I think the best comment I ever heard on here was "they're everyday dreaming up new ways to die you" never a truer word said. Sorry for your loss.

Muckit · 08-05-2015 11:07pm

Ah look in the grand scheme of things tis nothing. They must have been racing around or something. Will never know. If the fence broke might have saved her. It wasn't knotted only crossed. A freak thing.

sea12 · 08-05-2015 11:19pm

I notice your allot more relaxed about things since your son was born muck it. You must be getting some sleep

Muckit · 09-05-2015 12:10am

Yes 'some' being the operative word

I suppose the little lad does put a slightly different perspective on things.

You hear strange ones out and about, but that's certainly up there with them. Like you said, a freak!

Kovu · 09-05-2015 12:29am

The sort of thing you can't plan for Muckit, don't kick yourself in the arse over it. There's probably a queue to do that anyway

Supposed to go to a Communion tomorrow, don't really want to go so may just use the old cow calving excuse. One needs to actually do something about that, she's 293 days tomorrow. Hope there's actually something in the wild bítch!!

WARNING TO ALL LORRY DRIVERS
Researchers for the Swansea Authority found over 200 dead crows near M4 recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be vehicular impacts.

However, during the detailed analysis it was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By analysing these paint residues it was determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, while only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.

a Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills.

The Ornithological Behaviourist very quickly concluded the cause: when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger.

The scientific conclusion was that while all the lookout crows could say "Cah", none could say "Lorry."

Crazy isn't it. Sometimes it's like they're looking for silly ways to die.

_Brian · 09-05-2015 3:31pm

Youngest lass is sick today and herself and eldest away at swim competition. So nothing being done here at all, and such a nice afternoon too.

Still, when their sick there's nothing can be done.

Went to Far From The Madding Crowd.

The farming scenes were pretty woeful - no surprise there!

Worst for me was Sergeant piking straw onto a horse drawn trailer - everything wrong including the task itself; he used to do a kinda skip and jump with each tiny pikefull (and that's definitely the wrong word)

Ah I didn't have time to act the eejit in Dublin to be honest. I had a job in both Leitrim & Sligo and was president of a sports club so nights out weren't priority I'm afraid.

Nekarsulm · 09-05-2015 11:23pm

Got a good bit of fencing done today. Lad with a Hitachi cleaning shores and drove all the posts. Feckin creosote on PDM posts is strong stuff. Must have wiped brow with the gloves, I look like an extra from The Magaluf Weekender....

Muckit · 10-05-2015 9:22am

I've seen a goodfeew using these lately. Where can they be got? Is PDM a brand name or the type of treatment?

I wouldn't wear one myself but I do like a good frock . Do women ever wear corsets anymore , or is it just the like of Dita von teese that indulges in them ?

Are you going to put a bid on the farm in Kilnacreevy?

PDM are the type of posts. They can be got here

we order them from a local fencing contractor

Muckit · 10-05-2015 9:53am

Nah, you'll see them a lot in the goth/metal scene. Have a nice collection myself but bloody hell they're dear, wouldn't be for everyday wear!

What's this about Kilnacreevy? I noticed one a few miles from me went up for sale too.

It would be tricky gear to wear dosing cattle alright I'd say !

I saw a nice farm for sale there in the farming indo , 94 acres. Looks like a neat spot .

Oh it's the same one I was thinking of, only knew Garadice, not the townland. Did he have a farm in Kildare as well? Or maybe I'm mixing him up with another man of the same name.

KatW4 · 10-05-2015 12:07pm

We were feeding the calves this morning and my boyfriend decided to show off. He tried to throw a straw bale (attached to a fork ) over the pen but he didn't have enough strength and dropped it which resulted in the fork smacking his chin!!! He's got a right big lump on his chin! I held in the laughter but my god it was funny!!!
