Are you a Westmeath man Dog? Or Longford?

Ahh Myles you know I'm not a man. Please consult your own gender database.

Are you sighthound

 

[nobody knows I'm a dog]

Are you sighthound

No I' not sighthound, I use the same name here as pish.
I had forgotten about sighthound, wonder where she's at now? Then there was godsdog....

Doing a bit of a Mylesie thing here but I hadn’t realised you were of the bumpy bits rather than dangly bit persuasion.

Guess what? . . . .

. . . . Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue said it was a really challenging and unprecedented time for farmers in relation to “the length of this winter” which was “likely to continue for a while yet”

Rain is likely for the next 10 days or so, Met Éireann’s chief hydrometeorologist has warned, as farmers face challenging weather conditions.

Eoin Sherlock said there were “tentative signs” that high pressure would develop, resulting in less rainfall towards the end of next week. However, he said at around the end of the month and the start of May the high pressure would move away. . . .

. . . Mr McConalogue later announced the introduction of a fodder transport support measure to provide additional assistance to livestock farmers most severely affected by the “prolonged exceptional weather conditions”. A financial contribution is being provided to offset transport costs of hay, fodder beet, straw and silage for feeding where this involves a distance of more than 75km.

Downpours likely to continue disrupting farming but potential high pressure respite on the way

Actually ,it's you who appear to be doing exactly what Charlotte does. When presented with evidence, it used to discredit the source material and deny the existence of the technology.

Rather than further derail the climate change scam thread I have posted my response to the above post here.

There is a distinct difference between evidence and low key hysterical rants involving the mass throwing of links at the scene of contention.

Now, please point me to where I denied the existence of the technology.

As I note once again, I am not suggesting that weather modification cannot be done, what I do question, however, is the long term viability of doing so. The Chinese are happy to throw all sorts of hardware at the task but do we know just how much energy is required to run these bits of kit? It may well be that they are using the arrays as a weapon, to deprive India of its rains, but they have to be careful not to cause uncontrolled flooding in China itself.

Bad Weather = = Never happened in Ireland before

In this instance.
It's been incessant since August.
No break.
I'm around a while.
And never seen this before.

Are you a Farmer = = Farmers are the real experts on Weather / Climate and I would be pretty sure Old Farmers would have seen all sorts of Bad Weather ( And Some Good )

Farmers pay far more attention to Weather / Climate ~ For Very Obvious Reasons.

Where Ireland is situated, it is going to get Rainy Weather / Very Rainy Weather = = Obviously occasionally you are going to get, the odd / some extremes of that ! !

Just like in 1976, there was a very long Heat-Wave ~ ~ In Ireland it is much more likely that you are going to get Bad Rainy Periods ~ ~ I am going to take a punt ~ ~ I reckon Ireland will have a Good Summer this year ! ( I bet that won't be seen as a positive by the Climate Nutters, if it happens )

Meh, I remember in the late 1970's we got a combine harvester buried up to its axels in the September and we didn't get it out until the following May.

Likewise I've seen a few bad ones but this is without any let-up.
I remember ploughing during February in the early 80s and a "technical drought " was the term.for spring barley.
Before the 6 week window bollox.
If you could plough away in December January you did and let the weather break down the furrow before the Harrow.

Absolute classics both, and good ones will sell for a multiple of their original price nowadays. Will we see the present crop of tractors still running in their mid fifties and even sixties? The electronics will either have given up or be 'unsupported' by that time I should imagine.

You'd be drawing diesel to the 7000s though when they get going hard.

Yeeeah! Loved the one I was given to drive as a student, you learn to double de-clutch pretty quick with an unbraked load of silage hooked up behind.

Happy days!

Or heading down a slope with a lime spreader that wants to go faster.
You learn to have a good landing spot to stop the possibility of a jack knife.
Or go down the steep hill with the load nearly gone.
Character forming stuff!

Aye, learn the tricks young and they'll stay with you forever, thank God. A few years back I was on a hillside with a tanker load of pig slurry when the front mounting to the frame snapped, creating what may be politely described as a dynamic load - a bit like my bowls at the time.

Got it home though.

Poor Charlottesweb/Kangal doesn't know what it's like growing up on a farm.....

Good to see he's watching EVERYTHING I post here though after I handed his skinny little arse to him on a plate.
I wonder did he tell the padre's discarded sex toy, Gowl, about his fantasies about his young lesbian daughter and wanting her to be a tranny?
Gowl is probably into that sort of thing too.

You don't know work until you pick stones out of a 10 acre field!

No. I'm a qualified Tractor driver too from a time working on the farm as an Estate Maintainer, which included spending one day a week in the local agricultural college facility.

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Was that down Collooney way Buddy?

After school....

 

[Professor]

No, t'was a different time & place, when there was opportunity. I feel the NW has a been bit bleak in that regard.

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

So first we have Wolf who all of a sudden isn't a Dub anymore and now you, Buddy, who's saying you're not originally from Sligo?

Why are you guys trolling this Site?

 

[jpc]

No!
There were limits!

 

[Fishalt]

That doesn't sound physically demanding, but it does sound so fucking boring that I'd rather do something backbreaking if it was even 1/10th more interesting.

It's not the site that gets it but the actual occasional trolls who ask for it.
Are you still out by the airport in a caravan, did you notice the increased rainfall? Noisy on the roof?

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

No Love! That was 2 years ago!

I'm in an attic these days and yes the rain does belt off the window but when I'm drunk I wouldn't hear a tornado.

 

[Professor]

Drunk! But the drink nearly killed you recently, why risk it? Sure anyway the sound of rain is relaxing in of itself, No need to use a rough aul fix for sleeping?

Why are there so few trees? Was the Irish countryside always like this, or have people terraformed it?
One thing I noticed is that there is no natural erosion control around those courseways. No binding grasses to form root mats to make the soil cling together. Big problem over time.

Generally we plant these along waterways in Australia to stop the banks eroding when it floods, they are incredibly effective. No amount of water force will pull them out. Obviously not a solution for Ireland, but there would be a native species that did the same thing.
