The completely useless irrelevant thread

After a shocker of night last night hay baling, having a sleep this arvo and I was woken up by the bells and whistles of the volunteer fire brigade.
A raging fire on the joint directly behind us.
Certainly cleared the foggy haze from the brain.
Consequently, won't be moving far from home this afternoon.
As my mate would say, f... the hay.

Fortunately, we have finished the bit of hay we had.
Every man and his dog around here is now a hay contractor.
All those dairy farmers who sold off their herd, sold their permanent water, but kept the hat equipment.
I am gearing up for a bit of grain truck driving as an emergency backup.

Morals police have hunted down prominent gay conservative broadcaster and commentator Alan Jones. Historical charges some of which are 'inappropriate touching' ffs.
 
Unfortunately, the day has caught up with me.
Very early starts and working into the night.
Time to have a kip, with a forecast of some rain and a thunderstorm in the offering this afternoon.

Have you got that fekin Brome(?) up there? After blitzing the cape weed we've got a plague of that s***.

Wayne looks more like spear grass to me.
Plenty of that here.
Brome not in the paddocks only in a bit of "lawn" area

Yeah, spear grass, that's it. That and barley grass. We've spent weekends pulling it out by hand.

I think we've done a great job restoring our previously overgrazed paddocks, but that crap certainly has taken advantage.

And I suspect a lot of it comes in with the hay. At least no Paterson's Curse or lupins here.

Hopefully not from the hay, Wayne. But "meadow" hay does have many useless grasses in it at times.
The Meadow hay that I am baling at present is top quality, South West Pasture mix, going at 115 bales to the acre. But it is in 5 foot round rolls.

I can only be guided by that great PM of Australia Tony Abbott who observed that "He touched us all"

I gather Abbott did NOT say that; your link looks like a stupid parody account. The dark punchline is presumably recycled from a very real and disturbing, but unrelated, local news item from years earlier - https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/n...s/news-story/c2d97bbaabc5a112c5309b2c4fe7b1fe .

If you have any credible source for that "quote" from that X account, feel free to post it. Regardless, randomly pasting that whole genre of reality-blurring satire is dangerous as it can have the less discerning accept it at face value.
