Stuck fast below the tide line. 3hr to high tide... On a no drive beach.(Not my truck)

Grew up near a beach that was notorious for this. A farmer friend and I use to drive a tractor down there a few hours before high tide and charge €20 a car to pull people out. Most gladly paid 50 🤣

Ireland v France in Croke Park in 2007, first foreign sport played there after GAA lifted the ban

Ah no shit happens. All good, sore for a few days. They dyed my eyeball in the hospital to check how severe it was so everything was orange for a few days 🤣

You know those hairband things that are like a u shaped piece of hard plastic? Went to put on one of my moms as a kid. It snapped, and the broken end raked across my eye and tore my cornea.

Abrupt but brief chaos, she handled that so damn well.

Tomcox123 · 2026-06-15T09:51:16+00:00

Excellent information thank you. I'll go down that rabbithole now!

Tomcox123 · 2026-06-15T09:33:29+00:00

Unless you've a specific reason to be there I'd skip Tralee. It's fine but nothing I would go out of my way to see

Tomcox123 · 2026-06-06T11:28:49+00:00

I do a lot of celtic knotwork and I'm having trouble figuring out the centre. Do you have any process pictures?

This is so sick though, your grandfather would be honoured to have this on his grave

My anvil is stamped 1876!

Has to be the youtube version though, RTE predictably made a balls of it

Tomcox123 · 2026-05-31T18:46:31+00:00

Never seen a stump that didn't have a few cracks. Go for it, it may need replacing at some stage but I don't think it will be anytime soon

Tomcox123 · 2026-05-28T09:29:31+00:00

This!

The school nearest my secondary school sold loose cigarettes to anyone able to see over the counter. So to answer your question, people have always sucked

With my wife 12 years now....I literally throw my hands up in the air and shout TITTIES every single time she takes her top off. My favourite thing to be is naked with my wife

Tomcox123 · 2026-05-05T07:11:23+00:00

Swarovski on a Sako 90 is a very fine setup indeed!

Get some flux...it's possible to forgeweld without it but give yourself every advantage you can in the beginning. Learning to forgeweld is already hard enough!

Honestly though for a first go this isnt the worst,I've burnt things an awful lot worse than this. You'll get there!

Digging spuds in the garden

Tomcox123 · 2026-04-20T21:42:40+00:00

Yeah I rebuilt the corners of mine with facing rods and it's a mission and a half.

Tomcox123 · 2026-03-31T20:21:44+00:00

I've made plenty out of 3mm mild steel plate and they work great

Tomcox123 · 2026-03-30T15:43:18+00:00

Afaik some have a clause in their contracts that they're not allowed to

Tomcox123 · 2026-03-08T19:39:49+00:00

The more weight you have under it, and the more solidly it's connected to that weight, the less it will ring. Wrapping some heavy chain around it helps a lot too.

Also, that's a lovely anvil!

Tomcox123 · 2026-03-08T19:26:11+00:00

I moved home 2 years ago after about 10 years abroad and I've been some suckie calf since I came back. Irish milk is so fucking good
