    what's your point?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    That is one of the most horrific cases I have seen yet, I think he got exactly what he deserved.

    That's a great example of an extraordinarily lazy piece of journalism.

    I'm sure there were mitigating circumstances behind this case which would have certainly been brought up in court, but it's obvious that the journalist never even attended the court appearance & appointed himself judge, jury & executioner from behind his keyboard.

    There must be serious cutbacks at the Irish Times if their Agricultural Corresepondant hasn't been allowed out into the field to write up his articles. (pun intended)

    Not too many mitigating circumstances for the conditions described in fairness.

    Sure didn't OP tell us to? :P in fairness OP I'll more than likely be fantasising about Juliette Gash (DAT NAME) on Tuesday morning over some article that I didn't even read. :pac: Something to do with farmers?

    Edit: read the article. You'd be lucky if I was thinking about him tmara morning tbf!

    Be honest, you don't know what glib means, do you? Because the context in which you've just used it is incorrect.

    To me it sounds like he was in trouble somehow. No farmer leaves his flock to wallow in shit unless there's something wrong in his own life.

    Things must have gotten bad for him to allow it to come to this.

    I feel for the guy.

    wow. that went totally over my head. i went to the bother of reading 50% of the long scientific document and skimmed the rest, and was still completely in the dark as to the connection between it and the Irish Times article.

    I would have thought that the OP would have come back by this stage to illuminate us................

    Well because the farmers name is PJ Shiel and the author of the paper is PJ Shiel is the OP insinuating that this guy was too busy in America playing with his fancy science to look after the farm?? How do you know its the same person if that's the case?:confused:
