In the Play-Pen: Ginja Ninja

    Good evening, good evening, how are all you folks doing tonight? I'm here to open a thread dedicated to the relentless questioning of one of the true veterans of C&H, Ginja Ninja. We go WAY back. We're like this....

    fingers+crossed.jpg

    Ginja was a year below me in the tiny three teacher primary school in East Mayo we attended. He lived right beside the school, which meant we often had to go looking for lost footballs in his sheds and when we were bored sometimes we kicked footballs at his fathers cattle (As far as I recall Ginja didn't like that last one). We went to different secondary schools but we still hung around with each other and I've fond memories of me Ginja and some other lads gathering on an almost daily basis under a bridge to smoke a few fags. He was also there the first time I got properly drunk, after we were refused admittance to a teenage disco. Oh and we were at Oxegen together in 09. All in all me and Ginja have had some craic over the years.

    Anyways a few years ago back when I was Shacklebolt, meself and himself happened to come across each other on boards. Then when I returned after a long abscence I found that he'd somehow managed to become a mod, meaning that he'll probably delete the following photo from this post....

    alan_1.jpg

    (Only remaining image of him in a mankini)

    So anyways, Ginja is an absolute legend and its been a pleasure to have known him all these years. Fire away with all ye're questions after an obligatory photo of myself and Ginja in our younger days.

    I think we were celebrating winning a match?

    Have yous done the silage yet? :pac: My daddy's doing his next week I think, hard to get the weather for it! Yes,being the jammy feckers we are me and dad picked the best week of the year to do it,it's rained since

    Round or square bales? Round,Silage pit this year though,bales are too mainstream

    Dairy or beef? Or do yous keep sheep? :pDairy back in the day,Beef now and we had sheep one summer,they are demonspawn so never EVER again

    And now for a non-farmer question (from this post one would think I actually know stuff about farming, when the opposite is true :o), are you really ginger a ninja? yesSometimes I'm a ninja,more often I'm a bull in a china shop

    One law you would change and why??The illegality of weed,it's use should be legal,importing or possessing more than a personal amount should be Illegal it would free up a lot of time to go after the bigger fish in the drug market

    Biggest pet peeve??Ehm,nothing springs to mind.But this is a can of worms if I get going.

    How would you woo a woman??Ehm,I can honestly say I'm mentally deficient in the wooing department.Probably show off,cook something or just be nice.I would more than likely shy away for an extended period of time.It defies all logic that I'm with someone,I maintain she confused me with someone else and hasn't noticed yet
