I think as I'm organising the brothers stag do next year I may just have to make sure everyone's got their passport as I'm making the call that we're all for France. Coybig. ⚽️

This lad's more of a hurdler than a fencer.



Serious answer, whenever I can't sleep I ball myslf into an uncomfortable position for a few mins. Then move into a comfy one, I then find it easier to fall asleep. Also reading with a dark background on the phone.

At 2.30am? HAAAAA. Good luck for the next few years! I used to have to be sent to sleep as a babby by someone stroking my hair.
I'm after starting uproar in the shed by waking up the two cows that had their babies taken away earlier. Whoopsie.

Back away slowly and and pretend nothing happened they might just chill out a little. Likes her sleep at night luckily 11-5/6 very doable normally, 'rash' is causing issues and it's my fault so mammy isn't getting up this time. :rolleyes:

Rash eh? What did you do wrong? Calpol should cure everything. It used to for me anyway! Ah they're still roaring but it's quietened down a good bit, thank feck. Off to Ballyconnell for the van retest in the morning so I guess I better get a few hours kip!!

tax has left my bank account this morning, spoke with a lad the other day who thought because the money didnt actually leave his account on the 12 that it wasnt set up right and he made another payment along with a surcharge, I assume the money will come out twice on him

I'd say if things are in order they should be able to refund him easily enough if they do take it out twice.
I hate tax :mad:

It's nice to have an income that's taxable, though.

I don't like not having to pay tax because I know I've had a crap year.

True enough but I think too much of what I make goes to people that don't care how it's spent .

Neighbour of mine, like most of us, hates paying tax. So he buys machinery etc that he doesn't need with borrowed money to avoid tax. Changed accountant twice cos they tried to advise him differently saying "them h@@rs are all working for the government and it's me that's paying them"

I rather pay half my money to the government than all of it to the machinery dealer

+ most likely interest to banks

you only pay tax if it's due, lending organizations have to be paid in bad years as well as good

As I get older my attitude is getting more resentful about paying taxes and I don't give a bollox if it is not PC.
Example - a few weeks ago OH and I had to visit our GP as we both had a dose which resulted in a nasty chesty cough which wouldn't go away.
In fairness the GP only charged us €50 (€25 each) but the antibiotics and steroids that we were prescribed came to just over €70.
Last Friday evening (6pm ish) we dropped into the local hotel to get a bite to eat and were chatting to a few of the local "regulars" all of which are unemployed and wouldn't lift a scissors to cut their own nails
I am sick and tired of working my ass off so lazy good for nothing feckers can have medical cards, rent allowance etc.

Sort of on the same topic (ish!)
The maternity box for my impending nephew arrived yesterday. It's such a good idea, pity it would probably be taken advantage of here.
This is what's in it- The box it comes in can be used as a crib for the first few months.


The box/crib & some of the things.

Yea, Finland. There's an option to take the monetary value instead but most people take the box for their firstborn at least.

bogman_bass

Yeah I've seen it online before. I like the use of the box as a crib. The baby doest give a damn about fancy cribs

Was waiting to collect kids off bus in local village other evening @4.45. Was parked opposite pub, seen 2 lads wobbling out door. Then one of them went back into the door way of pub and p###ed all over the floor.
Disgusting.
Another fella came down Street with his trousers around his knees. I was only there 5 minutes..

I have seen simular episodes but not in daylight hours.
This Country has gone to the dogs since the boom went bust.
Hard working, tax paying citizens particularly those in rural areas are living in fear day and night. To be honest I'm one of them.
IMO there are far too many fit and able bodied people sucking the Social Welfare system and getting away with it.
Pisses me off big time :mad:

There's a pub not too far from me and apparently you can go in there any day and it will be full of guys and gals, all drawing welfare. The only time they leave the pub is to go to either the bookies or chipper nearby. Crazy when you think about it.

Just so you know I'm blaming you for killing the hard drive and keyboard of my laptop, spent the whole day hitting my head off the table trying to rescue 'stuff' before goes back to be fixed:D:pac: . Have herselfs tablet now, such a hateful curse they are.

I don't have to think about it. During the summer I asked a relative 26 yo guy (2nd cousin on my Mam's side) if he would be interested on going on the books for 2 to 3 days a week for a couple of months doing general farm work - cleaning sheds, tiding the yard, spraying weeds about the yard/lane with the knapsack, fixing fences, gates, a bit of painting, usual stuff etc.
He said NO and didn't even bother to ask me how much per hour he would be getting. The worst part is that his grandparents were hard working people who reared and educated 6 children on 30 odd acres of marginal Cavan land.

Some of the local pubs in Longford/Cavan take your bet over the counter, record it in a book and then phone the bet into the bookie as there are no bookmaker nearby.

That's 'nothing' according to a certain adult website I thought:rolleyes:, I'd be far too innocent for such things. Unless you really do find accounts and diaries etc naughty :pac:.
To clarify was updating drivers and meant to close all tabs but left open a tab to reply as above which left laptop running and seemingly this somehow caused the disc to crap itself as was meant to restart or else we've fairies/elves in the house
