    Electricity was off earlier this afternoon for an hour or so. Off now for the past hour and they can't tell us when it will be back on. Battery is flat on the drill so I'm going to have fun mixing milk for the calves ☹

    How come ICBF don't put a photo of the bull next to his stats? I know we're supposed to accept the data before the bull but silk purses don't come from ears.
    Just annoying having to google them and then the grand sires instead of clicking on the name and seeing a stock image.

    What lab was it?

    Did you ring em to complain? Surely they can't be still charging you for that?

    I sent in 6 samples there to FBA week before last - results due Friday... I hope I don't have the same problem...

    FBA through Glanbia. Sent an email to the girl in Glanbia and if she has no answers I'll contact FBA

    Thinking it's abit of an own goal or a desperate last ditch attempt by ISIS or whoever did it,
    as all its going to do is strengthen the resolve against letting in migrates into Europe esp as you attacked Brussels

    Won't happen as the mentality of them would be if they are here they are happy but any still in Syria or other places will be just stuck there. I'm just waiting for the conspiracy theories to emerge that it was actually the Belgian government that carried out the attacks to enforce harder conditions on entering the country

    Maybe it was the French farmers complaining about prices?

    Is this a reply to all the media reports that they had captured some of these terrorists and knew the identity of others?

    Apart from whatever infidels they can kill, the real value of such a bombing is the disruption to "normal" life they can cause. And of course, any reprisials against ordinary Muslims and Mosques by hot heads is a boost to the terrorists and their campaign.

    As far as I can see this is in response to the capture of that guy a few days ago and now the rest of them are a little pi##ed off that they could be arrested now. So they want to go down in a blaze of glory and create as much havoc as possible. It's no coincindence that they targeted an American airline (as they see the most capitalist western society). It could easily have been a mcdonalds or starbucks. They knew the net was tightening on them so act now double quick.

    Yes but that's a very short term gain over a long time tactic

    ya see reggie you're looking at it with rational eyes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,471 ✭✭✭naughto


    Would it not be the case that they can and will attack at ease.I don't see this being the end of the attacks.
    With all the extra security since the Paris attacks they still got the bombs in place even if it was on them selves

    That's exactly what they want! Who are most of the refugees running from in the first place?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,559 ✭✭✭pedigree 6


    Who remembers john the shopkeeper not many.
    Who remembers john the suicide bomber who killed as many as he could the whole world.

    A lot of these people are unemployed living in rundown tower blocks watching daytime television looking at millionaire white people being chauffeur driven in limousines while they live on welfare (if they get it). Then include senior people who they look up to telling them of the deterioration of morality or culture of so called western society and how they must fight against or do everything they can to stop this ruination of the world and if they do they will be rewarded in heaven for all time.

    These people have such a sh#tty life already that all they can think of is death.
    It's up to their community leaders to steer these young people away from this life and to expel the wrong un leaders out of their communities.
    They really have no good role models or can see how they can better themselves. There's no easy answer to this.

    Lads you are not understanding what I'm saying. In a tactical sense it was an own goal.
    Never mind the refugee situation. From a battle standpoint it was a mistake. With refugees coming in and possibly isis members hidden amount them as is suspected it would make more sense to lie low and build numbers up and when things calm down either a concurrent series of attacks or place your men in locations and hit multiple targets at once. That would cripple the EU if a couple of the big countries were hit.

    Now two things have happened here as in either they have enough numbers sneaked in which I find unlikely or its a revenge attack from a local cell for the arrest of the Paris mastermind which is against the wishes of the greater cause which I find most likely.

    ISIS don't care about turning the refugees against the EU as many Arab states are against them already so that's a non runner. ISIS is in retreat across Syria and Iraq atm so I look at them now like a cornered rat just snapping out as best they can.

    You'll find alot more attacks in Europe as they have lost large ground in the middle east and will be beat into the mountains in a limited time I'd say. This will only strengthen ukip and the likes for a UK exit from EU. This will lock up the borders around Europe. The EU battleground could be deployed as a border force which was a possible plan in the background for a while. You'll find turkey being the interim camp for refugees in return for an EU membership and they will have to spend a time in that country first to be cleared before entering Europe.

    This will hinder ISIS access to Europe compared to previous times.
