Sue if they didn't win that soft all Ireland there two years ago he'd be well gone. Even daddy wouldn't be able to keep him in there.

It'll be a long time until Galway win any kind of a senior AI be it soft or hard! We'd have won that game yesterday if he would stop using that damn sweeper and cut out all the silly fouls. We have the forwards to out score any team if we went man to man.

I knew we'd get you out! Galway won't see a hurling AI in my lifetime sadly. The pity about Clare at the moment is that that clown could destroy a team of talented players who should win a fist of all irelands.

Donal Maloney and Gerry o Connor are the men for the job and I'm gone blue in the face from saying it. Always got the best from that bunch of players unlike the poor fella trying his best.

Sorry to hear that RTE sports presenter Bill O'Herlihey has died. Always thought he a very fair and balanced presenter and also a perfect gentleman. RIP Bill

Not often that I would get too bothered by a so called public figure dying, but I was genuinely very sad to hear of Bills passing. He had a great knack at the old presenting game, pity he didn't get to enjoy more of his retirement RIP.

I'd doubt it, can't see them going outside Clare to be honest.

Nah, I don't think there's much wrong with stating the obvious. Labouring the pioint and idle speculation is another matter.

Best of good luck Bodacious. You'll certainly be missed around here. Don't stay gone!

Enjoy seeing his/her photos of quality cattle and also informed and knowledgeable contributions.

My friend is over from Essex for a few days and she can't get over how lovely Ireland is!

Took her to the farm earlier and she spent a good 20 minutes just watching the calves, absolutely fascinated with them. Funny!

When my and OH cousins visit Ireland from the US and UK they always love to visit us and see the cattle, feed calves and just walk through the fields. The children/young ones love to have photos taken of them sitting in the tractor, 50b and lorry.
I especially enjoy their look of amazement and joy when a calf sucks their fingers or they eat their first blackberry plucked from the hedge

working this weekend when its my week to have my son

I despair of this country.:mad:

Just back from my accountants after carrying back a vat reclaim form. We had everything needed sent off first time and got a return saying we had to send pictures. We did and expected to be paid around now.

I opened the letter after milking saying that the address was 'incomplete'?

WTF?

It's the exact same address that got both returns to me the next day after postage, the same address as every other vat reclaim i have sent off for the last 20 years, the exact same address the same organisation manages to get me on when sending out my tax demands but now, all of a sudden, when i am looking for a refund, they cannot accept the perfectly valid address to repay the money but can still contact me on? It's not like they haven't got the bloody bank details to just transfer the money into.

Fcuking bunch of numpties.

So next time you are watching the exchequer returns and they tell you that government spending is 2-3-400 million under projections, at least you know where the money they are underspending is coming from....your pocket:mad:

Its not recent either..
Many years ago I sent a cheque off to the tax office to settle. Not bothering with a note I wrote my name and RSI (precursor to PPS No) number on the back.
Bank contacted me a while later saying the cheque had been returned as it wasn't known whom it was for.
I contacted the office and asked what the problem was, she explained that there were no details along with the cheque, I said my name and RSI number were on the back, "it's not standard to turn them over and look there" was her reply.. Yet, she could find out my bank branch and send the damn thing back !!

I was cleaning out the calving pens in the back of the shed earlier this evening and the next I hear a massive BANG beside me. Christ I didn't know whether to pee myself or have a heart attack it gave me such a fright!

Hadn't the fecking wheel on the barrow just burst with the last grape of dunged straw I'd thrown on! T'was only patched last week and wasn't used since. Least my ticker works!:D

Like carrying the shopping bags, the less trips you have to traipse back and forth the better. Been patched a good few times now though. Time for a new one.
