    He has a very nice top line, it's just the front legs leaving him down. Lads are gone mad for stars and he has plenty of them. but is it abit late to be selling him now I wonder.

    Cow broke an we missed her as well part time farming here so it can be near impossible to catch them. He's out on grass the last two weeks to put a nice shine on him will put up a pic to compare the two if I can.

    Some absolutely vile gobshítes smashed a load of Buckfast bottles down at the local pier so the pool area and ramp is covered with broken glass. I spent the last half hour taking the largest shards and pieces out and will call the local Tús guys in the morning. What the hell goes through some peoples heads in order to do something like that??
    I'm not talking one or two bottles here, I counted eight necks that hadn't been smashed to smithereens.

    Oh and fcuk pine martens and the damn clever protected heads on them.
    One got into the larsen and ate the caught bird, then killed my call bird through the wire :pac:

    Broken glass and fag butts in playground near me. Feckin shocking. It's not like someone dropped a bottle by accident either

    Ugh.....I went out for a nice leisurely walk at 9. Only back in the house now, phone rang and had to go get a cow in and a vet for a fella. Cow riddled with mastitis, me and the vet cut the tit off and dosed her with effydral/life aid. Went down in the crush, had to drag her out. Got her out and she wouldn't sit up or anything, died without bothering to try and live at all.
    I think I'll leave my phone at home next time :pac:

    And now I have an orphan calf.

    Have you seen the cost of them fellas! Sure a vet is almost better as he can call out to the house, would have to drive to find westdoc.

    What did they invent?

    My arms are banjaxxed this morning, had to take down and repair an aerial on the house, nothing more frustrating than rusty bolts and somebody on the ground telling you how to do it properly :rolleyes: Bleeding heavy thing to hold in one arm while fixing on U bolts as well.
    And I still have to call someone to fix it! Male/female pins and connectors, what the fook...it's like a different language.

    About two weeks, I don't really know for sure to be honest, I know her bag was frigged from last year as the two back tits weren't sucked and she got mastitis in both of them. They were swinging down at her hocks so I'd say it was hard for the owner to tell if the bag was swollen.
    I went back down to feed the calf after she popped her clogs. Maverick kept very well in the wardrobe, I recommend it ;)

    Ta :)

    We put up a dish, after all my arsing about! Was wondering why the bleeding aerial was so heavy, the pole hold it up was part of a crush we dismantled. Waste not, want not!

    Twit of a collie pup got told of a can of builders expanding foam. Managed to put her teeth through it. No wonder she looks surprised!
    Luckily not too much of it stuck on her hair.

    Lucky escape.
    Know a fella dropped one in his kitchen and the top broke off. Went round the room like a rocket and destroyed the place before he got hold of it. From what I remember three cabinet doors needed replacing, fridge door needed replacing and one wall and ceiling needed reskim, pain as kitchen was just finished and all new, the foam was just to seal round extractor pipe. I'd say it was some panic.

    Christ. They probably know well. Was watching that programme about the guards in Dublin last night and if they do someone for buying drugs they are only delaying the process. They are going around in circles!

    I was through the town there an hour ago. Both chippers had queues out the doors onto the street. It reminded me of years ago staggering out of the local nite club and the mad rush to the chip shop :-)

    Some win for Westmeath U21 hurlers tonight, beating Kilkenny in the Championship.

    Thought i was hearing things as i listened to the sports results, i wonder what were the odds of that result. Kilkenny missed a penalty at the end to win it i think.

    They did indeed miss a late penalty.
    I think that U21 Kilkenny team would have plenty of the minors that won the championship in 2014.
    And Carlow beat Laois tonight too!

    Did Offaly win?

    Yeah. Thing as you know are bad here but I never thought they'd lose to Kildare.
    I think the semis are: Offaly vs Carlow, Westmeath vs Dublin.
