She's grand, thanks Still a bit himac-ish round the head, she's stiff so has to move her whole body to look around her. Won't go near dad though. Can't blame her, if someone threw a rope on me, dragged me out of a ditch and then pulled me on a halter behind the tractor for a few fields, I'd be pretty pissed too :P

The father bought a young bull ears ago on a farm and had to put a ring in his nose before we could go home. The farmer and my father told me to get out of sight in case the bull blamed me so I left them to it.

We had that bull for 4 years and I could do anything to him but as soon as my father appeared, the bull would go into full-on psycho mode until my father left again.

Just talking about Irish college in the Gaeltacht here and apparently you can get a 20%(?) discount if the student is a member of a GAA club.

It might be of use to someone:)

Some washout today. Was at a festival of fun in west Clare, they had to cancel all the field events for the kids. A lot of vintage left early. One fella didn't take his ford off the trailer for fear of getting dirt on the tyres.

Took forever to get daughter to wear wellies and then a lifetime to walk back to the. Car as every puddle was fun.

Managed to get bull into shed and away from heifer so he didn't bull her but the bull with two legs got to service her.

Thanks, but it turns out I'm too old for the Gaeltacht these days. Fond memories form teenaged years tho.

Apparently, 730euro for 2 weeks and a rebate of 140 if the child is in the GAA.

Recession must be over, was at the wineport last night and it was packed.
The cost for three meals last night would've bought six meals anywhere else,
More power to them if they can do it

the mother was in the union in work so I got gaeltacht scholarships through them, not sure how much I learned but it was good craic and gave me the grá for the language which is why 6 years after the leaving cert I still use Irish as a living language to talk to friends, read in or listen to the radio in

Wow!!
Do they still do the scholarship?
Remember when I won it, it was £120 if you won the scholarship & £220 if you didn't.
Good 3 weeks, but I was too young

Well done. Most in my old school (including myself) aimed for a D in ordinary level. Never worked at it at all.

No idea, I'm afraid. The eldest is talking of going next year so only looking into it now.

Just thinking £100 was a lot of money in those days.

Hate the language with a passion I think it's more to do with the way it is taught in school than anything else.
