It's no harm the guard's are being brought into the 21st century.

That'd put it over alright, but it'd be close. (Using 300kg per bale)

A local tradesman always said that Joe public would ask what do I owe you? while a guard would ask do I owe you anything?

Now that you mention it , I did a job for a guard a while back . I had it priced at 900 and when I was finished he told me his mate reckoned it could have been done for 500 and could I wait a week . A good few weeks of unanswered mobile calls before I had to leave a msg at the station he worked out of that the plasterer that did a job for him was looking for him and he got back to me quick enough
Paid me 500 and told me to wait for the rest , I left another msg first thing in the morn and got the rest and a bollicking
I wouldnt mind giving them a discount if you could trust them to do you a favour but I wouldnt trust a lazy guard to tie their laces in the morning not too mind anything else

Always ask a busy person to get something done.

Years ago a neighbour was stopped by the guards in his truck. When the guard was checking the truck paddy said "i was going to join the guards at one stage" the guard said "ooh really and how come you didn't?" Paddy said " I failed the ignorance test" as you could imagine the guard wasn't too impressed

I witnessed a similar one years ago in a pub at closing time. The guards came in to clear the place and a local told him he was goin to join up at one stage too..... He said he was thick enough but not tall enough.

It's a thankless job all the same.

Posted on here a few weeks ago about a car crash at the end of our lane, it was a garda chase. They chased the car for over 8 miles before it crashed, within minutes there were 8 squad cars , 4 ambulances , fire brigades etc. Local shop was robbed at gun point had to wait 30 minutes for a squad car to come. When the crash was reported it was a single vehicle collision not a chaes, it was all cleared up really quick.

When I was in Dublin, I shared a house with a couple of guards for a while. I used to get into Coppers for free. Just walk in the middle of a group of them while they all flashed their badges. Hated the place. It was like going to war every time you went to the bar.

On a positive note you got in for free

Nice healthy looking calves.

Before I go. That red calf square on hasn't got a swelled navel or a bit of a rupture??

Actually first time round. The three white heads stayed away from the feeder and I thought they were going to have to be trained. Once encouraged to the feeder they latched on. Bit of a relief

Fecking Meteor and their fecking outages all over the country! Must have turned my phone on and off a dozen times thinking I'd fried it earlier by dropping it on the road.
