That's the peacock butterfly alright! Always find one or two hibernating in a wardrobe here.

Did you show the heifers? Was a good sized sale and trade was alright considering the current situation imo. I carried a few cows home for a man and only in the door now, some craic backing 200 hundred meters through a 10" gate off a narrow road in the dark. Thankfully the rain held off until I was turned for home.

Yea sold 4, trade isn’t great
Hope trade improves

Good to see the EU supporting US beef farmers ...

Well it might be when he takes over the world.

But if you're not following Styropyro on YouTube, maybe just give him a look see.

It's the consent thing that's the issue

Went to the cinema last night for the first time in yonks, date night it was, and saw a beautiful film "Blinded by the light" , things have been foobar in England for a long time.
As a side note, it was a small town cinema, Saturday night, and only about 10 in our screen. It would be a shame if these places closed down, our local finished up about 20 years ago. Bloody Netflix etc.

With the price they charge to see a film it’s no wounder there closing.
With the films being online a few days later if not before and with s half decent internet connection and know how to get it on your own tv can you really blame people for not going

There's no comparison between going to the cinema and watching on your telly at home.
Not that I'm into GAA, but like saying why would l go see a match when could watch on telly. Or listening to music on CD/record/streaming as opposed to going to a concert.

Especially not if it's the "camcorder versions" available for download while the film is still in the Cinema. I think the death of the local cinemas is more likely to be the larger Cinema chains with their bigger screens and better sound systems. Some of the largest grossing box office takings ever were this year.

Netflix doesn't compete with Cinema as it's content is too old, it's not even a competitor to movie rentals.

I wonder whatever happened to the Leitrim mobile cinema. That was great. It used to park beside Heustons in Mohill & if a big lorry went by on the road you could feel the whole thing rocking

When I'm at a game I'm normally waiting to see a replay of what has just happened. Was at a local championship game last night. As luck had it the commentator for local radio sat beside us in the stands as we had commentry for the whole game. Young lad said to me how much time left. Commentator said on radio 6 minutes left

Water John

Haywire, is that your story, it was a lorry passing???

Odelay

Marty is a pain to listen to on the commentary. He’ll be using his favorite phrases scintillating/ papalating shortly.

I’m stuck in a shopping center- oH 45mins inside H&M- no match for me.

Tipp always looked to have the edge, but it spoiled the game as a contest

Richie was full aware of the conditions too. No sympathy for him.

I think Richie was trying to get him back for earlier, if I have that right, when he hit him across the face.

Ai. She never repeated before but age against her.

Yeah think revenge was his priority at time. Still can’t help feeling so sorry for him tho. 3 seconds of madness, and a lifetime to regret it.

If she was served today , I would do her again tomorrow. Or if possible have her with a bull when she is due to come in heat in 3 weeks

Thanks for the advice but I have decided she is going. She has bad feet too and I hate to see her over winter walking on concrete.
