    Got a present of one of the beer boxes from https://beercloud.ie/
    Currently finishing a can of Reel Deel Irish Blonde. It's grand, but wouldn't go mad for it

    Edit: Finished that can. Onto this now https://www.eightdegrees.ie/beers/sunburnt/. Tastes pretty much the same as the last can!

    I like English ale, have tried a few of the Irish ones now and wouldn’t be a big fan... somehow they make them too fruity or hoppy or something...

    Great one upmanship going on now, my brother in law is six years older and no sign of him being done, he even has very advanced heart failure so should be done if his GP was any good

    Some people with advanced heart failure are not getting the vaccine. My friends dad's heart is only working at 15% and his specialist said no, too risky

    On the Moretti myself this evening, the not as strong cousin of Peroni.

    Peroni would be one of my favourites. I am not a drinker really, 2 or 3 bottles/pints at a time and probably only 5 or 6 times a year so when I do drink I will only drink what I really like, regardless of price.

    Aunt 74 only got her first shot, other uncles and aunts in 70s recieved nothing yet. Know of people in their 60's with parkinsons haven't been offered it. My own mother has been seeing a respiratory consultant the last two years is 69 on inhalers etc no sign of her getting it. Know of a 35 yr old in a pharmacy who's had a first shot and got offered another first shot...

    A very sesnible decision. I know a few who had a few rough days after the vaccine, but most had no issue.

    Hopefully if the rest of us get the vaccine soon the risk drops massively for your friends Dad as a result.

    You woukdnt want much more than two or three bottles of it all the same, had 7 large ones one night and the next day was a complete write off.

    Better living everyone

    My mother got the first dose of Pfizer and was rough for two days after it.

    I’ve aunt that got Covid months ago. She has the two vaccines gone. She fell recently and broke a wrist and femur and when tested upon entry to the hospital tested positive to it again. Very little symptoms.

    Lock down I suppose, 15% is very advanced, even a flu would have to be avoided

    The second one is supposed to be worse, did she take any paracetamol.
    A neighbour who would never even take an aspirin and is 82 got the first Pfizer and flew it.
    But for her refusal to take any tablets all her life one of her children would have been a thalidomide victim. her doctor pressed her hard to take it for bad morning sickness

    Everyone around him will be vaccinated. He said he's not going to be going anywhere. He has a son my age with special needs and he has been vaccinated.

    Can you still test positive for a while after you've had it?

    I reckon even the vaccine might test you positive.

    I’ve a sister who tested negative numerous times and now has long Covid as they gave her nothing at the beginning when she needed something. She is on steroids a year now.

    She just has her second Pfizer one got. They are supposed to help improve things. She’s in the uk

    Can I download a form to apply for a sheep herd number? The er1 form seems to be for a new herd number or reactivating an old one. Or am I looking at it wrong? I have a herd number but want a sheep one too. Have some sheep bought. The dvo office must be still running on part time cos every time I ring I just get an automated message.

    I rang up the Dvo in Cork, sent an email stating my beef herd number and that I wanted a sheep herd no.

    I was looking at forms but seems it didn't apply, probably just for people starting from scratch.

    That was that.

    See the ceo of the charity bothar is in trouble and before the court. Ffs it was the one charity I liked to donate to as their plan seemed good. Charitable organisations and corruption are never too far apart it seems. Awful shame too but trust has been floored at this stage

    I wonder how many lads are going out with 100 Units of N per acre around 15th April and then asking on the 15th May when the weather dries up whether they should cut. There’s way too much bag nitrogen put out on certain farms in this country especially on silage ground. I know lads are afraid of stem but everyone should be ready to cut for the 25th May with Irish weather the way it is.
    Rant over ;)

    No vaccine is 100% certain to be effective. These ones are over 90% after round 2. So of 9 out 10 are effective the hope is that any new introdcution of the virus won't have transmissablity .

    Herd immunity through vaccination rather than through natural selection..

    Girl in my wife’s office tested covid positive two weeks after her first dose. By estimates she would have had 50% protection. She was caught on blanket staff testing and had no symptoms whatsoever.
    She lived with her parents and passed it to neither, possibly as a result of having one dose of the vaccine as it reduced transmission as well as protects.

    90% efficacy doesn't mean 1 in 10 have no benefit, all benefit.
