    My GP was giving Pfizer, whatever he saw in it he was claiming it to be the best since the start, apparently it works different than AZ.
    Its not like he's selling the stuff, if he sees it better he has a good reason.

    My father is after getting both jabs of the Pfizer vaccine.
    Never took a thing out of him. He takes aspirin anyway as part of his medication. So if that had an effect.?
    But he claims no side effects whatsoever from either jab.

    I believe it equates to your chances of being killed in a car.
    I'd take my chances with the vaccine rather than the virus.

    Yea, I'll have no no problem taking it tomorrow as well, You've a one in twenty chance of getting a clot if you get Covid proper and even a slight chance of a clot with asymptomatic Covid

    Shouldn't have been any company name attached to the vaccines, it'd put a stop to all this bull**** about which 1 is better or worse.

    I'd still like to know personally myself.
    It absolves all responsibility from the doctors and hse then.

    On the radio it was reported gardai were searching for two men (non nationals) who were involved in an armed raid on a shop in ferns yesterday morning and an attempted burglary in the area where that helicopter was this morning.
    A landowner (I probably know who ) verbally abused the gardai reported on the radio. I saw a farmer in a field of sheep with the heli overhead. Probably him.
    And another young man was arrested on scene for something totally different than all this.

    All from southeast radio.

    The Garda helicopter never entered my head. Not for this area anyway. I thought it was search and rescue or a private helicopter.

    I may stay home now..

    To finish off the story.

    The local radio reported today the two men were arrested on Sunday evening in the area after a garda footchase. They were arrested on a farm with one in a slurry tank with a garda also in the tank to apprehend him.
    I heard locally they were sitting in a scrap car behind sheds on a farm.
    Got to love local radio for the info. :D

    The garda helicopter was back Sunday morning with the entire state police force. :p
    Houses in three different parts of the county were searched.
    And to finish it off the suspects are appearing in Wexford court today.

    Congrats. We were were close to getting it until this round of restrictions came in and even though I was working, the company are getting financial support from the government which means they won’t lend to us. It’s frustrating. The finish line seems to keep moving in our race to get a mortgage.
    Plenty of spending needs to be done on the farm to but saving hard and still need to keep that up.
    Best of luck anyhow with your journey

    Great move having the auction on marteye
    Some stuff seemed cheap, some overpriced.

    Was keeping an eye on it as I’m hankering after a rear loader with tine grab, must be plenty not being used about the country. BJD would be handy rather than running half the country for one.

    Neighbour has a shear grab one with the mast lift. Very handy on a medium sized tractor.

    Brian,
    Keep any eye on Ballymena Livestock Mart. They're now running a monthly machinery auction online and there's usually one or two of those mckenna rear tine grabs for sale at them. There's one coming up on the 23rd I think, although the catalogue isn't usually available until the day or so before the start time.
    They used to have a quarterly sale on a saturday with four auctioneers going between small lots, tyres and general lots. It used to be thronged with people but the owner says it's the best move ever going online, no auctioneers to pay on the day and prices seem to be higher and still the same commission % for him.
