What time is closing time in the north?
Tis years since I had a pint of harp! Don't see it many places now.
Think it was Waterford city about 15 yrs ago, there wasn't any Heineken in any of the establishments we frequented of a night.

Agreed, hard on the stomach, I'd say I was around 18 the last time I had a feed of it.
Could handle alot more of it then than I could now I'd say!

I think they aided bullying more so than a straight barrier.

It was good stuff, if you wanted larger you had harp.
Think closing time is 1130 in UK.
Being at a few weddings in NI, strange to be going to bed early

I was up there myself during the week and came across these lads recycling pallets on the shankhill road. I stopped to give them a hand.

Say i want to work as a farm manager and eventually a sharemilker in the future which would ye say would be better be tied down for 2 years on the teagasc managers course or go new zealand missourri saudi and canada to milk cows before you come home hopefully with a few pound in the pocket

I think you may have answered your own question there.

As waffle says work for someone with attention to detail and all the time you are working try to think of the herd as a manager would not as a farm hand. You'll be way ahead because you will already be asking yourself the sort of questions that a management course tries to answer.

You can get harp on tap in my local in west Clare. I find it less severe in the morning in comparison to Heineken

Unfortunately a long time since I was in full time formal education. Although I learn something new daily.

Long time here too since I was in college. Always found stout to be the easiest drank on the second morning. Lagers, ales and ciders cut the stomach out of me. I put a good bit of research into those findings though. Probably as much as I put into my degree I would say.

Cider is the only thing I can't touch. The odd time I get out, I have a good feed of Heineken, harp or Guinness, the very odd time, smithwicks. I'd normally have a few bottles of peroni at home.

Has anyone an old crawler machine lying around, looking for something a bit different to restore for a change. Have done a few tractors but haven't gone near anything with tracks.

No I did not, she escaped us as she was calved early and was too strong when she was in the shed again. Will skull her after she calves next year.

Very late for you to be up missus!:-)

Indeed it was a great win for Longford, and above in Clones too.
Wexford hurlers had a good win too.
