Dont think it was a story for the 9 o clock news, they made the mistake by not applying on time

Seen that headline with the title "what's different about me?" Well what's different is your parents didn't apply on time, that is all. Same would happen to other kids that didn't apply on time. Jebus, in my time you had to do an entrance exam for the most basic of secondary schools, still remember doing it, the primary had us well prepared. Do they think they can rock up to the door on the first day of school and look to be let in?

In a word yes.

It's not my fault this happened it's Irish society's fault I didn't get into the school.

Fcuk off

Daughter is off to secondary school today. Time flies.

You would be surprised how they get around things. We had a lad arrive at our school in a new uniform one time and he was enrolled in the other school in the town. We had two families shared to avoid fighting. So he was sent up to the other school and had already a uniform got for the other one. The hopes we wouldn't notice him in the room.

Best of luck to your daughter Whelan. It's an anxious time during change of schools.

The boy went back to his boarding place last night after a transition year in which he barely saw the place.

He's busy firing texts off left right and centre to organise a third cut of bales. Hope he gets it done before they confiscate his phone.

Little one here is off to play school today...

I am strangely surprised as to how she seemed to become 4 all of a sudden...

My father got an invite to go to the world young horse showjumping championships in zangersheide, lanaken.
He bred a horse who is jumping out there.

Wouldn't you know we're only getting good at breeding showjumpers when we don't have any horses anymore.:D

I can't remember which of the great German dressage meisters it was, many times a grand prix winner, but I recall a story that he lay on his death bed - at the age of about 86 - lamenting what a tragedy it was to be dying now, just as he reckoned he had begun to understand what dressage was all about.

Bit like the 90 year old who dropped dead when the supermarket buyer of his apples finally agreed he had produced perfect apples.

There's something really weird going on in this house, two night ago neither of the cats would come into the house, then when I finally coaxed them in they both got sick within an hour of each other. Then at 2am I was awoken by a huge bang, a lightbulb had exploded in the hallway :eek:
Just now I was working here on the laptop and I heard the cable start to move on the ground. Thinking it was one of the cats swinging out of it I started to give out and looked down to see the bloody thing moving on its own (not the cable swinging which I could put down to a breeze but the large adapter thingy in the middle of the cable!!) and the cats are both asleep behind me.

/leaves house.

Parents left lights on in hallway the other night as they had visitors. One of the bulbs blew and landed on the carpet. My mother went out to investigate and there was smoke and burn marks on the carpet. Lucky she went out to check. Why do bulbs blow like that?

Very lucky! I don't now, we always leave this light on as it's one of those low wattage ones and it's left on all night, has been for the last 25 years or so, since we were kids. Never exploded like that before, shards actually landed over 3 metres away in the other rooms, normally they just pop when switched on and that's that, new bulb needed.

I'll be giving away who I am completely now.
Ah don't matter neighbours know who I am anyway.

It's a she (mare) by Manhattan out of a Grange Bouncer mare out of a Taldi out of a Kildalton King mare.

Ye this was a candle type bulb, we leave a light on here in the bathroom at night, its a low energy one. Would make you think though

I suppose the diet coke with that feed was food for your conscience.

Remember, in a few years, you won't have any say in the matter, Whelan. I tell you it comes around quickly.
