    They're talking about giving tax incentives to people who buy old houses in rural towns and villages.


    They could try making the place more inhabitable by providing actual working broadband or repairing the odd pothole.

    It will be interesting to see how the scheme is structured. Anyway at least this scheme isn't only for new builds like the last one

    she was 18 years old, do they not show symptoms earlier than that? Or does it only show up on screening?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭have2flushtwice


    Some lad here spreading away... He's up and down the road with a fresh Holland and a new abbey I think it was.... White Led 's on the rear of the tank lighting the whole road up. Wouldn't like to be stuck behind him, although the speed he is going......

    She died on farm so it was only found in the post mortem. There has only been a few cases of Atypical BSE found, I think, so maybe it is a lot slower to progress than classical BSE. Thankfully, there are so few cases of it showing up, scientists don't seem to have much evidence of how it progresses.

    When BSE became well known, some scientists who were looking for funding predicted that hundreds of thousands of people would come down with CJD because of eating meat from animals with BSE.

    They got the funding they wanted, the public were terrified of eating beef and strict controls were brought in.

    The incidence is somewhere around one in two thousand or 0.05% and the majority will die before symptoms will occur.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creutzfeldt%E2%80%93Jakob_disease

    This new study examined over 32,000 anonymous appendix samples. Of these, 16 samples were positive for abnormal prion protein, indicating an overall prevalence of 493 per million population, or one in 2,000 people are likely to be carriers. No difference was seen in different birth cohorts (1941–60 and 1961–85), in both sexes, and there was no apparent difference in abnormal prion prevalence in three broad geographical areas.

    Get it looked at. I got a whack in the eye from hi-tensile wire last week. I went to the chemist to try get eyedrops over the counter, they said to get it looked at.

    They've seen a good few ppl coming into them a week or 10 days after an eye injury, but it's too late and they went blind in the eye.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Very poor interview by Minister Creed yesterday in relation to grain farmers and crop losses in the west.
    Basically, apply for a loan under the new scheme.

    You have a negative income last year, borrow the money!!!

    Hopefully they have agreed not to include the value of the farm when they're assessing eligibility for the fair deal scheme.

    Two travelling salesmen pulled up beside me at the shop today in a van with machinery stickers all over it .
    They told me they had supplied every hire shop that had a sign post in Galway but they owed "15's millions euros "to the bank and they were going to "repojess" everything next week so they were selling off what they could .
    Not only did I get them down from $1400 to $300 for a diesel genny ,but when I told them I had no money on me they were going to leave it into the back of the jeep and I could send them on a cheque again !!
    Wonder what the catch was there ?
