    Bug doing the rounds I'm the only one at home that hasn't got it yet.

    A lot of coughing and sniffing round here. The spoon of cod liver oil is mighty stuff;)

    Ah jaysus, why did you have to mention cod liver oil.
    Armitage Shanks is my best friend at the minute.

    In local shop this evening that seems to sell almost leverything. A good looking woman in front of me has few things in her basket. Asks lad at counter if he has a hot water bottle.
    'Indeed I do', he says (and I'd say with other ideas on his own mind). Is it for a single or a double bed you want it?

    Don't buy cod liver oil in a clear bottle.
    The sunlight destroys the omega 3.
    You would actually be doing yourself more harm than good by taking gone off cod liver oil.
    Only buy it in a dark bottle or capsules in a container protected from sunlight.

    Thanks be to God. It'd have set a bad precedence if it was upheld.

    We'd all be taking up hillwalking and tripping over things looking for easy money.

    It'll be interesting to see where the costs award goes. If costs are awarded against her it could be costly.

    Might put others off chancing it in the future. She'll have her own solicitors costs at least to pay

    Just back from the local shop. Some lad had parked his car taking up all the spaces so I had to pull in in front of the petrol pumps.

    I was paying for my few bits when your man arrives back into the shop with a big red head on him, 'What f***ing tool parks in front of the f***ing petrol pumps? Will they f***ing move their f***ing car, I'm in a hurry!'

    'That'll be me parked there', I said, calmly. 'I'll move it in a second, I had nowhere else to park because some f***ing tool took up all the parking spaces.'

    His jaw dropped and he went off out and the man behind the counter doubled over laughing, apparently it wasn't his first time doing that but it was the first time anyone said anything to him:rolleyes:

    Anyone else here at the Jalex open day on Sat? Jesus I've never been so jealous of a set up before! Fantastic stock, all quiet too. Seem to be grouped according to breeds in the pens as there were pens of black limos, then reds, Maine Anjous, then sims, blues etc. Very few ch about the place though! Lot of southern cattle as well, I was checking the tags as ye do and noticed one that's from near me! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,371 ✭✭✭MickeyShtyles


    Been clearing a bitta ground here in dribs and drabs for the last while. I can only do it on weekends as I've to drive 90 odd miles to it.
    But look it what I found (what I think I found anyway) in the process.
    From a bitta googling it turns out to be Calafornian Cedar....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,559 ✭✭✭pedigree 6


    Still thinking about that stupid ill thought out "supposed" animal welfare full page ad in the paper last week and then the thread going here about cows not letting their calves suck.

    Maybe the farmers here affected should ask the genius who put the ad in the paper for advice.



    Only joking.
    Don't do this.

    Or maybe.......?????

    Yes they are.

    Spawn is protected, didn't think frogs were.

    Didn't know spawn was protected! But sure never touched it either, hate the stuff. Remember one year finding a heap of it in a giant puddle at the side of the road and it was drying out so I brought it all down to a pond. Took me days cause I was about 8 or 9 and I had to carry it in a lick bucket. :D

    You travelled a bit for that. I've seen himself at the Limousin sales in Roscrea a few times. He was beside me ringside one time. Friendly kinda guy. Cattle mad, I'd say.

    Was talking to someone who was there on saturday. Some set up. Is it true most of the animals will be calving near to 3 years old?

    There is a blanket license in place to allow school teachers collect frog spawn for use in classrooms.

    As far as I'm aware, Frogs, their spawn and their habitat ( EU habitats directives) are protected.
