More like the sign of the wimp who dreads getting a shock from it

Ever notice some people dont seem to feel the shock at all, I am definitely not one of those

I had a mess around with it, so many people have added obscenities to names that no matter what name you enter it quips back with a derogatory term.

Just saw in my Facebook feed that there is a petition online to have it removed from Apple and android stores.

Even after I disconnect the fenceline I'm working on, I still check it for current even though I know there isn't any on it.

One shock too many over the years:rolleyes:

about 2 years ago dad was trying to get a young dog to work on the hill and it wasn't working out, i was at the house and i heard the dog whimpering(about half a mile away) and i ran to plug put the fencer. the poor dog tried to run through a 3 strand electric fence but the choke chain got caught on it. i was lucky i recognised the whimpering beat\rhythm as that of the fencer

I'd catch the fence here, id still know it was on, but i can open it at corner posts if i need to move animals from one paddock to the next one.
My dad is so immune to it now, he'd as me to catch it to see if its on or not, as he cant feel it at all.
And yes, it is a very strong shock.

Can't feel a shock. That can't be good

Nephew here used to be the same when he was a young lad. Up to about 14 I'd say. Some craic the day he started feeling them. He didn't know whether he wanted a sh1t or a haircut.

On my third one of these.
Money well spent though.

No offence but imo people like ye and my OH are freaks :eek:

Mrs cockett · 24-03-2017 11:36PM

I have a horror of electric fences. Remember once I was standing one side of the fence looking in at the cows and calves. Had Alsatian pup with me, next the howling started and the idiot had bit the fence and still had it in his mouth. All the cows came running to see what was up. Poor fellow did not know what happened I think he thought the cows did it to him

Do you reckon the lorry below is overweight? I reckon it's close anyway.

Depends whether he had cattle in the truck or not.
But as was revealed this week, Gardai are prone to exaggeration when counting.....

He had no taco anyway so he was going to be in bother. But i think the guards need to looked into after all the carry on from last week. Some seem to be a law unto themselves

Nekarsulm · 25-03-2017 09:15AM

Their twitter account is just a PR exercise, and tries to inject a bit of humour into the story.
But there was no mention of the report from two weeks ago, where two guards were found in a station interview room with a bundle of breathalyzer kits, blowing into them themselves and pretending that they had conducted a roadside checkpoint !!

O'Sullivan will be doing well to hold on to her job they are just throwing more sh1te at her and it's sticking.
When ever kenny steps down his replacement will surly have to get rid of her

Both O'Sullivan and Francis FitzGerald.
Its funny how this practice (of vastly over-reporting drink driving checks) recently developed in all areas of the country simultaneously.

If it had been going on a few years ago, the "whistle blowers" would surely have known about it and made it public.

I don't think it will be as straight forward as that.
