    Tbh, I don't know what to do with him. I'm afraid to move him in case the adults come back and afraid to leave him in case the cats or the crows kill him.

    Fire brigade are just outside here. Bales caught fire in the field. Was some shock to see the massive cloud of smoke and the fire engines when I got back. Horrible smell off it to.

    Long ladder and throw him back into the nest, or feed him with bits of mince or something, if you need a pet crow.......

    I'm close enough to a zoo as it is with the young lady looking for a pony and the youngest looking for a rat without a tail. Or a hamster failing that.

    I'll see tomorrow.

    But if anyone wants a pet, PM me.

    I only skimmed through this article but it reports that CAP payments account for 73% of UK farm incomes.
    Jesus they are really throwing allot away, is there really any belief that they will be able to sustain agriculture in a meaningful way after Brexit.

    I'm not sure. I'll try find out today. They are taking away the burnt bales at the minute with a digger.

    I'd have thought it would take quite the effort to burn wrapped bales, couldn't see it being an accident.

    Dropping their all star corner back and former young hurler of the year for disciplinary reasons?

    Did he do the usual and have a feed of porter after the Cork game or what?

    Well, if you read the Farmers Weekly in the months before the Brexit vote, practically every farmer they interviewed ( or at least, published) were gung ho for Brexit.
    From the largest arable estate to the Co. Council smallholder, the agenda was "get out of Europe, and the UK government will make up the difference".

    Well that would be more a fact, read the last couple of pages on the Tipp thread in gaa forum.

    Truth is they bet an ailing KK team last yr and let it go to their heads. If they kept head down and arse out they would have won a few back to back. Long year yet tho. Hunger is got from defeat so maybe thats gone. No one man bigger than the team. Better off losing a finger than poisioning yourself to death.

    I'd agree re kk, Galway were the team to beat last year and they just scraped past them, would probably have lost the semi if canning and tuohy hadn't gone off injured. They might lose more than the one finger though.

    These things generally go either one way or the other. Massive upheaval and performance drops off a cliff or it has a galvanising effect and they come back stronger.
