    I was going to say did he do a degree in QS before the accountancy. That's like a stunt a QS i know would always pull. For every 44 blocks per bale laid he would deduct the 4 in wastage!!

    47kg of rock salt got for the ladies. That should do them til Spring anyway!
    Also got chicken wire to fence off our GLAS trees, frigging hares have half of them eaten so have to replant a good lot.

    Average 14000 per day. Never track my steps running and also run about 30 to 40 miles per week at the moment. That will probably increase up to close on 50 by spring.

    Have you something in the pipeline for Spring.....running wise? 50m a week is a lot, even for marathon training!

    Maybe Reggie....and time will tell I suppose. However, it makes me laugh when I say to someone that I ran x number of miles and the response is...'ooh, that's very bad for your joints...' The same people wouldn't walk up the stairs for you and are likely to have a lot more health issues because of lack of exercise than too much of it.

    True but I have relatives that run a lot of marathons and the likes. Suffer from problems with thier knees and hips but keep going. It's a thing if they stop they won't get going again I reckon. Like everything...its grand in moderation but some lads are built for long distance running no question

    That's true and maybe some are luckier than others. Long distance running is definitely hard going and, as you say,
    if you stop at all it can be hard to get going again. But after a day or so, aside from sore muscles, you are normally fine again.

    Walking down stairs the day after a marathon can be a sight to behold though!!:D

    White emulsion paint supposed to deter hares too. Painted on the bottom of the saplings.
    Nothing like a physical barrier though I'd think.

    Ah now, I'd definitely be carted off to the madhouse if I started painting saplings! Sure it's better to do a job right first time and can always move the wire when they're big enough :)

    I spent a few years working against QS and a few years with QS. Some difference

    But your man though he was throwing the saddle and feck that. He was paid the price it was agreed less e100. A lot of other lads would have told him to F off and never paid him

    Cut some sections of yellow drainage pipe and slip them over each sapling.

    If you did 50 tomorrow, you'd only have 400 left. Just codding.

    Did you ever get checked out that you are running properly? Someone was telling me they weren't running properly at all causing pressure on their joints

    was down in Kerry at a match Saturday, drove through the ballaghisheen pass, fabulous drive not a pothole to be seen credit to the Kerry crowd they know how to keep the place well. Never seen a football pitch as bad as the one they played on though stumps of rushes everywhere and no water in the toilets or showers....but the munster council lad made sure everyone paid going in though
