They said on the radio yesterday that it was the largest attendance for any event so far this year in all of Europe. Crazy!

Tell me there isn't something immensely satisfying about this, even for a Big Smoke person such as yourself:

That's fair enough. Personally I love diggers - the Cork Summer Show this year had more diggers per capita than Wexford. :pac:

Wait. Which free market is this Paddy?
The one where I can open an abattoir and processing plant in the garage of my 3-bed semi tomorrow morning by sticking a 'Cattle Wanted' sign on the lawn with apologies to nobody?

It's plain to anyone that there is nothing free about a market where a small number of buyers collude to ensure they get a low buying price from many sellers.

It's a natural backlash following the laws of economics, that was probably actually long overdue.

A truly excellent way to get seven shades of shite belted out of you in the middle of the night, these days! :pac:

If your planning on opening a victuallers from your garage make sure you install a decent cool room for hanging your meat off and watch out for wasps, they are a bastard at this time of year.

Make sure everyone around is on for it, meat fúcking stinks pal, there is a reason why most butchers are down the town like. Stinking of raw meat.

While I am asking are youse getting decent cuts down in Carlow? I heard that the bullocks over Mount Leinster are far nicer, but the fella that told me is full of shight and charges woshious prices for beef, although he has some smashing lamb around spring time so I like to keep him sweet, I am good like that. Even though he is an awful spoofer altogether, the type of mincer that listens to Guns N Roses on a tape cassette in his Ford Granada. You wouldn't trust him with your sister like, not even for a couple of hours, in fact I have often wondered if he shifted her at Patsy's barn dance last summer, she didn't get home for half the night and she lost her jacket and had to call back for it a few days later, she was gone a while then as well come to think of it. She probably was shifting him.

I couldn't tell you who shifted your sister, I didn't although I do like Granadas. Mk. Is 'specially, not so much Mk. IIs. Anyway, the point is there's fellas in Tipp and Wexford doing Wagyu cattle breeds, the meat is supposed to be only mighty altogether.

IAMAMORON · 18-09-2019 04:29PM

They would want to be feeding those Wagyu's with the best of Japanese feed though. I would be telling them to ask at lidl for the special counter sushi , just to fatten the foookers like. That Cairn beach spinach is no use and local Irish breds won't touch for love no money.

Talking of Jap imports I know a fella looking to drop a 2003 Honda Insignia with a sunroof if you know of anyone. It smells pretty cat inside, he was using it as a greenhouse to grow cannabis plants all summer, but she has some engine on her, I drove it as far as Swansea with a Swedish tourist a couple of summers ago, she was handy enough, the gearbox that is, the Swedish tourist got a bit fussy with me cause I wouldn't fork out for a BnB and flatly refused to sleep in the back of the Insignia, it was high summer and comfy enough once you let down the seats ( 5 door ), I ended up having to get a Hotel near Fishguard, she was savage in the sack though.

If you get someone to buy that I've got some ocean front property in Athlone for you. From the front porch you can see the sea.

Woke Hogan · 18-09-2019 04:52PM

It's no wonder the "Dubs" won five in a row. They've had so much financial doping they'll be playing as the Dublin Red Bulls next summer.

Are you sure your not talking about the river Shannon, ya chancer ya. Yaboya , ya fooooking hoooer ya?

What side of Athlone are ye, Irmhí, Leitrim or Roscommon?

The Shannon always brings back fond memories for me, I can remember wearing the face of a camogie player from Rooskey, she was on a hen night in Carrick and started groping me on the dancefloor, all over my body. She came in from behind and cupped her arms around my waste when they were playing Black Betty just after midnight. She was reafing the arse of me and kept on trying to grab the front of my trousers, it got heavy like. I turned around and started dancing with her first, I was fairly pissed I had been on the Cider all day and I have been burping these really pukey burbs for a good hour. She must have been foooking hammered however cause she din't notice and half way through the summer of 69 she stated shifting me whether I liked it or not.

We ended up down on the pier and in one of those Emerald Isle cruiser ships, I was gone like a Bat out of hell once she shut up and fell asleep. I ran up the town and got the last dinner box, I was only staving. I can't remember her name.

"ploughing 2k19"

Lads roaming around with gilet jackets and the color tucked up and a pair of workpants to think they're great

"how ya now", "now a bad aul day"

Oh hit the diff and pray that she goes all the way

Young lads driving tractors during the summer with the aul earpiece on, thinking they're the bees knees

It’s actually a good day out, even if you aren’t a farmer, son of the soil, or exhibitor looking to make sales.

Another “record” was broken there at the weekend.

The one where the Dubs won the five in a row!!
