Oh dear and holy God above.
Send me down your infinite love.
A humble beef farmer I may be,
Unblessed by milk cheque monthily.

Seeing the providence of Say My Name,
I invoke you to deliver same.

Speaking of vehicles, my parked van was hit by an NI driver today. Very apologetic and she wanted to sort it privately, but refused to give insurance details "God knows where they are".

Got my quote of a decent very straight lad who does paint work and panel beating, a very fair quote for the damage done. I just want my van protected nd not rusting, not out to screw anyone, particularly when she came to the door. Rang her and she went on the attack right away, too expensive and she's going to ring her insurance company when she's back up North tomorrow.

Well middle finger to that. I had my own insurance company rang after it happened and the Gardai notified, and I've since followed up with the boys in blue who are calling her. I was very happy to have it sorted privately, no ones insurance needs to go up etc. She can deal with companies and uniforms now.

Why are people like this, ffs.

It's always the same.

Folks had their parked car hit by a provisional driver years ago.
Girl in her early twenties got out and bawling her eyes out and that she'd sort it herself without going through insurance.
Folks big eejits they were took her for her word.
It must have been nearly a year later with bills from the garage and calls from the folks not being answered before it was settled.

Always always always get the insurance details and go that way.

In the heat of the moment they're all sorry.
But when they get home all the excuses start.

Thing is, she claimed she didn't know the details and NI vehicles don't display them like we do. I asked at the time, and again later over the phone. Cops got back to me since, no harm in them having rung her, we'll see what happens. Half my day wasted on sh1te I wasn't even there for.

Thanks.

It came equipped with it's own driving prayer as well.
The proddies here are scratching their heads on that one.

I'll leave it in the boot.

Their only option is to close them if you want the problem dealt with.
You should be careful what you wish for

Imports of grain that keep the price of Irish grain low, while the likes of Jameson sell “Irish” whiskey using non-Irish grains to increase profits but don’t tell customers.

Globalisation and cheap transportation have a lot to answer for

I see where France is withdrawing their blanket ban on Neonics after their sugarbeet crop suffered huge losses.

Grain being imported instead of using Irish grain, reducing prices paid to Irish farmers afaik

Yeah, I was following a twitter thread over the last few months about it in the UK and a few links to the rest of Europe.

Some of the abuse directed to farmers was unreal.

In beet it’s aphids spreading virus yellows making sugar beet go the same way. The bees the dosgy data decided to protect are fooked anyway as a major food source early in the season is gone now.

Its like going to be like this until the next big crisis causes hyper food inflation, I can’t wait! Veganism humanising farm animals, meanwhile fruit and veg is where the nasty stuff happens regarding likes of indentured labour and practices in growing the stuff.
