Looked dead to me. Maybe he hit his head.

It's being repeated on sunday , so it's difficult to see why childrens programs are put on after 9pm

Ah, sure half the craic for the kids is the chance to stay up late. That’s as much a treat as anything...

Total disaster of a day here today, I've been waiting on a part I ordered for the last 10 day's that was supposed to be delivered in 2-4 working day's. I'm badly stuck for it and upon it's eventual delivery this morning it's not the right one and it will now be another week before I'm back up and running.

One of the terrier's belonging to the better half got hit by the post van and I don't think he'll make it tbh. She's beyond distraught as the dog's mean the world to her and I've always maintain she'd take my death better. We're awaiting news from the vet although he took me aside and told me the outlook wasn't good, I'm dreading the call as I know it won't be good news. I'm off checking the stock now and I'm afraid as to what I'll find with the way the day is going. I was doing a bit of fencing yesterday morning and a robin spent the entire time from branch to branch watching me from a few feet away and I took it to be a bad sign. I'm awaiting the third disaster of the day atm.

I like having a robin near hand. Hope your dog makes a good recovery

Whenever I see a robin watching me work I say to myself that’s Dad keeping an eye on me.

Albert Johnson · 28-11-2020 05:22PM

Thanks for the good wishes, there much appreciated. The vet rang me to say he didn't make it which I was expecting to hear tbh. I'm glad he's not suffering and he was always well looked after and doted on by her. She has other dogs and will come to terms with it in time.

It's strange but I've never associated robins with much positivity. Usually there close presence has coincided with bad news of some sort in my experience. Strangely other older family members have told me similar stories so I don't know if it's bias or what.

Ah Albert, sorry to hear that. Dogs are part of the family. Hopefully it will survive

Some second half from Waterford.

Unreal, they were possessed. I'd love to see them win the All Ireland.

Grueller · 28-11-2020 08:44PM

Liam Cahill must be some manager to have reined Austin Gleeson in and made a team player out of the ultimate individual.
At half time you felt that Waterford were every bit as good as Kilkenny or better but the missed chances, fumbles, overcarrying and general silly mistakes were costing them. Just didn't see that 3rd quarter coming.

Sugar fuelled kids here. Less hassle rounding up wild limos

Mac Taylor · 28-11-2020 09:11PM

Glad to see Kilkenny gone......I’ve a lot of respect for them just don’t like them:D. There very cynical and the use of the free hand is infuriating. hurling could do with the black card.

I actually thought the ref gave Kilkenny a lot of marginal calls in the first half.

For a championship that was played off in a rush and kinda 'let's get this over with' attitude, the matches have been brilliant. What would tonight have been like with a crowd present?
Will Cody go now? Thought he looked frail tonight.

To me it shows the disdain for the ordinary club player. They could run the championship in 10 weeks every year and allow some clarity for the club players in scheduling a proper club championship window.

That and the little lad who had brittle bones. God love them. The money raised was a good change from the the usual thing of everyone at the show looking for a load of freebies.

I thought the show was great. More enjoyable than usual amd the level of talent shown by the kids was amazing.

Staggering to see the vitriol online there. Ow against the toy show, people giving out that it was just a covid promotion platform amd brainwashing us to vaccines. Sad people can’t just leave the toy show just be sure it is without trying to politicise it.

Raising the money instead of giving away a load of free crap was great too.

I love that it’s wonderful that it’s abkut showcasing great kids not rather than a commercial advertisement for Smyth’s toys.

The munster teams are fresher this year seeing as its knockout. More level playing field for kilkenny.

Lime Tree Farm · 28-11-2020 10:35PM

Only time I see robins hanging around is when I'm gardening, they are clever enough to know that I will be unearthing juicy critters for them to feast on.

Wouldn't have mattered to Kilkenny of the noughties. Kilkenny haven't had Leinster yhat easybthe last few years with Galway swimming in their waters, Wexford slightly resurgent and an occasional gallop from Dublin.

Galway entering Leinster definitely helped to level things a bit alright and really helped galway too.
