What age is the young lad? I remember our teacher making a throwaway remark to us in 4th class... 'but none of ye still believe in Santa I presume' I nearly went into shock!

He's 12, was hoping to get one last year out of it.

That's a subject best not discussed here or online.
He's still real no matter about what some people say.

Surprised he believed until he was 12, we dragged it out a few years after knowing, We found the pressies and said nothing.
Parents finally told us before we went off to boarding school

Anyone short of electricity this evening? Led lights in the house are the only thing getting enough power to work

Ya, crazy times and not that long ago. 15,000 British troops in Ireland in 1845. That was increased to 29,000 in 1847 to quell any threat of a revolution. One of the Rothschield bankers gave a million pounds to help out. Even native Americans sent money. It was worldwide news at the time. That Travelyn was some bollocks ......

I see a a few people on Twitter trying to use peoples emotions about the famine to turn them against any form of cattle farming.

Well at least that's how I view their comments.

The fight against farming is plying right into the corporate world of false food production. This is no accident, amd no revolution by vegans. This is a carefully orchestrated push to control food supplies, amd beating down on farmers is very much part of that.

Move land into vast tracts of monoculture tended by automated equipment producing commodities that mega corporations turn into false foods to supply the idiots who faught against farmers producing actual food.

And yet it was the vegetarian food option that failed, not the animal based one...

You were right.
Lack of any elected position is creating a situation where that person feels like they aren’t being heard enough so they tweet out silly stuff just to get a reaction. Best ignored.

I had to go and look, and one of the first mentions of cattle and famine in a search is from an unelected person I have muted. Twitter is a nicer place with good use of the mute button.

What's that poem of the author keeping Kerry cattle and they looking across the valley at their neighbours herd of Jerseys and being a bit envious?

I read it in secondary school but for the life of me I don't know the author or poem.

This is going to be a tough one.

Google says it could be a poem called "The Black Stripper" .
I don't think it's in text online or the author given.
Or it could even be As Gealige.

Anyways moving on..:pac:

Edit: I'm sure it was an Irish poem. As above..

My sister did it- walked 500000 steps. Big effort from her. She did a great job. Sponsored her but didn’t sign up to see it.

I didn’t do Movember- I’d go mad with facial hair.
