No quitten we're whelan on to chitchat 11

I was going to suggest sticking a match to it if it was dry enough and working with the regrowth. But then sensibilities kicked in and I'd be attacked from every vegan, every PhD, every drone operator now looking for the shill.

Irish ag twitter isn’t a big loss going by what I’m seeing recommended to me. Ohh, look at me I’m flat out calving and I need caffeine to stay going, see picture of said calves and caffeinated beverages.

There is one lad on it I know of and if you were to go by what he posts you would think he is an award winning farmer. If you stood in his yard (its actually his dads) you wouldn't think it was the same lad as on twitter. Its as untidy a place I was ever in, scrap machinery all around the place, rotten bales of silage from over the years in lumps in the paddocks around the yard and the muck everywhere, you need waders if entering. His photos don't show any of that, nor do they ever show him doing any work. His dad is a hard goer, from dawn to dusk, but the twitter poster might appear in the yard around noon, yawning and he be gone before tea time after giving out to the father for not doing all the jobs. Anyone who works around the yard hates seeing this lad as he is always giving out about something, so if they can they call early in the morning when they know he is still in bed.

@whelan2 O I know that, I do laugh at your man when I see his posts on twitter & I would guess when the father stops working the place will probably rented to the gate.

Hasnt been said as far as im aware in the media yet however my uncle was contacted by the gardai as a certain GAA superstar text him asking him if he knew anyone capable of sending him a donation to fund treatment for cancer in the states. He doesnt have cancer, i heard during the week the cancer story started out 30 years ago and looks like its still going on he does have some sort of sickness/illness like his sister and possibly another brother of his too. I remember him well growing up (same club) the nicest most down to earth fella you would meet its mad to think the positive impact he has had on countless youngsters across the country and then this all comes out. Theres plenty of stories going around these parts since it started to break locally in the past few weeks about his living conditions etc and you would feel bad for him upon hearing it had this new scandal not broke. The man hasnt a bob to his name however i saw him in town before Christmas and he was driving a 222 reg jeep.

Theres a hell of a lot to be said for being able to go out and do a days work, that man couldnt do anything but hurl so he was f#cked when his county days were over. Too many pats on the back growing up and in fairness in St Kierans College (also a past pupil) if youre handy at hurling you can do what ye like in there and youll get on reasonably good. There was probably no career guidance back then either when he was there and the teachers at the time probably figured it would all fall into place for him as he was a superstar on the pitch.

Jeez, as a big hurling fan myself, I was really saddened to hear it. It's a problem through out the GAA though. Anyone that's any way showing some talent at underage is treated like a demigod. I seen it here locally. They don't exactly grow up to be well rounded individuals.

No Irish court will look at them so what's the point

Get a scanner and scan everything you send to people. Has served me well in the past.

When I opened an Ulster Bank account, the lady noted my address saying it was the second time that day that she had come across it and naming my neighbour. I did say it to her that it was inappropriate information. Later that day when I met him I was tempted to say I heard you were turned down for a loan today.
