No quitten we're whelan on to chitchat 11

@wrangler I ll take offence to that... as I know I am not rich... as for the thick bit I ll let others decide... Maybe I am am, as trying to be a part time farmer at the minute isn't easy.. but the thickness in me will probably keep me at it...

That's an old joke about meath farmers, I was at a wedding in meath fifty years ago where the rector said in his speech that the family were the cream of the country etc etc so the joke is that old

Clear test this morning thankfully

I heard someone say being Smart does not mean being Intelligent. And being Intelligent only means you can be Intelligent in one way as there's different types of Intelligence.

I wasn't sure if he was being Smart or Intelligent with that so put it down to being Wise.

Only one real auld fella working on site with us hed be 60 plus then one fella in his 50s and three in there 40s out of a team of 30 the rest of us are under 40 with a good few of us under 30 aswell even. Today when the real auld fella knocks off at 1630 most of us will stay going till 1800 after being here since 0700 this morning, the auld fella clocking in at 8. Looks to me the younger generation are carrying this job from what i can see. Its on the road for 0530 here with me every morning and usually 1900-1930 ubtil im back moat evenings. N

All playing anyway hard for any of us to be winning with the way the countrys being ran. Im definitly not winning, 4 years back working in the country this month and im not entitled to the PRSI benefits, ive paid €300 in tax most weeks this year so far an awful lot to be paying into a pot that i get nothing out of. Not to mention delays n getting qualified which is leaving me out of pocket all due to bad management and organisation from pen pushers working for government agencies, if they had to suffer the same % on their loss of earnings as the delayed apprentices they wouldnt be long getting it back on track. Tis no wonder most of us with no major committments to here are going to be getting on a plane out of here next year.

Landed home in April 2020, government imposed lockdowns meant i wasnt allowed start the job i had lined up. Had a job to get home, government were of no assistance whatsoever and i wasnt entitled to any assistance when i did get home. Door was left wide open for two years here and plenty of assistance provided to the new arrivals who landed here. That prick varadkar even had the cheek a few years back to say he was all about the people that get up early in the morning, hes helped create a reliance on social welfare before he packed it in.

And climb in the window when you've them off?🤔

Seriously that's always my q about outside wellie stands, how to get in and out of them with dry feet.

You could put it inside or leave your slippers upside down on it while you're wearing the wellies.

Wash them...

The woman is simply telling ye lads, not to be bringing yere muddy boots into the house. Whelan is being too subtle, with the message😁

Most dairy farmers don't get dirty wellies in any case.

Moccasin's are more than adequate around the yard

That was some finish to the Chelsea Manchester United game, worth staying up for

Re the wellies hanger, - a couple of observations:

1. You have plenty grown up help there, or else like me you've two sets of wellingtons. Kids ones could be accommodated in pony/donkey shoes.

2. In my case, I never remove the Swampmaster rain pants from the wellies, - when it dries up enough to not need them, I use hiking boots.

3. I've a car port roof between the house and the garage so Crocs transfer me to the garage and wellies, sh1tty rain pants and wet jackets remain there along with wet beanie hats up on the oil boiler. It's the saving of my marriage.
