    About a month ago a lad rang oh asking him to do a run for him in the lorry, it'd be a year or so since he'd done anything for him. Oh told him not atm. Your man says, yes I heard you weren't well and was wondering how bad it is. Like wtf. He's on my list of bolloxes

    As the saying goes there is nothing a queer as folk.

    My brother passed away last year and there is a neighbour who hasn't really spoken to me right since. I can see by him that he is awkward any time he meets me (I would be talking to him at least once a werk before that) I do kinda feel sorry for him. I wouldn't be great in similar situations myself, as you would be afraid of saying the wrong thing.

    Have a neighbour here I know since playa

    school and he has a touch of autism or something along those lines. He was one of the first fellas to ring me about 8am after my mother passed from cancer during the night before. He was awkward out on the phone as usual and finished up by saying how a well known farmer in the area passed from cancer in the previous week too and that he was riddled with it they opened him up rotted with cancer nothing they could do with it anyway good luck. The last thing I wanted to be hearing at the time however I can laugh a bit at it these days.

    Better living everyone

    I've two locals on my bollox list from the time my Uncle died, anyway they are stories for another day. The neighbour that looked after the cattle is the one that I posted about that had a stroke two years ago. He is in full time care in a nursing home and unfortunately only one of the neighbours goes to visit him. His speech was badly affected and it's difficult at times to understand what he is saying. Most of the other neighbours are also older batchelor men that possibly don't want to see one of their own age group in that situation or have the confidence to visit him even though we have offered to accompany them.

    OH is more zoned in than I am and can get the jest of what he is saying which he repeats back to him so that they are both on the same wavelength, iykwim.

    Had a bachelor neighbour here that was fair quick on the tongue, got a stroke and it used to drive him silly being able to think of something witty but struggling bad to say it. Have a sister that couldn't face our dad in his last year and a half, he used to get turns, I take am as I find them.

    A neighbouring family that kind of had their own language had a house station one spring, when the priest was halfway through his egg the mother says, there's multi the best farmer in the parish, every weekend he seduce's nine or ten cows, the poor priest nearly choked laughing.

    You’d be afraid to touch the phone watching it.

    Thanks for the link, I'd a look see for a while. I'm not in that scene but would I be correct in saying that, while its a roaring trade, prices aren't as inflated above normal as regular stock?

    I joined when they were selling those 4 high cost heifers.

    The others aren't too bad, but still punchy. You can get a few around the 4k mark.

    I'm still not sure about calving those big ended heifers. It works for some folk though.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,383 ✭✭✭✭patsy_mccabe


    I reckon they'll break the £1 million mark. They won't be far off it anyway. There's 246 cattle on the catalogue.

    When I went to bed last night I was thinking of the above posts about illness, death etc.

    I posted something similar on F&F about five years ago:

    Do the good deed for yourself, your husband/partner and children and make one of the most important and straight forward legal decisions that you can whilst your alive - Go to your solicitor and make a Will, especially if ye have young ones.

    Don't think about it - do it.

    You can always change it as your family circumstances change.

    As a Meath man I am happy this evening...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,465 ✭✭✭Tileman


    great that Dublin were knocked out. It makes it interesting and at least Meath or Louth have a chance to win a bit of silver ware this year.
    plenty of media coverage of Meath rolling the bar over the line coming up.

    Louth and Liverpool fan. Good day for us. Would have loved to have been in anfield today. Saw none of the game



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,411 ✭✭✭tanko


    Joe the throw Sheridan played for Cavan over 40’s last year, maybe Meath will bring him back for the Leinster final. I’d say Martin Sludden will be the referee again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,671 ✭✭✭✭whelan2


    Was a bad move to bring cluxton back for this 1 game



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,686 ✭✭✭Anto_Meath

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,686 ✭✭✭Anto_Meath

    We had the worst nurse ever this evening, his shift started at 8, they did handover. Oh due morphine at 8.15, it was 10pm when he got it. The nurse was on his phone on Facebook, I went up twice as drip was empty and he was due meds. Even when he came into do obs he scrolled his phone whilst waiting for the machine to do it's stuff. Never saw anything like it

    Thats not the standard of care people deserve when they need it most.
    Will you make a complaint?
