No quitten we're whelan onto chitchat 12.

My uncle was a chain smoker up until the doctor told him he had the heart of a 65yo (he's 50). He quit on the spot after 40 years of smoking and hasn't smoked since. I'm massively impressed (and proud) with him

Going by your posting times you're pretty woke yourself, unless you're on nights or something?

If you're talking in code, is waking up different to woke? Are the woke supposed to wake up (more? again?) Or as language would suggest, are those who are waking up then woke, or maybe nearly woke? And which ones are the oddballs? Is time of day or night a factor?

Sounds like ye'd a goodnight anyway, had ye a bit of country music going? Maybe add a bonfire the next night and turn it in to a proper rally, get the numbers up and it could be the start of something great.

There was an election not so long ago, did ye not vote for people that would represent ye? Ye might get something going in time for the next one, although you'd rarely see single issue candidates get far.

There's often a lot of anti- dump posters anywhere there's a new one proposed, similarly anti- wind farm, anti- bioreactor, anti- phone masts etc but the thing about NIMBYism is that it's inherently self-limiting, and everywhere around, people just shrug their shoulders, thinks ye're dead right, but well... NIMBY!

Carrick was a rough town 10 years ago before refugees were housed there. Daughter went to gymnastics there for a while and my wife said it always had a horrible element of lads hanging round intimidating women and girls. Look at the fighting and trouble there was in the Oasis.

There’s a bunch of refugees over the road in Kingscourt and you’d hardly know they were in the town other than today they are out with the tidy town litter picking all the access roads, maybe the difference is the locals ??

i don't remember anyone being killed in the Oasis until your friends moved in? That case of the killing in the Oasis went very quiet when it turned out it was a fella new to the parish?

Honestly Brian, we are probably neighbours, I was in Kingscourt myself today. Fellas like you are beyond understanding and just oddballs standing against your own neighbours but nothing new in our history sadly. At least the lads in the past were getting paid for it, you I presume are doing it for free?

There are no houses to rent in Kingscourt for our own, yet every time I drive into the approach roads I see plenty of obviously foreign lads walking into the estates with their SuperValu shopping bags in the middle of the day to their government supplied housing, it's a disgrace and people are rightly annoyed.

"That case of the killing in the Oasis went very quiet when it turned out it was a fella new to the parish?"

I've noticed that too, the most recent one where 5 were involved - only one name mentioned in the news.

Probably cause of the amount of money he’s pumping into that club.

Plus that club is full of McEnaneys.

The tube in the pressure vessel is either under inflated or its leaking. Pump it up to 30psi and see if the pump stops kicking in and out. If it starts doing the same thing then the tube is leaking air

Turn off the pump and release all the water. Most pressure switches are set at 30/50 psi so pump tank to 28psi of air. If it’s not holding the air or if there’s water still in the tank after you empty it you’ll need a new tank.

well done. Great achievement

I got awful confused by the lads doing the relay- pace was unreal- a few had the Battons tucked and. I couldn’t figure it.

Another part that would mess with you was when people turned back and you running against them-

head would go down when in among the 10km walkers/runners and they gunning it past you- only a steward called me by name and said I was going solid for a full marathon and keep going.

Needed it then.
