    If you own land you get the argicultural value and nothing more. Certainly not the land values you might get from developers in the last few years.

    If this guy got €1.8m in a CPO it's a lot of land gone from his family forever. And there is a fair chance his farm got spit in two

    i dont think it anything to do with him being a farmer

    Its more to do with him being a cunt

    A cunt eh? :mad:
    Do you own land that was CPO'ed by the council? Do you even know what you are taking about over there near Athlone?
    The second post on this thread was about begrudery and yet that's how I see your post

    True

    Disappointing, do you mind if the council demolishes your house, buys your land for a minimal value and builds a motorway?
    I know it's in the greater good but then do you mind people on boards calling you a cunt?

    No excuse for not paying your bills! In farming you rely a lot on credit so if you get a reputation for bouncing cheques you're in trouble with your neighbours

    My uncle lost a lot of land in a CPO. I'm sorry if it happened to you, wasn't trying to take a pot shot at it.

    yeah i had a similar experience with some people when i was in college in UCD, they always gave me that "oh you think you're so great" look.

    small town attitude tbh, afraid you might show them up.

    Have to say got that myself, particularly after my friends dropped out-they seemed to hold a bit of a chip on their shoulder. C'est la vie I guess.

    No issue with you Segaboy.
    Someone who does not pay their bills on time is a lowlife.

    This thread was about begrudgers and then some posters chip in that many farmers are millionaires. Certainly not the case and CPO isn't a goldmine!

    I was aiming more at people who employ contractors and fail to pay on time. If you're self-employed that can ruin your business. And end it!

    I dont think ESB or Bord Gais will lay off staff if you pay a bit late ;)

    Thanks I understand it is a balls. Agri value is very low and they always try and skank a lower value than what Agri's actually worth if they can. Pretty annoying when people know the level of fiddling that can go on with these budgets for new roads :rolleyes:

    *look at me begrudging the council* :pac:

    And if you oppose the CPO and lose (and you WILL lose :() you pay legal costs to the council

    Just can't fight the system I suppose

    Def not, my house was marked on a new route, they intentionally kept everyone in the dark and really acted the b*llox, suppose in their eyes it's only a few people can railroad them.

    Got lucky in the end the route was changed.

    Anyway back on topic :)

    Is it wrong that I'm afraid to buy expensive shoes because of begrudgers?

    You always get the one that HAS to make a comment

    The Irish are the biggest begrudgers on earth. I thought the English were moany holes but they've nothing on the Irish. When I first moved here I assumed it was just the kids (I got loads of 'oh it's nice to be you, isn't it? comments because my family went to New York one Easter) but no, the fecking adults are worse. Nobody can just be happy for anyone else.

Even if you went to shoe zone or whatever its called now an bought the cheapest mankiest shoes known to man, some fukcer would still make some comment.

    Yes. You shouldn't give a sh1t. I find not paying any attention/letting it go over your head/not reading into things works. I also have to say I'm not seeing much evidence of this mass begrudgery we're apparently so prone to in this country - just the usual amount, that you'd get anywhere.

    One of my mates at work is (actually was) a begrudger.. He was jealous about avery single gadget I bough/got/won - whatever. A new camera, iPod, new laptop - even bloody PS3 game I bough on a day of release rather than wait and get it 2nd hand... At some stage I got tired of his remarks about "mmm, doing well" and "uu, no recession in the household I see?" and said to him: "I'm not gonna apologise that you lazy pr1ck can't afford 90% of gear I buy, so do me a favour and f**k off with your stupid comments"

    I know it was rude... We are still good mates, but he doesn't seem to pay attention on the stuff I buy anymore.

    I'm assuming that it worked.

    I called a guy that actively wont pay his bills when he clearly can afford to a cunt and you are rather upset with me, yet you call him a lowlife.. is a low life a lesser form of cuntishness :confused::pac:

    And yes, we have land and we have had some of it taken off us by cpo in the 80's when the athlone by pass was built.

    Some people are just bitter, cynical and like to put others down to make themselves feel better.
    It's not a good way to be.

    It's unsurprising that people have become worse, considering the recession - it's all too easy to pick on the more fortunate people who are getting new houses, cars, going on holiday etc.

    I think a lot of people find it hard to be happy for others who are in a better position than them, which ends up translating into jealousy.

    I think begrudgery is an international thing. The Dutch are the embodiment of 'keeping up with the Jones'

    I own a horse so I'm always getting 'The recession doesn't effect me' comments because of it.

    True I own her, I've owned her since long before the recession started, I pay out 320 a month (Used to pay 500 a month before recession) for her to keep her at a riding stables (still very cheap even in this environment!).

    What these people who say that don't seem to realise, that I havn't gone to the doctor in months despite a lot of health problems, because I have to pay for her. I havn't bough any new clothes in ages because of her, and I've had to stop going out because of her. My dad had to sell his car to pay off his bills and to help me along with her monthly payments and lidl is my best friend hahaha!

    It's like shut up haha, and if anyone suggests the glue factory .........:pac:
    Rather keep her than give her up just because of a bit of money issues.
