    Anyone go to Grennans open days last week, I went Friday night, huge crowd and everyone got steak dinner.
    Simon Coveney opened the new pelleting plant on Thursday, massive amount of money spent on the upgrade.......great business to be able to do that and also subsidise the amount of fodder the way they did at the same time

    Awful pity it got grazed down early in the year and then never left the sheep in one place long enough for them to do that :D

    I thought the same about the price. Still, if there's a bit of lasting in them they'll work out cheap.

    Friend of mine at the age of four got a hammer for Christmas, spent a very productive 10 minutes Christmas morning "fixing" the head and tail lights on the parents car, all glass neatly removed. It was some show to see it outside the church.

    Reminds me of the story about the new wallpaper that my folks put in the hallway, back like 30yrs ago, with lots of supposedly lovely flowers printed on it! My sister who was about 4 at the time tore out aload of them ha, and brought them to my mum and said she had picked alot of flowers for her! The wall was painted instead just after that ha!

    I was up early 1 sunday morning when I was 3 or 4 and when my mother and father got up a hour or 2 later they noticed the 5 goldfish floating around in the tank, "what happened to the fish" they asked " Ooo I thought that they were thirsty so I gave them a bottle of 7up"! :D
