    Any of ye here read that Roundup is being attributed as a cause of Parkinsons?

    along with every other farm chemical. the cause of bad backs could be attributed to pulling weeds also :rolleyes:

    come on the Banner

    I'd fancy the Banner in the final - though one always has to be wary of a Cork team under JBM. Ye have the skill and drive thats for shure. First touch and point taking has improved beyond all recognition since the Munster Semi. You could also say that Cork were lucky enough against Dublin in many aspects the last day.

    It could be attributed to some thing else that we are in close proximity off or some air pollution or or or.

    Due to the chemical, or due to not wearing the proper protective clothing etc? I'd prefer to lay money on the latter.

    Something to do with Glyphosate. I'd agree with you about it being majorly attributed to lack of protective clothing but it wasn't all that widely used 15 years ago.

    Kovu roundup has been in widespread use for far longer than that. The generics were in widespread use 15 years ago, in fact I can't remember when we last used "Roundup" TBH. 15 years ago GM corn was in it's third season in general use. Some of those microbiology papers aren't worth the paper they're written on. I showed another paper on glyphosate to the sister a few years ago about the effects of it on pregnancy, her response was if you gave the foetuses that level of folic acid you'd have detrimental effects as well and folic acid is what women who are in the early stages of pregnancy are encouraged to take to combat foetal abnormalities.

    Whoops, just picked a number out of the air regarding the use of it. It was just something that I thought was interesting.

    Im sure there are plenty of people in their sixties at it but Browne looks like a boyo . I doubt he is paying workers and dogging himself at the same time. Anyone on here know anything of him ?

    Sure he owns the place I doubt the workers would want to be on the telly talking about his line out.Id say he was only showing the cameras what goes on at this hour of his life.

    was it much of a game lads? busy so didnt get a chance to watch it thankfully:D, wasnt expecting much anyway

    I enjoyed the game. It went much like I thought it would, (except I didn't think Lim would be as wasteful) I enjoy the tactical element Davy brings to the game and the sense of madness he brings. They had some powerful displays up the middle in particular no.3 no.11 and midfield.
    I hope Clare can go the whole way now.

    Just back from Croker. Great win. Felt sorry for Hannon. I think the occasion got to him and others on the Limerick team. Clare set up nicely now. Cork will be favourites, I'm sure.
