I was working in Dublin at the time. Sales rep had just called in to see me. I woner will we ever get to the bottom of what really happened there. 15 of the 19 hijackers were from Saudia Arabia and they invade Afghanistan. :rolleyes:
My brother was living in California and when the news broke he was in a Doctors waiting room. Everyone left, so he was next in line.

He figured he was so used to hearing about bombs and all that with the troubles in the North, that it didnt bother him that much.

Can be all down to a tiny decision too

Made it back for the CoCo inspection. Two females arrive. I asked why am I being inspected again as its not long since my last one.

They asked when last one was, then told me that they shouldn't be there as my name should have been removed from the list. Said they were too busy to be messed around by whomever compiles the list, got back into the car and left. Not one word about how busy or otherwise I may be.

Honestly no consideration

This lad is near Armagh was drawing "made" silage into his new silage pit from a few pits he had rented a few miles away. 2 artics drawing it in. we hadn't this one ready until now. He is going to throw about another 150 acres of 2nd cut fresh grass over it to seal it properly.
