    Tullamore is ok for sheep, would be more cattle orientated. Probably on of the bigget ones for sheep is bonniconlon, there was a lot of sheep there this year

    That wouldn't be a million miles from me, will note it down. Are all breeds catered for? Or just a lot of some?

    Safer catching her than raiding some yard on the Armagh border. Huge crowd of then at the Monday night sheep mart a few weeks ago. Customs, Gardai and Social Welfare inspectors.

    Not to be bad Whelan but I find it hard to have any sympathy, the law is the law and everyone else is paying for the right stuff.

    Speed van has a great spot parked in the gate way on that corner on the good road, can't see it from either direction until on top of it.

    Speed van near us used park on main road could be seen for miles so smart ass decided to pull into a disused entrance as he though. Old lad coming home one night late drove in the side of it going into his own house by the back entrance.:D:D:D

    I wouldn't be a bit surprised. The lad I brought down to the ploughing would have tipped a box of black screws in it if he had them lol.
