    Don't know. Just no buyers I'd say.

    If there was no money in it, would guys still be at it?

    In a previous career I used to work on contract with Irish Rail. I was involved in a clean up on the outskirts of Limerick city where the fine young men of Moyross tied quite a large horse across the track infront of the late night passenger train from Ennis. You can imagine what the 200 ton Iron Lady did. She was hitting about 60mph and the spat from the impact was so great that it hit several local houses and the blood dripping off them was clearly visible the next morning. The 4 hooves remained tied to the rail splash plates but the rest of it was just mince!

    The driver got such a fright. He couldn't stop because the train would have been hijacked and set on fire. He didn't work for weeks after it! There are some very sick batsards out there!

    I think a good way forward in the marrige would be to forget about who either of us were ever with ;) I wonder would it be a turn on to see the wife getting chatted up ? I believe some lads like it :D

    I always find that if one is looking at the ceiling in a pub, it's time to move on:D

    'Pint a pub' is the way to go ;) Saves listening to too much sh*t! :pac:

    On the point of fine feeds, got what could be only described as a bucket of porridge in O'Grady's in Gort one morning and all for €3-€3.50 I think.... good healthy alternative to the full irish.

    I likes me grub and always thought a tread with recommendations of good places to eat would be a good one to start. Worse thing ever is hitting a sh*th*le when on the road and you could eat a horse or a 'scabby babby'!! :pac:
