    Shure, you can watch young ones throw up any weekend, I'd say twenty minutes in A&E in O L of Lourdes would be an education any weekend, Biddy!

    My father spent 8 weeks there, (not in A&E !) and we found the staff just fantastic. But the conditions they have to endure are extreme.

    God be with the days when I was asked for id. They still did slow sets in the disco!! The only place I get asked for id now is the US which is a pain in the behind.

    Fcuking stray alstation dog killed all the fathers hens yesterday evening. Sheep just about to lamb just what I want. Checked the neighbours and doesn't appear to be theirs. We live near a wood where people go for walks. Never ceases to amaze me how people can let their dogs rain free especially a big dog like that.

    Yea... very frowned on round here to do anything only bare minimum farming/work today.. A balls of a day really, my youngest is in the Parade later with their Irish dancing school... But we'll be straight home afterwards, no time for drinking and drunks and hanging round the town..

    We've had some light rain showers here so far today and cloud building well..

    Got half our tank of slurry out on grazing ground Saturday... bring on the grass !!

    And right you are too...

    Round these parts you'd hear...
    If its a Catholic farmer - You'd think he'd know better, sher his grandfather and his father were the same

    If its a Protestant Farmer - Feckin Protestants, have to be seen out working on Paddy's day just to make a point..

    Impossible to win :rolleyes:

    When the Green Party were in power there was talk that slurry spreading would be banned at weekends. Your neighbour needs to get a life.
