It's not your fault the roads aren't built the right way round

Anyone get into the Vikings series? I bought the box set of series 1 and 2 in the Sales after Xmas. I'm finished it over a week now. It was excellent. I may buy series 3 now!

Yeah - big fan here. Much of it is filmed on the lake just down the road from where I work during the week in Blessington. Got to meet Ragnars wife on set - a real hollywood gal but friendly all the same. Not bad lookin eithier!!;)

PS: Twas a boom too for local farmers. One fella was getting 1000 euro a day for letting out one field to the film crew over many weeks!!

Was a massive addition to Ashford and the surrounding areas aswell , tens of locals are employed during the filming.

Should a cows details be updated automatically/quickly if she was registered with the wrong sire?
Just wondering because I only noticed that one of the cows we tagged at the start of the BGS is still down as an aubrac instead of a lim. (NAV instead of NVI when registering her) and her ssample was received by them on 14-JUL-14, yet she's still stuck as ''GENOTYPE BEING EVALUATED'' :rolleyes:

The cows that were tagged for genotyping in 2014 here are still down as not genotyped. If you ring ICBF I'd say they'll change that wrong sire over the phone, they did that for me for a few cows last year.

My 2014 results are updated and one of my cows had her sire changed dropping €57 on the index because of it.

I checked the AI docket and I had her registered to the bull on it but genotyping showed it was wrong.

Ye this is the ones done in 2014, she's the only one with nothing updated. Others have 'SIRE VERIFIED' next to them. I'll give the a shout later on. Wonder if that's why she dropped from 5 stars to two?

NAV is 5* across breeds but NVI is only 2* for maternal so that might explain it.

They still don't have her sire changed to NVI on ICBF though, I'll ring them later on to see what the story is.

Some difference between County Council officers and inspections around the country.
We put in a lined lagoon eight/nine years ago. Planning permission was got, it was approved by the Dept and grant aided. To this day other than the initial inspection, we have never seen a CoCo officer come to inspect it. It ain't a puddle (300K/g) but not the size that darragh would be installing in other EU states.

Oh. Yeah. It's easy to put pictures up of some other fellas hard labour, I'm just a kid with a camera. One of them was 9.5 million gals. Seriously impressive.

They found the bull in china? Someone bred that bull in china or else bought him. It's like the English saying they found a horse in a field in Ireland.
Ok rant over.:D

Didn't notice that until you said it. ''A bull weighing just under two thousand kilograms has been found living in China's Sichuan Province''

They make him sound like he pays taxes and has a mortgage and kids.

I see they have him roped through the nose, the same way you'd see water buffalo done.
