    Hon the Banner!
    Good win, but I never saw Cody spitting in his hands.:rolleyes:

    Only the league but that was as good as I have seen them play, a better performance than we got in 2013 even. Good things to come if they can keep the ball rolling.

    There is a grey crow attacking my kitchen window all morning. Sun is right on it so can't see how it would be attacking a reflection :confused:
    Next time I am releasing the cats :pac:

    Mind yourself this could be only the start of it.

    How is everyone? I haven't been on In about 8 months.
    Is Reggie still trying his hand at Welding?
    Is Whelan powerwashing with one hand and rearing the family with the other?
    Is connemearafarmer still a connemeara farmer?

    Fierce news about that farm in cork.

    I'm reading the dealer looking for a few cheap deals. Lotsa cheap but lotsa crap too!

    Well done! Ah the arsefell outa the job there last year so we upped from the big shmoke and landed down bullocks country. Tipping about for a few months waiting for the right job to come up. Did a lad a favour a long time ago, and twas long forgotten. Our of the blue he called me up and after a few interviews landed a whopper of a job that in delighted with.
    and yes no matter where I go I continue to tip the handle a second time!

    Fair play to ya lad. Mind that whopper of a job doesn't leave you requiring the third flush :-)

    Had to use mains water for about 4 weeks there recently, today I got a bill from irish water for the normal 32.50 and it says unmetered on it. There is a meter there. It says usage up to 31/03/16 would have been using mains since 29/02 . Also got my standing charge bill for meter from county council and its the usual . So will I be charged for the water I used?


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 12,984 Mod ✭✭✭✭blue5000


    Not sure, you might have a dwelling house allowance, maybe 30th litres(?) as part of your standing charge. If you used less than this, then it's probably only the standing charge.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    whole farm would have been on it so would have been fair usage, will look at bills again

    That would have been on the old meter. We were told houses wouldn't get bills till the new meters were installed but the farm would still be billed off the old meter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 31,422 ✭✭✭✭whelan2


    The usage period was January first to April first. Meter reading stayed the same on bill. Reckon I will get billed in next bill

    Awful trauma here this evening. Youngest has pet chickens. She had them out round the garden after school. Came in for dinner and she spotted the fox outside heading off with a chicken in its mouth.
    I think seeing the fox heading off with the chicken made things worse 😢
