Got a text there from Enfer that I now qualify for negative herd status for bvd, does this mean testing now costs me less? Do I need to do anything?

Supposedly, think now €3.40 per sample rather than €3.60.

Was going to post about this.

I think there is too much use of antibiotics in farming, have for a long time.

A very fair program in my opinion.

I was heading home yesterday evening after taking the short cut from Ashbourne (Milltown road) onto the Swords road and as I was stopped at the stop sign near Donaghmore Church the McLaren sailed past on the main road to Swords. The car didn't go over 60k/hr even though most of that road has a 80k speed limit. Some roar outta it when it accelerated.

I was going to say that I saw it in Mickey's neck of the woods but was afraid that you might not like it posted. It is a McLaren isn't it?
In fairness to the driver he/she didn't abuse it.

Is the Ferrari to match the colour of the cows they have by any chance?

Nope. They've as much to do with cows as I have. They're millionaires at like 26.

What did they invent?

My arms are banjaxxed this morning, had to take down and repair an aerial on the house, nothing more frustrating than rusty bolts and somebody on the ground telling you how to do it properly :rolleyes: Bleeding heavy thing to hold in one arm while fixing on U bolts as well.
And I still have to call someone to fix it! Male/female pins and connectors, what the fook...it's like a different language.

I have a male pin on the aerial but it's not long enough to reach the saorview box. The only extension cord takes a wider pin iykwim. So I was trying to find an extension that could take the narrow pin and turn it into the wider pin.

I don't speak electronics good, do I!

Hmmm interesting, a KJB bullock also took the reserve supreme champion and second reserve interbreed junior champion, along with a couple of other titles.
Maybe he is worth the long gestation :pac:

Best thing you can do is replace the cable as joints will weaken the strength.
If you have Satellite too, you could be better off going down the route of a multi switch & feed each room from there
