    I was at a match in Mallow today and we were frozen leaving. I only warmed up at the end of making with 2 socks and hats and a jacket extra on.

    Mild enough here now though.

    He wasn't idle on the pitch so. I hate watching games, I get very frustrated watching especially if it's cold. Fair play to those who can though.

    He's a very good player- maybe I am biased- watch this space in a few years. Football mad.

    Send him down south for awhile and we'll tell you if he's good or not. He can do the power hosing between training sessions.

    The games he plays are 4 quarters , goes in goals for 2 of the quarters, he isnt afraid to get dirty so will dive for the ball, one of the other lads who was in goals was crying today as he got muck on his shorts. Ah it's great for them he will be ready to go to a game about 4 hours before we have to go.

    That's great to hear!

    Did anyone see the second or third page of the Irish Times today, photo of someone saving 40 round bales of hay in Meath last week and below it a photo of fields covered in snow/frost? Some change in a week. As me dad said, they'd need their back teeth to ate that!

    Lovely day here. Just back in from a wander about the wild bird cover and its full of dickie birds.
    I would like a camera with a good lens to take pics and try and identify them. What money would ye have to part with for a suitable camera. I wouldn't mind if it was second hand.

    How long is a piece of string get yourself to a photography class (easier said than done )it will help you no end,rather than buying something that will put you off using it.

    Have a look in the bird watching section at some of the pictures.
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=406

    Then there's also the photography section of boards.
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=27

    Then there's also the dogging section of boards.
    Seems to have gone missing.:confused:

    Ah no seriously. There's some good forums on boards, that you should be able to get good advice. The pictures in the bird watching section are unbelieveable.
    I've a little pocket Nikon Coolpix 16 Megapixels with a wide 20x zoom that I just use for fooling around for. I'm even still learning as I go along about all the different functions on the camera.

    When I was younger I had a good Canon (slr) with a 35mm and zoom lens. I used to take a lot of quality pics of show cattle and horses - mostly my own. Unfortunately its obsolete unless I want to start buying rolls of film which apparently are now quite expensive to buy and get developed.
    I would have reasonable knowledge of shutter speed, lighting etc

    The Nature and Bird Watching forum is one that I follow. Super pics of our wildlife.

    I've a Nikon D40 here going unused since I got a Sony? Was going to stick it on DoneDeal but if you're interested give me a shout. They're a fairly basic SLR model though.

    Batten down the hatches timmaay. It's going to be a rough one.
    They're giving very wet and windy/stormy conditions tomorrow and into Tuesday morning for Wexford, Wicklow, Dublin and maybe Meath.

    From Met Eireann. Looks intense enough on other charts.
    STATUS YELLOW

    Wind Warning for Dublin, Louth, Wexford, Wicklow and Meath
    Very strong north to northeast winds developing on Monday afternoon and continuing until Tuesday morning. Winds will reach speeds of 55 to 65 km/h in coastal regions with gusts between 90 and 110 km/h. Storm force winds are likely offshore.

    It says on this from M.E from 12 tomorrow but on countryfile it's giving the rain from around 10 or 11 a.m and wind then as well.
