Oh new thread! Hope you're all enjoying that beautiful weather today......

So only about 9990 posts to go in chit chat 6

Hope when it comes to that we have been saying

1. Who would of thought after all that rain in beginning of May we would of had such a great summer.
2. I thought 2014 was a good grass year until I saw what was grown in 2015.
3. Never thought I would see 40 cent/litre for milk so soon
4. The factories are paying nearly €6 @ kg for beef
5. Didn't think Reggie would hit 20000 posts so soon
6. Cavan winning Sam Maguire was no real surprise

I know some of above are unlikely, but Cavan winning???? Sorry, I got a bit carried away

whelan2 · 05-05-2015 11:42am

They'll probably be playing Louth in the final

But Cavan have all Ireland form, (not recent form though) but we've won a few..

:D
Actually only 5 counties have won more titles than Cavan. That said - its a dead game in this county.

Do they not realise that a small bit of success on the field will give them a much higher turnover off it.;-);-);-);-). You could sell breeding rights to the kerry footballers each September. The extra action off the field doesn't effect their performance on the field.

ah but they are not "causing damage" to the silage ground they are eating it. Was told to wait until my triticale comes up and if they are doing damage there something can be done

Unfortunately, up here they tend to put the cart before the horse!

Or the pub before the club.

Also, if you're gonna try and implement "droit de seigneur" it would be better to have won something first!

I'm not sure why the drinking habits of Cavan footballers is being discussed here but things have improved hugely. You should talk to some of the U-21's who won four Ulster titles in a row to realise the training they put in and sacrifices they made.
The senior panel are allowed a night out very rarely and that is strictly enforced nowadays.

Any one know if a factory will take freshly calved cows? Have one calved here last week with mastitis and always had very high cell count that we want to factory? We haven't given her any medicine or anything, will they take her?

If you were typing it on your phone, then the Predictive Text facility may rescue it for you. Type first word you had used the first time, and the P T should take over and keep suggesting the next word.

What sort of a device would I need to do the following, put music (mp3 most likely) onto it and play in the car - CD slot anyway, can't even remember if there's a tape thing! Or am I better just to burn it onto CDs?

Mad4simmental · 05-05-2015 11:46pm

If you google mp3 to cd converter you'll be able to download a free file that will tell your windows to put it onto the file and then onto a cd. I'm not very Teck savvy but you'll get what in saying I hope ha.

Kovu · 05-05-2015 11:49pm

Would it not just be handier to get an mp3 player you plug into the cig lighter socket? Or perhaps a bluetooth speaker for your phone/ hands free kit to work the mp3 player on your phone on the cars speakers

Limestone Cowboy · 05-05-2015 11:55pm

Does anyone on here know about a teagasc scheme where they will do a pre breeding scan and synchronise your cows for you and all you only have to pick up the cost of ai. I have a neighbour that did it last year with 9 cows and it was a great success. They rang him a few weeks ago wanting to do it again this year but he has nearly all his cows served again so said there was no point. I must ask him more about it when I meet him again. Wouldn't mind doing it with 9 or 10 cows and ai them to a charolais.

Kovu · 06-05-2015 2:39pm

Swallows are dying in the cold here, just found one dead on the lane. Not a mark on him. I'll bury the little mite later, doesn't deserve to fly almost 10000km to die on a lane in Leitrim and get fcuked over the hedge

I think if I ended up in Leitrim I'd die too.

Naughto, I did and he just sat on it. So I buried it in the front garden. Cat is going to the vet at 5. Big baldy arse on him from (I think) a reaction to Gallup.

He catches leverets out in the meadows which were licked with Gallup :P

Anyway he was back in the house about five minutes before he removed his lampshade collar and escaped out the window.....ah well.
