    Might be time to start looking at a few fixtures for later in the year. I might wait till the CL fixtures are out first, though

    2 quad bikes stolen fairly locally over the last week or 10 days

    Both have now been recovered mainly due to cctv, social media coverage, & alert neighbours.
    Get a sim card tracker device, the two Polish scumbags below were part of a gang that stole loads of quads. They were only caught when a farmer whose quad was stolen fitted the tracker to his new one. Iirc the tracker cost a tenner, not a bad investment! Someone more technical than I might post a good one off ebay

    Came upon this little chappie when taking the last load off the bog today. Ye all know the story about licking the first mankeeper you see on the belly to get the cure of the burn. So I did that of course.
    Dad then told me that I'd need to lick the belly of every single one I see after, in order to keep the cure. Of course I scoffed at him, gone 30 years before this without seeing one!! :D

    Seen four more under the last heaps of turf. May have rabies now :pac:

    Is it a newt? Never seen one of those before.

    There's a wildlife poster on Twitter in my area posts up pictures of wild lizards. I've never seen one of those either.

    I wouldn't be bringing your newt licking tendencies up in conversations if you're looking for a man...:p

    I have only seen two in my lifetime, and reported the sighting to this organisation online.

    Just yesterday, I found one stranded in a bucket, with some water at the bottom. I rescued it, I don’t know whether it would have managed to get out by itself. Do they live in water.

    Lady Haywire's were newts.

    Are you descibing a lizard? Cos they're two different species.

    Lovely Leitrim Lickers. Must call up.

    How badly do I need to be burnt?

    :D

    That'd be a great title for a novel..

    Or a bord failte advert!


    I'm beginning to wonder whether the title "mankeeper" should have been given to a woman with the burn cure instead of some Pleurodelinae? :p
