    Going on Thursday - first year I don't have to man a stand at it so the wife and kids are coming too. It's her first time and i can't say i'm looking forward to nipping the heels off folk with a double buggy and trying to keep the young fella off the tractors.
    I think he's got a worse heavy metal disease than Reggie!!:eek:

    My parents used to have a harness they attached to me for those occasions so I couldn't get to faraway! Thursday would be a better day to go but I'd rather a bit of a dry day! I'd say it has to be the guts of ten years since I went!

    A cow called Daisy

    For some unknown reason the name of Cathal O'Shannon (formerly of R.T.E and Irish Times) came into my mind. Two memories of him I have are
    1. An interview with Muhammad Ali
    2. Interviewing a near 100 year old lady from, I think, the Aran Islands. He compliments her by saying "you have reached this great age with good health and without ever being bedridden". "Oh I indeed I have", she tells him, "several times - and once in a canoe" :D
    Don't known if it screened but remember him telling the story anyway

    Was working with Dad myself, must be the day for fencing everywhere. He's not the best at hammering though so he was quickly removed from hammering duties and was demoted to crowbar status.

    It was like that round here for years.. folks round us got a real battering, we lost a few at one stage.. Then one neighbor stopped dealing in cattle and it quickly cleared up.. My dad used to say he was building up herds of auld screws and then making them go down - I'm not sure if thats even possible. But there would be dead cows in his fields all the time, more than one wouldn't have been unusual..
    But since he stopped dealing its been good round here..

    Bloke a few miles from here was done for injecting cattle with slurry so it is done. We've a fair idea of why it arrived in the area but what can ye do, no use pointing fingers.

    I presume they do, considering Parker is talking about buying a claim and he's only about 22 or so. I'd say those machines cost a fair bit to run.
