    Must admit, it is annoying to have to pay up to 25 quid for a taxi home on a night out.

    Then what are the "shite conditions" you're talking about?:confused:

    The cows are sent out to graze in the summer, then kept in at winter usually in well kept sheds with plenty of food and water.

    Living rural myself at the moment, nothing like it, no roudy neighbours, no fights outside the door, peace quiet and tranquility.

    I was talking about cows but whatever.
    I'm not saying it doesn't happen but I've never seen pigs kept in those conditions unless it was a battery farm or that.

    The livestock are usually treated greatly here, even on bigger farms.

    You make pigs smoke. You feed beef burgers to swans. You have big sheds, but nobody's allowed in. And in these sheds you have 20ft high chickens, and these chickens are scared because they don't know why they're so big, and they're going, "Oh why am I so massive?" and they're looking down at all the little chickens and they think they're in an aeroplane because all the other chickens are so small. Do you deny that? No, I think his silence speaks volumes.

    No, you were assuming or saying, that in the country we treat our animals like crap when it's not true.
    You're talking about the conditions of battery farms, not normal farms.

    OP if by rural you mean like a 'one -horse' town or remote like Connemara? Nobody likes one horse towns, but in Connemara you always have the sheep :0

    Much easier to buy a car than it is to change where you live:)

    It must be so horrible to live there if you dont have a car, if you had a flight from dublin airport early monday morning how would you ever get there with all the cuts to rural transport?

    I'd be lost without my car. Doesn't mean it's horrible to live here without one, just very difficult. It depends what you do and where you need to go really.

    As for rural transport, what rural transport? :rolleyes:

    Well, I live in rural Ireland, it is a pain but its nice to live there though. I still have to get people to drive me places cause I don't have my full licence yet. Where I live I have to get a lift into town or to the bus. Once I can get the bus from town I can go where ever really. I've two airports near me, one is an hour and half away and the other is a half hour away from me, and the other one is about 2 and half hours from me so really wouldn't need to go to Dublin Airport, If I did I have the option of either flying up there or taking the train to Heuston and getting a bus to Dublin Airport! To make takes easier I'd stay over night in Dublin and make my way to the airport by bus!

    I have heroin, but no needle. No car to go out and buy a needle. Fortunately, I live in Dublin where everyone has needles.

    It's great

    You may not have a DART, LUAS, intercity rail, Bus Eireann, Nitelink, 13,000 taxis, bike scheme or dedicated bus service.

    You have hackneys and maybe one bus a week for the pensioners as the local post office shut down.

    But at the same time the locals accept this and don't start moaning that transport in your area is a joke and everything is terrible, oh no!

    You can have all the public transport you want..
    I still would never ever live there!

    We dont have a local post office, but its not too far to the next one.

    Everyone drives anyway.
    There is no bus for pensioners as we live in a community where all they have to do is ask and they have a lift.

    Couldnt live without the ould barn dance! Hahaha!;)
