Managing to dodge that bullet myself today but I feel your pain. I'm not in the office but I'm not at home either.
Still, lots of wet weeks that the weekly wage is a godsend.

That's true alright. The wage is what it's all about. Keep telling myself though that I will be able to 'retire' early and spend my last few years doing what I really enjoy! It's a good few years away yet though....

I often wondered if I ever did win a ton of money in the lotto and was able to spend whatever i wanted on the farm to get it in tip top shape, e.g. land improvements/new land, stock, machinery, sheds etc., would i feel like I had cheated by not having done it the hard way - scrimping and saving, pulling and dragging, stressing and worrying - and then i think to myself.......cop the fcuk on!:)

woman that use to clean the house for me won a million on the lotto a few years ago. She was living in a council estate when she won, she bought a house, gave each of her 7 kids 50,000 each and blew the rest. Shes back working now but she enjoyed every bit of it. She still plays the lotto

is she back cleaning for you?
why did that woman not get a good accountant like the fella that posts on here(cant think of his name)and learn how to make the money work for here like putting so much into a high risk catagory you take the chance of getting burned but you also get a lot if it works out

no not cleaning for me but doing other work. She never ever had money in her life and this was a windfall. She enjoyed herself , got married, looked after her kids went on holidays,bought a house bought a car. I wonder if she won again what would she do differently

A fella about 20 miles for me won over 6 million a good few years ago. He got a good accountant and he now has just over €150,000.

In fIrness the problem is the lads getting telephone number payments. How this can be defended is shameful. I can well appreciate that people see this as a pure handout in multiple thousands to businesses.
Ordinary joe shmow has no idea the state of farming and so it's easy to get them roiled up about payments.
It's very hard to get the public to sympathise with poor beef prices and low farm incomes when they think were all getting a bonanza lotto win every year.

I completely agree. There's also a lack of recognition (and payment) of the production of public goods, versus the kilo of this or litre of that.

Oh I know.

There's a part of me hoping for some strange things. Like the existence of an afterlife, so I can see how the descendents of these people get on with other countries holding them to food ransome in the future and how they deal with the annual massive wildfires due to undergrazing.

As they say, be careful what you wish for, you might just get it

Easy having all the answers when you are coming from a well fed position, with a masters in Politics or Economics under your belt and a job in the CS. A week without food deliveries to the shops would see this country in chaos. Even worse than a week without dole payments.(why do you think Bank of Ireland could not be allowed fail?)
Imagine a new superbug that loves to eat BioDiesel, rendering all modern diesel engines useless? Anyone living more than walking distance from a farm would die off in a few weeks. Most tillage farmers would as well, as it hard to survive eating emerging wheat's or barley. I am considering applying for an increase in the max. limit of ammo I can hold, gonna be like the end of "300" at our yard gate.:mad:

You know what will happen.
When all the proper farms are gone and only factory farms exist. They'll say that the huge SFP made farmers lazy and they retired to spend their accrued payments.
