Ok folks what sort of a little **** am I dealing with here.

Clucking hen in a run seen below. Have blocks all around the base of the wire but today I noticed a chick plus an egg was missing :mad:

There's a river about 300m away.

Is there a roof on the run?

Magpie or grey crow would be capable of this. Couldn't rule Mink out either.

I would be surprised if its not paid early, but there's no pressure on him to announce it....normal year, no bad weather etc

No roof on this run but one on the main one. Hardly rats?

magpies and crows are fookers, the crows took our duck eggs that where nearly ready to hatch....could also be a cat, one of our cats took chicks from under the hen

Gecking weather. Was putting in foundations for a small shed extension today. Of course they brought a wet mix after being asked for a dry mix as it is a stepped foundation. Then it pissed rain in the afternoon. Trying to do jobs at weekends rather than when it's right to do is a curse of a job.

The chipper and the golf on the TV will cheer me up.

It was grand here in mullingar till about 5 mins ago. Bit of a shower now. Supposed to be dry overnight and most of tomorrow. I'm sure the ground can take it as most of the work should be done on site already

Hate the sight of the bloody things after being at a comedy gig in dub lately and having some ignorant b**** infront of us sucking down on one every couple of minutes then blowing it back over her shoulder directly into our faces.... Was bad enough when they say infront before they started that craic... The guy had long hair that was stuck together it was so greasy and i dont mean like wax.... You can imagine the rest.....

It's clove oil he needs, not the clove itself. You get clove oil in the chemist, I think about a fiver for a small bottle. It's great stuff for killing fish too, if you happen to harbour a grudge against a fish:pac:
