I went into our one in galway today and was pleasantly surprised , I was seen and sorted out in about half an hour . It would have taken me longer to sort out over the phone I'd say

often the way when you meet a face and sweeten her/him up a bit with a bit of chat

If I was single again I wouldnt have minded sweetening up the girl in there at all , and not for the purpose of sorting out tags either :P

There's a neighbours here that must have been talking to Delaval, he has topless cubicles.







Problem is, they weren't topless yesterday

He wasn't the only one but our experiment with them was finished fairly quickly. They've got tops again now.:cool:

My advise is to take lots of pictures and get them printed on hard copy.
Paper never refuses ink but pc's, laptops and pen drives can occasionally get fecked up.
Hope both girls are doing well

I think our justice system needs a radical change. It is supposed to deter crime, not protect criminals.

Not that far off the way I'd be thinking.
I suppose I should expand on my original point and say it would only be as a result of a successful prosecution ie one of the 4 scumbags coming forward and incriminating themselves, at which point the foottage would have served its purpose.
It think when someone enters another mans property to harm or rob, you leave a lot of your civil liberties behind you. You have crossed a line IMO and should be aware that if you're being recorded on another man's private property than so be it. Furthermore it should be an offence to tamper with or interfere with said cameras.

Muckit

I'm surprised he hadn't a wire cage or something to make it harder for them to be tampered with.

Totally agree that an owner should be allowed film whatever happens on their own property. You have the paparazzi able to snap celebs etc and totally get away with a lot more. ... madness!

Is everyone aware that their 2014 SFP is going to be a 10% reduction on 2013 unless they receive less than €5000. So if you got €5100 you will get €4590 or €25000 you will get €22500.

Other way around here, got the flowers yesterday as they're lilies so will take a while to all come out. Herself is gone again to college Monday morning so was better to give them yesterday. More brownie points for me, which is good cos I usually null & void them with some sort of codology fairly fast Steak for the dinner tonight

Same as myself , 10% of nothing is still nothing . The father will be sickened though .
We got stopped money for overclaims this year and appealed it because we weren't actually claiming on two spots they had marked out .
The bucko came out to walk it last week and said we were right about those spots but we might be overclaiming in a few others where the bushes were well out in the garden here and there . So it looks like we won't be getting anything anyhow . I await his letter to see who will get the balance anyhow !

I'm in two minds what to do about valentines , its nearly too wet to bother going out for stuff . I might just send the kids away for a few hours and be waiting on the couch in the nip when she comes home . That should get her heart racing , through love , fright or disgust I dont know :-)

Farmers need to be really careful appealing these overclaim decisions.

There were two lads out from the mapping/admin side of SFP in Athenry a little while back and they were specifically asked whether a "visual inspection" of the offending scrub/shadow/whatever would be the limit of the inspection?

Their answer was that if there were cross compliance/other issues which the inspector could see then s/he could not ignore them.

So depending on the € amount of the overclaim and the state of the individual farm it's not a decision to be taken lightly.

True dat . The advisor said that but the father said he wanted to appeal anyhow . He hates the SFP and wont be happy until they take it off him . There will be tears then when its gone but thats his baby .
We have plenty of other coss compliance things that we could have been shot down on when the inspector was there but he didn't seem to look at them . It was the overclaimed areas he was out to sort .
Now I'm wondering will he send out another inspector again to pull on any other issues .
