I like the IFJ, read most of it everyweek.
Irish Times wrote a report on it a couple months ago which I thought summed it up, it gives the circulation there as well

http://www.irishtimes.com/business/sectors/media-and-marketing/irish-farmers-journal-a-leader-in-the-newspaper-field-1.1705625?page=2

The only paper I read is the free one that comes in the letter box on a friday morning.
Any others is done on line.
Re netflix I use it a lot you can have a number of people on your account even with different IP addresses so its well worth.

You'd wonder about it, has it a future? I'm the opposite to whelan, my parents buy it and then pass it on to me. Most weeks I just glance through it, maybe we should have a review of it on here at lunchtime on thursdays, one of us buy it and the rest of us can find out if it's worth the money or not for that week.

I reckon when my parent's generation pass on the journal will go with them. Still it's probably better than the 'yellow peril':pac:

ah my mother has to do the crossword in the journal everyweek, there would be war if it was done when she got it. I get the raw end of the stick as i pay for the papers:rolleyes:

It's all ahead of me unfortunately. I have two rounds of tests to go through. Cows that went down were left to me until they calved...last one only calved yesterday so will be collected next week. Two months from then roughly i suppose I'll be tested again. I'll never take a good test for granted again!

I know what ya mean, it's been years since a hiccup here and ya wouldn't think much of annual herd test only running them in for the vet, know a lad that was locked up for 7/8 years up until about two weeks ago, that wouldn't bear thinking about

It can happen. I will be sh**ing myself coming up to the next test. My poor mother will have every prayer to every saint recited a hundred times!

Try the "Terror House" museum on Andrassey street. I found it quite an experience. Especially the lift to the basement.

Try Iguana if you fancy some Mexican food (Mexican food in Hungary, yes, I know...), and a Mexican coffee or three are to be tried, just beware they're potent.

Poor girl. That's a long time. Wife went through the same. Induction is a lot tougher on them than natural going into labour.
Wish ye the best

Was in that situation with the missus almost two years ago...
Now we have a small girl, who as soon as i get home every evening - she runs to me, either wellies on, or in hand, shouting "ou ou ou ou" (out out out out)
Its a lovely feeling

The very best of luck to ye both
