Head hurty today after yesterday's Connaught final. One of the lads said on the way up that we would drink the number if pints that mayo beat Sligo by 10 mins in to the game he turs around and says we better leave now if where going to put a dent in them numbers.

How sh1te where Sligo we knew we would beat them but for the match to be over after 10mins it did nothing for us would have perfered a tough game.
Or back line is shocking bad soft gaols in the last two games we will nothing if they don't sort it out

Anyone else watching the royal welsh show on s4c, just press button for subtitles and select English. On again tomorrow 9 to 5.30 claims to be biggest show in Europe. Big phil Hogan was guest of honour there. They're not happy about big payments that some farms are getting. They're even less happy about the thought of UK leaving EU. Big phil was saying more payments should go to young farmers and research.

Had to get the hoof man to pare the bull today, 4 feckin drops in 3 legs caused by blackthorns. Impossible to keep a bull right around here on rough rocky ground. Looks like he's decommissioned now for a few weeks

No, none around here but it's nearly the same story with nearly everyone around though. Neighbour has a Charolais hobbling around aswell. Between hills, rocks and bushes I don't think you could keep anything right. He dragged his leg last year trying to bull a cow on a hill and was done up for a few weeks aswell, got redwater and coccidiosis the year before that. Just aswell I bought a second lad a few weeks ago. Was waiting for him to pack up again!

From the BBC website
A farmer who lit up a cigarette in his tractor could face a fine of up to £1,000 after he was deemed to be smoking in his workplace.
The quiet smoke break while parked at the side of a road in County Antrim was stubbed out when a tobacco control officer intervened.
The tractor was deemed by the officer to be a commercial vehicle capable of "carrying more than one person".
As a result, the farmer was told he was in breach of smoking regulations.
He was issued with a notice warning him that he could have to pay a four-figure fine.
Exempt
Breaking smoke-free law in Northern Ireland is a criminal offence, and people caught smoking in a work vehicle can land a fixed penalty notice of £50 or a maximum fine of £1,000 if prosecuted and convicted by a court.
The Ulster Farmers' Union (UFU) has said the owner of the tractor has been ordered by Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council, which issued the notice, to give the name of the person smoking or face a fine.
The UFU added that the farmer has been asked by the council to complete a two-page form giving details of the tractor and its tax status, despite agricultural vehicles being exempt from vehicle tax in the UK.
The council said its investigation into the case was ongoing.
But it added that "it is against the law to smoke in work vehicles used by more than one person - a tractor is classed as a work vehicle".
Barclay Bell, deputy president of the Ulster Farmers' Union (UFU), said the case was an example of officials taking smoking legislation to extreme lengths.
"At one level this is a bizarre and even funny example of excessive red tape, defining a tractor as capable of carrying more than one person," he said.
But he added that it raised more serious issues.
"Regardless of where you stand on smoking, in tough financial times it is justifiable to ask whether this is the best possible use of time and money?"
Mr Bell said it was a warning to farmers that they cannot escape red tape, even in their tractor or off the public road.

In fairness to French farmers/air traffic controllers/transport workers (almost any other sector that you can think of) they know how to protest.
Although I was disgusted with their methods during the "imported lamb" protests in 1990 - http://www.nytimes.com/1990/09/17/world/french-protest-of-sheep-imports-turns-ugly.html
