    You don't like people who provoke others by making incendiary claims about their character?

    I'm just stating the facts. You said that nobody would be impressed with me being in second year, I replied that I am impressed and then elaborated so as to justify the statement. That isn't lazy debating.

    I said nobody but your mammy and yourself..

    I don'thave a problem with this per se. It is something I do myself sometimes. But I am a provocateur for amusement. I am not a professional embarking on a smear campaign on behalf of an agenda. Just trying to balance the debate a tad. If you can dish it out you have to be able to take it Lisa.

    I'm not so sure about that. I'll probably have quite a big graduation party with lots of delighted family and friends.

    Cry me a river. Don't slander people on a public forum and then trot out sympathy fodder. That is lazy debating.

    To be fair, it isn't just xLisaBx saying that the cattle were malnurished. The newspaper link that I posted earlier in this thread said the same thing. It named the person making the accusation and the name of the vet accompanying them. They were there, on the scene and have made the claim in public about the cattle being underfed.

    I wasn't there, I don't know the situation apart from what I read but their claim is believable. They said that there was a lack of animal feed when they came to take over the farm. Seeing as the farmer was in financial difficulty, it is entirely plausable that the farmer mightn't have had the funds to buy sufficient animal feed. This is a possibility.

    I think you are being a bit hard on xLisaBx. Her version of events is backed up by the newspaper article.

    Remember the time that Alan partridge said that the aerial shots from the tour de France looked like cattle on bikes.
    That was a more innocent time.

    Is it hard to fail at being a farmer in Ireland?

    I mean we have a lot of them and they don't usually seem to be the brightest crayons in the pack but they do okay

    A lot of farmers would buy and sell you without you knowing it and the present day farmers are very business savvy

    I think farming in Ireland has to change though. It's hard nowadays for a small farmer to make a living. Big farms are where it is at, economies of scale and all that.

    I'm not supposed to post here anymore bit I feel that I should apologise to Lisa as I got a bit carried away
    It is just that I am sympathetic to the farmer and think these things are bad enough without trial by media

    It's absolutely fine, no offence taken whatsoever.
