Found this up the field this evening. I presume it's a dear leg. We don't have dear around us but they would be about bout 15 miles a way.
We had a stray one 2 yrs ago alright but nothing since.
How do ye think it got there? A fox, dog or bird? Probably a bit heavy for a bird to carry?
Might be a local hunter that threw it out to his dogs and that's how it came be in our place but there wouldn't be many dear lads around and that bit of land is probably a kilometer from any road

Was there a price tag on it?

Many years ago whilst working in a company one of the older male employees got the snip job done. The day before he left work to get the operation done we (female workers) gave him a multi pack of women's cotton knickers to hold his kit in place after the event. He was very appreciative after the fact.

Good man Patsy, I got one of those kits myself for Christmas and only sent it away 2 weeks ago. We're you long waiting for the result?

What does the kit entail and how much does it cost.

€95 to spit in a little container and send it away. I think most Irish people will come back 100% Irish anyway. Different for americans as it is such a melting pot of different backgrounds.

What's 100% Irish though? Does it show more ancient ancestry like Celt/ Viking / Norman etc, or is 100% Irish a blend of the above?

Went to the Limerick4Engineering event at Shannon Airport yesterday evening. A lot of the major engineering firms from the Shannon region were explaining what they do and a little bit of how to get a job with them.

It really was very impressive. A colleague and I brought 42 students from first year up to leaving certs and they were buzzing after it.

Big difference between reading a company makes stints and having them physically in front of you with a mannequin and the delivery equipment.

It's a bit like the Genomic testing for the cattle. What they do essentially is match your DNA to other people on their database. It's very scientific, in that they stick to the what they know. They will even give you a confidence level with the other person. Of the 222 I have, 13 are in the USA, one in aussie, 2 in the uk. The rest are all in munster.
My mother's maiden name and grandmother's maiden name come up a few times in the near relatives. Something that they couln't possibly know.

She's normally ok. Didn't open up right though. Was pushing very hard at 2 in the morning and cervix was completely closed and she was pushing out the baren aswell. Called vet thinking it was going to be a section but she had opened a small little bit when he came and he said she might be ok if I left her for a few hours. Still didn't open up 100%but managed to bring the calf anyway, no monster but head kept going back so had to put on a head rope and it took a nice bit of coaxing to bring him. Never came across it before, was doubting myself that I had gone at her way too soon but she was pushing awful hard at the beginning and I couldn't even get a single finger through the cervix. After finding another one with the drone now.

Cow a bit empty after the ordeal but a fine looking team now. Calf up and sucked by itself within an hour.

They've caught a few killers by comparing relatives DNA analysis with crime scene DNA and tracing relations back to the suspects.

Was outside last night and the sky was clear and I spotted something that I initially thought was a star but it was flashing. So I thought it was a plane but it was far too high to be a plane and was moving much faster across the sky and no sound to follow. It moved west to East pretty much. Could it have been the Space Station I wonder? Is it possible to view from earth without a telescope?

Ya, I was reading that since. Amazing how technology has advanced. All they need is a distant relative and they can zone in from there.

Definitely easily visible with the naked eye.. I have an app that alerts me when its about.

Few years ago we saw it, plus following directly behind was one of the resupply capsules..

You must have great confidence in the lack of criminals in your family.

I obviously haven't so no DNA testing here:pac:

The space station doesn't have flashing lights though and shines as bright as a star. Even satellites have a constant white light from the sun.

It had to have been a plane's marker lights.

Blame the yanks and their high level spy planes.

If you see a "star" that moves in a straight line and stops and then goes back the other way. Then get worried.

Got a letter today from ulster bank. I had been over charged interest on a sizeable loan I had from 2012 to 2017. I got a cheque enclosed. Enough to pay for most of our summer holiday. Wasn't expecting it. Happy days. Had also got a refund a week or so ago on being overcharged on my overdraft.
