You would have more money giving away than selling for 50c in the mart.

After paying sellers fees your down 8/9e and your time and expense to get to the mart

Free will be out of yard and no fees

And yet the UK is heavily dependant on imported beef - are they planning on going largely plant based or something?

I’m presuming it’s just posturing actually.

Creating leverage for negotiations, they well know the fallout from a tariff like that and they know the EU will be stung with some sort of support measure to Ireland. It’s a point to have to flaunt, they can tariff our beef and bring in beef from elsewhere tariff free.

Unlikley to be 'tariff free' if brining it in from another WTO member. And likley to get caught under WTO regulations.

So, for Ireland, it will be subject to the same trade tariffs as say Brazil for example; you can’t discriminate between WTO members unless there is already a trade agreement in place.

He continued: “UK tariffs could also be very little but at the same time WTO rules dictate it will have to treat all countries it does business with in the same way. It is also important to point out that if the UK leaves without a deal in place, the EU will not have a trade agreement with the UK until a withdrawal agreement is in place

Announce fridge trucks headed for the UK need extra bio security inspections and get the French to do what the French do and block Dunkirk/Calais, slow down Zeebruge and Rotterdam the tune will change very quickly when there's not ten varieties of Lettuce in Tesco.

Surely if that happens, Ireland gets screwed as well...
As the Irish trucks, bringing Irish produce to the EU, using the UK landbridge would get blocked along with the UK trucks?

This! The usual suspect leave politicians have dodged the WTO issue for years when it comes to where they are going to get goods from. WTO tariff agreement isn't something that happens overnight.

Dial timer is the way to go.
My mam got one fitted 15/30/60/90/120 minute sections, turn the knob and it goes off when the time is up. Handy in a busy house.

Yes I think it is Bimectin plus, there ia also an Animec version. Bimectin and Animec are the two best generic forms. There are. a few more versions but I prefer to buy those two unless the other versions are15-20% cheaper

Cheltenham highlights on Virgin Media 2 now as well.

Bryony Frost becoming the first woman to win a Grade 1 over jumps in Cheltenham on Frodon has made good viewing so far.

Some amount of blood from the bulls leg

I was just in ferry terminal at holyhead. A few lads from Limerick arrived in looking very sorry for themselves. Going home early from Cheltenham as they lost everything. They were trying to gather the cost of the ferry between them.

Fantastic for her. It’s one of the few sports where it doesn’t matter what gender you are, all are treated equally, it’s uo to the fitness, grit and determination of the rider to win. And also a good horse!

It's still impossible to think she's the first woman in Cheltenham's history to win a Grade 1 race over jumps.

It's a where were you when it happened moment..

I was spreading fertilizer.

Doubled their journey going to holyhead rather than taking the m4.

This might interest a few on here. UEFA have opened applications for tickets to this years CL final, tickets will be drawn randomly, you must set up an account with EUFA and have passport numbers for a max of two people that will be going.
