OH is getting hers done tomorrow, here,
Hairdresser has poor health so doing 3 or 4 customers/day in their own houses rather than risking being in a salon where there could be 50 customers/day on 4 or 5 chairs

It looks like the effects of Brexit are slowly starting to sink in. The thread is very funny.

Ye . I got mine done in my neighbour's house. My mother got hers done at 10AM, my dad was in at 12 and I was in at 2. I lost all my hair aged 7 from ringworm. So it's very fine and no grey hairs. She always remarks on it

Hard Knocks

How much does it cost to buy land, farmer turning 40 with green cert
Say 10ac @ €60k, how much in stamp duty & fees

Say my name

They may get the wallet out. :rolleyes:

The Irish government two weeks ago received a gift of €20.8 million from fifty two Chinese millionaires for residency status in Ireland.
The government will use the money for it's immigrant investment scheme. It'll buy a minimum of 165 homes and up to 320 if borrowings are secured against the funds according to iCare social housing body.
A further €2.8 million from seven other millionaires are awaiting approval.

Most of the 1,200 people who availed of the scheme up to September last year are Chinese millionaires who must prove a minimum personal net worth of €2 million to qualify.

The scheme grants residency rights to non EU citizens in return for an investment of at least €1 million or an endowment of €400,000 or €500,000 to a social cause. - Sunday Independent. Yesterday.

Edit: That 1,200 figure makes no sense. As that would make a figure of €480 million. Unless this €20 million is just the latest addition in that €480 million.
But the above is the way the article is printed.
Anyway, Charlie Haughey is stirring in the grave.

Well done to Adrian Elliot of https://www.glassonglamping.ie/accomodation/, who was interviewed on Morning Ireland this morning.
Farmers should support this new enterprise for a midsummer break, very easy to social distance any way, it has 200 acres available to roam

How long after you band a bull is it ok to leave him with heifers?

We have to support struggling farmers though.
Are you referring to mount druid or is there another one I'm not aware of..

No I think I remember being told 10 days or something. Banding doesn't knock as much out of them as squeezing does imo

It never went away, big problems in Spain and Portugal, also involving organised crime.

awful looking mess in Leitrim after the landslides

Anyone know anywhere around the midlands that you could rent a stone rake. I'm reclaiming land, and there's stones after being unearthed and I've neither the time nor desire to go picking them, and there's loads

A local creche here has closed due to covid regulation. going to affect 80 families, first of many I suppose.
It has 15 employees

On the plus side rooster, I'm told stones help keep a field warm.

Wouldn't think the sitka spruce trees would be any help. They kill off the ground cover vegetation and the root mass that binds the ground together.

One of the reasons the Irish Cob Society lost the right to register horses and sign passports...
If it had 4 legs and was a bit taller than an Alsation, you could get your horse registered and issued with a passport..
