And just like last week but I saw it this time through the kitchen window. It was much bigger/brighter and was blue in colour with a good tail than your normal shooting star. It went from East to West across the sky then disappeared out of sight.

There was another article a few weeks ago about farmers being the highest users of prostitutes in Ireland. When the cat's away and all that.

I'd say journos have the highest use of white stuff, this thread is beginning to read like Love/Hate was set in Glenroe.

You think that's bad? - According to the latest hit piece from the Irish Times Anti Farming editorials - the average consumer of Cocaine in Ireland "is a farmer, not a Dublin banker"

So looks like it's not just the Mods here abouts into the old hookers and coke - it's the farmers as well. If only I'd known...

And if you're worrying which in depth survey came up with the above revelation - this load of manure headline was the musings of just "one garda" who goes on to relate that - “Actually there isn’t an average consumer. It’s universal. That’s how bad it is.”

I'm surprised farmers haven't been accused of being rapists and murderers - oh wait....

Btw If the article is behind a paywall - use Google to find it using keywords to read the whole article

When hiring it’s stunning how many fail for it. Lads of ages 19-50 from quite, rural, one pub town lands failing for it. Cocaine is in every back parish of rural Ireland. Shocking how many are taking it.

How do you know this ? Have you asked them?

I would be equally certain that other farmers I know well - there are not 'plenty taking it'.

Younger generations? Could be - but it's not the reserve of 'farmers'. Anyone using that ****e needs their head examined tbh.

Gozunda, I work in addiction services as a large part of my off farm work. I encounter two serious addictions in rural Ireland, gambling and cocaine.
I would not recommend either to my children but if I had to rank them as better and worse I would say gambling is worse. It has the ability to destroy a person's life in days. Cocaine will take longer and the addiction is far easier to beat. That is just my opinion. I have colleagues who believe it is the other way around but agree on the two big plagues of the younger generation in rural Ireland. Gambling and cocaine.
Larger urban centres change the dynamics as heroin becomes a massive player.That is a debate for another day though.

I remember a recovered addict telling his story.
He was explaining how they had been told how drugs were bad etc.
He ended up trying some and when it felt good he was surprised because nobody ever told him thatd it'd feel good. Nobody ever told him that itd feel good so he wondered was the rest of it true.

Dont disagree with any of that but as the Garda really said “Actually there isn’t an average consumer. It’s universal. That’s how bad it is.”
That I reckon is true. The headline in the Irish Times article was little more than lazy clickbait journalism.

A few actually have told me ya. There are plenty taking it. You are burying your head in the sand if you think otherwise. Maybe not the older generation of farmers but there's plenty of the younger generation at it. I only said it a few weeks ago on another thread that it's rampant around here.

patsy_mccabe

I know a guy with a serious gambling addiction. I figured that bit out myself, but was surprised that he was using cocaine aswell. Had to be told that bit. Don't know if he is addicted aswell. It's all very hush hush. I heard that cocaine brings out the cnut in people - I've seen that to be true too.

Fair play if thats your experience. But certainly nothing to do with the point made that the article headline was little more than a piece of manure. They seem to be following the Guardian newspaper in the UK with similar clickbait rubbish.

Headline not great but the rest of the article does address how common it has become in rural Ireland. Its actually crazy how popular it has become and no stigma attached to doing it any more.

At the last works do I was amazed at the open talk of using cocaine passed it off as talk but it wasnt coming from the 20 to 30 age group it was 40 to 50 year olds.

OMG 5G frequencies have been weaponized.... Sounds Scarry but then again any frequency can be weaponized, I reheat my dinner with a machine that uses the same frequency range as wifi and many baby monitors.


Bet the same people are complaining about slow internet. There is a village beside me that had no cancer mast here signs up over 10 years ago, same people now complain about poor phone signal.

He's not really worried about 5G, he's complaining that he wasn't "consulted".
Anyone smell an election in the air?
