Farming Chitchat 10/10- Now VIRUS-FREE!

Base price

Any of ye heading out on Friday morning with your gun and dog.

I'm sitting in the kitchen cleaning the gun but I reckon Friday will account as a brisk country walk as I haven't seen a pheasant since earlier in the Summer.

I've seen a good few around here, I think a neighbour is rearing them around his place.
I'll hardly venture out, there seems to be less lads shooting around here the past couple of years I reckon

Not seen as many pheasants about here this year either, not sure why... usually we’d have a good few if em about...

Hope we don’t have anyone shooting. Sick of lads coming into our place with some sob story that they didn’t know they weren’t supposed to be there - even though the local gun club has been informed I don’t want em...

The inlaws have a small game society based on their land and a few neighbours so I'll head out for a walk with them on Friday morning alright. We released 75 adult birds there at start of October, have seen a few met their faith on the road but hopefully enough still around to make for an enjoyable season

19 goals is fairly good for senior soccer. And my language has improved since the final whistle:)

Some of you might remember the quad calves born in Clare 2 years ago.

Ye. He played well. The 5 goals weren't really his fault and he saved a penalty.

I might be a bit harsh but I felt he could/should have pushed two of the balls wide instead of into the box. Delighted for him though, he looked capable despite being left exposed a few times.

I'm absolutely wreaked. Up at 4:30, Flew out from Dublin around 6:30 this morning for an all day meeting 20 miles south of Edinburgh. Flew back into dublin around 9 this evening and just home in west cork.
Used to do this sort of craic more often a few years ago... today reminded me why I don't do it so much anymore

Then there was a west cork search and rescue operative or along those lines stating how the problem is so bad that people don't care anymore about declaring their use of cocaine and how it's so mainstream.
The common theme between the two callers is the use is phecking up people's mental health and if you go on any drugs you're basically ruined for life.

It could be more a case that they weren't in a good place mentally in the first place. There was a want or a need there that wasn't being addressed. Something going awry in their life. Then it very tempting to fill the void with whatever self medication takes your fancy.... drugs, drink, gambling, prostitutes.... take your pick.

Any subsequent mental health issues after the misuse is still rooted back to not addressing the original issue(s).

And all the above always compound any issues.

Some of those old machines allowed you disconnect the belt and flip the machine upside down, giving you a level table top.

sad day when the old lad broke out the hatchet on the singer sewing machine press,

it was part and parcel of my childhood
