    One of the youngest lads friends isnt allowed sweets at home. He's like a Hoover when he comes to our house.

    What book is that Say?

    What book is that Say?

    JADAM Organic Farming, The way to Ultra Low Cost agriculture by Youngsang Cho.

    It's written about advocating going back to traditional Korean natural farming methods to improve your profit. Reducing your input costs.

    I only really bought it for some new 'recipes'. But the life advice makes for some bonus.
    If you've a sore back. Roll up a towel and lie on it on the floor.
    If you've sore shoulders. Hang out of a bar for several minutes.

    I'm hoping to get into their Facebook group too so hopefully I haven't done the book a diservice by posting those pages.
    But I heard good reports about it before and it hasn't disappointed so far.

    Lots of what is written is the same as what farmers discuss in this country.

    I’d say there was half a second on the last goal happening. Some achievement and the Irish goal keeper was excellent under pressure.
    Looking forward to seeing them in the olympics.

    A lot of referrals went against them during the match and some of them shouldn't have..... I couldn't believe then that the two at the end went against the canadians

    You would hate my house so.

    Great idea... My grandmother one is in the shed. I'll do something simular.

    Quick question and apologies because I know it’s been asked before but I cannot find the reply, if I buy a car for 16,000 and use it for 50% farming, can I claim the 24k limit or is it 16k (the amount I paid)

    Example: 16k divided by 8 yrs by 50% = 1k capital allowance v 1.5k. Neighbor is asking me, don’t know why though:D

    Just watching Pop Goes Northern Ireland with the kids and trying to explain the mess that we lived through, thankfully from a distance. I remember a good few of the incidents but I'd forgotten how inured we became to the near nightly dead toll:(

    I'm struggling to understand how any sane person would do anything to help return to those times or justify anything that could lead to it returning?

    I remember the time the IRA robbed the bank in enniscorthy. I was sitting in a car outside a doctor's practice and this car came speeding past. A minute later a squad car followed but must have decided they were gone so turned down a side street to go back to the bank.
    The whole family of us were wondering what was going on and why the squad car didn't go straight on and give chase.

    It says here they got them all but there was definitely a car speeding off.

    The house where they captured Dominic 'Mad Dog' McGlinchey isn't that far from me.
    I also remember passing a car around a bend in county Limerick with my Uncle and he saying that, the guy had a habit of going missing when there was IRA activity in the area. He said he was just a decoy. Crazy times alright.
