    Yep - saw a big one too. About ten past 5 in the Eastern sky. Same one?
    Never seen one as big before.
    Any idea if it made it to earth anywhere?

    It’s great to see people enjoying their elder years in good physical and mental health.

    I blame Meath Farm Machinery.

    This has been picked up all wrong, they were just some examples of the whiskey bottles found therein, showing the farmers fine taste.

    Probably the same in every parish in the country at some time or another.
    But in the locality ages ago here there was eight teenagers in a tractor here out at 11.30 p.m. Off course the tractor turned over on the road and everyone of them took to the fields before the guards turned up. Smalltime contractor's son was the supposed driver, underage and overcooked.

    OH's cat has been like a demented devil over the last few weeks and very unsettled, not eating properly etc. I brought him to our Vet earlier during the week and he has mites in his ear. First time he had ear mites and he is seven years old. Vet gave us an ointment (Oridermyl) that has to be injected into both ear's every day. Have any of ye ever tried putting this stuff into a cats ear cause it's like dicing with your life. Any handy suggestions for a cat crush :rolleyes:

    Get bedsheet, make cat burrito. Put cat burrito on ground & while holding scruff, kneel, putting a knee each side of it, then hold cat firmly in place with knees & sorta use your bum to hold it down. Do not sit on it, that doesn't go down well. Just hold cat in place with knees & scruff, while you put evil potion in ears. :)

    Our Vet showed me how to wrap the cat in a sheet/towel but imo it doesn't actually stop him getting the paws/claws out unless you are prepared to nearly choke him.
    We are on day 6 of injecting the stuff into his ears and it's getting more difficult every day.
