By the bag I assume you mean the white powder. Tis a shame alright. In my day the top shelf of the bar was what gave a kick but now that does nothing for young lads so the powder it is.

Why in the name of jaysus would you want or need something that’s has been a) swallowed and **** out. b)either shoved up someone’s hole or fanny before you snort it up your nose.
And more than likely cut with all sorts of powders to bulk it up. Any wonder teenagers are getting chopped up over the money these dealers are making. It’s idiots buying sure Tis only €10s worth every weekend it all adds up.

A friend has kids at a secondry school in west Cavan.
As rural a setting as there is.
Their daughter is offered drugs daily, mainly "edibles", gummy bear type sweets infused with drugs.
The lad ( one of four or five selling, some are in first year!) owes money to somebody or other, and this is how he must repay the debt.
Scary stuff...

Agree on the alcohol problem. Too easily available. Most big supermarkets sell bottles of wine for as little as 4 euros and cans of beer from 90 cent. Doesn't matter what it tastes like if you're addicted to it.

I remember as a young child being sent from the meadow to the local village pub
to collect porter. The pub filled it into a sweet tin can with a lid, which I took back to the meadow on the handle bars of the bike. The chap giving my father a hand that day at the hay was a martyr for drink.

When you think back on it, it must have been a common occurrence as I can't remember being asked any questions by the publican.

When I was in secondary school, one of the teachers would send you over to the shop for fags.

Need a bit of advice folks, sold a heifer that was scanned 5 weeks in calf the day before i sold her and got a letter from the mart yesterday saying the buyer approached the mart saying she’s not in calf - she was due to calve next week. Has the buyer a leg to stand on here? Mart manager told them they were a bit late to come and make a complaint and I think the same

Thanks everyone for the feedback on this, left a voicemail with the buyer to call me back over the weekend. Not going to budge on the issue, he's had that heifer for the last 7 months so to be bringing up an issue now when she's a week away from calving is a bit much in my opinion, he would have seen her bulling surely over the last few months at least. If the saga continues I'll keep you all posted, thanks again!

Not the wine, but you hit the nail on the head with the sweet afton. If his farming brother was near him, he'd be looking 20 major in the same run.

Was joking about the wine.

Interestingly, Major were originally called Afton Major.

Jim Bolger has put the cat among the pigeons.

Maybe I should have put a request in for molasses looking for a home last year..

Rotten. Industry

Ger Lyons gave an interview on Off the Ball this evening.
He wouldn't condemn Jim for saying what he said just if what Jim says is true the industry is in serious trouble.

Jim alledges he has names but he can't obviously say them as he'd be brought before the courts.

Basically it seems it's a high profile thing such as was the Lance Armstrong moment in the cycling world.

Cant seem to find any mention of them. Is their name published?

There's no names bar Veterinarian John Hughes from Leighlinbridge who brought in to the country 250kgs of a steroid in 2014.
Jim Bolger trains not far from leighlinbridge.

Say my name

None of us will know who's involved till Jim Bolger is able to give names without leaving himself open to litigation.
Current situation now from all this is every trainer is suspected by the public.

It shouldn't matter whoever is found guilty of such a thing that if guilty then they should have zero involvement with the horse and racing industry. Size of yard or profile should have no bearing on that decision.
All trainers want is a level playing pitch.
