Sitting in Dublin airport enjoying a pint now and heading over for the match!

The airport must be the only place where you can drink pints at any hour of the morning while eating breakfast and no-one bats an eyelid😂🍻

Hon Ireland 🇮🇪 🇮🇪🍻🍻

Don't know how they can farm bad land like this at all 🤐

I was up in Dublin yesterday for the Luke Combs concert. The price for food and drinks in Dublin versus Paris is crazy, I'd spend more in Dublin in a night than Paris. Four of us went up, drove up, parked at the red cow, luas in and out. It was a great concert and a nice atmosphere. It was a younger crowd than I was expecting. I was talking to a fella from clonee and he said his our version of garth brooks. Back up in bed by 1am. Hotels were looking for €300 for the night 🤯

The Irish in Cricklewood: https://youtu.be/2IE7OYQwsHs?si=5XQTa5wei32wwL94

These Irish emigrants are probably an embarrassment to the Establishment types here, who’d prefer to forget that there’s another Ireland outside their little comfortable circles.

My uncle had a shop on Cricklewood Lane. Sold everything irish. Newspapers from all over the country to denny sausages. We used to go over in the summer for a few weeks when we were kids. Helped out in the shop met some great characters. This was 20-25 years ago so there was still alot of irish there. Slowly over the last 20 years they either died or moved home or away from London. He closed the shop there a few years ago and moved out of London too. Cricklewood is now full of polish, Albanians, Romanians and others. My uncle should write a book on all his experiences with the shop.

Didn't see this discussed here or if it's even known here.

Glyphosate may lose it's derogation in this country.

For all the talk of the nitrates derogation in this country by all farmers and sundry. It looks like the Glyphosate derogation was being tried to be kept under the radar and it was hoped that it was gone through for a few more years. So this announcement and vote looks to have sideswiped some. But the vote wouldn't have happened without politicians and the politicians make the rules. Now the politicians want to make sure it's derogation is not renewed in this country.

First version of it being tested.

I’m assuming I’ll be making modifications so didn’t put it too far away from the gap 😀

You're assuming too it'll stay at the gap and not dragged across the field by one who wants to wear it as a hat. 😁

Could you put a few blocks or even a few inches of concrete in the bottom of it for a bit of weight. Them might not be able to lift it with their heads then

Downpours and hail showers here since yesterday evening. First batch of cattle in shed this morning. More will be following next weekend. Can still keep drystock and some lumps out for a while yet.

I’ve only 30 calves so they wouldn’t get thru a round bale of straw or hay before the rain.

I have a round feeder and looked into getting a cover for it but I’m trying this first. The IBC tank hasn’t been used for water in a few years so thought I’d try converting it into something useful.

We’ll see how it goes

You know those u shaped bars they hammer down on goalposts to keep them in place? You could use them

Cattle/calves don't mind wet hay or straw in a feeder for up to 10 days, in my experience. Use a circular feeder with a pallet under the hay. You can always take away any hay that's left if stock leave the field - with a grab.

She (Grace) always struck me as not very bright. I bet she hasn't a clue as to the chemistry involved and none of the ramifications of her decision.

Poor Ireland.

(Not poor as in poor but poor as I'm feeling sorry for the rugby team.)

Good loser

By his article in this week's Journal G Potterton will be very unhappy with this decision.

Yeah, gutted for them. They didn't fire on all cylinders tonight, but nearly got the try that Beauden Barrett held up.

She knows alright.

Well maybe partly. She's anti nuclear too.

In their minds everyone should be organic.

There's no denying though there's more babies born with different ailments than there ever were.

I wonder if the numbers were crunched on that smn, would it be correct? Or is the difference that we dont bury them in septic tanks in Galway anymore?

In the 1950s a relation was born with Downs Syndrome, the parish priest arrived when the child was three weeks old and announced they would take her. The childs mother refused to give the child to him and was the talk of the parish I believe.

Another factor I believe is the older age that we are all having families at. I honestly think that there is an optimum point in your physiology for having a family. There is a definite correlation between older age at giving birth and higher incidence of Downs Syndrome.

Or I could be completely wrong.

There's more chemicals than ever in the vicinity of humans. Coupled too probably with radiation from all sources. And then your age of what medics refer to geriatric parents. All factors.

I've known chemical users where they had children born with deformities. The chems were part of their profession.

You'd know where the Green party are coming from on this. Organic farmers migrate that way and party members migrate to looking for Organic food.

It's the food quantity and if they've gone too far in rhetoric is the issue. Some think Organic can get the quantity. But there's a lot of tillage farmers in this country say they can't do without Glyphosate.

If it comes to a decision from our Ag minister. He won't ban it. But I'm not sure what way or how it'll be decided here.
