No quitten we're whelan on to chitchat 11

From memory I think the reference cost for Tams for replacing an agitation point is €450. If the new one cost €788 that’s tough s**t, you can still only claim for a maximum of €450 and that includes labour cost as well. That means at 40% grant rate you get €180 back, at 60% rate you get €270 no matter what the actual costs were.

Costs of completing that job in Wranglers would be far higher than what you’re calculating.

In my opinion even if they got the manhole covers for free it’s still a good thing for a tenant to do in someone else’s farm when you take the labour cost as well. Wrangler did say all the concrete had to be cut back as well, a nice bit of con saw and kango work at that too.

Seeing plenty reports of woman taking up arms in Ukraine too… Would agree 100% on the bravery they are displaying - men and women…

I don’t know would I agree with your opening statement…

Lovely scent off those burning in the fireplace.

Supposedly didnt go all in with the full force and now it's stalling and supply train is falling to bits, lack of air to try leave something of a country otherwise millions of people not knowing where the next meal is coming from is the things of any governments nightmares.

Spruce on peaty ground is notorious for that - the amount of windthrow on spruce plantations around North Mayo is eye opening and makes you wonder what the hell the forestry service does be at okaying such sites🙄

There is huge assumptions about the military strength of Russia. However there military is mostly made up of reconfigured late cold war design. They are really depend on a change over from these to there newer design modern technology. There tanks are still outdated and do not rank the top ten weapon systems in there category. There new jet fighter is but I am not sure how many they have. Artillery and distance weapon systems are limited. There Navy is very limited in real terms from both location and quality.

There is a real risk of them entering highly build up area's. The javelin and other anti tank weaponry would nullify there tanks and other armoured carriers. There problem is the longer they spend around Kiev the higher the risk there will be attacks on there supply lines.

The risk is as well that you could get intervention from other states that have left the EU. Uprising in Georgia and Chechnya could cause a draw on forces as well

The longer Ukraine holds out the more sanctions that will be put in ace by the EU and the US. The EU and the US are starting to supply Ukraine. How long before technical help or professional military assistance is supplied as well.

interesting move by Roman Abramovich today handing over the running of Chelsea football club, no doubt trying to put assets out of reach of the EU

Well done, did brilliantly but last few minutes in particular. Have you missed a game yet this year?

Good going, nothing like a road trip. Armagh a playing well too, should be a good game

Na you have to teach the lingo.

10 minutes left in the game after scoring a goal or a point and going 4-5 clear

'' come on Kerry lets go home( or of it is Cork and you are in Killarney ''let's send them home'') in style.

Ref is giving a load of frees against you

'' come on ref why do you not put a saddle on him altogether''

Injury time and you are a point up with 2;3 minutes left

'' blow it up ref we have enough of it''

An opposition players is rolling around letting on to me injured

''Send him to the corner for cry ref and give him a bag of sweets''

Flynn lad is some player - hopefully we can repeat when it matters later in the year

Any cure for two foxes roaring outside the bedroom window?

How long do blue cards come after registration, registered last night

Thanks Whelan
