No quitten we're whelan onto chitchat 12.

Fair play, although the thread title should probably be “jumping on” with the way Boards is jumping around the place all the time now!

So, what's da story? Any news?

The rain in S Kerry/W Cork the last few days has been biblical. I was trimming hedges (chainsaw job) from a basket and we had to stop get out of the fields because we'd destroy them even with wide pads on the digger.

I was going to get a tank of slurry out if we had got finished but it's as well we didn't now as it'd all be gone out past the bull rock at this stage.

We then went at a road that needed rockbreaking and widening, back drains etc, and that's in pure slop now this evening.

Parking up until next week, with hedging, mulching and tree cutting deadline looming large.

Too wet even to gather in sheep from the mountain to dose them, they'll have to wait another few days.

I've found it colder now than a few weeks ago during the minus temperatures. The rain we've had has been heavy and icy, the type that'd soak you through quickly.

Sky, how do they get away with the way they treat customers? I'd say they're worse than eir now. My parents availed of a free sky box for a certain age group. Sky couldn't do enough for them when getting it set up. A month later it stopped working. They tried to say the trees in the garden were affecting the signal. My dad spent ages on hold on various days ringing them. I rang a tv guy yesterday morning, he came out and adjusted the dish and all is well again, but they went 6 weeks without tv. I cancelled sky last year , which was a 45 minute call and I still get calls every week to go back. I have them blocked now

They are a disaster of a company yo deal with so they are

Herself had a policy of ring up sky every 6 months and cancelling and then being offered the sun, moon and stars to stay. it is much easier to accept bad service when paying like 10euro per month.

Between internet & streaming we have enough, mainly for the kids anyway!

But it's the time spent ringing them up, negotiating a deal. Nothing for loyalty. I was with them over 20 years and just got sick of it bring so hard to contact them

Local butcher today 5 burgers 8.50.

Wait till you try to cancel EIR

The shy heavenly version!… sorry couldn't resist.

With a amount of rain due on some of the charts for the next 2 weeks it could put a demand on it. Very little moving around here

Everything is going & gone up

With the Don across the pond raising & imposing tarriffs like its blanket solution to everything I'd expect inflation to increase & prices go higher.

Getting solar in here, spending a few bob on things that need to be done over the next 2 years & just getting it done now

This is the reality. I see they have a DOGE debt clock now.
