I work with a few Northern Ireland lads and by god they are stubborn. They always remind us southern boys that they had it harder than us which is probably true. If you asked one of them for a loan of their drill for 5 minutes, they would look at you like you just asked for his daughters hand in marriage. It's way more relaxed in the midlands to be fair.

Even with a united Ireland there won't be peace if the unionists come out fighting.

I'm a catholic myself and served my time as an altar boy when younger. We were lucky in my town because we had a string of priests that were good to us and nobody in our parish got raped. In other areas that happened big time. When the victims looked for compensation the Irish government paid the bill and the church gave fcuk all. Make no mistake, the Vatican is one of the most wealthiest institutions in the world thanks to wealthy single farmers with no kids leaving them 300 acres in the will with a promise of a place in heaven. They can afford to repair it but poor mouth as usual. Those peop

I think most are ready to move on mush. Those people that killed that girl arent the majority. I think people mix things up a bit when they think that everyone is like that. Shooting a lesbian reporter in Provo eyes is a bad PR move and I wouldn't be surprised if those lads that done it end up getting killed by their own kind.

That's true but there was loads of other crops available at the time and it was all exported to Britain. Alls Ireland was left with was the spud and when that got blight the country starved. Absentee landlords evicted the people that couldn't pay rent and the British army at the time enforced the evictions. The ones that fought back were hung and some of the younger folk (over a million) emigrated to America for a new life and the old and the weak that stayed either starved or scraped through. Either way it halved the population. There is a film on Netflix at the moment called 47 and it's wort

I lost a ferret after he ate some of a rubber mat in his box. They don't digest things well and you could feel the ball in his stomach. If that was a dog they would sh1t it out but if ferrets eat the wrong thing they can't pass it.

We are all the same Wilf and everyone gets on in individual relationships. I've some great English friends and I'm sure you've great Irish friends. It's the establishment that controls you is the focal point. No south Irish man wants to operate under British rule and want an independent choice even if both governments are shite and ruled by whatever party. The Catholics in the north want the same as the south and unionists want to be run on their own terms. Both sides are stubborn. No right or wrong but I'm surprised that average English folk expect the Irish to fall in behind them. We are sep

Poor kid killed by pit bull type dog
jiggy replied to Apache...'s topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
My woman's Bichon friese bit our son on the hand when he was a toddler because he was shoving his two thumbs in the dogs eyes causing her excruciating pain. It was a nice life lesson for him because he had a good cry but the bitch never even broke through the skin. If that had of been a strong jawed breed then he would be missing a hand or worse. I've a 1st cross wheaten hound that I pretty much trust with small dogs and kids but I still won't leave him open to chance and regret it later. Out in the kennels he will stay and not bottled up in a house in tight spaces with yappy dogs and kids ann -
I visited there a good few years ago and to be honest I didn't really grasp the awe about the place. Nice architectural building but crowns of thorns, cross nails and Louis pyjamas didn't really tickle my interest. All myths and legends in my eyes. No different than yanks searching for leperauchans in Kerry or a monster in Loch Ness but tourism pays the bills.

Doubt that and put it down as conspiracy theory. They could hit financial institutions with a large bomb to create distraction. Even hitler admired works of art and hid a lot of goodies away but never burned them. He only attacked what he thought was weak and not the gifted stuff because he thought it would be useful to his purpose of greatness.

What if anything is eating the swimming pool?

Frayed edging Looks almost like it was nibbled by a mouse or rat from the inside. I've seen a similar type hole through the middle of a sliced pan loaf after a mouse decided to tunnel through my work lunch .?? -
I think hatred of the postman is a given for any dog. When a dog barks and the postman drops the letter and leaves then the dog thinks it has successfully chased him away so grows a big pair of balls as a result and the hatred gets bigger ever time.

I had a Labrador that was fine with anybody and was as loving a dog as I've ever owned and the kids could poke her eyes out and she would just wag her tail but she didn't like tall, broad intimidating men standing over her. She would curl the lip and strip her teeth at them. Then again the few she done it too were big thick wankers that pushed their weight around so maybe she was picking up on character.

Poor kid killed by pit bull type dog
jiggy replied to Apache...'s topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
While any type of dog can be aggressive the fact is bull types can do a lot of damage in a very short space of time. If a survey was done on fatalities versus breed types owned per head of population then I would guess bull types would be the number 1 killer. That's not saying they are the most aggressive breed. I would regard ankle biting jack Russell's and collies to be far more aggressive but they don't have that kill force bite and hold technique and would just leave a few scars. I can understand genuine bull owners that know how to work and handle them sticking up for the breed they lov -
No your ok. I lost my phone and dog lead last time I was there.?

Scobie & junor in Naas (Kildare) sell sausage making spices and skins online if you ever want to experiment with venison sausages. I've a sausage maker (mincer) here if you want to borrow it next time your here. I made 20 pound of sausage with the organic skins last time and they worked out well. Much nicer than burgers. I gave myself a sickener one night when I ate too many burgers too late at night ? So I stick with the sausages now.

No thanks. I'm ok without it. I've had my fair share of bad luck without adding to it.

Only joking bud. My dog wouldn't catch one dark or bright, he'd get dusted. Cobby first cross Wheaton but he loves foxes. I remember the first Coleman lights. They were blue metal boxes and hummed when charging and stunk of battery acid. Burnt holes in many a mans shirt. How we never got skin cancer surprises me.

Which was more shameful? Using that or lamping hares. I would of changed the dog.?

Yeah it's hard beat the greyhound vets. They know the greyhound men aren't stupid and are doing it for a living and will call them out if they are taking the piss. Nobody minds spending money to fix a dog that can be fixed but to keep a dog alive that has no chance and collect another 300 is downright cruel. It's not easy losing a dog but you would like to hear the truth if their time is up and not get fed bullsh1t by a greedy Cnut pretending he cares.

He grew up and went to school just a couple of mile away from me. His name is never mentioned in local circles. There's a good vet in finglas Dublin that knows his way around working terriers. I'd always take the extra hour journey and travel up to him rather than deal with the money robbing local dummies. Good greyhound vet he is too and usually they are the type of guy that uses common sense instead of taking €1500 off ya and then the dog still ends up getting put down and prolonging the enevitable. Fitzpatrick knows how to tug the women's heart strings and open up their purses. More fools t

Which do you prefer on a windy day? When lake fishing in Ireland pretty much every day is windy ) lough corrib galway) and the Kelly kettle is better than gas in that situation but after reading your posts I presume you cover a lot of ground and do a bit of camping to find big cats so would have a bit of experience in what works best? It's hard beat the Kelly kettle for efficient but the soot goes everywhere

I wonder did foxdropper get the number plate of the elephant that ran over him.The lions were just there to tidy up.

Bang on mate. I'm from laois which is kinda of backwards but 20 minutes drive and pull away from the motorway then it's stud farm after stud farm in Kildare . Multi millions. It kills me watching the lads ride out at 6 am on summer mornings driving by when I'm heading to lump blocks for the day.
