Yes we do too. One of the best eating fish you can get imo and also one of the best selling fish

Great time of year for sea trout now they run with the herrings in the estuaries they love this full moon oh the memories

Regularly heard the joke when i was younger ‘missus X is terrible hard on the children she hit X the other day in front of the whole street’ ‘she didn’t hit him hard enough’ god be with the days the hand that rocked the cradle ruled the world

I’m not 100% on the details but I know he definitely has his issues. I’ve heard rumours he’s regularly beaten by his Eastern European wife but I couldn’t say for sure

It’s just dawned me I was a victim of a scam lately. Some guy had offered to bet me £5000 that I wouldn’t be in Doncaster within the month. I booked my flights and arranged lodgings to collect my money but the guy disappeared off the face of the earth. €130 that flight cost me. The train from Doncaster to King’s Cross wasn’t cheap either but it wasn’t a bad journey. You live and learn I guess

Don’t think I’ve ever been scammed I often hear people talking about scam phone calls but I don’t think I’ve ever had one. If anyone rings that I don’t know the number I never answer anyway. Pulling off scams however? I could write a book

Jeans boots a shirt and a gilet most of the time. Wax jacket come the winter when it’s abit colder. Wife does most of my Clothes shopping usually Gant or Boss prefer stuff that will last a while. Usually ariat boots or cowboy boots

Yeah bud I get it. And the most worrying thing is that any situations I’ve seen that turned chaotic in a power struggle kind of a way it’s the most horrible tramp that usually comes out on top. A moral compass or abit of compassion will only be stamped on. Anyway ill be dead as a do do beforehand hopefully

Lads I don’t think any one leader or party will solve the mess. I don’t like to say it but I reckon WILF prediction that society just brakes down is more realistic than politics sorting it. I think all anyone can do on a personal level is don’t support the shops, barbers, car washes or businesses they have. Don’t buy their drugs if you’re that way inclined and don’t eat their food. For as long as I’m alive I’ve never seen a government drop taxes for a working man or make their life better in any meaningful way. But I have seen them spunk away billions to their pals and the wealthiest get wealt

I get it bud. You’re a gent and it’s for people you like you that I hope everything gets sorted out. People deserve better.

No bud I get what you’re saying when things are bad for so long you’ll give anything a shot. I’m just back from London and every time I’m over which could be 5/6 times a year I just keep feeling like it’s getting worse and the thought that the town I was born in and live in now could look like that in 20 years genuinely upsets me. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again whatever government we have now are not controlled by us. A lot of this immigration is to have fractured communities who aren’t chatting down the pub on a Sunday afternoon or women leaning over the wall for a fag with their n

Yeah that’s what happened here. Except to cap the can sworn enemies joined together to maintain the status quo and protect their power and interests at all costs. Any party that is seen to act for the greater good will be kept out at all costs. I’m not overly well up on it but I do think if Farage does get into power he will work for the wealthy and the Englishman working in an engineering factory and his wife working in the supermarket will be left worse off than ever that’s just an example I mean anyone in a normal job working for a pay check to keep a family week to week. The UK is addicted

I’ve asked this question before but is it possible for what happened in Ireland to happen in the UK with the election? If reform gained enough seats to have a majority could labour/tories combine there seats to form a coalition? I know it sounds ridiculous but it sounded even more ridiculous here until it happened. That was the day I realised the voting public don’t decide elections anymore

Nice drink there bud fair play

I’ve two hiluxs one for hunting and one for general work towing horse box or whatever one is 2003 and has been bomb proof will go anywhere and isn’t too bad to tow I had some work done on the chassis but €1000 spent on a chassis after 20 years of having to do next to nothing on the engine is a good deal in my book. Other one is 2024 plate and it’s a nice motor but you can tell it just hasn’t the same guts as the older one

Debt is the killer no matter what your at these days and they have to be paid wether it’s a gambler or a drug addict and unfortunately debts have to be paid I’ve never had sympathy for people who end up in trouble through running up a slate the dog in the street knows how that story ends play silly games win silly prizes

If going around in a wheelchair with no teeth and hardly able to speak at 50 is a canny innings I can’t imagine the years have been kind to you bud

Terrible to see decent lads bang on the self destruct button with drink and drugs all too just try and escape their own head. Look at someone like Shane McGowan could just never beat his demons such a talent and ended up a wreck at 30

Like anything in life from a bottle of beer to a burger if you can’t take it or leave it then you should really cut them out. I’ve never taken cocaine but have been around it abit through one thing or another and I’ll say this. Over the years I’ve seen people chuck their lives away with drink or gambling or whatever and everyone one of them I just always had a feeling they were running from something and just wanted to hit the off button and I reckon this cocaine is the very same. During the 80s in Dublin there was concerned citizens groups set up to deal with the heroin epidemic that’s is sti

Very sorry for your loss Jukel bonds built as children getting up to the divilment you’ve mentioned can never be broken and really do run deep. Ar dheis de go raibh a anam.

No such thing as bad land to own they aren’t making any more of it

Take it from a washed up old man who’s been there and done it. If you gonna buy land and you are self employed or earn your living from something unusual make sure you have your ducks in a row tax wise because it’s like a red rag to a bull for those pricks your holding your hand out to be slapped if you have something you don’t want them to see

A good catholic man well done my friend. You must of listened to the Christian brothers in school like me ha ha

Heavy hitting tonight lads. I’ll agree with Jukel here I reckon Trump, McGregor and whoever else is probably a tramp who it would be in anyone’s best interest not to associate with them. I was always told and have followed the principle that you can nearly always judge a man by how he treats his wife or partner and kids. If they’ll f**k over the people they love the most what chance has anyone else got with them? And yes they can have the same views as me and we could agree on 1000 different things but would I share a high stool with either of them for a drink or shake their hands? Not a f***i

I don’t think there’s any defending anyone who travelled to that island especially anyone who went there more than once. I’ve said it before you can murder somebody or rob from somebody and once you’ve done your time you can return to wherever your from and most people will bid you the time of day nobody really gives a shit as long as you haven’t stolen from them or killed one of their family.. but harming a child there is no way back there’s something deep in people’s brains and hearts that knows it’s just unacceptable under any circumstances I just hope anyone who was involved dies roaring
