Ah no, the ewe will be fine, I'll inject her with a long acting antibiotic to prevent infection and treat her eye with with an antibiotic cream. Its grand as long as she has one eye, if both are gone It means I cant put her in lamb again next year, she can be fattened and slaughtered but its a loss of a good ewe like.

Not a total loss, so. Still cuntish on the ewe at the time though.

Save me a coupla chops!

Will do  .
Ah you'd feel sorry for the poor auld ewe allright, It not pleasant like, there's a pain killer in that long acting antibiotic to take the edge off but still, cuntish.

Weatherprognosticators have got it wrong quite a lot lately despite the alarming reports of 'sudden cold' and 'possible hail/snow' the last few months - certainly in Cork City there was none of it, beside a bit of sleet.

It's mad how easy we as a country roll over for  mediocre politicians. Why are we so afraid to rock the boat?

Changing phone providers. Fuck it from a height.

I picked up a pair of ten hole a couple of years ago and they are in perfect nick still.  I don't wear them all the time in fairness, but they aren't shit quality by any means. Maybe you bought a bogey pair?

Buy them in the shop in merchants arch, i get them there and they are great

I thought that perhaps I had gotten a Monday morning pair but the exact same thing happened to the replacement pair too.

The place in Merchant's Arch - is that China Blue? Good shop. I bought a pair of Docs in there in the 90s. The rest of my DMs over the years have always come from McCarthy's on the Coal Quay here in Cork. Old school family run business - known for having the coolest gear. James is a sound head. When I returned the dodgy pair, he just handed me out a brand new set.

I chalked this up to being a good customer of 25 years+ but then I wondered... is this a regular occurence?

I find No Risk make a good steel toe work boot, I've bee wearing them the last number of years and they seem to hold up fairly well, dear fuckers though.

Depends on what you want to spend (and the application) but Haix, as you mentioned earlier, are very good. So are Steitz Secura - particularly their Gore-Tex range - excellent work boots. Elten's range of safety boots are very good too.

For everyday boots I wear Red Wing - and I mean every single day. Iron Rangers, Harvesters, Sawmills or 875s. These are dearer than DMs and other boots but they're hand-made and will last you a lifetime.

What's the issue?

[Carnage]

Trying to get the phone unlocked. I'm leaving a business account with Three, switching to 48 to try it out. The phone I got with the business account was damaged within a few weeks so I ran out and bought another one as I needed it for work. The issue is that I bought a prepay phone (cheapest option) and according to their terms & conditions, you need to have topped up by €130 before they'll unlock it. I'm obviously not going to do that, and trying to explain that I've used the phone with a fully fulfilled business contract for 2 years is falling on deaf ears.

It's just a matter of getting it unlocked in a phone repair shop or wherever, but it's a pain in the arse.

Aye best option get it unlocked in a shop. The business phone would have had a warranty but that's a hardware warranty. Ya break it yourself and it ain't covered.

Go on eBay and type 'SIM unlock code' for whatever type of phone you have. Have the IMEI number of your phone handy as you'll need to type it in unlock code purchase.
The seller will usually have the unlock code for you within a few hours or if not, the next day.
The last time I got one it was only about €4 and it worked a treat.

[Carnage]

I was looking at a few online sites that do that, they looked dodgy as fuck. Never occurred to me to try Ebay, I'll have a gander. Cheers.

Edit: Took a punt on one there, came in under €8.50 so we'll see tomorrow (orders placed after 3:30 are processed the next day).

[Kurt Cocaine]

I used it about 3 times on different phones and the only time I had any bother the guy gave me a new code straight away and it worked no bother.
Don't think I've ever paid over €4 though, although it's about 4 years since I've purchased a code.
