going to Soll in Feb

Havea westren digital media player myself, you just plug in your usb or a usb hard disk and off you go. Plays load of formats and not come across one it cant play yet. Cant recommend it enough

Saw one of these vans for the first time today in County Tipp. today, in fairness you would want to be a bit of a dope not to see it!! It is well marked in fariness.

Fairly sure it was the Garda van that was set on fire and they dont have any markings on it so you would not spot it to easy. Passed it last night, not on the raod it was set on fire, but on another road close by.

Shocking news, my he rest in peace

This is Doherty in action recently, I would vote for him. From what I hear from friends in Donegal he has a good reputation

impressive stuff there, need a few more like that

Is it a colour printer??

Did you just replace the black cartridge and not the coloured ones.

Some of these colour printers will print black by combining the coloured ink and not use the black ink. And maybe you are out of coloured ink.

Try in your Printer Properties on the computer, set it to print in Black and White, that usually ensures it will use just the black ink.

Farmer allowed to drive car but banned from driving tractor

Farmer allowed to drive car but banned from driving tractor


A NEWPORT farmer who appealed a year-long driving disqualification was cleared to drive his car at last week's sitting of Castlebar Circuit Court but remains disqualified from driving his tractor for a year.
Mr Michael Nevin (51) of Glenhest, Newport was banned from driving for a year after he failed to pay an on the spot fine and was summoned to court for driving without reasonable consideration, when he was returning in his tractor from Balla mart. He was accused of the District Court Judge at a sitting of Castlebar District Court of 'arrogance' for not allowing his tractor to allow traffic to pass.
Garda John Daly told last week's sitting of the Circuit Court that while travelling from Balla towards Castlebar on July 19 last, he was stuck behind traffic travelling at approximately 20 km per hour. He said a tractor pulling a 26 foot trailer was holding up around 20 vehicles and had five or six opportunities to pull in but didn't.
Garda Daly said he stopped the tractor and spoke to the driver who gave his name as Michael Nevin. When he brought it to the attention of the driver that he had held vehicles up, Garda Daly said that Mr Nevin replied that he had the right to be on the road the same as anyone else. He said he issued an on the spot fine but he failed to pay it and he was eventually prosecuted in the District Court.
Ms Ann-Marie Courell, BL for the defendant, said that her client had tried to pay the fine but was outside the date. She said that he was a farmer who also worked part-time as a bus driver and had a clean licence with no previous convictions, and had received an award for safe driving from by Bus Éireann.
She also said he that his farm was scattered around Glenhest and he needed a vehicle to get around the farm and added that his wife was ill at the moment and was unable to drive. She said this was an 'unusual case' because people were usually banned for speeding and not for driving too slow.
However, Judge Raymond Groarke interjected and claimed that this case was every bit as serious because people 'crawling along' hold up traffic and can cause accidents and chaos on the roads. Ms Courell said that her client accepted that but his personal circumstances and his role as a part-time driver meant that a licence was a necessity.
Judge Groarke said that Mr Nevin was as entitled to be on the road as any other motorist but had to be considerate to other motorists and by driving at 20km per hour was heedless to other motorists. He said that driving slowly could be even more dangerous that driving above the speed limit and that Garda Daly's decision to stop him was most welcome.
However, he accepted he had difficulties with his wife being ill and the fact that he lived in a rural area without regular transport. He also said that he needed his licence for his livelihood and because there was no complaints with regard to driving a car, he proposed to vary the order of the District Court and allow Mr Nevin to drive a car but disqualified him from driving a tractor for 12 months.

not sure if this is any good to you but in windows 7 if you right click on a file and select properties there is a tab there for previous versions

Wasn't the 1993 ulster final played in the muck of clones?

Yea 1993 was a right muck fest, should have not been played (but seeing as we lost I would say that) as far as I remember in the minor game a young lad broke his leg due to the conditions.

Ah 1992 good times indeed :-)

Depends on what you are looking for in the weekend, Letterkenny is a lively spot at the weekends, but word of warning, this weather it is hen and stag heaven these past few weeks. If its night life you are looking for Letterkenny is the place to be. i would also recommend Beetroot for a nice meal.

If you are looking for a bit of a quite weekend, i would check out Dunfanaghy, and maybe Arnolds hotel. One place worth checking out for a meal is the cove located just up the road in Port na Blagh. Arnolds also offers horse ridding, and up the road too you have ards forest park with some lovely walks. Also not far away from Glenveigh too. You also have horn head thats well worth a look. also out the horn head road just over the bridge past the gaa pith, you can walk acroos the dunnes to a beach called tramore, takes about 20 mins to walk to it but it is well worth it, you can go up the coast from there to a blow hole. I wold expect Dunfanaghy to be busy this weekend seeing as its the 12th, so there would be music in all the pubs. also is the other half is into her spa, the Shanndon hotel at marble hill has an excellent spa that includes an outdoor hot tub, open to the public but u would have to book.  would not stay here as its about 5 miles from dunfanaghy so it leaves u limited for night life.
