ye can thank the farmers lads and we are only gettin redy to sell weanling for export now
I find it strange that some forumites seem to have such set hours of work. Myself, it depends on whats on for a particular day and whether I need to leave early for family commitments. I might be in work at 10.30am after seeing a client and then leave at 3pm for home to bring Fitzy Jnr to training or some such, granted though the phone is always switched on and generally ringing. I might do an hour answering emails that evening then.
Work / life balance is what its about.
Its over folks, its really really over
Well done Alison
From rte.ie
The number of trips to Ireland increased significantly in the three months from May to July compared with the same period last year.
The Central Statistics Office said there were just under 1.95m visits to Ireland in the three-month period, up 9.4% from a year earlier.
The number of trips from Britain, Ireland’s biggest tourism market, was up 8.8%.
Visits from North America and continental Europe both increased by 9.3%, while the number of trips from all other countries was up 14.5%.
Recent figures have shown a pick-up in travel figures, but some in the tourism industry have urged caution, as the April and May figures last year were affected by disruption from volcanic ash.
Today’s figures also show the number of trips made by Irish people abroad fell by 1.8% from a year earlier to 1.97m.
For the first seven months of this year, the number of trips from abroad was up 11.8% on the same period last year, while the number of trips made by Irish people was down 3%.

Nowadays there is often so much pricking around with conference calls in multinationals that the only chance people get to do a bit of work is after 5pm.
wanker
you work in retail
When he was talking about seeing a client one can only presume it was some fella looking for a price check of some sort.
Get real Fisty, no-one is going to ring you after work hours to find out where the 32B bras are kept…
maybe because he has a bogey eye they dont want him out on the shop floor putting the customers off so they have him dealing with customer complaints
Sounds like you’re getting under your family’s feet. Take a step back and stop being so overbearing at home. Kids get upset and confused if they see their father before 7pm in the evening.
fuckin hell 
- you’re a funny cunt SS**
Funny, funny stuff here. :lol:

Google announces €75m new investment in Ireland
Friday, September 30, 2011 - 09:34 AM
Search giant Google has this morning revealed that is to invest €75m in a new facility in west Dublin.
The company has acquired 11 acres of land and an existing building on the Profile Park industrial estate in Dublin 22 and will soon begin construction work on a highly energy-efficient data centre.
“Once complete, the facility will rank amongst the most energy-efficient data centres in the world,” the company said.
"Google will use advanced air-cooling technology that has been tested and perfected at Google’s existing rented data centre facility in Dublin.
“This technology takes advantage of Ireland’s naturally cool climate and uses outside air to cool computers instead of costly and energy-hungry air-conditioning units.”
A data centre is a specialised building full of computers that run online services such as the Google search engine, Gmail and Google Maps.
Some 200 jobs will be created during the construction phase of the project, the company said.
Thirty jobs will be created when the facility is up and running, including computer technicians, electrical and mechanical engineers, and catering and security staff.
The company’s European, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) headquarters is located at Barrow St in Dublin, where it employs almost 2,000 people.
It also last year bought three major office buildings in central Dublin, including Dublin’s tallest commercial office building, Montevetro.
The development was welcomed by Enterprise Minister Richard Bruton.
“The decision by Google, one of the most important multinational companies in Ireland, to locate a state of the art data centre in Dublin is an endorsement of our policies in this area, and a sign of what is possible if we continue our focus,” he said.
“We’re very happy to continue investing in Ireland and to build out our presence here even further,” said John Herlihy, head of Google Ireland.
“The new data centre will be one of the most energy-efficient in Google’s global fleet. This investment further strengthens our presence here."
Mr Herlihy also thanked IDA Ireland for its assistance in selecting the site.
News of the latest investment comes after Twitter revealed it is to establish an international office in Dublin, adding to the country’s reputation as an internet hub.
Social networking majors Facebook, Linkedin and Zynga also have their EMEA operations headquarter in the capital.
