Thereāll be a feed of dead pig and bread ready fir him. Mrs Croppy is off to some Mothers and Others blitz/gin-drinking excuse for the day so Iāll concentrate on preventing the two little mem quiet so he can recover.
His choice of takeaway and a few beers will ease the hangover.
All ahead of him now.

It will be 500 points to get into GMIT the way itās going.
Any person with a building trade is naming their price.
A young lad (with good posture) could go away and learn to be a block layer now and 15 years down the road they would have their house paid for with a good nest egg saved. Go away then and sort out a handy job in the public sector/re skill and essentially retire at 40. Do a few tommers building front walls or garages for extra scratch then at their own pace.
Iām not sure how true it is but I was told that there is only a single digit amount of wet trade apprenticeās in the country.

Iād say weāll have a real dearth of lorry drivers in a few years. Youād never really hear of lads in their 20ās driving lorries these days.
And thats a real single mans game, especially long haul
From what I understand there is horrible working conditions and pay. A real race to the bottom in terms of pricing. That and the licensing is a long and expensive undertaking
We need our own Jimmy Hoffa,
Without the truck drivers we have nothing 
Canada and the States are where lads in that game go to make real money
I just did a search there now and it says the points for Engineering is about 560 where medicine is 460.
I know Iām long in the tooth but when I did the leaving youād need six As to be a doctor.
Could somebody explain why things have changed please?
CAO isnāt out yet but anyone hoping for Medicine would need very close to 600 points and a solid HPAT. Engineering wouldnāt be 560 in most Universities either. Iād say itās just misinformation of the internet.
