If Ben & Jerry end up getting into college Iād be amazed. And thatās no disrespect to them both but theyāre just not into school. A trade hopefully
We had the Grandad bullock sale fund going in the post office in her name but then he got out of the bullocks. Need to start wiring the child benefit to it. Good idea. Had worked out by time she finishes college, we will also be mortgage free as the Mrs is so old
Youngests boyfriend is working his way through an electricians apprenticeship, from what I am hearing heāll be on some coin by the time he qualifies next year.
Fair play @Locke . The insistence of some parents to push kids that are patently unsuited to it into third level is ridiculous. I know very few poor tradesmen and the poor ones i do know are lazy cunts.
I know Ben is talking about it alright, and is taking Engineering and Woodwork in school. So hopefully he has a flare for it. He did Home Economics for the Junior cycle and loved it.
I canāt take too much credit here, the youngest two will be going to college, and in Cork! The 4 year old and I had a bit of time together there last weekend - had to charge the car so we went into the Bons and hooked up the car. We had her balance bike with us so we went down to UCC. I was in her ear saying to her this is where youāll go to college and this is where Mummy and Auntie Angela (Downey) went and isnāt it great etc etc. Had all those hopes and dreams for Ben & Jerry but know now itās not for them.
I didnāt realise you were married into kilkenny gaa royalty. My da used to talk a lot about Shem Downey. If i recall correctly he used to say Shem was at his best were kilkenny were shit.
