Haha EK... tooo true unfortunately!

I think i'd quite like to join MR's government though, as minister for correct grammar and spelling! :D

On the basis you have new hens you may feel free to call yourself -
Minister for correct spelling and grammar.

*we were going to let JM do it, but he never returns my calls...texts...emails...invites to dinner...hunt balls...:eek: its most upsetting:(

Pottering about. It was a very pleasant day and weather looks good for the next week or so.

Phew he is still alive and hasn't donned on his balaclava yet!

...Nor become the Minister for tea and scones I would imagine!

Jen to understand the political world is to understand human nature... A task which in itself is impossible. However a good basis is that any human will want food, sex and money... usually in that order and many would not admit it but those are the 3 main priorities of the population of any country hence why politics are always open to such scandles.

I will admit to a 'certain' weakness when it comes to the Irish. Please do feel free to PM.;)

East Kent no I do not go on 'demos'. Before you ask about the two countryside marches, on both occasions I was not in the country.

Oh dear:eek:. Well, may be, but only possibly, if you are from The Republic? I could make an exception on this one occasion but I don't want to start setting any precedents.:D LOL (Any cricketing connections in the Yorkshire pedigree, that might just swing things in the right direction, but I don't know, could still be a very sticky wicket to bat on. The boundaries are very tight).

indeed... I am around, I just get a bit overloaded with JM's posts when he goes all political on us ;) ... it's right over the top of my simple little brain! Politics is just not something I understand properly.

Politics, who knows, they are all dodgy ******S! Sorry Mentle except you of course.

and what, might I ask, is the problem with Yorkshire? or more correctly The Independent People's Republic of Yorkshire as it is known in these slightly provincial parts! :D

So many choices!

But Galway is very satisfactory, indeed a stones throw from The Burren in County Clare.

Any horse coming off The Burren is the best. Depth of bone etc.

I suppose that could apply to people as well?

A combination of the Limestone, old established vetches, along with the soft moist salty air coming off the Atlantic, is an ideal formula for a good stamp of horse and I suppose person as well. Eclipsing any throwbacks from, where was it, ah yes, Yorkshire. So good at cricket.

It seems that all these considerations have to be mulled over but on balance Galway must be right.:)

PS Simsar I don't think 'that activity' is something we attribute to either those from Galway or Yorkshire. Of course I could be so wrong.

Cricket should not be joked about or insulted:( Any Yorkshire person knows its a religion in most parts.:rolleyes:
The horses bred this way on JM are very tough hardy Connamara ponies..not thugish part draught ugly brutes with thick heads to go with their thick legs:rolleyes:

Ah had one off the Burren and he was a great sucess. Thoroughbred out of a draught mare who foaled on the Burren.

I always find anything to do with the Republic, comfortable, horses, people, male and female and the whole place is generally relaxed. Especially on the west coast.:)

Who do you hunt with?

Currently dont have the horsepower to go hunting JM:eek: my shetland is game but alas people look down their noses as she goes under hedges and gates as they go over:rolleyes:
the TBxConnie- is a yearling and sadly hates anything but firm going so unless they move hunting to a summer:rolleyes:time he wont be happy!
The little coloured pony will be found a small rider as he has very good nature and very steady on any ground-shame he isnt 16hh .....:eek:
Dont get out much to ride JM but the Roscommon is a good place to start,Sligo harriers and the "blazers" if you dont mind the field been full of...well...erm...english holiday makers:rolleyes:;)
Although back in UK- was Bramham and Badsworth(before amalgamation!) york and ainsty south.
West coast is lovely-very chilled and as they say "you know when you live in the west of ireland as a cow has licked your bedroom window"!:eek:;)

JM... you should come and have a day with a proper yorkshire pack and find out what you're missing! ;)

Also. I can recommend the Roscommon for a good day out - we had a day with them season before last - hired horses from Oliver Walsh two days running and had a brilliant time!
