Good man. I'd like to see those. I have a fascination with football grounds and I'd love to see more of the old grounds that have now disappeared. I've been to many a ground that now no longer exists and it's very rarely that I am enthralled by the new ground.

While out running recently in the most recent snow's I was lucky enough to have my phone and I have to say in all my 33 years I'd never seen snow drift like it so much so that after a good 4 miles out which was largely ascent from my place I was stopped in my tracks by at first the quite spectacular

To the frightening as from the front I couldn't see this car and so while trying to stumble across the drift I encountered it.

Only a true Harps fan would stop to appreciate the sheep in the midst of it all.

So the rumours are true about you liking sheep then ?

**nigel-harps1954** · 08/04/2013, 11:19 AM

What rumours?

And consider it the highlight of the fun an frolic's had during this particular snowfall. Note I am outside the fence and the sheep are the other side.

Yes, but for whose protection exactly?

Now now your Eminence. Now now.

You don't live in Donegal for a few years without encountering sheep on a very regular basis. Of course you start out with being defence of any suggestions of improper conduct and then you accept it and then you get to where Nigel is and encourage the suggestions.

On a side note, in my school days I worked for a part time farmer on the foothills of the Ox Mountain's, Co. Sligo. A nice old part of the world too and many a happy summer I spent there. One day we were parked up and the guy I was working for, been a very often serious ma, pointed to a shed in the middle of a field with sheep in it. He mentioned the fact the particular farmer was well known for sheep bothering. Just at that moment, and in the distance the farmer emerged from the shed and the sheep scattered. It was timely and did nothing to cause me doubts on his suggestion.

yeah I was banished to outer Mongolia! Some ground that has its own Ger camp.
Funny to see that the only foreigner (Black fella) had the wag - "see ya later" he shouted to her as he walked off the pitch - she was dressed to the nines and looked a bit out of place amongst the 20 or so fans!
