Not bad at all. That’s worth a fair few bob alright. Keep your average fire lit every night for at least one winter that would.
*chews straw pensively*
Culchies and their strange ways.
I know! Burning fuel for domestic heating purposes. We’d never be caught doing the like of that up here in the city…
Don’t go down that route, you’ll have to explain where vegetables come from next.
Fuel for the winter. Not bad at all.
On principle, I only burn turf from SAC bogs!
Dublin.ie and it’s fascinating view of the “rest” of this tiny island. Mind boggling. Nearly as exciting as that stupid northside/southside boredom festival. Naval gazing isn’t insular enough a term for it.

Kind of racist in a bizarre way.
Yes we’re always gazing at ships…
Can ya not just laugh it off instead of making it into a tiff.
*Hands The Bringer Of Facts his handbag*
“Interesting”. Really? You must lead a very uninteresting life.
Really? It’s actually a pretty unique raffle prize as well as being a valuable and useful one. Beats the shit out of a two for one in Boojum.
It wasn’t put up here for being a good prize, which I’d agree with. It was to belittle people tbh.
Clare probably only thinks a competition in Dundrum for a set of Jimmy Choo’s is OK.
I’d have thought Chompsky was better than this.
LOL
That’s true.
Wait isn’t Clare Cullen yer one who does the youtube videos? Did that election a while back? In which case isn’t she a massive culchie? Then again I imagine there’s more than one Clare Cullen.
Haha controversial
Yep. This is, as others have said, an excellent prize – my parents spend quite a bit of money on a similar amount of turf each year; and would be delighted with this. Country people can be practical as well as funny, see
It’s no meat raffle.
….I was at a Heritage Day in Killala and put 7.25kg in a ‘guess the weight of the salmon’ contest…the answer was 16lb but I was disqualified for being ‘foreign’.
haha brilliant. ha culchies.
Yeah, we Dubs are so superior. Let’s all slap ourselves on the back.
Do they deliver and ‘foot’ it for you too? Coz that bit be brutal hard!
Certainly looks like it. It’s genuinely quite a good prize. If they deliver that trailer to your door you’ve done very well.
So difficult that you didn’t know it had to be footed before it was loaded into the trailer?
I like the eye-catching ‘win a load of TURF’ part. Like it’s being whispered to you while you consider the image. I don’t get the controversy here, it’s not seen every day which would make it interesting to some people. No biggie.
… and then they roar “€2 !!!!!11!1!!1!!!”
That’s marketing.
I’ll never forget how much it is to enter this competition as long as I live.
Has already been footed obviously. If you don’t know something about something, be quiet.
Sod all use to me with a gas fire.
That’s a great prize, my family cut their own and it takes a lot of time and effort, having it just roll up in a trailer would be a great prize
*wish I’d proof read that, I’m just out of bed….
