I’ll tell you what’s in store at the Ploughing. The exact same thing as the last 10 years because they have the organising of it down to a fine art. The only difference is the travelling. It’s the same set up, with a giant makeshift town in a field RTE, Dept of Ag and IFA tents in the centre, free pens, bags, papers and luminous waistcoats… and probably Nathan Carter doing a set after the fashion show and the range rover driving up a 75 degree incline and not falling off.
Im not sure if your praising or slagging them. But iv bedn told the ploughing championship is great laugh.
It’s magnificently organised and run, but when you’ve to go every year because of work, it’s very repetitive. They have a model that works for them, so if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
is it as well organised as the tech summit?
Hehe
“Shur our clouds work fine!” jokes Farmer Deddeh
Blimey Harry! Could anything be as well organised as the tech summit?
Not anymore.
Nothing like a rock star death to get a few entirely plausible stories out of BP Fallon.
“So there I was with Marc Bolan and Mama Cass, driving this Soyuz Space Capsule around the grounds of Hogwarts…”
innit…

He’s definitely in the Irish category of “living off 5 minutes of fame in the 60s/70s/80s” brigade. Like Brush Shields, Twink, etc.
Are we ever going to find out how he lost that sweet U2 gig?
Why does Halligan always looks like he is “just out of bed/under the weather” in the Brian Cowen sense?
He makes James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem look groomed. Actually he makes former Minister, now Senator James “Clapped Out Pajero” Reilly looked groomed and you wouldn’t buy a used car from him either……
“James Reilly is selling his cars – 10 Jags, three Daimlers and a clapped out Pajero”

I went to the ploughing championships 3 years ago assuming it would be awful and left raving about it. Really well run, lots to see and do and it’s MASSIVE. I couldn’t believe how big it is. Good food and drink too.
Why do broadsheet have the late late guest list every week? How many broadsheet readers stay in on Friday night – not only that but watch Tubs?
So we can all laugh at it is why
Suppose it might be something to do with the gap between what the trendy posters here say they do, and reality.
halligan looks like de niro if his nose exploded
Sounds like hell.
