I thought it was worth passing around this link, provided by the wonderful Woodpigeon:

And scroll to 'Deer causing havoc in Co Clare'.

It's made my day

*giggles*


They 'interbreed' you know!!

I can't view it so I'll take your word for it, but 'breeding' with cattle is surely not quite correct?

I listened to it, but the chap from Co Clare was somewhat hard to understand - and I was distracted, which is never a good combination.

(Good heavens - "important" and "wonderful" in one day! What did I do? )

It's amazing I didn't crash my car after hearing this one live on my way to work a few days ago..

Blimey, they really do need to get their sex education policies sorted out in rural Ireland

Wonderful The interviewer was really struggling to keep a straight voice at the end there

Thanks Skanks and Woodpigeon

Did the guy get cut off because the time ran out, or was the presenter just having too difficult a job not laughing.

Beware the ferocious bullstag of Co Clare.

The cows are showing a red strain

Thanks for the

It was the very end of the programme that morning. A pity! It was just getting interesting!

My favourite quote was '...and they seemed very alert to me'. Alert calves? That's definitely a sign of interbreeding in my book

I'm giggling too hard to be coherent.

TRiG.

Has anyone informed Gnomon of this development?

*checks his PS*

OK, he's subscribed

I got it first time round, when Woodpigeon mentioned it.

Excellent. "Driving cattle berserk"

I love the way that lad talks. "But of course now the grass is more palatable to them". "Mingling between them every day and every night!"

Thanks for that Rich.

For anyone who is having difficulty with the accent, I've transcribed the conversation in my blog..

Thanks for that, Woodpigeon, now I got the bits I missed when listening.

Brilliant, nice one Woody!
