Really sorry to hear that. I'm doing everything I can to keep my guys working and not having to lay them off. They are all out of vacation time except one and I let him go home so I can work the others when we are slow. Work is picking up slowly here, hope it gets better.
And, if your Irish luck is as good as mine, I know something isn't long in the works.
HatchA:
Thanks guys.
I negotiated my redundancy package today - they started low, I started high and we met a little more than halfway (where I was hoping for) so I'm happy to be getting that!
Got a bit of DIY to do around the house - mainly insulation - but I think I'll find some cash to get some archery gear so I can fill the new freezer, I plan on buying, with meat... ;)
mullet:
You guy's get to hunt There? That's a Plus. ;)

Technically?..... no, not with archery equipment :(
BUt I can stock up for future trips overseas, right?
I DO know a lady that has a herd of red deer that trample through her garden on a regular occasion and she said, as her garden is big enough, me and a friend of mine are more than welcome to put up some 3D targets on her property to shoot at....if you understand...? ;););)
I'm thinking of campaigning to legalise bowhunting in Ireland anyway. Once the Green Party are out of Government next month, they won't have as much control in doing what they can to stop people from hunting here. They put a ban on hunting stags/bucks here a while back - which to be honest, I think I'm in agreement cos they do look beautiful in the wild and taking doe's is a more practical way of culling etc.
I've already been on to the society that governs Irish invasive species in an effort to get them to add the sika deer to the list - introduced some time in the 1800's by some Indian Raj or something, originally about 200 or so - now there's over a million in the Dublin Mountains alone and they're inter-breeding with the indigenous reds, which ain't good!

Sorry to hear about your job,hope better things come your way, We have been lucky here is my area,the economy hasn't been to bad and of course the business I am in,Miller/Coors hasn't been bad at all, People just buy cheaper beer ,but they still buy beer. :) Not as much Sam Adams/Corona and more PBR/Milwaukee's Best. :) :) A couple of the GM plants closed down a year or so ago but are reopening as an Engine plant and to assamble some Elect. cars. Good luck with you hunting and getting it opened to anyone that want to, Don't know what I would do if it was that restricted here in the US. We are spoiled for sure when it come to Bow Hunting and Guns,Lots of people fought hard for that right Just hope we can keep it that way for future generations. :) Good luck. :)
