Anyone got an Audi etron? What's the verdict? Looking at changing to first EV but concerned about mileage capabilities. Audi giving a range of 256 to a full charge, but then it's not advisable to charge beyond 80% to protect battery life. Add in that the 256 is likely optimistic in the first place, I'm thinking it would be closer to 200mile to a normal charge

We have. We have around 270 and you just work around it. As long as fast chargers are available and/or you have a home charger it is grand. You just  build it into your planning. On long journeys you build in stops. The remaining range is a guess based on most recent experience  .It is not definitive.  It is not the same as a petrol/diesel estimate afaik.
We have the car for 2 years and the one that replaces it will have a longer range.

If we are a bit tight on the way home and it is 40 miles and we only have say 30 miles range we first shut down all entertainment , AC etc. This usually gets it back to say 50. Otherwise we do a quick top up back to 50.  Do not run out of charge.

Thanks

Do you charge it to 100% or just 80% as recommended?

Given the age profile of the team, McGeeney leaving now could result in quite a few high profile players at the same time e.g. Forker, Grugan, Campbell, Murnin as just a few ... personally, I'd be giving him one more year and leaving it at that.  What would be success for Armagh at this stage .. probably an Ulster title / All Ireland semi-final / promotion back to Div. 1.  Anyone recommending that the manager goes now would need to have a good idea as to who will replace him.  I'm not aware of any better players in the county who are not involved, would love to see Oisin O'Neill back again and hopefully that looks to be on the cards for next year.

This seems to be the vibe generally. Give him one more year. But what happens then? Say he gets promotion back to Div 1 (quite possible), and gets to another quarterfinal but beat by a big gun (Kerry / Dublin). No ulster title. McGeeney won't walk away. He will see it as another year of progress....

Anyone taken out their oil boiler and put in an air source heat pump? Is there much (or any) saving on the running cost and how's the heat pump fair out in freezing temps?

Choc wasn't to happy with not getting on today. Held the whole thing up and his speech at the end too. There'll be words had tonight.

What age is he now? Surely it's time to call it a day? He has every club medal going and it should mean more to him seeing the next group come through
