Arlene on the view, nut job

900 litres yesterday was £240

£216 today.

I think I paid £180 for my first 900 litres 22 years ago

And see the fcukers who drink craft beer....

This might not go down well with the non drinkers or only one or two in a few months, but for craft beer the Woodworkers is hard to beat!

Once it reopens in 2021!

Looking at the figures for Portugal (twice population of all Ireland) are they doing anything different to the rest of that area (Spain) ?

Trying to set the old fella up with access to the GAA archive, but does anyone know what's the best way to get this on a TV for him.

Smart TV, Firestick are all options at the minute but need to keep the complexity down or he won't be able to use it.

Are you using this link?

That's a good link how did you come across it, any simliar ones from other years?

Not sure was sent to me via WhatsApp

If it wasn't for the fact that you're a referee and used to self isolation I would have said it's getting to you.
Getting bored now so this will likely be my last post before I furlough.
If Ulster GAA  can communicate via twitter and Facebook positively then so can gaelfast, IMO.
Ulster still open for business, maybe on the southern scheme.. Ha ha.
At least we know Gaelfast are furloughed cos you said it so it must be true.

If all are furloughed then how can they send messages on a public forum? That would  then suggest they are not furloughed?

Don't take my word for it, but get your facts right before publicly bashing people on a public forum.

What the GAA do or Ulster GAA do is up to them, they may have some staff furloughed  others on full pay I'd assume they are a separate entity, that part I don't know, but I have had communication with one of the lads and they did have plenty material to do things but it's not allowed through the furloughed scheme.

On being furloughed through my own job, I'm not allowed to talk to my clients, there's a colleague who is working and they must communicate through her, she will email me or phone me on said issue, I can't directly be seen to help/work.

Are the referees eligible for any of the Schemes North our South? most must be down a right few grand

Sure it's voluntary

No one knows for sure if Gaelfast coaches are on "that paid leave scheme" , it's just an another assumption then.
Just to be clear : Businesses etc can furlough their workforce but do not have to put 100% of staff on the scheme. Eg Next retained warehouse staff on full pay but furloughed shop staff
I would hope that the GAA would not put employees on a UK / HMRC scheme to shut themselves down in Ireland - oxymoron or what.

The scheme is available in the south also. There's no assumption they are furloughed. Now get some sleep

MR2, typical comedy answer, you suggested they were on the UK scheme. The UK and ROI schemes are quite different but as a know it all you are bound to know this. Please doze off

What is it you want a furloughed outfit to do? Spit it out please, they are 100% out of work and not allowed to work.

You're an embarrassment

A UK manufacturing company is opening up tomorrow to produce PPE for Ireland! The UK government aren't not using him despite him making his company available!

I work with a thinkpad! Have used them for past 6 years, due the new touch screen one next month. Great computer.

As a refurbished computer are you definitely getting good speed from it?

These laptops they throw out at curry's don't last

Cheapskates.
You could consider a chromebook, touchscreeen and is cool for kids   ----> a Lenova.  Though don't penny pinch by ignoring  the screen protector accessory.

I'll be forking out for two Mac books soon enough! Nothing cheap there 

This is just to tide  her over till college, other one wil get here in September

looking a computer/laptop for the kid going into lower 6th, £350 price range, whats the best in terms of rams size processor size and anything else that help

In the same boat here as with the missus and wains working from home for the foreseeable tempers are getting frayed over sharing a laptop! Luckily I have my own work one which is thankfully off limits to them!

Yeah mine is off limits I got the both ones 3 years ago. Seems to be the life span ffs!

also in this predicament.

the front of the house is growing well in places, poor in others, im in the house 4 1/2 years now.

id imagine ive spent in the region of 500 quid on feeds, seeds etc.

these contractors throw the unwanted materials in and 3 inches of poor quality top soil on top, then seed it. cheap as possible.

ive been toying with the idea of a couple of loads of top soil and barrowing it to the back of my house. serious work involved however I think its the only option at this stage. something seriously wrong if grass refuses to grow

Wasting time feeding it as it can't grow in poor soil. It's like painting over a damp patch. The rushes etc. are a result of poor drainage so I'd say all the reasons you have cited re. fill etc. are correct. Contractors are c***ts for this, people are paying for the house inc. site, not just the 4 walls and a roof.

I don't see how you resolve it without a mini-digger and a trailer to get the area properly drained and then put at least a foot of topsoil on it and re-seed.

My lawn is similar but it's on clay soil so there are parts where the water just lies after heavy rain. I'm getting a fella to do some fencing and when he has his digger out I'm going to get him to dig some sort of drainage into the lawn then fill it with clean stones and cover with a bit of soil and re-seed. It's a bollox!

Lawn needs very little depth to grow to be fair. But quality of the soil might be a bigger issues. Check for Leather jackets as as well if your suffering bad growth in patches!! Humpy little feckers!!

Ive one spot in the garden which is a water pit, its getting stoned and paved as soon as lockdown is over! Fed up after 16 years

How big is the spot? Have you tried a Soak away?

Its at the side where there is no sun up against the fence and its always given me hassle, dug it up years ago, stoned it and whatever else I cant remember was fine for 2 years then it just turned into a bog, in fairness its not that big
