Would a retired geography teacher not do ?

Quote from: southtyronegael on April 15, 2025, 11:37:39 PMLess than 7000 attended the game last Sunday. Pathetic crowd. Is there still alot of apathy with regards the senior team? I believe we are going in the right direction but huge game against armagh will let us know where we stand.

Are you hoping for a big Fermanagh support this weekend ?

Arsenal won't get rid of Arteta but it's inevitable he ll end up at either Real Madrid or Barcelona. Once one of them decide he's their man then I feel he ll find it impossible to turn down. Could come soon enough

Engine management light comes on in my Honda cry.
I rest the fan/ air conditioning buttons and on most occasions it does not come on again when I start the car. Halfway down the road it will come on again. Obviously something to do with the air flow
Anyone recognise this problem ?

How can the senior squad get off work to go to Portugal. Thinking of the civil servants / teachers in the squad?
Do the schools have to pay for a substitute teacher to cover for them ?
Do they  get paid when away etc etc ?

Teachers have a decent pension too; paying for it at the end of each month.

Best thing would be a changeover switch.
You'd need to get an electrician to fit one. It's a unit which is fitted beside your fuse box and is connected to a fitting which he would fit on  an outside wall. My changeover switch which I had fitted last February was £250 which included the labour
Once you buy a generator you connect the cable from it to the outside fitting , turn it on for a couple of minutes then change the switch over on your unit from mains power to generator power. Fairly straightforward operation

Excellent guidance there.
One point you made is that they  need to be started up on a regular basis. I had heard that before. That could be a bit of a nuisance having to do thst but I suppose it has to be done   Really if your electric has been cut off due to a storm you'd be content I'd imagine that your generator will run lights tv WiFi and heating. As you say you're liable to be off for a day or two at the most unless you are very unlucky. I think that of you had one at the ready it will give you piece of mind when the weather warning comes. They def are becoming more regular nowadays with their boy next door names but they are a f@@@@@ nuisance

Back to the subject of generators. It appears that a lot of people wish to invest in a generator to be ready when the next storm inevitably comes. ( they are coming fairly regular nowadays )
I was looking around and what I have found is that petrol generator's are quite a bit cheaper that diesels. Makes me wonder why this is and are the petrol ones to be avoided...
Anyone got any good advice on buying a generator for a house in the event of being cut off in future ?

For those who lost power anyone going to buy a generator for the next one?
