Anyone got a battery operated lawnmower? My petrol one near done, was looking at options. Any good??  Maintenance must be minimal??

Bought an electric McGregor from Argos a couple of years ago, the petrol Honda finally bit the dust and I needed something quickly.
Have to use a long extension cable, but for £60 she's a belter. Plan was to replace it that summer, still cutting away

Arsenal should have gone for the win when they played City. Nobody else is good enough to take points off them. Going for a draw was naive by Arteta.

Gone for the win when City were battering us, have a day off. Lazy comment that there

Would you have the area for a robotic mower?

I'd love one but patches of my lawn are like a bog for a good part of the year. Might need a hovercraft version.

[There were plenty of funerals up and down the country that did their best to stay within the rules, and failed but Storeys will only make the news.]

My father had his service from the same church, we had the 30 or so that was allowed but from the short journey from his home the place was packed with mourners, and outside the church it the service was played on a screen

Great clubman of ours had his funeral during that period, plenty lined the streets and we insured distance and so on..

There were plenty of funerals up and down the country that did their best to stay within the rules, and failed but Storeys will only make the news.

It's embarrassing that it's still a bone of contention, that said, it was always going to come back and bite them in the ass.

But did MON actually  break the rules ?

She said she was one  of the 30 invited to attend the funeral.  If ten more came into the  church , is that not  the church's responsibility to keep them out?


A neighbour of ours died during covid , and  at that stage  the number for funerals was  30 (possibly  40). We watched the mass on  video at home  , and  from seeing the crowd going up for communion it looked a  lot more.

Now ,  I'm assuming between the family/undertaker/priest they had to make  a list of the 30 who were to attend. Obviously it looked like more than 30 attended , but if more  came in through the door ,  who was responsible for breaking the rules?  The church? Undertaker?  The deceased man's family?

Not SF anyway, right?

Roscommon 3-5 to 0-7 winners against Galway in Tuam in the Connacht minor semi final tonight.  Roscommon v Mayo Connacht final next Friday in Hyde Park home and away arrangement as with senior level but different to U20 whereby neutral venue was chosen for the final.


Also tonight Sligo beat Leitrim 1-9 to 0-11 in the Shield final.

It's that Gaa social podcast with niblock and mcconville on the bbc.  He came across not too bad. I don't think mcconville is a fan either from listening to it.

Not sure if she personally broke the rules, never seen an official list, that's immaterial though.

The reality was that it made the news because members of SF who were in government were 'seen' to flaunt the rules

That was and is an own goal. Those responsible? Those that turned up who weren't invited I'd assume?

Not the responsibility of the family though, no controlling that
