Is there many on here involved with club nurseries? How have ye handled the return to play with this group? Are parents allowed to hand around?
They actually have to stay
They complete the health questionnaire for the child so they must accompany them onto the pitch. We get them to hold the child's bottle and stat along the fence or sideline
It's up to them to keep 2m between themselves and other parents

We make them sit in their cars during training. They can put the window down if it's not raining.

I've finally cracked and agreed to strip two rooms of wallpaper. It's been there 16 years +.
1. hire a machine...I've read it can take lumps out of wall
2. Spray water and some washing up liquid on to paper leave soak and start scraping.
3. Leave well enough alone...is not an option
Please help

use a steam machine

I've a brother with flights booked from Finland into Dublin and then plans to travel home to Armagh, has anyone any idea what the story is with the 2 week isolation period can he do that at home or does he have to book somewhere in Dublin to do it? He'd be travelling with his partner and 2 young kids which is stressful enough at the best of times. Is there any update on the defined air bridge countries that was talked about so travellers from certain countries would be exempt for the isolation period?

See the local Primary school getting a delivery of Portacabins. I can recall getting a bit of ridicule for suggesting Portacabins as a potential route out of the social distancing conundrum. ???
Which school Benny - CBS?
If so numbers for the Bunscoil starting Sept are enough for 2 Rang 1 classes, could possibly be preplanning for future demand.

I've a pair of Shimano spd 520 pedals on and the left one is making a clicking when pressing down. I've seen on YouTube I can strip the pedal and fill it with gear again.

Question - what type of grease should I be using?

I've a couple of weak internet spots in the house and I'm looking at using a WiFi extender to help boost the signal. Has anyone used these before? Any recommendations?

Was thinking of getting a new bike and a child seat to get out and about with the kids a bit during lock-down. I assume a Hybrid is the way to go but would welcome any recommendations either for a bike or the child seat!
I have this cyclocross bike a year now https://www.halfords.com/bikes/adventure-bikes/voodoo-limba-mens-adventure-bike---52-54.5-57cm-frames-445554.html. Got this purely for the same reason as you, wanted something I could put a seat on/off easily enough. Works well with this seat https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-accessories/child-bike-seats/polisport-bubbly-mini-head-tube-109838.html. My youngest just turned 4 and it's no bother scooting around with him on the back.

Without the seat, I've had the bike out on the road and off road.

Taking your number with you as you move mobile operator had been the standard for about fifteen years Tony!
Well that shows how long it is she's had her number on O2. But good to know nonetheless. Is it you who has championed these Chinese phones as need a good Android phone myself - out of contract now but forever deleting stuff to make room and it's a pain in the arse (32MB).

I'm what might be described as a bit of a dweeb when it comes to phones.

A really, really good budget Chinese option is the Redmi Note 8 Pro. Can pick it up for about 200 off eglobaluk.
Would he not be better buying it from the xiaomi uk website?

I've a RedMi 3 here that the young fella uses to play games on mainly, too young to have a sim in it but it must be about 4 years old and still works with no issues.

Cambrils was brill great spot !

What type of accomodation in Cambrils would you reccommend for 2 adults and 4 kids? Had a look on the website there is this similar to an Al Fresco park type holiday, in that once you're inside the park you've access to all amenities?

Only started watching Money Heist lately. Great show. You quickly forget you are even reading subtitles.
Tried the dubbed version first and couldn't get into it at all.
Still on Season 1 but loving it so far...
the dubbing is really annoying me and I've just finished Season 1. Denver's laugh... horrendous.
Watch it in Spanish with subtitles. Didnt think I'd like it that way but honestly you forget you are even reading them after a while.
Survived Narcos Mexico like this, must make the switch. Cheers
