Any recommendations for artificial grass and patio installation in Dublin?

Just saw on Instagram that my local pub got a crowd called Hamptons floorstore to install artificial grass out the back of the pub. Looks tidy.

Are people who do floors, landscaping, etc., your sworn enemies?

Does anyone here use Premier Sports online? Not the sky way. I signed up, but nothing I try play works - not available in your region. I signed up and tried to view, all under the guise of a reputable VPN.

Has anyone gotten this working?

[edit: Huh. Turns out when the VPN is turned off, all works well. Weird.]

Had the 2nd Covid shot yesterday (Pfizer). Whereas the first just gave me a sore arm, the 2nd gave me a sore arm plus I feel like death warmed up. Wife got moderna #1 this morning, I’ll be intrigued to see how she feels tomorrow.

She should be fine. It's round 2 that'll hit her a bit too.

On a totally different note, thought I had introduced my daughter (12 now) to all of the timeless classics from the 80s and 90s. Mrs Doubtfire, back to the futures, indiana Jones (not the 4th one!), short circuit, goonies, princess bride, flight of the navigator, look who's talking, and so on...

Just rediscovered speilbergs "batteries not included".

Gem.

I'd my first Pfizer dose a few days ago and was flattened that day and two days after

Exhausted, chills, headache, joint pain and a severe sore throat

Yup covered those too.
Have to wait for her to be a bit older before I show her "see no evil, hear no evil" though 😊

Jumanjii (both old and new versions) went down well.
School of rock, never ending story, avatar... Still at a point where on a Saturday after dinner she trusts me to choose the movie.

Think I've nothing left at this stage though.
They don't make 'em like they used to. And she'd verify that!

The most recent movies that she got a good laugh out of was the "night at the museum" saga.

Anyone else add to this list? Surely we haven't seen them all?!

I got hot flushes that set in about 15 hours after Pfizer #2 and lasted about 24 hours, but apart from that didn't feel too bad at all. Wife had AZ #2 on Thursday and no reaction save the sore arm, her sister got it same day and was in bits. Highly variable reactions seems to be the story, but a small price to pay. Already enjoying the vaccine bonus, have my parents visiting this weekend for first time in 9 months

Just had the most amazing burger ever. For any northsiders if you haven’t tried it. Fish & Meat Bone on the Clontarf Road, does by far the best burger in Dublin, possibly anywhere. We dropped in to get the monkfish & Scampi, which is also pretty good too. My better half always wants that extra thing from the menu, so we got the burger. Really good beef patty, you would know it’s good quality meat used. Then it’s topped with pulled beef. All in all I couldn’t recommend it more. Only draw back with the place is the chips are bang average.
