    We went around and disconnected anything that wasnt being used off the wifi. Tablets, laptops,PC it made a difference. Stressful alright

    Gmail takes quite a bit of bandwidth if it's open in the background.

    I’d say there was less stress around the Cuban missile crisis 😂

    Get a water proof box and stick that router as high up a pole as you can and run network back into the house. You can power the router from the network cable too. And be done with it.

    Was cooking the tea and was getting something out of a high up press. A bottle of green food colouring fell out and the lid wasn't on right. All over my new counter tops. It's on my hands and wont come off. Tea this evening was carbonara with a green tint

    You probably need Mrs Beetons book of household stain removal. To me, most things are either water-soluble or alcohol-soluble....

    Try the alcohol first, if it doesn't work you can always drink it afterwards...

    With two small kids around & us both working from home I am finding all kinds of marks on things, permeant markers got a good run here last week, I find nail polish remover the best at removing these things.

    i think everyone is going stark crazy..................the vegan 3 (these being the 3 vegan posters who seem to be keeping the Vegan / Veg thread going) are stirring the Veg pot with crazy talk............the US election thread is going to end with a storming of Boards HQ by which side I'm not sure..........

    I think lockdown is really getting to people:D:D

    Seriously though......people seem to be just narky and short tempered at the moment................lockdown fatigue I think is really hitting home.:eek::eek:

    Them Vegans are lacking some good quality protein and it's making them narky!
    I'd wager that anyone that has a good fillet steak for dinner, washed down with a pint of milk would be very contented!

    Finding myself more and more irritable (with no reactiona) in the evenings now and its seems as if everything is louder than it actually is.
    Getting harder to find the motivation to fo a bit in the evenings too i reckon its all down to the lockdowns.

    Know the place well as my mothers people farmed a few miles out the road. Great book written by Lynda Huxley(well known ecologist in Mayo for her great work) on the lake in terms of why it is special and the pressures brought to bare on it from the 70's onwards. She rightly points out the states role in the tragic deteriation iof the lake by their agressive promotion of intensive dairy and pig production in the catchment with inevitable consequences:(

    Surely the State in recent years has been discouraging intensive dairy and pig production. Even the noose on intensive beef production is being tightened steadily.

    Not so sure about that - the likes of Teagasc et all continue to push it strongly

    Make yourself go out in the evenings. I bring the kids to the local gaa pitch straight after milking in the evening. I do a couple of laps of the track. They get a bit of a run out. Sitting in is doing no one any good

    If we don’t get out enough during the day we don’ the head torches amd head to the local woods in the dark amd do a 6k loop walk. Humans weren’t made for indoors all the time.

    Haven't been out and about all this week due to work and find the same thing happening myself, lousy form. Will be making it my business to start back on my nocturnal walks again around the fields again. Just to escape the constant doom and gloom on the radio and TV.

    You'd notice every evening getting a little bit longer.

    I'm planning on doing another Christmas dinner at the weekend for myself and father. Not sure the reasoning behind, just got it into my head during the week! January is always a bit of a bleak month anyway but we are half way through it. Role on spring.
