I would never put down artificial turf, mainly for the reasons Scott points out but also because it looks terrible after a few years and will only be fit for landfill after a decade.

Having normal grass and running a lawnmower over it once a fortnight seems to be far less work than hoovering/power washing an ugly bit of plastic in your back yard.

If you have a kid, it's a great moment to teach them the importance of looking after not only humans but plants, insects and local wildlife.  You lose that if you've put down a green carpet and call gardening gay. You also want them to feel the earth on their feet as children so when they grow up they have memories of playing in nature.

Calm down Greta.

I (the wife) literally only need to sweep/hoover(if anything’s deeply engrained in it once/twice a year. 

Am I fuck wasting hours of my life cutting it and maintaining it regularly and fucking about with brown bins etc.

We got a good up and coming company at the time to do it using good gear at an extremely cheap rate as they were trying to make a name for themselves so I won’t be needing any deviants like Mikey anytime soon.

I actually feel really sorry for you. Imagining you hoovering your lawn. Depressing life, that.

Guys guys guys,

You are literally just hoovering a small section of grass which is outside rather than taking a mower to it every few weeks.

Don’t hate the player.

Aye, laughed my tits off. Tbf he's no wrong for the most part, dealing with the lawn in the summer is a cunt, and no doubt I'll have way more moss and aw but it's nice to have a wee telly and black beastie buzzing round the place a couple times a year.

Watering yer gress int summer is one of the best activities. Numbs the mind and switch off, enjoy a nice relaxing cigarette whilst watering. Skoosh the odd passer bye with the hose too for banter, soz m8 didn't see you

Good activity for guys that hate their wives and kids like Fraggle does. Get out the house for a bit

This is the original Times Square Building (#1) in 1908, 5yrs after it had been constructed with a facade of granite and terra cotta.  All you see now is Neon shite advertising pishy products.

The Tron wasn’t the best like, was alright for a bit when I would go out during the week as was dirt cheap but agreed we really need to wrap the Irish boozers ASAP.

Was a regular haunt when I was a student. Had a bit of history to it as well but this is just another stag/hen pub now.
