The electrician I contracted to do this work had sub-contracted it to another guy. He sent the sub-contractor out to address the distribution board issues. The ring circuit now seems to be connected to just the one MCB, and he has replaced the 10A MCB with a 25A one (temporarily, apparently...

Thanks for the confirmation SparkRite, I'll be on to the electrician today to push to have this sorted out so it's helpful to know that I have a sound basis for insisting it be done. I've since discovered that another circuit, a radial one this time by the looks of it, is fed by a 10A MCB. It...

I'm moving house soon and we've had a new consumer unit fitted to upgrade the existing unit. I was working out today which sockets are connected to which MCB. Simple process of plugging something into a socket and manually tripping each MCB in turn until I found the one that killed power to that...

The stations are back now. I'm being made painfully aware of this by the annoying sound of The Archers in the background!

I rang UPC just now. I was intending to complain to them if they were planning not to restore BBC analogue, but while I was on hold their automated phone system threw back an announcement that they are currently working to resolve a "fault" whereby BBC radio stations are currently not working...

Something else to note is that on the flyer they state that the max weight limit on a 240L bin is 40kg and on a 140L bin is 25kg, according to South Dublin County Council Bye-Laws. These are indeed the weight limits listed in [broken link removed]. However what is not clear is what Access Waste...

For info, Access Waste's website seems to have been sorted now in that once you've logged in the page for submitting credit card details is now protected/encrypted. The initial login step is still not encrypted though, but that's sadly a failing of many websites. A different problem, but the...

I moved from Greyhound to Access Waste and received my account information today. I went to their website (www.accesswaste.ie) to pay into my account. Login access to my account is not SSL protected (i.e. my login credentials are not protected/encrypted between my browser and the web server) -...

Some further details on Access Waste, who I am considering moving to myself, from [broken link removed]: * Max weight of 60kg for 240L bin, 30kg for 120L bin. * Replacement bins are 55.00euro each (versus 40.00euro each for Thornton, as far as I can remember) * If cancelling the service any...

Thanks a lot for the info, j26.

Thanks for that info and advice, mf1. In relation to Filestores, their current prices seem to be €95 for 5 years of storage, and €150 for 10 years of storage. It looks like the info/brochure that we received from our mortgage provider only a week ago is old, and possibly very old given the...

I've dug out the info that I referred to above. The company is called Filestores, and here is their web page on deed storage: Filestores Safekeep Deed Storage. Unfortunately, the link to their brochure on that page doesn't work so I can't find any info on their site about costs, etc. (the fact...

I am very interested in the answer to this question too, as I am about to receive the deeds for our house from our mortgage provider and we have to decided where to safely store them. Having looked only briefly at the options available, I can tell you that Ulster bank offer a "Safe Keeping"...

Security issues aside, it is worth bearing in mind Eircom's recent agreement with some representatives of the music industry over access to copyrighted material online. Eircom have agreed to implement a policy of "3 strikes and you are out" if one of their customers is identified as accessing...

I agree that there are concerns about posting the list here, but I also think that there are benefits in having posted it. There would appear to be some, and perhaps many, accounts on the last whose password hasn't even been changed yet, so presumably there remain people affected who are still...

It is not scaremongering to have stated that the list consists of compromised e-mail accounts. Based on the information available at the time it was a reasonable assumption to make, and I would suggest that the assumption is still valid assumption until sufficient evidences suggest otherwise. If...

I can confirm that the list exists, and that it provides e-mail addresses and the password for each. No-one who has seen the list (and you'd have to assume that amounts to a lot of people at this stage - if I was able to find it than anyone can) can provide a link to it, or shouldn't at least...

I recently bought an attic ladder from . They were able to supply the Fakro LWK Comfort for €150 including VAT, which is a very good price for a good quality ladder. They didn't charge me delivery as they were delivering in my area already. They were very good to deal with and I'd happily buy...

I bought the Roberts WM201 (http://www.robertsradio.co.uk/Products/Internet_radios/STREAM_201/index.htm) a few months back and have been very happy with it. Sound quality in particular is excellent, it supports Realaudio (needed for most BBC radio stations), it hooks into the BBC Listen Again...

I've read somewhere that feather duvets and pillows should not be dry-cleaned. I think one reason was that the chemicals used might harm the feather filling and make it less effective, another reason was the risk of chemicals being left behind in something that you spend several hours per day in...
