Turns out my situation was further complicated by Revenue sending the wrong (overgenerous) credit value to my employer. After a conversation with Revenue ("You are (pause) 12th (pause) in the queue, please hold...") during which an apology was notably absent, they discovered an overpayment in...
Hi,
My OH did not work in 2014 - she received Jobseeker's Benefit only for the qualifying months and did not get Jobseeker's Allowance. We are jointly assessed.
On our balancing statement for 2014, her PAYE tax credit was reduced. Per online info, it looks like this is to allow for tax due on...
Re: Zero Tolerance - What about 'nonalcoholic' beer?
LA Erdinger is one of the best if you can find it whilst out. It actually tastes more refreshing than the real thing to me at least. On prior experience though (memorable occasion where me and a pal hadn't twigged our rounds had been LA and...
Hi,
A couple of years ago I had root canal on a back molar which seemed to do the trick at the time. Recently, however, I developed an abscess in the gum which has necessitated extraction of the tooth. On examining the x-ray prior to the extraction, the dentist (a different one) noticed a...
Hi,
Got a big problem with two nearby guard dogs barking at satellite dishes, paving stones, clouds, anything on a 24/7 basis. I've spoken to a resident at the property who wasn't the owner of the dogs a while back but the problem remains unfixed. I'm guessing that - since they are guard dogs...
Unlikely to be kegs; the business name would suggest a leaning towards BSE burgers and chips. Unless ketchup comes in seriously large catering packs... I'm just assuming there must be some kind of regulation (co. council or other) to limit storage without appropriate (ie. concrete/brick)...
I'm living in a residential area of semis and a house nearby is the registered address for a mobile catering company. I'm pretty sure there are quite a number of gas cylinders being stored in an outside shed there since I can frequently hear them being dragged around. I'm just wondering if...
With respect to the original supposition, I'd say it unlikely that argon has a direct influence on microwave transmission. It's an inert gas and therefore comprised of single atoms rather than molecules - microwave heating for cooking conveys energy of rotation on water molecules since they have...
Maynooth has the considerable advantage of getting first dibs on a train seat on most morning services too; Clonsilla's very good for the train if you're happy standing (only been unable to board once in 9 years), however my own opinion is that is that I couldn't hack the hassle of elbowing my...
Re: Porterstown
Is this the old schoolhouse building you can see from the Maynooth/Dublin train ? I vaguely remember reading something about it specified on a redevelopment plan which required that it retained its status as a listed building and crow/raven sanctuary. Sort of of a "here today...
That's exactly my question - I certainly support the idea of invigilating parking restrictions where these apply eg. double yellow lines, driveways or where a special restriction (football match, half marathons or whatever) is in place. But to prevent people parking legally or even simply...
It is pretty bad but if the rules regarding parking on double yellows/obstructions were to be regularly enforced, doubtless general behaviour would improve. It's a little bizarre to consider any housing estate offlimits to "non-residents" though and, in respect of that particular area, pointless...
Hi -
Attempting to drive into the Porters Gate estate by Clonsilla Station yesterday morning, I was flagged down by a Garda who asked me if I was a resident of the estate. When I explained I was dropping my child at a creche therein, I was brusquely told "I expect to see you coming back out...
I've seen one variety of hoverfly in the garden alright and they look wasplike but rather smaller. These bees/hoverflies are at least as big as wasps if not bigger though. They seem to be coming from somewhere close but are definitely 'over the fence'.
And it's interesting to note: we just...
Similar observation with bees this year in our back garden (D15) - I think these are proper bees rather than hoverflies though. Loads of them working in relay to fly over fences then take up a brief hovering position at more or less the same place (not zig-zagging, just stationary) until...
I'm not an advocate of anonymous complaints particularly - that's not the way I've gone about it anyway. First port of call should be a face-to-face meeting (there's something vaguely threatening about unsigned letters) but where I do believe there should be an intermediate step between (failed)...
