Thanks for the reply. I did that. Apologies, should have called that out in the first post. I know there's regulatory bodies for the actual insurance companies, wondering if there is one for the other side. There is nothing on yer man's website to indicate membership of any organisation that...

Hi all. Bit of an odd case here. Our motorhome was damaged recently, and we sent if off to someone for a repair quote. The quote came back at an eye-watering €65K We asked for a quote from a second provider (an established market-leader in Ireland) and got a quote for the same work, but for...

Thanks (again) for both your comments. I've literally no idea what I'm doing :D so this is all very helpful - food for thought. Don't think we will be taking the big plunge until 2019 but I think next summer we could try a week in Ireland and take it from there. Yeah I know this is slow, but...

Hi folks, Thank you all for the advice and opinions. @Slim I'll pick up a few of those magazines - good idea. @fraggle I've bookmarked that site :) I don't know enough to pick any brands yet, but at least I can get a feel for prices etc. I like the idea of trying it out in Ireland first. I...

Hi, My wife & I are considering bringing our family (us & 3 kids) and taking July & August off some year, and touring around Europe in a motorhome. I've started looking at different motorhomes but it's difficult to get solid information and "floor plans". Most of the sites I've seen so far are...

Hi Currently a Sky customer. Not under contract so investigating alternatives. Obviously Virgin/UPC is an option, as is staying with Sky. Wondering if we need to bother with monthly payments for TV though. Most of the channels we watch are available on saorview or freeview. So the simple...

That's useful, thanks Leo

Hi all Currently shopping around for a 7 seater. The Citroen looks like a solid option and I see plenty of them around. I've noticed the car picks up plenty of awards, but I'm looking for a driver's opinion. I suspect the awards only rate the car at point of sale, and don't factor in how it...

Hi I've been looking for a stream of the above. Can't find it on youtube, irfu, etc Been googling it for a while now but no joy. Maybe I'm using the wrong search criteria Can anyone help me out?

Santa Fe now shortlisted. Thanks for the tip

Hi folks In the market for a 7 seater, and have a few key requirements Looking for a car that has 7 seats, not 6.5. Don't mind if the back 2 seats are only suitable for children, but I've noticed the middle of 3 (in the second row) is quite small in many 7 seaters Also, I'd have a massive...

Look up something called an iTrip. Works on an iPod (yes it's around a while) but uses standard headphone socket so should do the job nicely. Low strength FM frequency...

Cyclists are not supposed to be on the footpaths Motor vehicles are not supposed to be in the bike lines either, yet this is just as common an occurence. In general it seems to me that bike lane markings are ignored by most drivers. Drivers are not supposed to "cut across" a cyclist either, yet...

Agree with dub_nerd, Apple are good but over priced. There are plenty of other companies who produce similarly effective devices for a lot less cash. Archos, Creative, whatever. Also, if you're prepared to spend money on a player, check when you'll need a new phone and maybe get a phone with...

Thanks everyone, appreciate all the suggestions. Sorry for late response. IT issues...

Hi I've a few hundred books that I'm going to get rid of. I will check the local library and see if they accept donations, and I've sent a mail to Beaumont Hospital asking if they've a library/book room and want anything. I've heard that some charity shops don't take books (space...

Gentlemen, Have enough kids and thinking of "going to the vet" Had a look online and in general it seems I'd have change out of €500, and a bit of discomfort for a few days, and would then be grand. Has anyone got anything to add to this? Thanks

Bad news but thanks for the information.

Hi Sky recently announced they will be introducing a broadband service to Ireland. Does anyone know will this be through the Sky dish, or will they be just another provider using the crappy old Eircom lines? I live in an estate in Raheny that is cursed with 1/2M "broadband" speed, UPC...

Turkish Airlines advertise special offers in the Irish Times fairly regularly. The Dublin Airport website will give you a list of any other airlines that go between Dublin and Istanbul Weather will be warm, sorta like a nice Spring day here. If you're looking for actual statistics, try...
