I don't even know what mine craft videos are but my friend's son loves making videos to upload to YouTube. I'm visiting soon and want to give him something. He's 11. Any suggestions? Don't have a maximum budget but it's the first time I'm meeting him so don't want to be stingy. Thanks.

I did a safari years ago at Madikwe game reserve in Botswana. http://www.madikwegamereserve.co.za/ It's within easy reach of Jo'burg, is malaria-free and the food was out of this world! We did dawn runs followed by a massive breakfast and late night runs to watch all the eyes in the grass! It...

Hi Emeralds, No idea whether she still has the policy documents. Would have to ask her outright or have a root around at home. As to how she kept up payments, not sure about that either as I was very young at the time and it's not something that was ever spoken about. On marriage in the 1960s...

My parents bought a house in the 1960s with a mortgage from the now defunct Civil Service Building Society, and mortgage insurance from RSA without any choice in the matter. My father died in the 1970s leaving my mother with 4 young children. She continued to pay the mortgage until it was...

cheers Paddy. Harry

My February mortgage payment wasn't collected last Friday although sufficient funds in my account. My separate overpayment to my mortgage a/c went through though. Could this be SEPA related? I won't be able to speak to my branch until tomorrow morning.

Have looked on Skyscanner FAQ page but can't find an answer to my query. When I was checking flights to Turkey for next spring, two airlines were displayed as having direct flights to my destination airport. When I revisited Skyscanner this week, one of the airlines is no longer listed...

Find funny: St Stephen's's's Day

Travelling to NYC next spring and want to pick up some golf gear. I've looked at the Jersey Garden website but they don't have a dedicated golf shop. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance. HMC

Any good excuses for not attending these? The latest involves the guy I share an office with who's leaving after 3 years. He's ok, bit of a brown noser, but there's worse crimes. Cue yet another lunch, card and collection. I can put up with the collection (just about) but the lunches, no...

Last month I submitted a form 11E and asked Revenue to calculate my 2012 tax liability on rental income and preliminary tax for 2013. The notice of assessment states "Year: 1/1/2012 to 31/12/2012' and the amount due by 31/10. I presume this does not include the preliminary payment for...

Firstly, hands up. I signed up for this product in 1998 with an IFA I knew, while working in an EU country and had only a vague idea of what the policy involved. I cashed in the maximum allowed some years ago when I took time off work, stopped payments altogether, and am now thinking of...

Hello, one of us wants to play tennis (with tuition preferably) and the other golf (tuition not essential). Any suggestions where we could combine our interests in Europe and which would still be warm at end October? I've looked at La Manga but it's very pricey for a week. Hotel preferred rather...

I said to an Airtricity seller that I would have to think about it. He had no literature to give me to read either. Then he said "sure what's there to think about, it's a no-brainer".

I would give Torrevieja a swerve; it's a dump.

If you want sun, golf and nightlife, how about Vilamoura on the Algarve? Fly to Faro. Some of the larger hotels offer complementary shuttle buses to and from the major courses and they can also book your rounds for you. I've played Lanzarote's 2 golf courses and liked them both, but Vilamoura...

Thanks for your replies. The chimney expert has filmed inside chimney breast and issued his quotation: E3,600 plus VAT! My mother can barely speak.

Are you sure it's not foxes fouling your garden, or dogs? Foxes don't care where they poop and it stinks. I've seen their deposits in the middle of my mother's driveway. Cats are very particular about their bathroom habits and bury their mess.

My mother needs her chimney re-lined, apparently. There are holes in the sides following a fire many years ago. She has had a man to the house (recommended by local hardware shop and he is in yellow pages, with some guild accreditation). She asked him for a quote but he said "the insurance will...
