Ahhh....bingo....I thought that might be some part of it...many thanks!

I have a related question - wife has started back to work making about €400 per week gross. Currently I am taking all credits / allowances as my salary well into the higher rate and Home Carers allowance still applied. Her payslip is showing she is being taxed on a Week 1 basis and all of it...

How about getting a Prince2 accredation? I did it with Skillsolve in the Red Cow Inn and would recommend it. I know it's not online / distance learning but it was just one week of full time classes with two exams.

Does this mean you have to tell your GPS device where it is, so that it knows where it is? What will they think of next? :)

Geneva is also suffering badly on the back of the drop in Hedge Fund assets and the Madoff and Sandford scandals. Speaking to a couple of Swiss private bankers a few weeks ago they said the place was in a state of shock - there was little appetite for new business and no appetite for risk!

Hmmm...according to their website "Darier is not a stockbrokers [sic] and is not involved in handling of client monies." If that is the case how is one supposed to buy and sell? I would stay away!

Credit to OP on boards: A concerned customer asked his stock broker if the recent market decline and volitility worried him. The broker told him that he has been sleeping like a baby. “Really?!?” replied the customer. “Absolutely,” said the broker, “I sleep for about an hour, wake up, and...

You're just jealous!!!:p

Not really is a cash facility like the one in 2 College Green - they take in and process large commercial lodgements and organise the cash deliveries for some branches and ATM's.

I agree with both these points. My guess is that somebody within the cash centre in BoI either offered up or was pressured to reveal operational details about the bank. The kidnappers would have been aware of the average holdings / lodgements at the time and probably would have demanded a...

I lost my job in November - got a new one in January but had to effectively take a 50% pay and benefits cut. I am currently paying nothing into my pension, I have no death in service benefit, no income protection, no bonus or any other perks - I consider myself lucky to have the job! - I work in...

Picassoman, how is the signal quality and strength for you via the home plugs? I have often wondered if they are worth a try.

As a slight aside but related nonetheless; have Income Protection rates increased in the last 6-12 months given the changing status of the economy? I realise that Income Protection is NOT redundancy protection so technically there should be no change, but just wondering.

I agree....and while you're doing that you could complain to your local garda community officer who might be able to have the local patrol swing by regularly to make sure there is nobody messing with your bush.

I don't agree and I believe that that is a very short term view. Certain fundamentals of banking are, in my opinion, immutable and the support of these is vital if the financial services industry in this country is to ever recover. All this is predicated on the assumption that the golden...

As a customer of Anglo Irish Bank as a depositor and a borrower I do not want any shareholder (i.e. my nosey neighbour!) knowing my business. One of the fundamental principals of banking is that your business is confidential. If I am one of the golden 10 and I have done nothing wrong why...

Yeah right....as they say on boards...."pics or it didn't happen!" :p

No....orts girls just studied archaeology and sociology and waited around for a rich husband :p

When buying a commodity ETF I have seen it recommended that one looks at the impact of conatango in the market. If I understand it correctly you need to look very carefuly at the make up of the etf to see how contango affects the price. If the etf is trading short term futures it can...

If the situation was reversed, ie lodging an Australian cheque to an Irish bank account then the cheque would be sent on a collection basis - the Irish bank sends the cheque to the australian bank and asks for payment to be sent electronically. the Irish bank would normally charge a minimum fee...
