Long time since I've been on a treasure hunt - used to be popular when petrol was cheap!

Boss, Homeland and Boardwalk Empire are all finished At least Spartacus starts next month I am Spartacus !

Got an email last night into my spam box purportedly from PTSB saying that unusual activity was detected on my account and that they had blocked it. I was requested to supply my sign ins etc on a form and that the account would then be reviewed. When I called PTSB this morning, they said it was...

Just had two young wimps knocking at the door wearing Airtricity jackets and asking 'can we convert you back to Airtricity?' I told them No! They said then that they wanted to inspect my meter. I told them No! They then said 'Are you over 18'? I am 61 years of age! I spoke to several...

The wife got a return flight last week with Etihad to Sydney for €850 in October when the weather is nice. Bondi can be expensive though - about AUD2k a week rental.

Now that I have reached the age of 60, I have decided to reduce my working week from 5 days to 3 days with the approval of my employer. I have the option also of drawing down my private pension and lump sum immediately. I expect my pension to exceed my reduced working salary. My question is...

Like the Wales,NI, and Scotland teams, our football too has collapsed. This feature to me is because of the growth in numbers of foreign players in the Premier League due mainly to the wealth of money put up by Sky, and also because of the increase in ownership by oligarchs. The England team...

We would have been better off playing translator Manuela Spinelli against the Germans tonight! I feel sorry for those Irish fans who showed up. BTW, are we paying her salary or is it the Italian or Dennis O'Brien?

Pep Guardiola had his time-keeping incidents when he coached Barcelona, the side famously arriving two minutes late for a kick-off against Osasuna in December 2010 when an air traffic controllers' strike forced them to make the trip by road.

I was issued with new BOI Debit Card in the last month or so. I have noticed that several, but not all, shops and garages in my area do not now offer cashback - this was available with my old Laser card. Is this a problem with my card, or is it a function of the Merchant not being up to date...

And the password is 'Cheers'

Surely 'sports' like dressage, gymnastics, gymnastic-rhythmic, gymnastic - artistic, synchronised swimming, diving etc, should be dropped from the games. While I am a keen sports fan, I just don't see these activities as sport. They are surely more of an art form than sport. There is no physical...

Alan Green is so biased in favour of the northern clubs - he resents the 'southern softies' London clubs. I remember about five years ago, he was filling in at half-time during a match , when the PA announcer said in the background that they were looking for the owner a car - reg. number etc...

And the classic westerns in which the good guys wear white hats and the baddies black

I have been working for the last 30 odd years and have paid all my taxes. I remember 1976 when we had a Dutch auction by the two main parties in order to get into power. Rates was the big one (say €1,000) and was abolished as a vote getter by FF. This was the start of our economic downfall and...

I agree with everything said. This new look is unrecognisable compared to the the old version and hard to get around. It does not give me any confidence that the transaction is done - have to keep checking my balance. Is it the IT dept's responsibilty or the Marketing Dept's? Either way I...

Can I enter a clause in my will that if any beneficiary objects legally to the distribution method or amounts bequeathed to indidviduals named in my will, that that person is immediately excluded from benefiting from the will? I just do not want people to be arguing after I am gone!
