Sorry, my mistake — I meant to say they've introduced "simpler, clearer" pricing... :rolleyes: Transaction charges other than for automated and electronic payments rise by between 25% and 50% from 23rd February. Curiously, they will now charge 1c a go for contactless payments, whereas it...

Afternoon, gentlemen. If your better half presents you with a bottle of [broken link removed] this Christmas, it may be time to get a better better half. :eek:

G'day all, looking for an opinion on the following scenario. Sorry, it's rather long-winded... Last May I switched current account from UB to PTSB, but kept an old savings a/c open with UB. I had written to my branch a week or so before the switch asking them not to issue a renewal chequebook...

G'day everyone, hope you're enjoying the bank holiday. A quick question for the experts... Until last October we were insured with Aviva Health, but I subsequently moved to Laya because of Aviva's premum hikes and the introduction of co-payments. In going over our health expenses for the past...

Mod note: split from this thread, which addresses a serious issue. To take another "clever but biased" example, Kevin Myers has a BA in History from UCD from around the same time as VB's BA in Politics and Economics. Would you consider him an "historian"? Or just a contrarian polemicist from...

Hi all, wonder if anyone has any tips for me with an odd little problem I'm having? I recently installed ChompSMS on my LG P-970 (aka Optimus Black), and within a few hours got sick of the (very invasive!) ads, so I uninstalled it. Now I can't send texts at all (although I can receive them, and...

Evening all, Daughter dearest (with whom I am well pleased) is starting a new job next month in Wigmore, near Gillingham, and has to set about looking for a place to stay, ideally somewhere between Gillingham and London and reasonably well served by public transport. It's a part of England...

There've been a few threads here lately about the new prices kicking in from 1st August and the opportunity it affords people to cancel their contract without penalty. Now, I'm already out of contract anyway, and have been doing the sums on what it would cost/save me to terminate my contract...

A man walked into the fruit and veg section of his local supermarket and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy working in that department told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce. The man was insistent that the boy ask the manager about the matter. Walking into the back...

[broken link removed] Phew!

Can anyone recommend a good, reasonably-priced compact for close-up (dental) photography, something that will autofocus without searching madly at distances of maybe 6" or so? I've been looking at a few of the available models in the €150-€200 range — Canon, Lumix, Fuji, etc — but in the short...

More [broken link removed]. To paraphrase from The Snapper - I suppose a bond buyback is out of the question?

Happy Star Wars Day to you all. :p

An elderly man lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favourite scones wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning on the wall, he slowly made his way out of the...

Evening all, A quick query for some of our resident insurance experts, or anyone else who can shed some light on the matter. I've received a renewal quotation from our broker with an 80% hike on last year's premium, which was itself higher than normal because we've had two claims — for...
