Well this house is in Ireland so different rules apply. The OP is wrapping up the shortfall into a NE loan, which is the responsible approach and avoids this lump being further added to our national debt. Some people have suggested declaring bankruptcy, which on a salary of £110k might be a stretch.

sorry am I the only one who's missing something here, the OP has a salary far in excess of the national wage and the ability to pay the debt. Yes, the house has fallen in value but there's an opportunity to rent it and pay for the shortfall. Either that or sell the house and wrap up the NE into...

Wouldn't wprry about the mileage either - a mate of mine recently got rit of a Carina with 250,000 miles on it - and sold it!

We're sailing on the Pont Aven with BF next Saturday, so will report back. The experience with Irish Ferries on the Normandy last year was especially unpleasant - capped off by finding (someone elses!!) dirty underwear in my bunk....:eek:. The combination of a boat that had seen better days...

Also watch in amazement as the people who drive a 10 minute wallk to the station will stop doing so.

I would imagine there's either a circular rubber boot or a plastic cap inside the boot, at the rear of the light, that pops off - this will let you access the lights. They can be tricky enough to replace, but a bit of practice pays off (I do an Honda Accord all the time).

How about "are you willing to sell if for a more realistic price, and reduce it by 30%?"

The RIAI (Architect's Institute) publish contracts for small works - they used to have one entitled SF88 (Shortform 88), but not sure if this is the most recent one. It's a simple contarct that covers all the main issues - unless you have specific expertise, I wouldn't advise drafting one from...

Fair enough, this was pretty obvious in my case http://www.camara.ie/contact/dropin.php

Yeah, whatever. I found a phone call useful, there are loads of other alternatives to getting roid of another PC - a grad student too kan old Pentium II off me for writing her thesis. FWIW, I wasn't charged by Camara. Sorry, I have no connection to camara, but having visited Africa and being...

They have minimum specs - Camara seem to be pretty organised. The work shop is churning out 100's of PC's for devloping countries. The employees / volunteers seem to be pretty dedicated, and will chop and change machines to get them working. They only requrie a minimuim spec for word processing...

Just drop it around - they are open until 1pm on Saturday. They took my machine, as well as a few graphics cards, CD-ROM drives, etc.

Camara will love this - I got rid of an old (and perfectly functioning) Pentium III recently. They have minimum specs that are outlinged on their website.

Unfortuneately, no. Was there at the weekend. Service is slow and amateurish. Forgetting basics on table (i.e. fork / knfie / salt poepper). Go tired of having to ask for everything.

Some trains go direct to Maynooth from connolly - the 19.05 goes direct to Maynooth in half an hour (assuming you mean 7pm:D)

Majority of trains go from Pearse / Connolly. What time of the day you travelling?

Not sure if was this forum or not, but heard about someone importing from Germany. Naturally, much cheaper than buying in Ireland.

Your local church in village where you lived - they should have the records of baptismal records.

I wouldn't bother negotiating - go to Robeplan. We just had ours fitted for 1/2 the price of Sliderobes, which we found to be outrageously expensive. Same quality, excellent service. No connection with Robeplan, other than a satisfied customer.

I have to disagree with the last post - we drove from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town and throroughly enjoyed it. The N2 (the main road that is the 'Garden Route') is a very good road with long streches and about 600 mile send to end on road that would put ours to shame. We did it over 2 weeks and...
