    Hiya Just thought I'd up this because I'm in the same situation. From what I've read of the Irish tax system, Nige is correct in applying for a PAYE exclusion. According to the document here ([broken link removed]) it says: 4.3. I am being posted to work abroad by my Irish employer...

    Train Travel in Italy

    Another thing - local trains and European trains are separate. Make sure you buy the ticket for the right train! Like you might go up to one machine and it sells only local tickets, but another ticket machine will sell tickets for the newer, quicker trains. You can pre-book tickets on...

    Worst DIY of previous owners

    I removed a single strip of wood that was used to hang curtains. It would've been about 4ft long by 1inch wide. There were 21 nails in it. I think I've pulled out at least 500 nails from this property already.

    I've had this happen before as well, but with Aer Lingus - not Ryanair. I was booking a flight from Cork to Rome and the price I got was cheaper by 10euro if I booked them separately.
