Short story even shorter - printer has a hardware problem which only becomes apparent after 14 months. Warranty expired after 12 months. Retailer is refusing to repair or replace the unit. What rights do you have as a consumer once the warranty period has expired?

I couldn't care less really what a Union decides to pay it's staff, and am well aware of the Indo agenda, but I just thought this comment from TUI president Bernie Ruane was funny. As ever some are more equal than others.

The way PTSB structure all their over-payments, not just this one, of taking it off the end of the mortgage doesn't feel right with me. I've asked for clarification - via someone - on this before and don't feel I've ever received a satisfactory answer. (I'm blaming the "someone" in this case...

200 Escallonias planted 2 years ago are now no better than kindling after this winter so I'm looking for a replacement. The escellonias were doing well but I'm not going to break my back planting another 200 just to see them die over the winter. I have a holly hedge which survived 100% but...

I've a friend who's in a somewhat unusual postion. 25 years ago her, then, 17 year old sister signed a 35 year on a retail unit. 5 years ago the sister moved into another unit in the same retail park, owned by the same developer, and my friend incorporated a new company and moved into the old...

I am sick and tired of the Govt talking down the economy. We continually hear senior ministers moaning about the academic and armchair economists "talking us into a recession" but they seem to be doing a good enough job of it themselves. What news? There's no budget for 2 months. For the last...

TEEU General Secretary Eamon Devoy [broken link removed] but I don't get the central point. These people have made themselves unemployable. Competitive issues do arise - you are trying to sell your services into the market, the market cannot afford the rates of pay you are asking.

Fair play to de lads down in CIE for keeping us all amused with the unbelievably far fetched sequnce of events outlined in the collapsed Malahide viaduct report. [broken link removed] With all the bad news it's good to see some people haven't lost their sense of humour. Presumably this is a...

Fair play lads. Don't let the Man grind you down. We all need to stand together these days. There no such thing as Public vs Private. We need to avoid the race to the bottom. http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/0816/stjames.html Err, hold on a sec.

Don't often venture into the Home and Gardens areas so forgive the Noobie question. Have a couple of rooms with gas fires in them. There are vents in the walls which allow a gale to blow through them. Upon inspection the only thing seperating the inside of the house from the outside in these...

I don't think I've read an article that I've agreed with more in the context of the issue of mortage default. Banks must help solve the lurking crisis in mortgage defaults We need to stop looking for wacky solutions. Facilitating the zombification of the Irish Economy through the extension...

Apologies if this a well known one but I only came across it today and will feel like quite the dumbass if I've been getting caught out on this all along. Book any UK flight such that you're charged in Sterling. After you've selected your payment type (VISA, etc) there is a delay of a...

Does anyone have an opinion on [broken link removed] that came out on Christmas Eve? I've posted this a couple of times but have struggled to constrain my disgust. Karl Whelan and Richard Bruton pretty much nail it.

Phrases which I've seen repeated ad nauseam (there's one) on AAM. Usually for a limited period of time. I can't comment pre-2006. Property only goes up in value (2006 - 2007) There's nothing safer than bricks and mortar (2006 - 2007) They're not building any more of it (2006 - 2007) Just look...

Everyone remembers the furore over the ESB workers being awarded the [broken link removed] due to them, however there was a Union guy (didn't catch name) on Matt Cooper who stated categorically that this payment has not been made and that the assumption that it had been was purely down to the...

What's the deal with regards to playing music in a shop, do you have to pay both IMRO and PPI? [broken link removed] http://www.imro.ie/

Taken from the Public Sector Attitudes thread. I'm not taking a pop at Fergus Finaly. I like Fergus Finlay, he does some really good and important work with Bernardos, but when people write Opinion peices in newspapers they gotta get their facts straight. Maybe people would like to use this...
