I'm a qualified Chartered Accountant but don't work as an accountant or auditor anymore (haven't done in 8-9 years) and am highly unlikely to again. I'm considering giving up my membership of the Institute as frankly the fees are very high and I get little to no benefit (given my current career...

They were hardly "gimme" kicks. One was from his own half!! He also set up the first try with a great kick. O'Gara came on and set up the winning platform with a great kick. Two great players. No need for a Ronan V Jonathan debate. The team won. It's about more than the starting 15 these...

The EUR / USD rate hasn't gone near 1.20 in the past few days. It has been around 1.35. To be honest unless you are getting a very large amount of cash the amount you save or lose is quite small.

I'm not 100% sure where to post this so feel free to move. On Friday I found out that SDCC are changing their bin collection charging system from tags to a top up card. I discovered this because An Post put some junk mail in my door about topping up in their shops. Needless to say I've...

Thanks for your response. I'm asking the question (for my friend), I thought that was one of the purposes of this website, to ask questions and hopefully get answers to them.

Apologies for the thread title, I couldn't think of how to describe it accurately. Perhaps someone might be able to help me with the query below. I'll describe the situation first. A foreign friend of mine was married to an Irish man, they had 2 kids, got divorced, she moved back home (out...

Re: Took details of Litter Bug I reported a guy I saw littering / dumping illegally to the litter warden. It went to court and he got fined by the judge despite the fact that he denied doing it. So it is definitely worth reporting these things and having the warden chase them up.

It was because St Mary's were in the Senior Schools Final on Sunday. They lost 11-10 to Belvo.

Bank's funding costs increased substantially in the last few months of '07. If the cost of the bank's funding their loans increases than it is only natural that that will be passed onto customers, otherwise it would be costing them money to lend to customers. Variable mortgage rates can go up...

I can see more of the road if I turn my bright head lights on, however that doesn't mean I'm going to drive around with them on all the time. So my adivce is turn off your fog lights as it's illegal if there's no fog and start a thread about "spot" lights if you wish to carry on discussing them.

I was in the airport a few weeks ago and used an FX ATM in the Departures area. It was at the side of the FX Desk near the escalator.

Liverpool have only 2-3 England players regularly in the team (and one of those has retired from the international team), it is similar for Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal so supporting them and being happy when the international team lose is hardly that amazing. I'm not saying I condone people...

It was Tonga, not Samoa

I saw one in Crumlin last week too. First time I ever saw a sign like that!!

Having lived in Dublin all my life, one thing I've noticed is that Dublin's population has received a healthy boost from those who not only don't hail from Dublin but in fact wouldn't dream of playing for the football team. So this should really be factored into any meaningless % of population...

Couldn't agree more, I was just about to say the same thing, but you have expressed it alot better than I would have.
