Can anyone recommend a Spam Blocker? A year ago I was getting so much spam I purchased MailWasher pro. I don't find it any good since the same spam recurs - to the point it is useless - in spite of reporting, blocking, blacklisting etc. I realise there are lots of experts here who know what...

What a surprise :rolleyes: A cheap programme - most of the filming shown tonight had already been shown repeatedly. When some candidates have an unfair voting advantage due to being well known (e.g. Creedon and the GAA chap) that removes any possibility of a fair voting system for the public...

In the chase to catch Michelle it looks like a three horse (man) race with Derry Clarke and the housewives choice, John Creedon, out there with a head start. That's based on the squeezing by the latter;) and the fact she was saved, for the third time, tonight by the restauranteur:o. More...

I've gone off Michelle - blubbing to stay on the show. The worst trait of a manipulative female! If her bum was shown I missed it! When the Best Man of the Wedding party went upstairs with the Bride she tried to get the camera crew to follow them - nasty. Turned out they were all actors. The...

Blobert - not sure if this will help. I too had a regular saver a/c with AIB of €300 - max allowed I think. Then around March 08 I read on AAM about the higher rate Reg Savs A/c with AIB - 7%. Having contacted AIB I found I had to apply for the NEW regular savings a/c - the usual forms etc...

I'm very happy with Utv's broadband for a few years now. Started out with ClickSilverPlus (2Mbps) which was upgraded to 3Mbps about a year ago with no extra charge. Eircom increased their charge for 3Mbs at that time and changed the name to Broadband Home Professional. It's been costing €34.49...

Hi Blossy - there's nothing wrong with feeling sorry for yourself when you feel you've been taken advantage of. It's good to let off steam and garner support from people who have had similar experiences. Lots of wise comments posted already. That builder might have had more respect for you if...

I seem to recall some reticence being expressed by posters on AAM (in the past) about the Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 upgrade. I'm being reminded again and wonder is there any reason not to upgrade now? Advice appreciated.

Not sure she's studying for her PhD which, if true, is regrettable. According to an interview in yesterday's Irish Times: At a time when it is so important to encourage science students (and others of course), a la Peter Sutherland, in a knowledge economy, it's disappointing to see such a lack...

I wasn't very impressed by the first course of F.T. either but maybe it'll get better. She may not fit the category of "celebrity" but I've always admired Evelyn Cusack, Meteorologist, and gave her a vote last night. Seems to be a cheap way for RTE to fill a bereft Summer schedule. I'm not...

Can't resist this: Irish woman looking at soldiers marching, turns to friend and says "they're all out of step bar my Johnnie". I've never been an uncritical European and always knew that we paid and repaid dearly for all those structural funds by giving away the waters around our island -...

That link to Dwelling house exemption gives all the information required - no tax being due provided certain criteria apply. I recall attending a meeting about 15 years ago - conveynors could have been Age Action Ireland or some such group. Apparently up to that time if say three unmarried...

Earlier this Summer I saw an injured juvenile magpie in my garden. It had been attacked by a cat. When I returned 3 hours later it was still alive and flapping about. The Vet (it was on Sunday) agreed to see it a couple of hours later. Unfortunately the Vet said there was nothing he could do - a...

IMO it was the worst Prime Time special I've ever seen - so poorly put together I wonder did RTE have a gap in the schedule that had to be filled at short notice? It was so bad I only half watched. Brendan Burgess performed well as did "the defendant" broker, irrespective of the rights and...

Buying shares can be as simple or complicated as you want. I went the simple way 18 months ago and invested in three shares "at the top of the market" I later discovered! If recent posters have read the key posts they should know all they need to know already. All you have to do (simple way) is...

For reasons of both cost and likely long delays (based on past experiences), I do not wish to appoint the Solicitor drawing up my Will as principal Executor. My question is - if I appoint said Solicitor as a second Executor (first being a close relative who is an Accountant), will the legal...

Thanks ClubMan. I had uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe several times yesterday but still no video even though the player appeared OK. As I mentioned, all the previous System Restore points disappeared during the process of transferring My Docs files to the spare hard drive. I didn't meddle with...

Up to a few days ago I was able to watch video on MSNBC. As the hard drive was almost full, I transferred My Documents to a second internal hard drive. I also deleted some files but recovered these from the Recycle Bin. Since then MSNBC videos don't play. There's a message on the MSNBC player...

Couldn't agree more..... the degree and extent of the misogyny exhibited by the U.S. media is enough to make me a Feminist;). The appeal of Obama decreases daily for me with his repetitious sound bites which are just plain boring at this stage. He appears to be more like a Pied Piper than a...

As an onlooker too I'm still perplexed about why E.K. didn't support H.C. so I don't understand this: I really don't know what exactly JFK did during his term of office to warrant mass retrospective adulation now seemingly being transferred to Obama; neither do I understand what exactly Hillary...
