    Don't bother trying to pay your household charge yet - the site isn't work properly

    I managed to register, according to a confirmation email I received (although the registration process froze when I clicked 'create account'). Can't login to my account though, despite numerous attempts. It just freezes. I was also surprised at how difficult the captcha words were. When I tried...

    Grado SR80i headphones

    I know Cloney Audio in Blackrock stocked some Grados a few years back. Don't know if they still do. I have SR80s and SR325s, I got the 80s in a shop in London and had the 325s shipped by Stoneaudio.co.uk. Have you tried ebay? Like you I was frustrated that Amazon would not ship Sennheiser...

    UPC box channel display

    Thanks for the reply eirinn. I reckon the problem is somewhere at their end rather than with the box (but that's just gut feel). They have booked an engineer call sometime near the end of the month. It will be interesting to see if the problem disappears before then. Or gets worse... :D I...

    UPC box channel display

    On some channels on my upc HD PVR box the channel display is wonky. For example, on UTV it keeps typing up UTV repeatedly and does not display the programme and then stop flashing. I tried the usual unplugging trick and I also did a factory reset to no avail. upc tell me it probably because I...

    Need plumber to fit shower

    Can anyone recommend a reasonable and reliable plumber to fit a Mira power shower? It's a replacement, so the plumbing and wiring is already in place. One plumber came to do the job, but said the unit he got was faulty so now I'm left with an old shower unit in the bin and two pipes sticking...

    UPC Fibre Value +15

    I've had that package (with phone and HD recorder) for a few months and had no problems at all. Make sure you're clear on any installation or set-up costs though.

    Aer Lingus reimbursement

    The precise address on their site is: Aer Lingus Customer Relations, Volcanic Ash Disruption, Head Office, Dublin Airport. Or you can fax it to 01 886 3832. Apparently you don't send your receipts straight off. The form says that a customer services agent will contact you and "you may be...

    Well done Aerlingus

    For people who got refunds from Aer Lingus, did they include airport taxes and was there any deduction made? I made refund claims on two flights back on 17/19 April and received credits yesterday but I can't work out how they arrived at the amounts. The totals don't even come to the amount of...

    NTL in bedroom upstairs - same channels as downstairs

    To avoid interference with your wireless broadband you need to get a 5.8GHz video sender. I had a 2.4GHz one at first (like the one in the link above) and when I had the wireless BB on it played havoc with the tv picture. But when I switched to a 5.8GHz one I never had a problem again. [broken...

    Vista Home Premium

    Depending on where you work your company may have a licence that permits you to buy a low-price copy of Office for home use. I got one for about €17 last year under this arrangement. Check with your IT department.

    Sky broadband?

    Cheers. If they did, I think that would clinch a move over from UPC. :)

    Sky broadband?

    Sorry if it's a dumb question, but do Sky provide broadband services in Ireland? Thanks.

    Wrong forum Credit crunch effect on business for accountants and auditors

    KPMG are doing this in the UK, but I haven't seen the Irish firm following suit at this stage. You could be cynical and say that the accountants and auditors do well no matter what the market does. In a boom the number and price of audits go up, and in a bust the number of receiverships and...

    The Role of Auditors

    Now I'm clear on your points. You don't actually understand the disclosure requirements for banks. That settles it at last. Took me a few posts to work out though :) You're absolutely correct. And, of course, there is no requirement for banks to disclose the existence of, or movements...

    The Role of Auditors

    Why would you have audit procedures to detect something that neither presents a material risk nor is subject to a disclosure requirement? :confused:

    The Role of Auditors

    "assume" - that's what I mean, all you can do is assume when you don't have the information. What benign view? All I've said is that I'd like to see the facts. I know that's a boring view and it's easier to rush to judgment, but hey, I'm strange ;) I take it you were a member of their...

    The Role of Auditors

    There is absolutely nothing at all in the letter that suggests the auditors at Anglo did not do a complete and correct audit. There is an enormous amount of muddled thinking, guesswork, supposition and hysteria in the media about all of this (and in this thread too). A lot of people seem to...

    My Hotmail Account

    This might help? Read right to the end. I just Googled "can't open hotmail messages in Firefox". Good luck. I know it's a pain changing your email address if you've used it for years. I use Firefox and have no problems with Hotmail at all. Cheers.

    Interior Designer Recommendation

    Re: Interior Designer Reccommendation A few years back I needed to get curtains for living, dining and bedrooms. I had used an interior designer previously but felt this job might be a bit too small. So I pulled out the Golden Pages and looked through the curtain suppliers list. I'm pretty sure...
