Wannabe Buyer Well my story is got utterly wasted in 2009 overexposed to silly price property. Upd sticks and have worked abroad since and got back on my feet a bit, all the while feeding three massive mortgages in extreme negative equity. Im now at about zero net worth on the properties and...

First check if you actually need a saorview box many newer digital TVs can recieve saorview directly (they need to be MHEG4 compatible). Most existing aerials will pick Saorview up but may need to be reoriented to a different transmitter for best reception. Also check the signal polarisation...

Yes ESTA thats what I meant when I said apply on line ...just forgot what it was called.

You need to register online and you need a machine readable biometric passport then there is no need for visa

Your TV must be MHEG 4 compliant. Digital freeview compatible is not neccessarily compliant as UK freeview is a different and older technology. The easiest wat to find out is to point your aerial to the nearest Saorview enabled transmitter and select tune digital channels rather than analogue on...

Was in Kielys in Donnybrook last weekend and saw gluten free beer .....amazing.... or maybe as I dont visit Dublin much anymore maybe everyone knows about this!

Emails can be and have been used as evidence. It is easy to forge a copy of an email but originals transmitted through Microsoft Office etc have electronic traceability. If I remember correctly a few years ago during the Celtic Tiger there was much ballyhoo about the fact that we were one of the...

Ah the memory foam mattress I spent Xmas going round the mattress shops with Mrs Highflier and this is my conclusion having bought one eventually 1. they get hot hot hot.. as was explained to me 3/4 of the heat dissapated in a normal mattress goes down through the mattress and this is much...

Tell them you are going to stand outside the bank with a sign saying "this bank cant give me the money I'm owed" and that you will send the photo to all the media. You will be paid or they will close in an hour.

You can spend not more than 183 days in Ireland in the year in question and not more than 280 days in the year in question and the previous year so I believe you will be "non resident" however you will be "ordinarily resident" until you have completed three consecutive years of non residency and...

There is no way that low rate tracker can ever be a bad deal unless banks start issuing or repricing SVRs at a loss. UK banks are giving discounts to the principal amount to buy back trackers. The only amazing thing is anybody was persuaded to enter a variable rate mortgage when trackers at less...

I got married in March ...a while ago now though... We went to Israel. Great weather and interesting. We did a week touring Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, West Bank and a week relaxing in the resort of Eilat on the red Sea. Wonderful trip even though it co incided with the 1988 Intifada uprising but well...

My belief is there is no automatic offset. Most mortgages have an assignment clause that allows the bank to sell on the loan to another institution. Indeed there was a report yesterday that loss making tracker mortgages could be taken off the banks books and sold on at a discount to help the...

Yes I know the bank can do it if the customer defaults I was just wondering if it works the other way around if the bank fails.

Hypothetical question. You have 500k in deposit in an Irish bank. You also have 500k in loans/mortgages from the same bank. Bank deposit scheme expires so your cover is back to 100k. Bank then goes belly up. Is the nett position between you and the bank then zero or could your loan be...

If your kettle is coated you may have a hard water problem. Get it tested or if its a public supply the local authority can tell you. If so you need to install a water softener.

Do you have a "hard water" problem. If you have hard water mineral deposits can stop the closing valve from closing fully allowing water to drip constantly into the head.
