    Query re Vodafone contract

    It's a waste of time talking to Vodafone. I have been doing so for at least 4 years and service gets worse and worse. Last year I ran a petition locally and got six or seven hundred names. They sent out some guys to survey the area and at the end of the day I was told they had no plans to...

    I need help. Am on committee of local community building which is 13 years old with combination of storage/convection heating. Never had a problem with the heating until about two years ago and now we have complaints about the place being cold. Do these heaters lose their efficiency? Always...

    "Charity" Clothes Collectors

    Already did that and that tells me nothing, that is their promotional material. Has anyone had any personal dealings with them? And how do we know what they do with what they collect? And how do clubs benefit from this company?

    New Dishwasher - things to consider

    I had a Hotpoint Dishwasher for about 12 years, never gave any trouble. Bought a new one, usually do a lot of research on these things but thought I'll buy it locally and went and got a Whirlpool, never again, cycles take forever and the layout is anything but user friendly. Oh for a Hotpoint!

    Sean Fitzpatrick arrested

    I hope this doesn't turn out to be one law for them and another law for us. About time these people were held accountable for at least some of the mess we're in and this country saw heads roll in high places.

    Advice on buying a new camera

    No brainer, nothing to beat Canon. Changed to Nikon from Canon recently and never again. Quality, ease of use everything about it is excellent. Just take a look at professional photographers and you will find the majority use Canon and I figure if that's what they use then it's good enough for a...

    Please help - re contributory pensions

    This is not your ordinary situation. This more than likely has to do with self employed and PRSI because of the reference to her father being a farmer. The IFA came to an agreement with the minister re spouses who never worked off the family farm and PRSI. This is a little complicated. Farmers...

    Best way to get to L.A

    I go to San Francisco and much prefer the Heathrow route. Went last November with Aer Lingus to Heathrow and then United to SF and it was fine. Cost 432 which is excellent. Best carriers are Virgin Atlantic and BA but they are a bit more expensive. I would avoid American Airlines. The previous...

    Camcorders.. Which one to buy?

    I have a Sony camcorder and am a real Sony fan but my daughter has the Flip and I find it fascinating, a real little gem. If you want something just for playing around with, that's small, portable, fits in a pocket and still gives good results this is for you. Just plug it in directly to your...

    Price of farmland In Co Galway

    As someone who has been in farming all my life the price of land is ridiculous, even at 10,000 an acre. If you lived two lifetimes you would not make your money back by farming alone. At 20cent a litre would you get up at 6 or 7 o'clock every morning for ten months or perhaps the whole year...

    Wording of a wedding invitation

    I wish someone would get away from the very formal invitation wording and send out a nice friendly casual invitation. Something like "We are getting married on Thursday, January 25, 2009 and would love to have you and John join us to celebrate this wonderful occasion. The wedding will be in...

    €50,000 - where??

    Put your money in a watertight tin box, dig a hole and bury it where only YOU know where it is. At least when you want a few bob you'll know it's there and not in the pocket of some fat cat banker.
