    Prsi voluntary contributions after early retirement

    Why are you retiring at 55? Is it health reasons or just want to finish working or massive savings though your comments suggest otherwise. Seems like a long time to eke out savings until 60 and then another 6-7 years to get state OAP.

    Ordering pharmacy items from Boots

    I always think workers in Tesco look in the majority glum and demotivated whereas more Dunnes workers look happier. I think Tesco is a bit grim and much prefer Dunnes and the 5/25 & 10/40 vouchers great. Similar not available consistently at S.valu & Tesco.

    David Hall challenged on his forecast of a tsunami of repossessions

    On the whole the work he has done and the transformative nature of his work for ordinary people pitted against the banks far outweighs any less positive aspects. None of us are perfect. You could equally say the banks, the govt, the ECB, the troika , the builders did huge damage as well as him...

    David Hall challenged on his forecast of a tsunami of repossessions

    IMHO got me a great deal when I was in arrears and then the EBS were proved to be overcharging on my BTL so they had to pay out for that too - Mr Hall is the bee's knees to me and 1000s of others. A man of action not an AAM keyboard warrior.

    Turntable - advice

    Any recommendations for a new turntable in the €500 - €600 bracket. Not bluetooth, just a regular analogue one to be played through an amplifier. Thanks.

    Untracked electronic item posted to Great Britain appears to have gone astray?

    I've experienced freakishly long delays at times on UK deliveries (to/ from) in past year or so. Electronics means its even more prone to customs hold ups. It should get there but as its not tracked - well you know the answer!!

    Transfer large amount of funds from an EBS current a/c to a mainstream UK bank current a/c

    Really looking to see if someone has actually done this at EBS to get a heads up. I already said that I will go to the branch so thats a given eventually.

    Transfer large amount of funds from an EBS current a/c to a mainstream UK bank current a/c

    Is this possible? If not what are the options? Its a six figure sum. I will check at an EBS branch but just asking in advance here.
