One person had to pay €31.50 for a return ticket instead of €18 for the single they...

    Simply Mortgages Versus Rea

    Hi brokeagain, I did opt to use one of the REA recommended solicitors which was much cheaper than some others. My experience with the solicitor they recommended was ok, I mean I had to keep chasing them but really it's the same for all solicitors (sorry solicitors, but you know it!), but when...

    Simply Mortgages Versus Rea

    Hi, I'm not going to go into a big rant about my experience with REA. What I will say is that I was not satisfied with the service I got from them at all, in fact the service was terrible, however thats just my experience and I may just be an isolated case.

    What capacity broadband do I need?

    20 GB is loads even if you do decide to download the more stuff than originally planned. If you start exceeding your download limit regularly they generally contact you and suggest you upgrade your subscription rather than immediatly capping you. Also, used to have NTL broadband and worked from...

    New Kitchen costs

    Very hard to answer without more details. Quotes I got varied hugely. If you are a bit more specific in terms of details such as granite\other worktops, appliances needed, flooring type etc people may be able to give some more accurate costs. One thing for sure is the costs vary significantly...

    can i paint over white glossed ceiling?

    I doubt that is true. At least I hope it is not! My plumbing leaked and stained the ceiling of the living room badly. A painter told me to apply a few coats of gloss as Matt won't cover the stain, then apply a few coats of Matt over the gloss.

    digiweb mobile?

    I use Digiweb 4G broadband and the network is not great so they have a lot of work to do before releasing a mobile network. I spoke to them about the poor performance and apparently they have only really started building the stations for 4G. 4G pretty much the same as 3G except it's based...

    Flying to Oz - recommend a place to break flight?

    Kuala Lumpur is an option. The reason I say so is because the express train runs from the airport to the central train station. Directly outside the train station you have the Hilton Hotel which means no taxi's, stress, or issues getting too and from the airport. Also with a 2yr old last thing...

    Sounds like the Video card in your PC could be too old for the version of DirectX running on the PC. Is this a possibility? If so you might want to try updating the drivers for your card.
