    Goodbye Newstalk 106

    I'll still listen to Newstalk as RTE is rubbish. I do agree that the morning show was much better with Dunphy or McWilliams. With the way they treated David McW you get a feeling that what goes around comes around. Although Gilroy was good as the original off the ball presenter. Orla Barry...

    On the lighter side of things-how to get a rich man!

    Yes, unless they're stunners I'd say they're going to be wasting their time. A single guy with old money ain't going to be interested in a bunch of golddiggers. It's all too crass. You might get somewhere with new money if you're a victoria beckham/kerry catonia type. AKA a media whore moron.

    Ridgewood (Swords)

    I don't think it's too bad. Has the small tesco, doctors, pharmacy which is handy. I think maybe the only problem is that you are not directly on a bus route there, as 41c is around the corner.

    BOS - Halifax rebranding

    I agree that it's just the UK parent viewing the Irish market as a bolt on to 'the mainland'. It's also cheaper to launch an existing brand rather than come up with a new one unique to Ireland. BOSI was a a bit of a mouthful though.

    Allen Carr dies

    Allen Carr who has helped millions stop smoking worldwide (including me) has died. He had been given 6-9 months to live back in July but only lasted about 3 months and died at home in Spain this morning. This guy saved my health and also saved me a fortune when I stopped smoking after reading...

    Gym in Santry

    Tell me about it. I just joined a while ago for €525 for 13 months. Next thing I see the prices fall away for 12 months. Also compared to Alsaa it closes very early at the weekend. 6pm (really 5.45) Sat and Sun, I mean sometimes people want to work out on a weekend evening.............

    Is an Eircom League club a good buy?

    It always seemed to me that if a semi pro or pro league was to be sustained there would have to be cull of clubs. There are too many as it is, and some mergers would be the right approach (Derry and Finn Harps, Dundalk and Drogheda) but this is unlikely due to local squabbles I know. Maybe 8...

    Is an Eircom League club a good buy?

    Yes Dundalk should be in the Premier. Otherwise it's like having Liverpool playing in the championship. Probably the same goes for Shamrock rovers:rolleyes:

    Is an Eircom League club a good buy?

    I think it's pretty clear that football clubs in Ireland have lost money for decades so if people are sniffing around looking at it as an investment I think they must be desperate.

    Buying a PC now or waiting for Vista?

    I'm wondering if I should dive in and buy a PC now before christmas or wait for one with the new Vista software in February? While it may seem obvious to wait the two downsides I see are that I expect prices would reflect the fact that the '07 machines have Vista, plus you could end up getting...

    Brides of Franc

    this is fine if you can afford it all and you're marrying Jlo or somebody. But I'm sure there are many people watching this on very average incomes who suddenly feel obliged to go for all the trappings. It's probably all bunged onto the mortgage then to be paid off over 20-30 years. It's all...

    Port Tunnel Open - when?

    I don't know what route they're using but when the little darlings aren't being carted around in 4x4s traffic everywhere lightens up considerably. Also when it's wet and rainy, like this morning, traffic all around the port tunnel works get stuffed up. In my day you'd walk 10 miles to school...

    Port Tunnel Open - when?

    I expect most of the kids would be finishing around that day so the first real test of how the filter from tunnel onto M50 is going to work will be first Monday in January after New years day. The 8th. Hopefully it's not rainy then too.;)

    New Cinema Swords

    I went there to try and watch the departed, but it was in a VIP cinema only:rolleyes: The cost of this was €19. This is ridiculous amount to go see a film in the cinema. Also the times advertised in the paper were all wrong, so it's only half open at this stage. Still, it's better than...

    Dodgy Car Dealer

    I'd never buy privately, but after finding out that were I bought my last car was done for 'clocking' a few months ago, I'd say be very wary of anywhere but the main dealers.

    Swords Central Apts

    Swords is a bustling place at the moment. The Metro announcement seems to have given a shot in the arm to things, offsetting some of the negative sentiment out there in general. Pavillions is developing as a nice shopping centre IMO, although the traffic around there on Saturday and Sunday...
