    Sensa Bikes - Looking for real retailers

    Thanks vandriver. I am specifically looking for one of their racing bikes, and that particular retailer seems to limit its model range to city / utility bikes. So I think I will need to spread the net wider.

    There has been a lot of debate recently in my company about its plan to introduce a mandatory 2-week period of annual leave on all employees as it believes not doing so could be seen as a failure in its Duty of Care towards its employees. The feared outcome in not enforcing this is an increased...

    Think Contraception TV ads

    I do have a problem with the ads. 1st, the timing. I think they are on too early. I couldn't tell you what the threshold is, but both my kids 4 and 7 were watching TV recently when the ads came on. 2nd, the content. Why is it that someone someone snogging (1st base) should be made feel...

    Rent allowance tenants. yes or no.

    I think it is merely a logical way of handling the distribution of funds. I suspect it is indeed Dept of Social ... funds but administered from HSE local offices by the CWO.

    Rent allowance tenants. yes or no.

    With RA, you are fairly safe in terms of "ability" to pay the rent, given that the RA part of the rent is as good a guaranteed income as the tenant is likely to have. "Willingness" to pay the rent is another story. I have been through two RAs and on both occasions, RA was paid to the tenant...

    Military Police Speedchecks

    On my way to work yesterday, I came across a parked Military Police jeep and the occupant was aiming a radar speed gun at oncoming traffic. A curious sight. Do they have jurisdiction over public traffic? I did not see any military convoy en route.

    Just watch the luggage space. We got a Renault Espace last year for 6 people, but the boot space was limited, so we needed the room created by the 7th seat folded down for the luggage.

    As long as you are driving a local car (does not matter where), the driver is always on the side near the middle of the road. If you ask yourself the question "which side should I be on in order for me to be in the middle of the road" at every junction, you won't go far wrong.

    In July, there won't be a huge change in VRT for new model, so probably not much of a shift for import either. [broken link removed] [broken link removed] The above links suggest applicable VRT rate will change from 30% to either 28% (2.0 VVTi) or 32% (2.2 D4D), so not a huge change in VRT...

    Re-insulate

    I know the original post is quite old at this stage, but one point in there that remains open I think relates to the suitability of stone-cladded walls to the use of the pumped insulation solutions. Does it require removing stone, or are the holes so small the refill afterwards can be easily...
