    Welcome back & happy birthday Bowie!!!

    Well, whilst not quite suggesting that you eat those words, The Next Day is sounding like pretty serious quality! As suspected, Where Are We Now is not at all typical of the album. Easily his best work since Outside (95) and stands up very respectably among, lets say the less than totally...

    Welcome back & happy birthday Bowie!!!

    I'm a HUGE fan but will happily admit that Tin Machine was sh1te. I heard the whole of the new single and whilst it's not amazing, don't worry, it's nowhere near Tin machine level! Remember Thursdays Child from about 2002 ish? It's about that level in terms of quality. It even sounds similar...

    Welcome back & happy birthday Bowie!!!

    What a cool surprise. 66 today and out of the blue, after nearly a decade of silence & much speculation, a new single: the stately, competent (if a little dull IMO) "Where are we now" & a new album sheduled for March!! Fantastic news. Really thought he had given up for good and I had accepted...

    Temporarily disabling Vodafone mobile BB?

    Hi I need as much CPU power as possible due to resource hungry music software I'm using and along with AV it seems that the BB program is using a lot. Is is straightforward to disable this and simply re-enable if I need to go on line? I'll never be on-line when I'm using the music programme...

    Another abortion referendum?

    Of course not. What kind of a question is that?

    Another abortion referendum?

    Personally, I'd prefer if the country was portrayed as something half resembling a 21st century modern society. It has taken us long enough to (mostly successfully) shake off the image of a superstitious, ultra conservative and disorganised backwater and this certainly doesn't help. I think...

    Another abortion referendum?

    I never thought I'd say this, but this actually makes me ashamed and embarrassed to be Irish.

    Adverts on Donedeal: Cash for cars

    In the end I exercised my right to be prejudiced and to make assumptions based on manner/accent of those I spoke to - suffice to say I'm not taking up their offers, boss.

    Adverts on Donedeal: Cash for cars

    Yeah OK, but I don't see the point in this case - I'll just say no if I don't like the price & he'll have wasted a 200 mile round trip. No skin off my nose - I'm not going anywhere and neither is the car. Just seems odd.

    Adverts on Donedeal: Cash for cars

    Has anyone seen these? Mobile numbers offering to pay cash for your car (any condition, running/not running etc) which they will collect. Phoned a couple and they seem a bit fishy. Was offered an acceptableish figure before they had even seen the car. Anyone know anything about these ads?

    Beaumont hospital from M1 north

    Thanks Sounds strightforward - so do I simply follow sign post for city centre/port tunnel or does it say something else?

    Beaumont hospital from M1 north

    Hi Rarely drive in Dublin and a little concerned with M50/port tunnel and all that crack about taking a wrong turn. Coming in from M1 north is there anything I should ensure I do/don't do? I've heard it can be a little confusing.

    Black Sabbath:BBC4 9:00pm Tonight

    It was only OK IMO. I'm a huge fan (of early Sabbath, NOT of later and not necessarily of Ozzy solo) and will lap up anything but I thought this was a bit dull for some reason. The studio guys were a bit dour or something and both Tony Iommi & Bill Ward tend to be a bit serious too. Even the...

    "Seal" when replacing tail light?

    Hi Need to replace a tail light for an Almera hatch (it's a complete "cluster" type thing) and I got the light from a breakers. Haynes manual mentions something about using a seal - any idea what exactly this is or where I could get it? Is it like the types of seals you get for house...

    Temp maybe being groomed for job

    Thanks - yes, in permanent employment. There is a chance the role could be redefined I suppose but they might have a hard job wriggling out of that one in a small company though.

    Temp maybe being groomed for job

    Hi Looking for some advise on behalf of a friend. Small company availing of unpaid work experience person in the near future. Looks like their role will involve much of what my friend is already doing (which is varied) and they will be required to train them. Their fear is that once the new...
