My wife and I bought our house nearly three years ago. We used one of the two firms of solicitors who were closed down in a much publicised case in late 2007. After the Law Society had gone through the files, we were contacted and the entire file relating to our house purchase was handed over to...

I don't know, but I'm also thinking of changing. My (related!) question is what happens to the old oil tank and boiler and how can they be disposed of?

This has been covered several times before. The law states that it is illegal to sell smoky coal within several areas in the country, but it is not illegal to use smoky coal. So-called 'smoky' coal is usually Polish coal and burns better and is less messy than the smokeless coal. Turf is...

We used on-line check-in last weekend and we had one bag to go into the hold. We printed our boarding cards before getting to the airport, then handed in our bag and showed the passports at the check-in desk. It's all much the same as before, except that you print your own boarding cards. About...

I don't have a tip, but you're not alone. The same thing happened to me. I was able to play other programs, but when I tried to view one in particular, it just sat there. In the end, I just deleted the program.

If you're running Windows, you should be able to open Control Panel and check the Sounds to see what system event that sound is associated with. If you're lucky, it won't be a generic event like "Question". You might be able to narrow your list of possible causes.

Perhaps because they are written for the home mechanic who might be more likely to go to their local motor factors for small replacement parts than to the parts department of the main dealer?

Whether you were on company business or not at the time seems to me to be irrelevant. If it's a company car, it's a company bill. Supposing you didn't have €120 to spare? What would happen then? It's still a lot of money...

It might be time-consuming, but it could also be a unique selling-point that you could use in your advertising... Personally, I find the bases that Domino's use to be too 'crumby', i.e. I feel I have to wash my hands almost after each slice.

Sorry. That article dates back to November 2006. :(

I doubt it - they would probably be nicked! Apart from that, everyone deals with grief in a different way. I don't think anyone has the right to refer to another person's way of dealing with the death of a loved one 'stupid' or 'sick' or 'crazy' any other knee-jerk remark. Some people think...

Hi all, Read this post carefully, because I am not looking for information on how to reset an unknown password in Vista. I am looking for information on how to remove the option to reset the password in Vista if a local user password is entered incorrectly. 'Reset password' appears in white...

That's what I was afraid of. So how would you make your feelings known if you go out for a meal, it's badly cooked or over-cooked or otherwise disappointing?

It is a worry that something unpleasant will be done to a meal if it is sent back. One would hope that it wouldn't happen, but most people know someone who know someone who had a bad experience. Urban legend or real story? Who knows...

That's true and that's what Broker 'B' probably wants me to do. I didn't think the extra detail was relevant, but Broker 'A' deals with my car insurance and Broker 'B' with my motorcycle insurance. The bike insurance will be staying with Broker 'B', so it's just a question of whether they will...

I've had a look through the Insurance forum, but haven't found any hints. In short, my car insurance will be up for renewal in a couple of months. My current broker, with whom I have dealt for the past good few years, will be submitting their usual proposal and saying that they recommend...

I was at one about six years ago. Unfortunately, I could only make it for the second night, so I arrived to find various stereotypical characters hamming it up in the biggest way imaginable, and as I hadn't met before most of the group of people I was coming down to see, I didn't really know who...

I had this problem with their "help line" when I was trying to activate my video account. I probably ranted on a thread here at the time about it. Anyway, after trying constantly (and I mean constantly - every 5-10 minutes) for 4 hours to get through, I rang the main number for the NRA and got...

This has been discussed before in other threads and it has been established that banks do not charge for personal customers lodging coins to their personal accounts, ie, when there is no business connection. It may help to go to the branch where you have an account, however.

Update: I got through immediately after ringing the main NRA number (01 - 6602511) and choosing option 1. The process was completed within a minute and the young girl I spoke with said she would check with her supervisor as to why the 1890 number is not working. IMO, it doesn't bode well for my...
