    Re-Turn Plastic Bottles

    I wonder is it because the 5L don't tend to be littered around

    Those with deposits in Raisin, Lightyear - anything to report, issues, all good, etc?

    There is a Term Deposit ID for the account with Younited or whichever bank you choose, this is supplied when you open the account. IBANs are used to make international transfers easier. There'll only ever be two transactions on the account, one deposit and one withdrawal at the end of the term...

    Ryanair changed my flight times and they don't suit me

    I feel these are the consequences of cheap flights. We can't have it both ways. When booking flights, the cheapest is the most restrictive. There are options of Flexi tickets that allow you to change and re-schedule, but you pay much more for these.

    Housing in Ireland: A broken system.

    If only Ryanair would get into constructing the houses, bound to make it more efficient and cheaper

    Pronouns - can an employer insist that you use them, in an auto-signature?

    Working in a company with sites around the world you can't really rely on names to indicate gender. I've always just used 'they' to avoid the issue. I don't really find the pronouns in the signature useful. If I'm replying directly to the person, I wouldn't use third person pronouns.

    Life Time Mortgage to a family member

    Would you need to insist on house insurance or could you take out the policy.

    I think I am tired of being "Green".

    They don't stop working, the apps stop working as they'll look for more recent versions of the OS. I have an original iPad, still works. Most apps won't as the OS version is too old. Can't upgrade the OS as the hardware is too old. Apple typically give updates for 5years from launch. Most iPhone...

    I think I am tired of being "Green".

    How much of the emissions from China and India are due to Western demand for cheap disposable products. Printers annoy me. New printer with ink cartridge almost the same price as ink cartridge on its own. Phones can last years but software updates stop after 2 years, so hardware becomes obsolete...

    Is it worth Moving to a Smart Meter Plan?

    We recently had one installed and the communication we received said the metre was configured for Day Night. If we put off the installation, it would be installed at a future date and wouldn't be allowed to keep current tariff. Did you receive any notification about the installation?

    Energy Credit Scam

    They're getting better. A relevant topic, a bit more research went in to this one. At least the spam filter is catching them

    Insurance for electric vehicles?

    I think the phrase about Tesla owners choking on kale smoothies gives an indication of the authors thoughts on EVs.

    If it's your entire life savings you probably shouldn't put them all in one place.

    Ryanair changed my flight times and they don't suit me

    I've often followed my flight on Flight tracker. They don't seem to just fly the same route over and back. Dub to Lanzarote flight was the same aircraft that had just done Birmingham to Dublin. Then it was Dublin to Kracow. A change in any of the schedules in any of these airports would have a...

    Ryanair changed my flight times and they don't suit me

    About 4 years ago I booked flights with Aer Lingus to Berlin about 8 months in advance. I must have received about 10 emails informing of changes to the flight time, so much I eventually ignored them. The changes were all minor. Anyway the actual flight time ended up as the original booking.

    Ryanair changed my flight times and they don't suit me

    This is from 2010, Ryanair's response was based on EU guidelines they should give a minimum of 14 days notice of a schedule change. https://www.irishtimes.com/news/consumer/ryanair-keeps-on-changing-its-flight-times-1.625654

    Increase rent ' officially' but effectively not really.

    Not sure if the document I linked to is still relevant or a relic from a different time. Couldn't see any timestamp on it.

    Given Noonan's raid on pension funds, can the government be trusted?

    After September 11, Americans turned away from air travel and took to the roadsz even though flying was still safer. Road deaths increased. I think it's the same kind of thinking.

    Increase rent ' officially' but effectively not really.

    Not sure if this document is up to date, but it states that tax must be paid on rent receivable as per the lease, not the actual rent paid. So if you receive less than stated on the lease, you write it off each year as a bad debt. Would you need to prove it's not recoverable? As Gordan said, an...
