Hi I have an oil boiler that's tripping out all the time on the over temp switch. When I press the OT switch back in it starts up again. The radiators are getting red hot before the boiler trips. I have set the thermostat on the boiler to 60 degrees (from 90) but it doesn't seem to control...

You could also try the Motorola Xoom. It got bad press when it was released first but its a new machine now due to the recent android updates. I have one and I have to say I am delighted with it and i only paid €330 for it! I used to have an iphone but I got rid if it because of all the stupid...

Would you not recommend an Irish bank? Aren't they guaranteed by the government?? I was looking at BOI's 2 year at 4.5%? Is that not trustworty enough do you think?

Where would be the best place to invest €40K for about 3 years? What would give me the highest guaranteed return? Any advice appreciated.

Good stuff. Best of luck with everything and I'm sure everything will work out for you. As someone else mentioned above, it's only money.

Is this something you really need with the way things are going wirelessly?

Hi I have one rad thats luke warm instead of hot like the others. I'm not sure if it's the first or last rad on the line. It's in the room close to the boiler so it may be either. I've bled it and it's still lukewarm. I turned off all the other rads and it then heated up properly. When I...

Thanks for the replies. Her salary is approx €45K and mine is similar. She probably won't be returning to work until March 1st (We hope!) if we can afford it. We had either planned to transfer her credits to me until she returns to work OR let her claim overpayment of tax at the end of 2010...

Hi My wife is currently on Maternity leave from work. She has been on maternity leave for about 2 weeks now. She isn't being paid by her company while on leave (as the directors decided to pay themselves bonuses of millions during the boom while leaving the rainy day pot empty but thats another...

Thanks for that. I'm looking for something straight forward where I can alk in and invest the money and take it out again in 3 years. Where would you recommend for the best rate of return?

Hi I have 16K that I want to invest. However I am in my 60's so I don't want it gone for too long a time. Ideally I would like to invest it for 3 or 5 years. There are so many options out there that I find it very confusing. I would like an investment with some guarantees of return if...

So a PAYE tax clearance cert should be good enough? Thanks for your help. What about the other point, should I re-open my old Sole Trader entity or apply for a new one?

Hi I am in the process of tendering for a job, providing a service. As part of the tender I have to provide a tax clearance certificate. This is where my problems begin! I am a PAYE worker normally and obviously am fully tax compliant here. The job I am tendering for is obviously on my spare...

Hi I am looking for a someone to tile a small bathroom and install a bath, toilet and sink. The bathroom will be completely cleared out and the plumbing will all be in place already. The area to be tiled is approx. 24 sq.M and is 99% straight cuts except for a small area around a curved...

Approx. 6 Million in wages for a few directors. 50% wage increase on previous year!! Lisney makes a paltry 250K profit same year (last boom year:eek:). Loses 136K last year. I would be a very angry and resentful member of staff if I worked in a place with figures like that and was being...

A lady in a large SUV who was dropping diddums to school in Straffan also had one.

It's not bitterness or jealousy on my part. I can well afford to pay €30K on a day out but I have no intention of it so some deranged lady can think she looks like a princess and needs to be the centre of attention! My only gripe is that I didn't get into this "wedding industry" years ago and...

Well said.

Definetly recommend a trip up to Mt St Helens as well. Pretty impressive scenery up there and you can see the smoke coming up out of the mo9untain some days. Also, a trip up to Vancouver for a day is a nice option. Lovely city and surrounds.

I think the traditional Irish wedding day is the biggest load of tat known to man. How tacky can it be? Everyone knows exactly what will be happening at what time. At 9.23pm the bride will be throwing the bouquet etc. I'd rather gouge out my two eyes rather than go through that. Why can't...
