    Munich in Nov

    Any recommendations for places to eat? My quick googling has shown that bavarian restaurants all seem to be "sausage-based". They certainly like their meat! Others seem pretty expensive.

    Thanks folks for all the suggestions - will definately have a look into all of these. Unfortunately we are going on the 12th Nov - too late for Oktoberfest and too early for Christmas Markets....hopefully weather will not be too bad for sightseeing. Thanks again for the info - if anything...

    Who is cheap for car insurance this year

    Re: Who cheap for car insurance this year Having done my annual shop-around, I also got a good deal with "25plus.ie" - beat all other quotes and breakdown assistance included (seems to be at no extra cost). I think they are based in Derry - perhaps that explains their competitiveness...

    Slim scart connection

    I was hoping to avoid this, but true - a leap to HDMI would solve everything. I guess I could probably pick one up for less than €200. Thanks to all for their suggestions.

    Slim scart connection

    Saw some of these on Ebay - but again, the fixed part that connects into the back of the TV is still approx 55mm - no slimmer than a standard scart. Thanks for the info though. Looks like I will may have to use a composite cable (anyone know what the quality of these are like) - or chisel out a...

    Slim scart connection

    I think these have flat cables - but their connector heads (the part that goes into the TV) seem to be the standard size - I will have another look at them though.....

    Slim scart connection

    Yep - brand new. It has HDMI connectors on the side - but my DVD recorder does not have HMDI outputs. The TV also has component inputs - but my DVD recorder doesn't have these either ! only S-video, composite and scart output.

    Slim scart connection

    Hi, Having installed my LCD on my wall, I now find that there is not enough space for a standard scart lead (co-ax fits ok). Unfortunately there are no side scart connections on the TV. Having searched the net, I can find no "slim scart" (less than 40mm deep). Has anyone ever seen anything like...

    Alternatives to "blue bangors"

    Thanks vwkirsty. Yes, I had a look at Richmonds website. Their Blue Bangor products look pretty good. I also saw the fixing system you mentioned: [broken link removed] which claims that you need only need half the quantity of slates. Anyone any experience of using this system ?

    Alternatives to "blue bangors"

    Hi, I am currently renovating a farmhouse. It had old "blue banger" slates. Unfortunately it is not possible to re-use them. I believe you can buy new blue bangors - but they are very expensive. Reclaimed blue bangors are almost as expensive. Many of new slate products would ruin the look and...

    Venture Photography: Anyone have any experience dealing with this co.? Hard Selling.

    Re: Venture Photography Thanks for all the info, Purpeller, no, I didn't get a quote beforehand (I know, I know...). But with no commitment to buy, there was little to lose - and the hour-long session was quite good fun. Caveat, yes I am sure - in fact you can spend up to €5000 on a pic ! Even...

    Venture Photography: Anyone have any experience dealing with this co.? Hard Selling.

    Does anyone have any experience dealing with this company ? (It is a branch of a UK co. based in Swords - and elsewhere in Dublin, I think). I recently competed a family portrait session with them and have arranged to look at the resulting pics in a couple of weeks. Their prices are simply...
