    Have had ongoing problems in my apartment with water heating. Have a large tank that has two elements fitted. One to heat bath-full of water (usually used at night) and one for sink full of water. Over the past four years I have changed the 'bath' element probably about six or seven times. Each...

    Inernet radio on smartphone

    I find this happens regularly with individual stations apps when I'm using the 'Listen Live' options. I just assumed it was the 'buggy' nature of those apps and not necessarily a problem with my Wifi. Would be interested in others opinions though.

    S4 Screen Smashed where to get it Fixed Dublin City Centre

    Had an Iphone screen fixed at Tech Solutions, 511 North Circular Road (close to the Big Tree at the Dorset Street junction). Fast service, fixed in an hour and nice guys. Would recommend them. Not sure how much it will cost you for your phone though.

    Does the phone have a cover on? Removal of a cover resolved this problem for a friend of mine.

    False complaint made about my driving, call from Garda

    Yes I agree, very poorly planned line breaks for turning left on a road where there are bus lanes. I experience this regularly on the N2.

    Ryanair to improve their website

    Hadn't thought about it...I'll risk it the next time I travel and see what happens...I'm just wondering though if during the check in process when you are randomly allocated a seat if you can reject the allocation and request a new allocation before finalising and printing the boarding pass.

    Ryanair to improve their website

    Just checked in for a return flight next week. Beginning of February is when Ryanair are allowing seat allocation, however they are charging for it. If you want to specify your own seat you pay 5 Euro each way. I suppose there is an option to leave it to chance but I'm assuming that the system...

    Ryanair to improve their website

    Used the website recently to book a number of flights for myself and found it much more user friendly. It recognised me after my initial booking and I didn't have to keep repeating myself. Much better than before. Also have noticed that the general service attitude at airports and on board is...

    Vodafone / Verizon Sale

    My mother has passed over the Vodafone/Verizon documentation for me to interpret (blind leading the blind a bit!). She and my dad (both OAP's) have a small number of shares in Vodafone. It seems to make sense to me that they maintain those shares but agree to sell the Verizon ones. I'm looking...
