    when i rang them, they said there would be 20% off absolutely everything. surely there's something wrong when the price of the tiles in the "sale" were actually more expensive than a few days beforehand?

    a friend has just informed me that his employer wants to see a copy of his ICB report as part of 'security' checks. Am I correct in believing this is completely out of line?? How on earth could an employer ask for such personal information?????

    Where can i buy a Cavalier King Charles Pup in the leinster area?

    would be VERY VERY wary about buying off donedeal, buyandsell etc....that's where all the puppy farm breeders try to sell their animals...try to find a reputable registered breeder if you're looking for a pedigree...alternatively check out your local poun, they might have a dog to suit your needs.

My understanding was that my bounday would...
