    Cheapest way to call Australia

    A pay as you go account with blueface.ie might be what you're after. We use it to call Canada for next to nothing. Calls to an Australian landline are €0.017 per minute according to http://www.blueface.ie/rates/rates.aspx. You'll need to have an IP-compatible phone or an ATA router to plug your...

    memory foam matress unbelievably warm

    You need a half-and-half (or his-and-hers) duvet. We have one with a zip down the middle and has a lower tog rating on one side for the hotter partner. Think we got it in Marks and Spencers, but can't find a link right now (sorry!).

    TX Card for Samsung Wireless Speakers

    Guys, I had another dig for ye: I get the feeling you need this whole bad boy here, and not just the TX card: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000K3A3S6/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller= I think it's actually been discontinued, but searching for SWA 3000 and/or TX-Karte finds...

    How To Make The Grass Grow Quickly

    Sounds like the soil has become very compacted. Maybe drive your garden fork down into the patches a whole load of times, rocking it back and forth to loosen the compaction. Giving it a serious water before you do this might help too. If it's really hard you might need to turn the soil over...

    How To Make The Grass Grow Quickly

    Assuming your lawn is still at least 50% grass, your overseeding should work. However, you maybe ought to buy some 'Topdressing' (It's a soil and sand mix - can buy Westland brand in B&Q near the grass seed usually). Sow the seed, then scatter over the topdressing to cover it with a thin layer...

    Inserting files into Dreamweaver

    In Word, can you save the document just as a text (.txt) file? Then open it in Notepad and copy and paste into Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver may also not like it if the file you're trying to use is already open in Word.

    Hole in flowerbed - rat??

    Just to clarify the situation (re: Wind in the Willows): We have no moles in Ireland, but we do have toads (of the Natterjack variety) in some parts of Kerry. We don't have weasels either, but we do have stoats, pine martens and minks. And don't forget badger - rakes of those!

    You might want to contact your local Teagasc Forestry Development Officer, who will be able to give you details of where you can get firewood from thinnings from the Farm Forestry sector: [broken link removed] If you want to plant trees, they'll be able to give you some tips there too.

    surround sound dilema

    I assume your Yamaha will accept a digital audio feed from a DVD player and do the amplifying for you... If you don't want to take the Blu-Ray plunge yet (still fairly pricey), you could opt for an upscaling standard DVD player. We got the Samsung DVDF-1080 free with our new TV (in Harvey...

    Hooking up 2 or more component sources to TV?

    Hey guys -advice needed... Have new LCD tv with only one component input (loads of HDMI though). Want to connect a Wii and our old DVD player, which both run over component connections. Is there a simple way of doing this - Do I need to get a 'switchbox' for the component signals, or can I...

    action phots & shutter speed ?

    Wedding reception photos are notoriously tricky. Yoga has covered the main reasons. The other is that the built in flash on many cameras simply isn't powerful enough to fill the room, so you'll get shots with the first one or two rows of people really bright in the shot, and an almost pitch...

    Flat Screen with built-in computer

    I'm sure I saw a PC like this in PC World last year. I can't find any trace of one on their website, but a visit might help. In any case, here's one by Klegg Electronics in the States (so they do exist): [broken link removed] (Pricey though... the one I saw here was certainly cheaper)

    Roseberry Hill Newbridge

    In fairness Reg, he never said anything about 'developments', and he is not talking about comparing Roseberry Hill with anywhere else. He is just stating that he feels Naas is a better town to live in. Both towns have their own pros and cons, and I'm sure there's plenty of folks in both that...

    Roseberry Hill Newbridge

    Sounds like more smear campaigning by the Irish concrete industry. Alledgedly misinformation spread by certain unscrupulous types associated with the 'concrete built are better built' fraternity set the Irish timber-frame homes market back by years in the 80s. Like yer man Daithi said, maybe a...

    Heatons do them. Not as great as advertised though - Most will slowly fill with air again.
