    UPC Phone & Broadband TV with Sky

    If you can live with how crap the UPC digital TV service is fair play to you. I have 5MB BB with UPC and Sky + for the Telly. IT works out at about 50 a month all in. It's worth it.. UPC BB is superb, but their TV service does not match the quality of their BB offering.

    Cm2, I am not surprised they rejected your offer, 200k is quite a lot off the asking price! If I really wanted this house, I would wait for the vendor to reduce the price independently.

    Mortgage of 170k - what are the chances??

    I think you have as good a chance as anyone. I would apply directly to EBS. Use a broker who works with everyone. Is there any chance you can clear the loan off early and clear the CC debt? It would really increase your chances.

    Chocolate Factory, Kilmainham

    I live in one of the apartments facing the N4/railway. The trains are frequent and the road is always busy.. However, the windows in the apartments are excellent. The noise level is greatly reduced. You are going to hear trains, but it's a case of getting used to it. If something like this...

    Driving Test does anyone have any useful tips?

    I wouldn't be bothered with trying to learn the routes off. The tester will change the route depending on traffic/road work conditions. I did my test in Raheny recently and was taken on a completely bizarre route. I hardly noticed as I was concentrating so hard. Anyway, I failed the stupid...
