    Study mentors for Leaving Certificate

    I was wondering if anyone has come across or used a study mentor. this is someone who can act as a coach and mentor to good study habits, check progress, motivate etc. its not the content of the subjects but rather the approach, planning and execution of a study plan and staying motivated...

    If I pour seawater on my path, will it freeze?

    I'd love to know the answer to this. My 9 year old son came up last night with the idea of using sea water on the roads - shows a bit of lateral thinking at least!!

    what offer should i make

    Going to €250k would only be a 10% reduction! With commentators saying we have about a 25% drop generally I would put a ceiling on the offer of somewhere just over the €200k mark. Remember the market is still falling...so what would it be worth in 6 months and how difficult would a resale be if...

    Costa del Sol property investment

    I was also looking into this recently and was amazed that the asking prices were still so high. My sense is that the real value is well below this but how do you get to the real value? Given the oversuppy and lack of funding I would have thought that you could get a beachfront 2 bed appartment...

    Compsys - I read this too but they plan to open another 10 or so outlets around the country. It's still worth keeping an eye on how this idea unfolds...

    Anyone been to Buy Lo yet?

    I went there myself over the weekend. Very basic set up with well known brands at lower prices. Some of the stuff is massive catering packs or boxes (eg. Chrisps). It's a mix between a cash and carry and retail outlet. The range is not bad but limited. I guess if you can figure out what makes...

    Is Investec.ie the worst web site ever.

    Back to the point of the thread - their previous web-site is better. [broken link removed] I hope they didn't pay much for the "upgrade"!!!

    I love the idea and concept. Does anyone know the next steps to get this beyond concept. Is there funduning, planning, resources, political backing etc.

    Spirit Of Ireland . . Energy Alternative . .

    This is a very impressive idea. It utilises so many natural advantages we have as a country. I hope it will get the necessary backing and support. To me this would be a real legacy to leave our children. I just hope it does not get hyjacked by various campainers. This is the sort of srtategic...

    Restaurant Recommendation - Naas

    I've been there on a couple of occasions. Nice gentle atmosphere, good French feel to it. I found the food tasty, fresh and nice portions. Great mussell starter. Priced a little expensive, but suitable for a 2-6 person occasion. Not really set up for larger groups.

    Club Champs - I'd love to do that, but only I have the interest. Other ideas are good but quite traditional eg. pub, walks etc. Anyone with something more novel? Thanks.

    Ideas for St. Patricks Day

    Hi I'm looking for a few novel ideas for two adults and 2 children (9+15) for St. Patricks Day. We have done the parades, circus, carnaval etc. I'd love to come up with something different but not too expensive. For example day trip to Madrid €88.60 with Ryanair! Other ideas please....

    High Gas Bill

    Almost identical scenario here. Bill was €430 usually around €130!! I rang bord Gais and was told that this was correct and based on an actual reading. I was told that the cause was using the gas fireplace which I did use but only for short periods and now and again. Be delighted if anyone...
