    On the Eirtag page on the EuroLink M4 website the Visa/MasterCard image links to a site that sell marbles (the kind you had as a kid as far as I can tell). The image is actually hotlinked from that site. Most strange.

    Aside: On the Customer Service page they can't spell "axle", instead use "axel". I told them this months ago and even gave them corrected graphics (just a little cut/paste in Paint) but they still haven't corrected it.

    It's all rather horrible.

    The reason their Visa / Mastercard image is weird is that they did a search on Google images for it and rather than stealing the image and uploading it to their webspace, they took the URL from Google images and just hotlinked it from there. The site is complete crap anyway - the annoying Swish effects on the homepage are taking the piss.

    A Truely horrible, horrible site.

    I know the in house IT team for Cintra in Spain did the sister site, http://www.eurolink-m4.com/, so perhaps it's not a reflection on Irish web design (small consolation).
