    I'm always checking the news feed and notifications but I'm the same with boards and email. All hail the ease of phone/net use! I'm also glued to the laptop a lot less now thanks to the phone.

    pm the mods and ask could they move it rather than closing it

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Probably had more to do with the nature of the question - even if you say you want to know peoples experience with something medical rather than medical advice itself it's still considered to be pretty much the same - going by the forum charters and asking about an avastin treatment myself.

    It's hard to know what is acceptable sometimes as I've seen similar topics that didn't locked or that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 438 ✭✭allydylan


    ya i think that's it, i'm not dumb enough to take medical advice from people all the internet just opinions but it doesn't matter anymore :P

    let's see.......i think i've gotten over my fear of gorillas which i'm pretty pleased about :P

    Ally-
    As for piercings - I don't know about with hearts specifically but I've gotten a couple of tattoos and had to consider the health side too for other reasons and it seems to have to do with:
    If you have a foreign electrical body such as a pacemaker for example
    And if you are prone to low immunity
    If your heart actually affects your immunity
    And things like that.

    Gp really is the best place to ask but you said its 50 euro. I thought people still in school got free healthcare ? Maybe I'm behind the times on that one!
    You could try contacting some reputable parlours and ask if they've ever had this query before or even dealt with customers with the same problem.

    thanks so much, that was a great help to me, and no i don't get free health care cos i live with my parents who both earn normal wages so our medical card got taken away like last year

    judging on what you said i should be able to get one, but i'll look into it more

    Then the internet comes back :(

    Hey guys, sorry but does anyone know what age you have to be to get a debit card?

    I'm really wary of companies that want direct debit now. Since my mum got over billed but she used my account. So I'm the one 150 down as a result as they just take it from the account, never got paper bills or was even told how to get em online. Bloody chancers. This was not UPC.

    Overbilled like that a few times till we told them to get lost

    You have to be 18 to have a bank account - i think - but they do student accounts - I had an ATM card when I had a student account and these days ATM cards are usually debit cards but I'd check with the bank

    Was it with a mobile stick broadband?
    They took the absolute piss with us and wouldn't send us a bill which broke down this supposed overuse. It was a 30gb limit though I since learned mobile broadband just isn't suitable for much.

    No.
    It kept breaking down literally every month and the bill would be outrageous when we got it so we were basically paying for a service we weren't getting
