ya worked it out when you payed the service charged plus the amount of times the bin was lifted & the manager was trying to say this was normal :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

for €26 a month my green bin has a maximum yearly weight of 600kg overall so if I go over that I guess I pay more but every 2 weeks I'd struggle to get near that figure.

Ya and the green bin was rarely put out.Once every 2 month you be lucky.it would be mostly the blue recycling one when it was put out. this was not over flowing now or anything like that like the ones you see with the bins overflowing & the extra waste beside them. Law to them selves anyway.

I'd imagine so and a bigger range as well. Have a look at screwfix.ie also. Great range, prices often very good and the carry some exclusive ranges that are cheap and work just as good as the high end stuff. What are you after?

i need to get a cordless angle grinder for a place with no power. you think most of them coming nowdays without any battery packs they be cheaper but no they are the same price &the batteries then nearly cost as much as the tool.(screwfix in ennis is bit of a joke though never seem to have stock & Amazon would deliver quicker than they would)

I've just selected the stores with the stock when I needed stuff and the delivery was quick enough. Never actually bought anything from the ennis store.
Ya the batteries are the expensive bit now.

Harvey norman now even have an App, you can add the photos, types you want(don't know about Polaroid) but you can then edit them and send them to the store for Printing. It was really handy recently when I needed just one 5x10 photo.

Yes but much handier to do the editing from the comfort of your own home before having to go to store and use those machines.

Hi lads, only ever been to the milk Market on a Saturday.
What is it like on a Sunday - worth going to?

Completely different experience really, scaled-back compared to Saturday with hardly any stalls. It's usually only Country Choice, Bon Appetit, and Harpers that are open. Maybe a smattering of others. Still worth going to for one of the crepes from Bon Appetit imo!

Is there any other car insurance websites similar to Chill.ie? They're the only site giving me back quotes that don't cost more than the car, but because the year of registration in Ireland is 08 rather than 06 (year of manufacture), they won't insure it. Going through Zürichs own website they'll only give me third part fire and theft, whereas Chill did have a fully comp quote from them.

Quoted me 3k + with a clean license and 9 years NCB. The car being 14 years old is probably not going to help.

You need to start ringing insurance companies, websites for cars like that are worthless

bazz26

As per above, ring around the various brokers too and let them do some of the leg work for you. Online quoting algorithms are only designed towards anything that falls within their idea of normal or average. If something wonders outside that then they start quoting silly figures.

I had a 15 year car when trying to insure it and yep the age is the problem. Some quoting 3k for a car worth much less. My workaround to it was to insure a different car* with 123.ie and then change the car to the 15 year old car a few days later.

*had an insurable interest in the other car

Call Kennco, they have given me some.decent quotes on non-standard and older cars in the past.
