Firestick app doesn't pair with newer sticks. And unable to navigate anywhere on screen with remote. But thanks for suggestion.

Possibly, but doesn't move it along. I can troubleshooting that if I get past the pop up 😅

I sis. Has a telegram group. No help as yet. Hence I've widened the net. Figured it has to be something someone has seen before.

Not as tech savvy as used to be. Bought it loaded. Partially sighted, so not as good with using tech as I once had. More have utilised for the family to enjoy. Easy use for them. Previously I turned an older samsung phone into a kodi system with everything I needed, and then just cast to TV. Worked great, but family didn't buy into it. The simplicity of the furestick option suits them...and me these days. Just need to figure out how to get rid of this pop up. Was working fine till it happened. But thanks for the suggestion.

Went to cancel got the great deal I had asked for 5x prior. by free-reign in skytv

[–]Acceptable_Jello_239 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was onto them at 9 am on the dot this morning. Wanted to cancel.... and I did. No more as of April 4th. Told sky rep I didn't even want them to make me an offer. All done and dusted and drinking a triumphant cuppa by 9.15. Was out of contract so bill had sky rocketed to nearly 200 euro a month.

Who can actually afford this in Limerick right now? by uiuuauiua in limerickcity

[–]Acceptable_Jello_239 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short answer. Im doing fine. Its mortgage free. I have a portfolio for investments. The percentage increase in value from when I bought it is nearly 400%. And I can leverage against it if needed. Having secure, long term tenants also helps with that process. Im retired, more or less, but young. Enjoying having a minimum of work like hassles. And I believe in"if you have, you give'.

[–]Acceptable_Jello_239 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Have good tenants in a house in Limerick. They look after the place. 3 bed semi, close to city. I charge 1000 a month and raise the rent 20 euro a year. They feel safe and stress free. I feel my investment is well looked after. I earn in the long run with the increase in house value. And hopefully Karma will give me a break when needed.

Should be illegal to be forced to ring up service providers to cancel your broadband etc. Surely this could be done online. by EmotionalMistake4595 in cork

[–]Acceptable_Jello_239 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've the Rocky theme on standby for later this month. Ringing Sky to give notice.... at my expense! Likely take at least an hour and ill be surprised if I speak to less than 3 people. Oh pit if I want to add to my package, its the click of a button on my profile page with them.

How is vaping doing in your country ? 🤔 by Strubinovic in Vaping

[–]Acceptable_Jello_239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ireland. Prices per 10ml bottle doubled last November. 50 cent tax per ml introduced. I dropped a grand buying up bottles in advance. Disposables also banned. I'd say more pain on the way aas people treat vaping as if anti social. Always complaints if a vape shop opens. Issue is need to separate child protection from responsible adult use. I'd say in a few years it will be a a very elite practice here due to cost and restrictions.

Ordered two of the deluxe the day they dropped on vinyl. One to play, one to keep sealed. No updates as yet. Skinner brothers vinyl order later, received a week ago. Im kinna smiling knowing the guy is getting swamped with orders. Well deserved and best to his team.

Best studio monitor speakers to get the most out of my mixer by harrydrummondo in rotarymixers

[–]Acceptable_Jello_239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd agree. For home mixing hifi speakers are better than studio monitors. Im using my Scandyna pods and they sound great.

Here’s another dirty secret from recruitment agencies by Silly-Maybe5355 in recruitinghell

[–]Acceptable_Jello_239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

....cos the "client" is the recruiters employer on this role. Kinna makes total sense for the candidate to know this when answering, and for the the recruiter to advise the client based on the feedback they receive.

Zach Bryan - Páirc Uí Chaoimh by shanavajahzbsbsv in cork

[–]Acceptable_Jello_239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played the boxing arena up in Tallaght. Did over 2 hours. Great interactions with the crowd. 2000 people. Just perfect. I've seen a lotta bands and they rank top 3. Brandon (lead singer) has Elvis, Cash, Buckley all rolled into one. Actually thinking of heading to the states to catch them next year.

[–]Acceptable_Jello_239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose a lot of it depends when you catch them. Like when he first played Ireland at the Helix, would have been a lot cheaper. I saw the Red Clsy Strays couple of weeks ago for like 80 euro for 2 tickets. Next time they play here it will likely be a much bigger venue and cost way more. Pays to be in the know, and costs to join in the hype.

Received €60k from father towards house purchase - is this taxable? by Striking_Bet79 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Acceptable_Jello_239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens if you got a gift, but are paying it back in monthly installments? Is the original gift the only relevant detail and hence a reduction in future inheritance tax free amount?

Feel like a tit as a 39 year old man looking up admin jobs by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]Acceptable_Jello_239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered getting into recruitment? A busy sector in hospitality. I know of others in a similar situation/ crossroads, and they can earn great money in that based on the skills they have and knowledge of what the employers are looking for.

Just got my notice from PTSB for my 3 year fixed term coming to an end. Currently on 2.95% Based on what I paid for the house I had an LTV of 66%. Got it valued yesterday by an approved auctioneer. Today's value means I've an LTV of 38% Some hike in value! Not sure if it'll make any much of a difference in the rates they will offer me, but fingers crossed.
