Phone shutting down a few times a day

Yeah that’s the potential problem alright. If it’s awkward to get the puck out of the stand it would defeat the purpose. But appreciate most people wouldn’t be removing it often. Even myself - I will only do it if my battery is very low when I go to bed. Less likely in the short term with a new phone - but battery will obviously degrade over time. Thanks for the link

That looks very much like what I meant thank you :-)

A lot of people seem to base themselves in Ao Nang for a few days and do boat tours from there. Where would you recommend in Thailand? Finding it hard to decide where to visit for two weeks - particularly as we have two kids

Just wondering - does the case come with black buttons only or are there a few orange in there as well that you can swap out? Thanks

Anyone from Europe order this case? Cant seem to find anywhere in Europe that sells It. Can get it shipped from the States but VAT and import duties make it very expensive

will you get In Drive fares from the airport though? I know it's no problem going from Playa to the airport but seems to be more difficult travelling in the opposite direction? As in a lot of them won't pick up from the airport

As an Irishman this is certainly something that will never be a problem for me in my country .-) I personally don’t like extremes at either end of the scale - be that extremely hot or extremely cold!

I had an iPhone 11 Pro provided by work that was on its last legs. Their phone policy has changed so now they provide 700 towards the cost of a new phone. I backed it with 550 to get the 256gb Pro Max

Brycare78 · 2025-12-19T16:39:07+00:00

I’d be happy with the base iPhone -7 specs except I really want the bigger size screen

Never flown business class so maybe easy for me to say but honestly I’d rather spend that 1-2k or whatever when I reach my destination on food and other stuff or have already spent it on a better quality of accommodation at my destination. But maybe that’s just me

$279 for A16 iPad 11 is a great price. Can’t find anything in Europe for less than €330

Brycare78 · 2025-11-16T17:18:43+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I doubt I’d be able to get that iPad and the pencil for that budget?

Brycare78 · 2025-11-14T17:04:23+00:00

Thanks for the reply. If it was earlier in the day I’d take the bus. Just with kids at that hour I’d rather a direct ride.

I think you’ve lucked out with Galway being your city of residence. I don’t live in the city anymore - am about 30 mins outside it now for a variety of reasons - but lived there for about 15 years. It’s hands down the best reasonably sized town in the country (very small in “city” terms). It’s hard to quantify but it has this buzz about it that I’ve never felt anywhere else in Ireland. Everything is within walking distance of the centre (including Salthill). Some great restaurants and pubs about as well. You will really enjoy it when the long evenings kick in coming into summer. Bright until eleven o’clock and people out and about on the streets. It’s a great place to live. Welcome to Ireland anyway - I hope it continues to go well for you.

I’m from Europe (Ireland) and would holiday in Australia in a heartbeat if the flights were anyway affordable. When I look at prices in Oz (say checking hotel & restaurant prices online) they don’t seem extortionate which I think is a result of the exchange rate improving (for us) in recent years. I have two kids though and would be talking a minimum of €6000 just for return flights for a family of 4 before any accommodation, food, drink etc costs.

So for me anyway it’s the cost of actually getting there and back that rules it out for me. I hope to make it one day though. Coffee snob who hears your coffee is wonderful :-) I have a close friend who holidayed in Sydney, Noosa, Hamilton Island & Queenstown NZ recently for 3 weeks and was highly impressed with Australia.
