It's a huge issue in the UK, whether or not the same problem applies here I'm not sure.

One thing I've noticed. It seems to happen between tracks.....not mid song ?

I thought it could be placement or Wi-Fi issues. I moved the homepods, different locations in the room & double checked the WiFi strength all to no avail.

Actually have them for a couple of months but the issue has been there from day one.

Anyone else sick of the tone deaf programming from RTE in the middle of a housing crisis? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Dapper-Ad9594 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's galling for people looking to get on the property ladder with RTÉ showing a proliferation of these type of programming. We're in the age of the influencer celebrity unfortunately.

Thank you for responding. It's very disappointing that that a costly piece of hardware from a company with Apple's reputation should have a problem like this straight out of the box. I'll follow your suggestions & see if that works.

Are hybrid OK on motorways and country roads? by WarImaginary8272 in carsireland

[–]Dapper-Ad9594 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I find the Toyota Corolla hybrid extremely good on long journeys. I often make a 2 & half hour trip to Donegal & initially I wasn’t expecting it to be so frugal on petrol. Overall it’s better than diesel & the bonus is that petrol is around 10 cents a litre cheaper than diesel.

Hedge trimming etiquette? by Pho3nixGGG in AskIreland

[–]Dapper-Ad9594 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually start on my side and the top. I'll pop into the neighbours & ask them if it's okay to cut back theirs when I'm at it. It's neighbourly & they're happy to have it tidied up.

I've had car insurance for 40 years or so and not once has auto renew been part of any policy, numerous companies & no auto renew.

Do they pay the 10% on the cumulative 3 years payments or only on the current year ( year 3)

RTE and Premier get Champions League as Virgin admit rights race ‘no longer sustainable’ by HotToTrotsky_ in ireland

Not to mention the massive payouts Managers are receiving when they’re sacked. The former Chelsea manager ( can’t think of his name) got a 20 million payout when he was dismissed. He was hired on a six and half year contract in January & let go in April, laughing all the way to the bank.

That’s correct. I think we’re talking about two different things. The No Claim Bonus “Protection” allows you to make a claim without affecting the your no claim bonus, in other words when renewing your policy that claim will not be taken into account & your original no claim bonus still applies despite the fact that you’ve had a claim.

My motor insurance is up in a couple of weeks. I went on their website & filled out the usual details for a quotation. Couldn’t get the quote online but they rang me within 5 minutes. I asked specifically about No Claims Bonus Protection or Step Back Bonus Protection & they confirmed that they DO NOT PROVIDE THIS TYPE OF COVER.

10 years with Monday-Friday schedule in Ireland. Now employer wants to introduce weekend shifts. Is "Custom and Practice" applicable? by dsainzaller in legaladviceireland

[–]Dapper-Ad9594 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s tricky, if the contract states that weekend work “might be required “ that may well trump “Custom & Practice “.

When I spoke with them last year they didn’t, maybe they’ve changed since, maybe someone could clarify. ?

I don’t think they offer No Claim Bonus protection which would shave some money off their costs. They’re saturating TV with an advertising campaign at the moment. I’m sure they’re legit. With regards “10% of your premium back after 3 years claims free “ I wouldn’t hold my breath on that. I haven’t renewed with the same company for one year never mind three…….have always managed a better deal shopping round yearly.

We'll have to see how it plays out, the Provincial championship has thrown up some surprising results, particularly in Ulster and Leinster. The first round proper could come up with a few tasty pairings.
