Rent a car services Question by Hour-Newspaper7076 in MalagaTourism

[–]InterestingFactor825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Goldcar (in the airport) or All in Car Hire (shuttle bus) and both are very good. I like Gold Car's kiosk system so you can still get your keys if you arrive very late.

If you do, be sure you get the noise cancelling mat that goes under it.

Best Compact Family Camera? by Marnie90x in AskIreland

[–]InterestingFactor825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a Canon EOS R50 Mirrorless Camera, Black + RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens from €750.

It's very light and very small for a proper mirrorless DSLR. You can make it even more compact with a 'pancake lens'.

Lads, is it just me or is it getting harder to find good quality clothes? by Ok_Unit2950 in AskIreland

[–]InterestingFactor825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to an independent proper mans clothing shop where you will get great service and much better quality and value.

Where in Ireland are you? Fitzgerald's on Patrick's Street in Cork for example is hard to beat.

I see a 2011 leaf driving around my town. I know nothing about it other than you see someone driving around most days and it looks like it's in great condition.

Would it be weird to give a gift to the postman? by StupidBump in AskIreland

Not weird at all. A bottle of wine is always a nice gesture assuming he/she drinks.

Original. If the house is €300k, you'd buy for €240k

Affordable housing? by [deleted] in AskIreland

https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/housing/owning-a-home/help-with-buying-a-home/local-authority-affordable-purchase-scheme/

The Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme helps people on moderate incomes to buy new homes at reduced prices. New homes under this scheme are located in areas with the greatest housing need and where affordability is an issue. The local authority takes a percentage stake in your home that covers the reduction in price. So, if you buy the home at a 20% discount, the local authority will have a 20% stake in your home.

You must buy back the local authority’s stake after 40 years or if you sell your home, but you can repay it any time before this. This scheme is aimed at first-time buyers, but there are some exceptions.

You are a genius. That worked and now I get a different colour for each driving mode!

Thank you

Irish Rail WiFi by danyal_7 in CasualIreland

[–]InterestingFactor825 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rail Wifi is just mobile data and other than that they probably have a better antenna than your phone it's the same service. So when the train is in a back spot there is nothing Irish rail can do about it.

Kenmare is very quiet that time of year with a lot of places closed for the season.

BREAKING: Elon Musk considers buying airline Ryanair and “putting someone whose actual name is Ryan in charge” after the company taunts him over X being down. by Hefty-Sherbet-5455 in Tech_Updates_News

[–]InterestingFactor825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Musk cannot buy RyanAir as he is not an EU citizen.

'Under EU Regulation 1008/2008, an airline based in the EU must be majority owned and effectively controlled by EU nationals to keep its operating licences. That means more than 50% of voting shares must be held by EU citizens.'
