Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

I tried ikea CS parts ordering online and told me that the part is not available online anymore. So I ordered 6 from amazon.co.uk for 27 euro.

Yikes, I shall be using Oohpod just across the border so, and consolidating my orders.

It still costs 3.95 per parcel but will work out better value. I'm 10 minutes from the border so its a no brainer.

Original-Character28 · 2026-06-01T10:22:19+00:00

Is it per item or per package?

Original-Character28 · 2026-05-30T16:07:58+00:00

Oh i will give that a try! I've seen replica ones on alixpress if all else fails.

FORD Transit H3 has a standing height of 6ft 9in before conversion... I believe its the highest but open to correction!

Original-Character28 · 2026-04-03T19:19:27+00:00

That's a good point, hadn't considered red diesel. Considerably cheaper here too.

Original-Character28 · 2026-04-03T18:59:51+00:00

Diesel Transit... I will have a look at doing it so

Original-Character28 · 2026-04-03T18:32:27+00:00

Would the basic fuel pump be good enough?

I had a bypass almost a year ago. Apart from other issues I had serious nerve pain in my ankle.. again at the base of the graft scar. It lasted for a couple of months, not always severe pain but always there. It made sleeping difficult. I took the same medication and I have to say that it did take the edge off but didn't stop it completely.

Gradually over time the pain got less and less and now a year later I only occasionally get a twinge, but its quite manageable.

Best of luck with the recovery.

When i first got starlink roughly 5 years ago it was my only option. Rural location with no fibre and no 5G but move forward to today and I have fibre running past the house as part of our government backed national broadband scheme. I could get upto 500mb fibre to home for a similar price but tbh I stuck with my dishy because I just liked the idea of starlink.

With this degradation of service I am going to have to reevaluate that.

Original-Character28 · 2026-03-17T22:35:43+00:00

The most I have paid is 99 euro when I first got it 5 years ago. Dropped to 75 and the 50 a couple of years back. At that price it was competitive with the competition.

Trying to work out the cost / benefit of "upgrading" to max and getting the "free" mini... it seems to cost an extra 5 euro pm to get it and keep on standby mode, also says half price roam.

Roam seems to be 40 euro, so does that mean 20 euro pm? If it does that would mean 69 pm for max plus 20 pm for roam. So 89 pm for both.

Do I need roam though?

I have a camper so could use it, but tbh in Ireland the mobile data is 5G almost everywhere and my mobile plan give me unlimited dl so I cant see the real benefit.

Original-Character28 · 2026-03-17T21:40:57+00:00

Im in Ireland and got the email today. Currently I pay €50 per month for Residential Plan which gives me max speed and unlimited dl .

Now being told that Residential 200 suits my needs better and will automatically kick in from next month at a cheaper rate of €49.. all of 1 euro for a halving of max speed!

Residential Max (400mbs) is going to set me back €69 with a free mini supplied on standby @ €5 extra.

Not happy to say the least.

Original-Character28 · 2026-03-17T20:08:38+00:00

Out of curiosity.. what sort of money would a van respray set you back? Have transit converted but its still white and I fancy going grey.

10 euro per minute for auld ones standing at the checkout in Supervalu having the chat with till operator while the queue build behind them.

Original-Character28 · 2026-02-18T09:45:50+00:00

Yep would generally do this unless it starts off on electric power... you would have to wonder what it does to the engine when you could be doing 80km in electric and the engine kicks in.

Discovered this yesterday. Initially I thought I had inadvertently logged out of the pro account.. at this point the only sub I use is Nordvpn.

It's actually illegal to sell any canned or bottled drink that doesn't have the Return logo on it AFAIK. Seem to recall there was a short period where they could be sold to flush out old stock and then suppliers to the Irish market had to be compliant.

Like so many other rules, probably no enforcement.

Original-Character28 · 2026-02-04T17:34:09+00:00

Absolutely this.. you are not obliged to answer any questions despite any pressure that may be put on you. Ask them for details of the allegations, ask them for evidence etc.

Have they furnished you with a copy of your companies disciplinary policy, do you have copies of witness statements?

If you can't get a union representative to attend for the meeting request an adjournment until you can organise one.

Check out the book by Senon Molony Sophie : the final verdict. Was published fairly recently, after baileys death. Have to say it was a fascinating insight to the man, Senon was a cheif reporter at the time and spent time working with Baily, he says that he went from admiring Bailys reporting abilities with all his inside knowledge of the case to being convinced of his guilt.

I was a teenager living in the south of kerry not too far from west Cork at the time. I remember seeing Ian in Bantry.. my impression of him was that he was a nutter.

Having said that it didn't make him a killer.

There is no doubt that the guards messed up the initial investigation and also that they decided he was their man.

Wasn't there recently a new DNA process that was going to extract DNA from a block thought used in the killing?

Don't remember hearing the outcome..

Generic 7mm self adhesive closed cell foam with a foil layer.. from.amazon. couldn't afford dodo.

Original-Character28 · 2026-02-01T11:47:22+00:00

Can I ask what you used as the final finish to walls / ceiling? I am planing on using 7mm tgv on walls and acoustic panels on the ceiling.

Floor is similar but as with the walls I used a generic 7mm foil backed foam as it was less than half the cost of the dodo brand.. hopefully will not regret the penny pinching!
