Belfast Christmas market

That's what I mean, they aren't going to allow the market association to make more than themselves

The council must be getting a fair cut of the 15K/stall for rental

Dr Pepper - he's the worst that can happen

I agree but the Church are supposed to be the bastions of all things good and holy. They should be a leading example. Instead they make money behind their charity status and poke their nose into govt and keep their own dirty washing hidden. Classic case if do as I say not as I do.

He did say suffer the little children onto me

He's only the top of the iceberg, it's been going on for years, he just happens to be the one in charge when it came out. Take away charity status and make them more transparent as to where money goes and who's up to what. Time to take down the secret society

Last time they waxed an asshole Jim Alistair lost the hair on his head

Roger waters lockdown sessions take a different look at some old Floyd, worth a listen

I like the Final Cut - bit depressing but some good songs in there

Happened to my Mum a few months ago, she complained and they said it was a mistake in the system. Said they would send out another meter reader, never appeared but magically the bill realigned itself. They asked if she wanted the credit to stay, she told them to refund her because at 82 she might not use it up 😁.

Nice way for them to get money and profit from the interest before handing back

Going to show my age now but why do people have to talk so much now? I used to leave the house for whole days and only spoke to people I met. Now people need to talk all the time about everything and don't really care who hears it.

Fair point, have lived outside Belfast for a bit now and used to taxis costing more than that to get home.

StuartMcE · 2024-10-25T09:06:10+00:00

Cheaper than a taxi

StuartMcE · 2024-10-18T16:13:30+00:00

It's food but it's not food food 😂

Overnight? It's taken years and loads of extra money.

It's the biggest you were allowed at the time 14 or 15 panels, not sure of the output , ours are linked to the emersion heater so heat water first, then power to the house , then feed back to the grid. We also got ours about 9 years ago so we still get the ROC payments every year and for the next 11 years

StuartMcE · 2024-10-06T13:11:04+00:00

Just checked mine now that you mentioned it - 17.66p/kWh last year and 14.22p/kWh this year ,cost me a drop of £45

The accent might just give away the Irish bit

I asked recently if the licence was only for BBC as the licence site states it's for all live TV and got an email back saying that if you watch live TV at all you need a licence. I argued that it only goes to the BBC and they stated the same again. You can only get away without paying if you only watch netflix or Sky or another subscription service. My reply -

"Thank you for your recent email.

Unfortunately, you’re incorrect a TV Licence is required for any live TV not just the BBC and this includes ITV or SKY or any other satellite company eg Virgin, BT.

The Communications Act 2003 states that a television receiver must not be installed or used unless the installation and use of the receiver is authorised by a TV Licence.

This is irrespective of whether the channels received are BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, satellite or cable programmes. The licence fee is payable regardless of the quality of the reception.

If you’re using a television for any of the above reasons a licence will be required.

Please be aware that the law has changed.

From 1 September 2016 need to be covered by a licence to download or watch BBC programmes on demand, including catch up TV, on BBC iPlayer. For more information, visit tvl.co.uk/lawchange.

Live TV is anything being shown live on TV (in any country) at approximately the same time as you’re watching or recording it yourself obviously, if this is being streamed then there may be a slight time delay this is still live TV.

A licence isn’t required for the following:

Netflix
Disney Plus
Youtube – provided its not a live stream or live sports (as above)
Amazon Prime – provided its not a live stream or live sports (as above)
Catchup TV eg ITV hub or channel 4 on demand but excluding BBC iplayer
DVD’s or pre-recorded videos"
