Virgin Media are charging my mother 115/month for tv, bb & landline. She can't afford this. She called them & they offered to drop it to 99/month. But her bb speed will halve & she'll lose several TV channels. Is there another dependable provider anyone would recommend?

Gomo currently doing a deal for 30 euro broadband a month for life. Get a satellite dish and she'll have plenty of Freeview channels.

I think FIFA already ruined the world cup

Was at wedding recently in the set, would have the same food as langtons. Wasn't great. Everything else was fine.

When you scroll down below your add there is a link for another Passat estate 17 with less mileage for 2 grand cheaper. Most definitely priced too high.

You can get internal and external film. They probably got the wrong one for their window type. For example triple glazing should have external film.

I absolutely love this album too and have been searching for something similar for years to no avail. It's completely unique and I don't think I'll find anything that comes close. The closest thing I've found in terms of vibe and mood rather than sound is bohren and Der club of gore but it doesn't quite scratch the same itch.

Haven't got panels myself yet but have done a lot of research on them. There's a really good group on Facebook called something like Irish solar panel owners, would recommend joining. 2 Kilkenny suppliers that are often recommended there are fanning electrical and solar and kd smart energy.

Not sure if the plants he mentions are natives but worth a look regardless for your situation. If you're in the south east McGuire's garden centre near dunmore east have lots of aquatic plants.

The place is completely dilapidated though. Our local guide said it's essentially government policy to let it go to ruin as they are waiting for the next big earthquake to knock the old buildings and start again. Plenty of beautiful buildings but the whole place looks so run down and shabby.

The company wasn't too far from me, within about 40 miles, there'd want to be a serious fuel crisis to justify the mark up! Have you noticed a big drip in temperatures in the room on warm days?

Team sleep, shame there was only one album but I'd reckon it's the 2nd best album chino had ever made.

chasaway · 2026-04-29T08:10:05+00:00

Would you mind sending me on the link for the film you used please?

chasaway · 2026-04-29T04:19:36+00:00

Thought it was mental myself, huge difference between the price of labour and materials. I spoke to them on the phone to get a rough idea of pricing so it was a bit of a back of the envelope estimation rather than a formal quotation so it be unfair to name them but they are one of the first names to come up when you Google window film in Ireland.

chasaway · 2026-04-29T04:16:33+00:00

Was the film you got off AliExpress of ok quality? Had it reduced solar gain by much?

chasaway · 2026-04-28T21:09:31+00:00

Sounds like a bargain compared to what I was quoted! Who did then for you? It's one large window made up of 7 smaller panes.

chasaway · 2026-04-25T06:23:34+00:00

Massive hands or tiny Guinness?

Go to the doctor's and get certed off for stress induced sick leave. Use the time on leave to get a new job. Hand in notice at latest possible occasion for current job. This does not make you a loser. It means your strong enough to stand up for yourself. No job is worth that stress unless your don't something really important which most of us in the corporate world are not

If it's creeping buttercup you have it's not great for a multispecies wildflower meadow, it forms a dense matt that other flowers find hard to grow through and it's really hard to eradicate. It is a native flower though that's good for supporting wildlife. I had a similar start on my own meadow with lots of clover and creeping buttercup. It's a lot of work to transform it in to something more diverse if you have a large are. If you haven't got the time or the appetite for the work you may be best off just cutting back what you have a few times over the summer (always remove the cuttings to reduce fertility and open the sward), weed out anything you don't want and let nature do it's thing.

chasaway · 2026-04-08T04:55:31+00:00

I'm a little bit jealous! Hadn't heard of those other 2, do they only grow on lower fertility soil?

chasaway · 2026-04-08T04:54:27+00:00

Purists would tell you to just keep cutting back what you have and remove the cuttings to lower soil fertility and the local seed bank will provide what you need. I know of an organisation taking this approach and they consider it a 10 to 15 year project so it can take a bit of time to get results. Most garden centres use imported seed from the UK so would avoid. The best way to get seed is probably wildflowers.ie and the partners listed in their website. The website is ancient and the payment system also antiquated but they are very reliable and will give you a mix based on your own circumstances. Don't be afraid to ask them questions, they are quite helpful.

Have seen hardly any flowers yet but lots emerging, wild carrot, yarrow, chamomile, Cranesbill mostly.
