Following on from the 'need a new car' thread. And acknowledging that there is a motor forum, but this is more generic. I do 'need' a new car, family of 4 recently upgraded by one small girl, so the small 1.2l car wont hold us all. Am looking at a trade in at a garage for a 7 seater Peugeot...

Just saw this chap from Mayo win a world title - broadcast on tg4. Know nothing of the calibre of the title but it was a good fight he put in. Looks a good boxer. Won by opening the Italians eye with his head but was well on top in all 5 rounds and looked not intended.... Fair play to the lad...

The library had one of these (for loan) so I have borrowed it for a couple of weeks. What can I expect?? I dont expect much to be honest, I guess it will show up that we have boiled the kettle after we have boiled the kettle, but in terms of how we can save money/cut out CO2 emissions/save the...

afternoon. Theres a light from the ceiling in the kitchen. When it is working correctly there are four bulbs providing light. When the bulbs go, they get replaced, all easy so far. Question is - when two bulbs are gone, there are only two working, does this mean that theres only half the...

There is a website that gives some history of flooding around the country that might be of interest to some of ye. It is built up from data reported to the OPW then verified so there is lots and lots that is not there but sure it is a start...

When the GAA decided to fix a second game the same day as the Meath vs Dublin gaelic football game on 7th June can anyone here fathom where in the hell they came up with putting on an Antrim vs Dublin hurling game as the second game of the double header. To me that only suits one county. Boo...

Theres a developer kindly replacing the nice field out the back with lots of high appartment blocks. (I am now overlooked by about 30 windows but I bought the house after during the planning application stage so I think I have missed my opportunity to do anything about that one). The other day...

In the high passion high risk stuff that was the O Byrne cup game against Carlow the Dubs managed to end up in an all in brawl resulting in 2 men (one Dub, One Carlow) getting sent off. I wonder did their upstanding manager shoulder anyone in the back from the blind side this time, or were any...

For €25 after the check in gate there is a lounge - essentially a business lounge - where anyone with €25 can go and enjoy. Do you think that this is value for money, there is a drinks bar there that one can help oneself to, and snacks, nice seats and the internet. All included. You can go...

Today, and possibly over the weekend. Freight train down in Skerries, just south of Balbriggan, all trains cancelled with an outside chance of one track being good to go maybe some time today. Be wise.
