The best chance you have is if you are travelling on your own on a busy flight leg and are dressed respectably, ie. pants and shirt at least and no jeans. Travelling as a couple and the chance is significantly less. Given that a busy flight leg will almost always be oversold, the check-in desk...

A useful tip I've found, is to glue a small piece of slate to the underside of the vent flaps. This allows the flap to be pushed open just enough by the fan to dispell the inside air and stops them flapping around in the wind on the outside.

Be careful about setting out with a strategy of using "good cheap! tradesmen ". Good and cheap are often mutually exclusive in this game !! If your goal is to maximise your profit on resale, then you should give careful consideration to the quality of your finishing at an early stage. A poor or...

Had a similar problem, with an Inspiron 8200 After getting the runaround from Dell, for weeks I eventually was told they don't supply the adapters for this machine anymore. I ended up getting this: It has worked out ok, the attachment for the Inspiron from the univeral adapter is a little...

It is absolutely possible to have a Sky digibox without a phone line. I am on my second one in two different locations and both installed by a registered Sky installer and no phone line involved. It is increasingly common for people to disperse with traditional landlines particularly on new...

I really don't want to get into a tit for tat thing here. I have given some genuine advice previously and I stand by that. H's just to point out that the rate mentioned €30 is a cost per hour not an annual salary. This is a representative cost of an employee on a business. So your calculation...

I feel I need to offer a balance to h's post as I believe his advice to the OP's request is misleading. From the outset I will say I am in the industry and by de facto have a vested interest, however I am not fishing for this particular business. Hosting & Domains Sure you can buy hosting...

As AlastairSC indicated gorse is almost an endless problem. I also had it on a steep sloping site and a farmer advised me that if I wanted to have a gorse free site afterwards I would likely need to replace the topsoil after clearing the heavy bushes. The problem is that gorse buds pop out...

I was in a very similar situation a few years back. Came back from abroad and set up a limited company. Most banks i spoke to didn't want to know, but in the end I spoke to the bank where I had my long term personal account from years before I went abroad. I put everything on the table in terms...

Re: Contract Questions I always have any clauses relating to 1) and 3) which you mention, struck out of a contract. I have never yet had a problem with this. If you don't question it, the company will always try and put themselves in the strongest position with contracts. The only real chance...

As a number of people, have pointed out, if you are building or rewiring, it really is a no brainer to install cable for a couple of hundred euro and some personal labour. Already there are issues with wireless clutter on the electromagnetic spectrum, where most wireless activity is currently...

OP, LPG is a by product of oil refining, so it's cost will always be directly related to rising oil prices. If you go with LPG, buy a gas tank outright yourself and don't rent from a specific company, otherwise you are tied to the company for supply and lose the ability to negociate the best...

Crazychester, you can't necessarily compare your price to someone else's price. The cost could vary significantly between two house designs based on same sqr footage but different design complexities. What you need to do is get multiple quotes and there are plenty of TF companies around now to...

Moderators, I have read the Posting Guidelines and as far as I can see I can write about a specific company if my complaint is based on specific facts and not defamatory. Apologies if I am incorrect. I feel I should post a warning or caveat to others potentially dealing or planning to deal...

I've seen this done quite a lot on the continent (Germany and Switzerland). They tile before plastering and then level the plaster coat to the tile edge where for example the complete room is not being tiled. I have to say I liked the effect of a smooth flowing finish from bare wall to tile...

We used [broken link removed] for our site and found them very professional and more importantly very helpful.

hi mazie, this question normally gets jumped upon with the answer "how long is a piece of string ?" and although it's frustratingly unhelpful, it is a very important lesson to take on board very early on. There are a multitude of factors which can have a bearing on your home build project...

I see where you are coming from in that the quality of a self build project could suffer from lack of knowledge of the owner in some cases and only someone who has the required knowledge and skills to actually do the build or majority of the build themselves is actually fully in control of the...

Sydthebeat, I would disagree with your take on what Self build is. Your focus is too strictly on the word meaning and I accept your point that it implies a build by oneself. However in reality, industry wide, not only in this country but it the UK, US, Australia, a lot of Europe, the term Self...
