Some genius told me the best time to hit the Motor Tax Office was 30mins before they closed. Wrong. No 663 in queue & still in the mid 500's. FML.

Considering offering one of the unwashed here a score to jump up 80 spots. Bit grim around here, would be ironic if in renewing my licence I come out to no car.

I last went to motor tax (the one in Smithfield) about 3 years ago. Went abut 2pm and was out in less than 30 mins.

OK, perhaps a bit of a heartless phrasing, but the whole promotional video is about reminding people who her father is. Hardly the best reason for electing a legislator is it? Not surprising though as children succeeding their parents is something that is somewhat of an Irish tradition.

So made it to London no probs really plane was delayed by about 25 minutes but that was fine as I had a row to myself so I could stretch out, getting to the hotel was handy enough with the tube had HectorJellys tunes banging to keep me occupied.

I've some how managed to hurt my right foot and I don't know how it's a little sore and has me limping somewhat, pox! Just gotta push on through the pain with the aid of some painkillers if it gets worse.

The white collar boxing is now only 5 weeks away. Everything has been sorted and I can now confirm we are raising money for the national rehabilitation hospital which is a really good cause imo. Training is stepping up a notch now - (including football and gym sessions by myself) Iv had 21 training sessions in the last 2 weeks - they are trying to sell out the event at 1000 tickets so Im kinda bricking it for that but no turning back now. I dont even miss the alcohol over the last 6 weeks and Ive been out plenty of times sober

Jaysis, just as well stubbornness is a quality that you possess in spades Michelle. It'll serve you well in that job by the sounds of it.

That's a good idea Michelle but could you have used your own card or your hubby's Husband's
to do this? WP on your flying start.

[one ill cat]

I imagine it might be better office policy to not use your own card for such things, that said however, perhaps it would be an idea for you to have one of those prepay type cards that you could top up with cash at any shop with that pay point service. Save you having to worry about going to banks or track down working husbands.

I only got 4 days pay for the sales course, obv treated my self to a state of the art Ecig and withdrew the rest, would have most certainly used my card, colm has a uk bank account so no point asking him and tbh he would have said no lol

I heard a story last week from a fella working in a sky store and put something like this on his own card, customer then pulled out of the deal and he ended up getting fired for using his card.

Even before that story I'd stay well clear of using your own card with anything like that. Might not go down well if found out and better lose a sale than the job

I just posted this on the boards satellite forum, just posting here too in case someone has any experience with this issue . . .

Sky RF Outlet (Magic Eye) Channel Interference

I have the Sky World HD package with the 2TB HD+ box. Obviously, with so many channels & available storage, I got the magic eye set up when the sky was installed to get the most value for money.

Well I loved my set up until recently when all of a sudden I appear to get constant interference on the upstairs tv in the evening time. I've researched this online & a lot of forums have suggested changing the RF channel to a lower one & keeping the sound setting at 'I'.

I've worked my way through pretty much all the channels & can't seem to find one that remains uninterrupted for anything more than a day or so. At the risk of driving myself nuts I've ordered a converter type thing to convert coax feed to a HDMI so I can use a direct input to the tv upstairs that doesn't require tuning in. That said I've no idea if it'll work, but it's annoying me that much I thought it was worth a try.

If anyone has encountered this problem or could suggest a fix I'd be really grateful.

Michelle the Rottweiler

Yo Keane if you get the chance you should bookmark Jared Polin aka Fro Know Photo on YouTube his video tutorials are pretty informative/fun and you should pick up a few bits & bobs.

I bought a D3100 at the weekend as well and have watched a few of this guys videos and would agree they are very informative.

I am going on safari in May and have a 55-300mm lens as well as the 18-55mm but am only learning this stuff and pretty clueless so if anyone has any advice how to get the best out of the camera I would appreciate it.

Seems a bit extreme unless he was aware of it being against their rules and he ignored it (probably on more than one occasion).

In Michelle's case she should check with her boss to see if it's frowned upon or downright against the rules and if so then she obviously shouldn't do anything to jeopardize her job.

yeah i dont know the chap but he definitely worked in sky and put some small payment on his card, which he does regularly and knows your not supposed to but "everyone does it", and when customer pulled out he got the sack.

Obviously if boss says its good its good, but id nearly want it in writing rather than direct boss saying ya go for it. Id assume its against company rules until hearing otherwise

Little bit of time and practice with some patience and you will slowly build it up, I picked peoples brains watched a lot of tutorials & read bits and pieces and with some trial and error along the way I'm getting the grips of things, still have a bunch of stuff to learn.

If you have any questions/queries will certainly do my best to answer if I can.

I was mostly concerned about the taking a stranger in your car as part of a commercial transaction. It's extremely likely that your insurance will be invalid if you had an accident on such a trip.

Every Wednesday morning was torture, the manager spouting this BS every week at the sales meeting.....and not in the cool Alec Baldwin type of way.....but in a south Tipp accent (sorry if that offends south Tippirarians) but it's the nut worst motivational accent in Ireland imo.

My opinion of south tippirarian accents in no way reflects the opinion of the managment and owners of Irish Poker Boards and all of it's sponsers and subsidiaries.
