Anyone able to offer any advice or suggestions on the best roof box and accessories to purchase.
Is there a particular brand that is most popular?

I do have roof rails on the car but what additional accessories do I need to buy?

1. Roof bars - is there a best option to go for? Do the roof bars screw into the raised rails?
2. Roof box - should I go for a the largest capacity with a dual opening
3. What are foot packs for? I know they go on raised roof rails.
4. Wingbar - do you need both roof bars and wing bars?

All advice welcome. 👍

Thinking of buying a 4/5 berth touring caravan with the intention of using it for a number years touring round Ireland and possibly France at some stage.

I have been doing some research online and looking for a decent second hand caravan.

Anyone here own a touring caravan or have had advice / experience of them? Any models to go for or avoid?

I am aware of water, waste barrels, electric leads, gas,  awning, ground sheets but are there any other main essentials needed?

Anyone on here ever try the Joe Wicks 90 day plan or know of anyone who has tried it?
Was thinking of maybe giving it a go. Need to try do some fitness work again and improve the diet if possible.
Was wondering would it be decent programme to try.

Has anyone ever went on a fitness holiday/camp? Thinking of doing a week somewhere this summer with plenty of exercise/classes/training. Somewhere in the sun, probably Europe. Have looked at some holiday camps but they are very dear. Has anyone any experience of being on a cheap week away to a resort where there has happened to have been regular fitness classes in the area or on beach etc that you could attend? Think that option would work out much cheaper than a specific fitness camp.

How legal are mobile phone contracts?

I moved to BT mobile in December and as part of the deal I was to receive an £80 gift voucher. Nearly 4 months later and I still haven't received it despite numerous conversations with them about it. They keep fobbing me off saying it has been sent, give up to 45 days etc to receive. Come the 45 days I ring again and get the same thing repeated. I'm sick of them at this stage.

It is a 12 month contract. If I cancel the direct debit is there anything they can do?

Anyone here recommend portable GAA Goalposts. I'm after a set of Goalposts for the kids to use.

12ft x 6ft or 10ft x 6ft and I'm not a fan of the plastic ones as will be broken in no time.

I know Murphy Gloves used to make some but don't think they are making them anymore. The ones with wheels are great especially when looking to move them but not necessary.

I know a friend who paid £900 for a set of Goalposts and tbh I don't intend paying that amount.

Is there anyone on here have the Beam Vacuum system installed in their homes? Is it reliable?
Got quote other day for nearly £1500 for the installation of the power unit and tools.
The ducting is already fitted in the house.

I'm looking to register an Irish .ie website domain but I'm told I need a Registered Business Number (RBN). Why is this and is there any way I can register a .ie domain without an RBN?

Folks

Would anyone have the 2004 edition of this or know where I could get it?

I've a friend who is missing this from a set and would really like it. I see they are on eBay and Amazon but are costing nearly £50 which is steep.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

The time has come to get rid of SKY. Paying £60 plus a month and not really worth it to be honest. I do have the sports package  but its really only the football I would watch and no other sports.
I am led too believe YOU VIEW+ is just as good and a lot cheaper.
I do have  few questions regards YOU VIEW+

1. Is there an alternative you can use for it to watch on other TVs in other rooms around the house? I currently have the magic eye to watch SKY TV in other rooms

2. I take it I need an outdoor TV Aerial and that the satellite dish can't be used?

Does any of use download YouTube videos? What's the best and quickest way to do so? Thanks

Is there any shops locally you can buy series one of the BBC show The Fall? It starts back this weekend I think and I missed the first series and want to catch up before then. Thanks

Does anybody know anywhere in the North that fits these? What sort of price?

Thanks

Does anyone have the following accessories for their iPad?

1. TV Connection for the iPad

2. Camera connection

I was hoping to buy both as I would like to watch films on iPad & connect to the TV. Plus I was hoping to do the same with Sky Go but apparently you can't which is a pity.
Anyone any experience of this & is the picture quality good?
Are the imitation ones as good as the Apple TV connection (£25)?
Do I need any other leads for audio?

Regards the camera connection I notice there are a few types of these such as 5 in 1 & 6 in 1. All I want it for is putting photos on iPad from diigital camera which has a SD card & my phone which has a Micro SD card.
Am I better sticking with apple products or will imitation ones be find?

Anyone know of any bars in and around Oxford street that would be showing the club games on TG4 today?

Has anyone ever used heart rate monitors?
Does any have a Polar Heart Rate monitor?
Which is the best one for running? Not just laps but testing for speed/sprinting etc

Has anyone on here ever got a football shirt framed or know of anyone who has got it done?
I have been asked to get a shirt framed for a fundraising event and need to find out the following information.

Any recommended places that frame football shirts?
What is the best coloured frame to get?
What is the best colour of mount to get?
Does it spoil a frame shirt if you include photos?
What is the cost of getting a shirt framed?

Hello all.
I have decided I am going to put TV on the wall in the sun room. I currently have it on a TV stand and I need some extra space so going to put it on the wall.

I have a double arm tilt and swivel one in the living room for a 40 inch TV but I am wondering which is the best one for a 32 inch TV flat against the wall. I dont want the same one as in the living as it will sit out 5 inches from the wall and then the TV to be added to that.

All recommendations welcome
