A couple of the lads in work have them. Haven't heard of any fraying, but they do bitch about how it leaves lines down the screen - it cleans the screen but not where the folds are.

I'd thought about the smart cover but wanted something enclosed so that I could fire it about without worrying about scrapping the shite out of the back. ( not that I'm overprotective of it)

It's just like the pirating issues going on at the minute. When will content providers realise that the abuse of monopolies by setting high prices is not working. If enough people don't want to pay their prices then there is something wrong with their price/distribution method. They are dinosuars that will go extinct if they don't adapt to the technological world we now live in

It was easy to see from early on that we were in for a tough night. Tyrone were just second best all over the field - everytime we pulled back a couple of points the dubs would score a couple more in quick succession. Their intensity and style of play reminded me of Tyrone in the good days.

Thanks to all the lads - they've giving us some great days out and owe us nothing.

Be ready to receive the phone call. Don't have them having to phone back.

Know what the company does, it only will take 10mins surfing to get enough detail. You are applying there so at least show some interest

I've used this one in Kennedy Way Industrial Estate, just past the recycling plant. Seems decent enough.

They stuck a clutch in for me a few years back. Car was hard to start after that any morning, cold or not. Only did a visual check and said everything ok. Ended up getting some else to look into it who sorted it no bother. Cost me a few pounds though.


I've been talking mine to a fellla out by carryduff. Good job and can deal in cash. Let me know if you would like his name and I'll PM the details

Totally shocked at this news. Can even begin to imagine what John had to discover. Never met her but she came across as a really nice lass. My prayers are with the Harte and McAreavey families.

May she rest in peace.

Hotmail has calendar functionality as well. Plus you can now creat/edit office docs online as well.
You can sync the calendar with outlook and with a number of different phones. E.g. iPhone

Take the mushrooms out of the plastic packaging. I normally just take the cling film off and let them breathe. They last longer that way.

30mins for steak - such a waste, but each to their own. 3mins each side in the frying pan is just about right. Mind you it has to be good quality meat.

Cheers folks. I'd thought of a few of the mentioned ones so must phone a few and see what their prices are like. Live a stones throw from the four winds but never been to their restuarant. Would've been easier to try these places out before the wee man was born

The wife also mentioned that the La Mon does a good carvery - anyone ever ate there?

Hi folks,

Having a chrisitening in a months time and was wondering if any of you had any suggestions for sunday lunch in Belfast. Christening should be over about 3.30 -4.  They'll be about 20 adults with a few kids. Havent eaten out much in Belfast so it's doing my nut in - don't want to pick somewhere crap

Cheers

Any word on stevie?

Never made it to the match today, but it was strange to see a team try to defend a deficit like Down did in the second half!

Not wanting to create another argument but to in my thinking it didn't matter what the solvency ratio was as the amount of loans from other parts of the Quinn group secured on QI if called in would've erradicated the solvency level.

Maybe that's why the regulator put the foot down. I do however think that the regulator did move too fast and should've laid down the law and gave QI a few months to get it sorted. It's making a mess of the lives of Fermanagh/Cavan people and if it was a foreign company the gov would be doing their best to keep the jobs. Why did they not do the same for a local company
