General discussion / Soccer child abuse scandals
« on: November 30, 2016, 01:05:40 PM »
Surprised it hasnt be brought to light by the usual thread starters.. Seems more and more clubs have had a history of this and Chelsea only recently 'paid off' and person who was abused while at their club...
Will our local clubs soccer/rugby/GAA be looking into their own affairs? We have excellent child protection courses but how many are vetted properly ?

General discussion / The medical thread
« on: January 21, 2016, 08:12:48 AM »
Thought I'd get this topic up before Seafoid did 
Any illness and ways you've dealt with them
Are doctors (GP's) just doing the basic checks or with the power of Internet is it better to self diagnose and self medicate rather than time spent at local surgery?
And with the likes of Randox health checks is it better to get a kit that could check your blood,cholesterol, blood pressure and other things that the normal GP carried out

General discussion / London
« on: October 26, 2015, 06:33:50 PM »
Heading to London this summer with the family, Booked flights for early July and plan to stay for 5 days, obviously looking to do the usual stuff, take in a show (Les Miserables, Maltilda, or others ) London Eye, Harry Potter studio tour (for the kids 
) Madame Tussauds and other stuff... Looking to book a hotel or rent an apartment .... Premier Inns have prices ranging from £555 to £800 depending on location... Earls Court was the cheapest rate .. any experience on these?
Looking tips on travel also, tube over bus? Prices like five day family passes and the like ? Looked at booking a show and prices on tickets are cheaper than what the actual price is plus booking fee! is it cheaper to get when we get there or is there a chance of missing out on the show???
Would love to have most of this paid before getting there as I'm sure I'll spend a fortune over the 5 days!

General discussion / Sales
« on: July 22, 2014, 09:33:32 PM »
Mates been offered a post in medical sales, totally out of his comfort zone but the wages (targets met obviously) seem more than reasonable, no cold calling or any of that, the public phone for appointments so that side of things isn't too bad.
Anybody ever taken a job that's been out of their comfort zone and it has worked out for them?

General discussion / The how do you fix.......... thread
« on: March 07, 2014, 11:16:02 AM »
How do you fix an alarm?
Friend of mine alarm went off when the electric went out in the area last week, came home and the alarm was going off, she never used it before and didn't have the code for it (It's in an apartment complex) I think eventually she unscrewed it or whatever to make it stop.
Was wondering is there a way of resetting it and putting in a new code so she can use it?
I imagine it's connected to the mains and that's why it went off

General discussion / employment laws
« on: January 16, 2014, 04:48:55 PM »
Any experts on here? Friend of mine was working for a company for 4 odd years, his attendance at start wasn't the worst but wasn't the best either, though in his work there are no clock in system and he was never pulled for it or got a warning for it either. Last 2 years it dramatically improved and all good. He recently went for another job, totally different discipline and got the job after 2 interviews/presentations. So he handed in his 4 week notice all good. Employers not that really bothered.
His new employers phoned him to say say that they won't be taking him on as a reference that they sent out had been filled in with both timekeeping and attendance filled as being poor, now he's no job!! If there are no records of poor attendance and bad timekeeping has he a case with the industrial tribunal on an employer filling in reference unfairly?

General discussion / TV problems
« on: December 26, 2013, 07:21:00 PM »
Well it's more like a aerial problem, I've ports in each room for connect leads to the the tellys for the kids room, now they never used them as much as they would have thrown on dvd's instead but my problem is I cant seem to get a signal when I put it to auto tuning.
Now i have connected the leads to the port and back of TV and nothing, I've also a "TVLink" box up in the roof space which seems to be linked to all the connectors and the lead goes out the wall and I think it must be linked to the aerial outside turned it on, nothing!!, now with all the digital stuff going on I don't know whether it matters (clueless) on this.
Anyone know what to do?
