Utd have went backwards since Christmas. A month ago people thought they were a shoe in for top 4, now am not so sure.
There is plenty who thought they would win the league.

Just seen a tweet that said United have the same amount of points now as they did this time last season. Is that true? After spending £150 million can United fans really call that progress?

I can't get moviebox to install on my iPhone 6. It installed not a bother on a iPad 3 I have.
The iPad is still ios7 while the iPhone is obviously the newest iOS, could this be the problem?

I've bought a good few cars in England and have an interest in them. I assume the person in the OP is from the south. It used to be a no brainer going to the UK to buy as sterling was weak but today sterling is strong. I would say it comes to a basic question of maths. Get the sterling price, convert to euro, add couple of hundred to cover flights, go to revenue.ie to calculate your VRT. Then compare this price to say carzone.ie for the same model and then make your mind up.

In my opinion cars in the UK on average are in better condition and better looked after than in Ireland but there's manys a gangster about clocking cars so make sure someone gives it a good look over (same can happen in Ireland too of course).

Now there are also a lot of dealers (in fact nearly every dealer) in the south bringing in cars from the UK and in many cases they can buy them cheaper than you could if you went over yourself. Today I would say there is feck all saving on most models that you cant get here. The ones that fleece you are the main dealers and most of them are selling the same UK 2nd hand yokes.
Japs are good etc etc. Toyota are making plenty of mistakes and in all honesty most cars have some issue or the other. Even some of  the French cars are much improved, especially Peugeot. Id stay away from Renault personally. THe only car I very seldom hear complaints about are Hondas which seem indestructible.

Zulu - 0% finance is a great way to have a new car but do you really need a new car? If I were you I'd compare the cost of 0% finance on a new model versus say a 12 month old car in the same model with less than 10k on the clock (and likely 2 years warranty remaining). Do you really want to pay the difference just to have "15" on the number plate??? Only you can answer  that one.
Would agree in principle but it is a good way for someone to pay off a new car (with safety of full warranty etc) on a monthly basis rather than trying to dredge up 20 grand cash. An equivalent loan is obviously going to have interest.
do you not have to pay a hefty enough deposit though? I looked into buying a new Kia Sportage. I had to have €8k up front then I was going to be paying €240 every month and I wouldn't even own the car after 3 years as there was an option at the end of the contract to buy it outright for another few grand.I guess the other option means handing the car back??
If I got a loan from the credit union I could buy a 2013 Sportage,same repayments and nothing up front as the loan would cover the full amount and I own the car in 3 years.
Maybe I'm missing something also when it comes to finance from the car dealer as to be honest I did find the whole thing rather confusing. Probably my own stupidity but the salesman didn't help with how he explained it.
Still haven't bought anything yet.

I have never been so bored watching a game.
