Has anyone experience of satellite broadband. Currently looking at it but the data packages seem quite small. 150Gb max.

I'm currently using Three Mobile Broadband (plug in and it works) until the fibrus roll out is completed in my area (Autumn 2022)

its giving me Approx 15mb/s for 14 quid a month - whilst its not what i want its better than the current available bt line (1-2mb/s)

Newly-promoted Bournemouth are closing on the signing of goalkeeper Neto from Barcelona, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Scott Parker wants to strengthen his Cherries squad ahead of the new Premier League season by bringing competition at goalkeeper.

Talks are reportedly at an advanced stage and a deal for the 33-year-old Brazilian could be agreed as soon as this weekend.



hopefully this dosent spell bad news for mark travers

It's a small garage in Bangor (Fusco). If I make the journey it's not to tyre kick so once i jump on that train i'm kinda committed. I was speaking to a friend of mine who works in Agnew's and he said if you get £150 of it i'll be doing well as they're cut that tight now, everyone is watching the internet like a hawk and keeping prices in tow with everyone else...

in at 14500 surely and insist they give u the premium warranty (sold for £300 by them).

if they dont budge on cost then you will get the warranty (unless they know something you dont about the car) then id be thinking twice!

Amber Springs A* for a family break - nothing worse than not being able to relax in a hotel with children. We had a break at Easter time with another family and it was great. Kids happy, adults well watered.

I've used www.pigsback.com for breaks away - some excellent deals

Bredagh are flying at football this year, top of division 2, competing well in U17 div 1 and the only team to beat table-toppers Newry Bosco. In u15 they sit top of the league with the Feile banked. At u13s they field two teams with the A's competing well in div 1 and B team are top of division 3.
At U11 they field 4 teams in East Down A, B, C, D.

It's a fantastic story and this will only benefit Down football.

And so they should be - Bredagh & Carryduff must have the largest pickings and memberships in the country

I travel newry to dublin daily;

1st step was going to the welfare office to get a pps number etc. pretty straightforward. dundalk was handy to me - just needed to land down, get an appointment and give id and explain i was starting work in the south.

I use revolut - very handy and easy to use - ive set mine up for euros and sterling. Get paid into the euro account, transfer to sterling then transfer direct to my NI account for the likes of mortgage payments etc.

On the standard revolut there is a comission charge trenasferring euros-sterling - I upgraded to the premium one for £11.99 per month. do not pay any comission for exchange now. saves 4 or 5 quid a month. also get cashback on purchases and daily spending which is another 3 or 4 quid a month so im only out 7-8£ a month using the premium one. i also find the rate revolut gives is usually that bit better than a bureau. today i'd get 84.2

Set yourself up on my welfare - i was able to take paternity benefit at the time. set up revenue.ie - you can see your tax paid etc.

i had no issues with mortgage when moving house - was a straightforward euro earning mortgage via my previous lender (progressive)

Poch is a weak manager. Got away with it because he did what levy wanted.

weak showing again at psg. player power overshadowing him. reports of neymar turning up to training drunk most days. messi does what he wants.

At least Ten Hag looks hungry - hes achieved alot with an ajax side who are a selling club. plays attractive football which OT fans want to see

Considering filling the car with red. I've heard people say i wouldn't put red in a good car. Does anyone know why? Is it not just the same product with a dye in it so customs can tell the difference.

Makes diddly squat of a difference to the car engine, its just a dye in the diesel. The benefits that used to be there (low cost) is not there anymore however. Considering its in the region of £500 (first offence NI) or 1500 euro (first offence roi) if you are dipped you need to make the decision is it enough of a risk to take. I know a lad who drove on it for years before he started getting company cars and he saved himself a clean fortune in the long run.

70l tank white currently approx £1.8p/l - 126 quid fill
same red fill approx £1.40 p/l - £98 quid fill.

is a saving of 28 quid a fill enough to make you drive on the red? I would suggest its a pain in the cahoneys checking out from fbook where the dippers are and if reports are even correct.
