I did say a few weeks ago I would report them to OFCOM but they didn't bite. Is it just a matter of ringing OFCOM or is it a long paper exercise?

General discussion / Leaving a mobile phone contract
April 14, 2018, 09:40:56 PM
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?

No lawnmower bought yet and TBH with this weather I may not need one.

A number of people have recommended Mountfield, Castel Garden, Husqvarna and Alko but still unsure what to go for. I would prefer the Hydrostatic mower as it's automatic but I know they are more expensive.

More advice was not to go with side collector as it always has to be cleared so best to go with collector at the back of mower.

I will just have to hope one is advertised on Gumtree / Donedeal or EBay for reasonable money.

Where are you based?
Do you know someone who makes them?

General discussion / Portable GAA Goalposts

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.

Yes they look good but are expensive. Would need one that could cut large garden which would possibly be £2000 for robotic one.

Lads, any recommendations on the best ride on lawnmower to buy?
What brand is best? And what price bracket are they?

Another try for this lads..

A GPS watch with a separate stop watch function? Anyone know of any?

Have a look at the amazfit pace.  I'm not 100% sure it has the stopwatch function but i think it does (i dont own it).

Thanks, will have a look!

Wouldn't necessarily have to be a smart watch, just as long as it tracks runs and has the stop watch.

Looking for a sports watch that simply tracks KMs ran and has a separate stop watch for timing football matches / training sessions. I tried a Fitbit but it was a waste of time as it steps increased while I was driving so wasn't any way accurate. No GPS watch I have come across seems to have a separate stop watch that isn't linked to a run. Any ideas?

Anyone ever use www.blinds2go.com to purchase blinds? If so are they any good?
Are there any recommended window blinds suppliers in the North?
Bloc Blinds in Mid Ulster area looks good and have good reviews. Expensive though.

Bloc blinds are superb. You won't be disappointed with them

Yes they look great and seem to be excellent job. Surely ones that are cheaper will do the same job anyhow? Don't want to get the cheapest ones but somewhere in the middle for resonance money.

I definitely can't justify spending the £1500 quoted as I knew it was too expensive but was wondering did anyone else have it installed at this price. I will get the output covers for the wall and fit them and that will take bad look of the walls.

Surely the whole system doesn't cost that amount. Would £500 jot be a more realistic price and then possibly £100 for labour to install it.

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.
