Re: Dealz Stores in Dublin - Not all that glistens is Gold..
There is a second Dealz in the retail area where Lidl and Home Store and more are located. It is much bigger than the Nutgrove Centre one. Parking fine too.

Re: selling sovereigns
So with an Ebay sale, would you register the item when posting and how would you receive payment? wait for it to arrive? seems bit open to fraud??

Re: GOOD Long wave / FM / AM RADIO
I must admit to listening to a lot of radio during the night if wakeful so bit serendipity'. This would be mostly Newstalk, and blissfully free of ads. Only one hour of 'catch up' on RE .... but the radio podcasts are good way to chase down some item of interest that you might have caught half of. N...

Re: selling sovereigns
Would weight be significant issue if 'mint'? seems expensive route to go with auction house and is it 20% commission. Too valuable for ebay? Must make enquiries... and I see online auctions nowadays, could be addictive!

Re: New tablet
Thanks for replies both of you. I need to travel again on Tuesday so might go for something cheap, a chance to replace some of photos when away. I am near Sandyford and I see a couple of tech repair places there and one used by Samsung in warranty ( which mine is not). Youtube tells me that it is a ...

New tablet
My 5 yrs old Samsung tablet has 'died' ... the port for power cable is broken ( not full of fluff!). I used it often and it filled a gap between phone and laptop especially for travel. It had a great screen so I liked it for TV viewing, decent camera and also made reading electronic newspapers a ple...

Re: Ryanair treatment of passengers
Not so easy these days to be printing up boarding pass. My home printer is less used and misbehaves and when away it is not so handy to find a printer.
As for the story in I Times, it was a long one and needed a full page to relate so not easy to precis.

A well written piece by Conor Pope in today's I Times. I had reason to lodge a complaint myself last week. I see I need to escalate matters to get any attention!

I donated large collection of stamps to some charity. I still cannot bin stamps that come in post but save them and a meagre collection these days makes its way to the charity via an intermediary.

Re: What is the most thorough health checkup someone should get for an undetected chronic health issue?
I have always been annoyed that cars get better attention than people. It is very easy to fall between the cracks with medical stuff eg not following up on referrals/blood tests/scan etc. I am guilty of that but never remarked on by GP.

Re: Hand-painted postcards: quality art for buttons
In our family we have several autograph books from early 20th Century. Several of the pages have lovely artwork, signed and dated. It seemed to be a thing to do, to be able to paint/draw like being able to play piano... but there were servants for the cooking!
