    What a day to be Irish

    Thanks mate,top of group at moment,not counting my chickens yet,but we should top the group which would leave us with Wales prob in the quarter finals with the winners playing England or France in the semis.

    Any wholesaler in Ireland should stock them.Over here you can't have two showers operating together,so they are quite commonly used

    Situation in NI

    Things aren't much better in the South mate. I looked for a job in a new nursing home in my home town and a qualified electrician can expect to take home 350 euro a week.( so much for the TEEU and union rates) The job is full of young fellas living at home with their mammies. That wouldn't...

Mind you it was a few...
