I didn't really know how to organise them, suggest changes if you think it should be sorted out some other way.

Keep 'em coming people !!

I though it might be a good idea to recommend websites.
Don't assume that everyone knows a website that you use.

Here's two I suggest.

www.jcpenney.com
for cheap Levis, Dockers etc from USA
TIP: When it comes to 'proceed to checkout', click on the ALTERNATE FORM for international customers and when completed, choose the delivery that takes a few weeks rather than the expensive 'express'. Sometimes, I repeat sometimes, this method of delivery escapes the attention of the revenue folk. This site is also good for womens clothes so tell the missus.

www.virtualtourist.com
is great for planning a holiday. Rear clever reviews of hotels and find out where to get nice food outside of the usual tourist traps. It's interesting to read reviews from foreign tourists to Ireland

www.footballstreaming.info links and info on how to watch free football online.

How do you know the Mandarins of Revenue don't read this site. Giving the game away.:eek:

Seeing as I'm currently injured I find www.physioroom.com excellent for all aspects of treatment and rehabilitation.

www.rollercoaster.ie

Anything to do with parenthood in Ireland including adoption, premature babies, IVF, multiple births, fatherhood, nutrition, etc

The message board is very helpful too.

http://www.clickatell.com/
