Hmm I don't know, I've seen 300 lb men crying into their beer after sports before. I'll take your word for it though

Watching clips of My Bloody Valentine's gigs from 2008 just makes me wish I could see them again. Very thankful that I got to see them twice though!

Eugh Edinburgh.

I don't think I'll ever get over being stranded there last November/December.

Hotel management are complete cnuts. We've a family wedding coming up soon, and due to a recent VAT reduction on all touristy things, the hotel are supposed to refund us the difference in the VAT we have paid. Sadly they aren't playing ball and want to keep the money themselves instead.

House alarm went off at 2:30 (approx) this morning, and wouldn't switch off. Some fault with the control box. Monitoring company unavailable on their landline and their out of business hours mobile number, rang the local garda station for a contact number and they advised me to try 11811 or 11850 (seriously). Eventually fell asleep due to sheer exhaustion more than anything else and the alarm finally stopped ringing at 10 this morning.
Rang the company again and they're sending someone to take a look at the control panel later today, so I'm home from work until he arrives.

Not sure they are supposed to refund you on what you've paid, unless you only paid since last Friday. VAT applies at the rate at the time of the transaction rather than, in this case, the date of the wedding. They should reduce the price for anything outstanding though.

Having heard yer man Kerr on Newstalk trying wriggle out of the reduction, I don't expect too many businesses playing ball, and so the Government should put back up the rate asap.

I've been talking to a few people about it, and there's equal voices saying its date of wedding as there is to the time of transaction. The grooms looking into it, but they've to pay the rest on Monday, and the Hotel won't make any concessions. Probably end up being a sour relationship between hotel and the newlyweds on the big day over this.

I'm sure I heard a radio interview where the financial expert said the reduced rate applied to money falling due, so the hotel seems to be playing hard and fast with the rules. One option comes to mind, based on the path of least resistance, since weddings are stressful enough without having to put up with crass profiteering: pay the amount demanded, return a copy of the invoice marked "without prejudice" (or a letter stating the same) and, after the wedding, lodge a claim with the Small Claims Court.
