Entertainment RTE DIY SOS with Baz

2 Upvotes

Lads, love Baz and love this show! So heartwarming! Everytime I watch it though, I think to myself why does it take so long to get national infrastructure through when it seems to me ye can stick a load of tradies on a site and they will figure it out on their own?

Christ On A Bike Rmoved named driver from insurance and it went... UP?!

9 Upvotes

I can't figure this out.

I took the named learner driver off my car insurance before renewing and was sent a new quote of 150euro MORE. Wtf? I contacted CS thinking it was a mistake and they said it's correct, so I got them to add the named driver back and it went back down to the original quote.

I'm with getsetgo for years and find them great, no issues, but this makes no sense? Anyone have any ideas? I'm bemused.

Entertainment 2 old tv kids shows searching for

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

A long shot but hopefully someone here can help. There are two old tv shows I'm trying to see more of. However, they seem to be completely lost despite both having long runs. Apart from the very odd thing that has appeared online over the years not sure where else can go.

Have tried odd dedicated reddit here, tried speaking to people involved with shows and also RTE but all to little avail.

The two shows are Scratch Saturday

• Format: A children's and youth television series that ran from 1989 into the 1990s on RTÉ One.

• Content: Featured music videos, youth issues, street entertainment, reviews, and segments.

• Presenters & Crew: Presented by a team including Mary Kingston, Andy Ruane, Brian Graham, Brian Reddin, and Teresa Smith.

And Sattitude

Sattitude was a popular live Saturday-morning children's television show on RTÉ Two in Ireland that ran from 2001 to 2009.

• Target Audience: Aimed at children and teenagers aged 10 to 15.

• Format: A two-hour energetic broadcast featuring live studio audiences (broadcast from RTÉ Cork and Dublin), interactive texting, messy games, quizzes, celebrity interviews, skits, and music videos (including shows like The Simpsons and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch)

I'm hoping might be someone here that was involved in either of shows in likes of had a part on show, were in audience etc that might have something on tape or digitally? Please let me know, thanks in advance as would be wonderful to see

So Tesco mobile have chimed in with their answer to Lidl connect. €10 p/m unlimited 5g data. Sounds great, and in line with GoMos current offering.

However a check of the wee t's&c's shows that this is not a permenant or for life offer as with the other networks. This is only available for a max of 24 months then ups to €20 p/m.

Food and Drink Alternative for prepacked salads

• Upvotes

I’m trying to eat a bit healthier, and was getting Dunnes and Tesco prepared boxes of salads over the summer. A bit cold for that now. Anyone have any suggestions for some prepared stuff that’s good for cold weather/winter?

I do cook - but sometimes I’m really pushed for time, and the temptation is always there to just throw on a pizza. Dunnes and Tesco are the supermarkets that I shop in.

Food and Drink Mixed Spice ingredients for Barmbrack

Hello! I'm looking to make barmbrack for the first time and it calls for 'mixed spices'. Respectfully, I want to make sure to get it right. As I understand, mixed spices is cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and ground cloves.

For reference, this is the recipe I'm using: https://www.rte.ie/lifestyle/recipes/2017/1030/744665-irish-barmbrack/
