The little things that cost too much

It's more than that. They have to then organise and set up the repeat exams, have people invigilate the exams and then have people correct the exams and see to any appeals there after.
I'm sure the hefty fee is also meant to work as a deterrent.
No repeat fees in Trinners though! :pac:
Ya whoores
All they have to do is type up names, a timetable and send a few emails. The lecturers are the ones who write them up and supervise. I'm talking about different departments for different faculties too.
Using money as a deterrent doesn't work either. Some people genuinely struggle with certain subjects. Heathens the lot of them !0 -

The bus! It's €2.65 to get into town from where I live. And the service is ****e as well, buses every half hour. They should be coming every 15 minutes at least and there should be a flat fare of €2
Try driving/taking a taxi/walking/cycling into town for that little and come back to us. I doubt you're going to find a cheaper route somehow.

Cheaper veg in a fruit & veg shop or at your local market. Or better still if you can grow your own.
Fruit & veg is cheaper in a fruit & veg shop than any of the supermarkets. And more chance of it coming from Ireland so you're supporting more irish jobs0 -

How exactly would walking or cycling be more expensive?
I agree that bus fares are too expensive. Taxis or driving costs are too expensive as well, so the bus costing less doesn't mean an awful lot really.0 -

John Player does cigarettes you make yourself. Around €15.50 for 60 cigarettes in dosette form and the shells are around a euro for 100 of them.
I get around 30 smokes from a 12.5g pack of amber leaf for €4.75. I dont like having to make my own anyway. Id rather just take one out if a packet

I hate rolling my own but these cigarettes are easy to make up. My fella smokes them and they are strong enough.NegativeCreep wrote: »

Walking from Bray to town would be far too expensive in terms of the labour cost. It would take hours therefore not feasible. Cycling is much the same, unless the poster is super-fit and has a very decent bicycle.
It means quite an awful lot that the bus is the cheapest actually... Taxi or driving your own car would be costing far more and with the bus you just pay the fare and it brings you there without any worries of parking or anything like that. You can buy a 7 days ticket for the bus or a leap card too which saves quite a bit on each fare too.
As someone else mentioned above, mobile phone charges are another thing that's a joke in this country. 13c to send one text is just plain ridiculous.0 -

Inconvenient is not the same as expensive, though. With somewhere like Bray then yeah, the bus would be the best option, I'm not disputing that. Simply saying that just because it's cheaper than taking the car, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's cheap.0 -

Just bring your own in a small bottle.... sorted.Garlic sauce in takeaways. €1.50-€2 in some places. For 10c worth of sauce.
Ditto bacon on your burger.
Same with cheese slices for your burger.
One well known truckers restaurant at Three Ways Australia use to charge 50c for a sachet of vinegar and 10c for salt. :eek:
They could get away with it because the nearest supermarket was several hundred miles away.0 -
