what I don't understand is that the UK postal/courier services offer the same delivery charges to NI as they do within the UK but charge extra to ROI. Surely the ferry costs the same whichever route you take...
and while I'm having a mild rant: guys who sell stuff on UK forums ask for paypal payments to be sent as "gifts" so they avoid the paypal charges and the buyer gets stung for them. Pisses me off.
