Facepalm

Ponster

before the thread gets locked I thought that even if 1 person learned something new it might be useful to say that 112 is the European emergency number.

OP. No point in calling someone if we couldn't say where they had to go. You'd have to post your name and address along with what was the problem. I think you'd be dead at that stage.

Hahahahahahahah...... SNAP!

Believe it or not, 911 will auto divert to 999 over here!

OldGoat

The emergency numbers in Ireland are 999 and the new European number 112 but someone told me that if you call 911 you will still get through to the emergency services and that this facility had been put in place because we watch so many 'murcan films and TV that lots of people call that number automatically.
Can anyone confirm if 911 will reach the (Irish) emergency services?

I'd sit back apathetically and presume someone else will

not yet

No.......I'd let him brutally murder you and dismember your body,hide it in the fridge and take on your identity, then I'd ring.

Why would you? If you have time to post on the net you've time to email the guards

I'd email the gardai a link to this thread.

I'd love to see you threatening the burglar about what you'd done.

"You'd better get out now while you can. I've posted my address details online and any minute now 43 Dominos delivery men, 15 taxi men, 5 hookers, a skip, and two tonnes of gravel are going to be in the drive and one of them is bound to have a mobile".

Cable, wifi... OP: Install Skype. Fast. You could accidentally slip and fall on a knife at any moment.

Easy! Loads of broadband is available wireless without landlines! Most mobile providers have a broadband package and you don't need a land line or phone!
Or you could be picking up someone else's broadband that isn't locked!

They advise you not to ring emergency numbers using Skype though. Apparently it's because there's no way for them to track you, if you are incapable of talking.

Ring 11850 instead. It wont help you, but it sure is nifty.

I'd consider "don't accidentally slip and fall on a knife" better advice. 'They' have their priorities wrong.

Are you on webcam while whatever emergency it is is going on?

Can we sit back like disaffected internet zombies and watch you get raped/murdered/fellated eh......attacked?

If so then no. No I'll hold off on that phonecall for a while.
