Q:I've very recently obtained a large amount of cash, what would be the best place to store or hide it without getting unwanted attention from the authorities?

A:The best thing to do with the cash is invest it & start your own business for you to earn more money & at the same time give job to others.

*don't think they got this one*:D

I like this! I text them something similar but was more specific, included the €7million figure. I await my response....


EDIT: A: One of the best things to do is donate to your favourite charity to help them improve their service in reaching out to more people.

Boring!

Not really a question, more of an undefined statement...

I asked 'Who is the Walrus?' expecting the fairly obvious answer "I am the Walrus". Instead I got the answer 'The walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) is a large flippered marine mammal with a discontinuous circumpolar distibution in the Arctic Ocean. Thank you."

Not a Beatles fan obviously.

Q. If a kid refuses to sleep during nap time, are they guilty of resisting a rest?

A. No. Encourage good napping habits: avoid keeping a child up too late at night, which can prevent him from sleeping during the day.

Can't decide what to have for dinner? Need to know if you should break up with your missus? Struggling to pick between heading out or staying in with a few tins? If you have a question that needs answering just drop a text to 11850 and ask them. Had some great fun on Friday night with some of the lads texting all sorts.

Give it a go and see what they say.

In the Phillipines, they opened up over there a while back, a few of the Irish managers are over there now.

When we first found out about the texting service in work we were very excited, I think it was last september that it was free to text. We had great fun with it, some of the answers are brilliant. They even knew why Jehovahs Witnesses are afraid of smurfs!

herobear

so they literally have an office where people sit and answer these questions all day ?
not very cost effective i must say.
i thought they'd use a computer which would look up keywords in your question and reply to you with google results or something.
that or allowing workers to log into a central database from a laptop, where the questions are held and reply to them one by one(work from home, i'd enjoy that).

It's a regular call-centre too, they'd have people working on the texts, other people taking calls from other services, and after 10pm all 11850 calls and other directory services (11860 international etc) are diverted there.

My dad's a Jehovah's Witness, that's how I knew about that in the first place. I've never heard about that from him though, I'd never seen the smurfs as a kid anyway, but I didn't know about that 'til my brother told me about 2 years ago!

Q. Do bald men wash their scalp with shampoo or with soap?

A. Yes. For some they used soap because shampoo is for hair care & cleansing.


Q. Comment briefly on what is meant by the dissociation of an acid (referring to Ka values), and write the dissociation equation for ethanoic acid; sulphuric acid.

A. An acid dissociation constant is a measurement of the strength of an acid in solution. Ethanoic acid equation: CH3COOH in in equilibrium with CH3COO- + H+.
