Hi, Got no idea where to post this and cos i'm new Boards wont let me post on a soccer thread! I need some info and after looking around here I came across this page and it seems to be the only page it will let me post on.......Hope someone may be able to help.
In 1968 Waterford United played against Man U. at Lansdown road as I'm sure a lot of you guys on here are aware. My question is about a Waterford crystal soccer boot that was made for and presented to George Best by Shay Brennan to commemorate the game. Its inscribed, tho I'm not sure of the exact wording right now. Does anyone know anything about this? Or where I might get some information about it? I've searched around the net with no success!
Anyway if you can help in any way it would be great! If not no worries,
Thanks a lot

Hi Waterfordgal,

General Q. How do you go about finding out if a house is council owned or private landlord?

Go down to the land registry in the manor and do a search, €2.50 I think takes about ten minutes.

I've been using Rapid Cabs for the past 3 months going to and from my house and Waterford Regional Hospital (for orthopaedic and physio appointments).

Booked a taxi yesterday evening for 9.30 this morning. At 9.15 the taxi driver rang me saying she was in Ferrybank and looking for directions for my house out in Slieverue. I gave her very specific directions, directions which every other taxi driver in the company have been able to follow (and all other delivery men, such as Tesco and couriers). At 9.30 I got a phone call telling me she was outside my house. When I booked the taxi I had asked if the taxi driver would mind going around to the back of the house as I am on crutches (one of the other taxi drivers showed me that on their little digital displays this instruction in included) so I asked her if she wouldn't mind driving around the back of the house and the taxi driver started screaming down the phone at me asking how was she supposed to go around the back of the house, kept saying she was out the front. In the interests of making my appointment on time I wobbled around to the front of the house. No taxi.

At 9.35 standing out the front of my house, I rang the taxi driver's number again and asked her where she was, she told me she was at the third house (there are four houses together and we are in the third house), I told her that she wasn't at the third house and she started screaming down the phone at me that she was at the third house, parked out the front and that she will go around the back to me. She then hung up. A few minutes later a car came up the driveway, drove around the back of the house, did a u-turn and left again, all in quick succession, she did not stop even for a second. When I realised that she was after driving off down the driveway I rang her and asked her where she was, again she started screaming down the phone that she was at the third house. I said to her that I was at the third house and she told me that I wasn't :rolleyes: I said to her that I had an appointment at 10 o'clock at the hospital and just to forget about it altogether. No intention of sitting in a taxi with her after the way she spoke to me.

So I was in the process of organising a lift from one of my friends out to the hospital and Rapid Cabs rang me to apologise and looking for directions to send another driver out and I told them not to bother and that I wouldn't be using them again. That's after costing them about €50 a week (bear in mind that they also have taxis at the rank outside the hospital), I know that's not a huge amount but it's a lot of money to me to be paying for an unreliable service so it won't be going to them.

I ended up 20 minutes late (and basically missed my appointment because the person I was seeing had another patient due) for my appointment because of that woman :mad: :mad:

Anybody know if they're taking applications for WCFE this late? I emailed them about it and they said they are re-opening late applications in 2 weeks time, but I have a feeling it will be for only a very few select courses.

daenerysstormborn3

Jesus you're after giving me a fright coco. I emailed them yesterday about applications for evening classes (to check if they were still open) and the director of adult education e-mailed me back saying "Enrollments do not start until September" :eek:

cocoshovel

Ah Im talking about the full time courses. I should have applied back in April really but at the time I was doing a different fetac course which I now have decided that its not the right educational route for me to go down. Im hoping they will accept my application and interview me but tbh I have a feeling deep down inside that they definitely wont.

daenerysstormborn3

Phew! Fingers crossed it'll work out for you. I don't have any info on the full-time courses though, sorry

Yeah hop up onto the path on Francis Street and start shouting abuse at the cars that pass. You'd be guaranteed to get your own thread then.
