    I've a question on single/married tax credits

    At the moment I'm single (Revenue view me this way, Social Welfare view us as co-habitating), we're engaged, she's unemployed and not receiving anything from the State because we're 'co-habitating', and it's lookinng unlikely she'll get the Maternity Benefit (in our fúcked up system they won't even give her that).

    How much better off would we be if we were married, tax wise? We were planning on getting married this year, but with the pregnancy we've postponed it. At this stage, if it meant a serious improvement in income, I'd be prepared to do a registry office job for the paperwork, and have a party later in the year or next year for the celebration.

    Afaik, being a cohabiting couple doesn't entitle you to take on your partner's tax credits in the same way a civil partnership (gay couple) would.

    Check it out with the Tax Office to make doubly sure as I could be reading this totally wrong. Just remember that you have to wait three months before you can get married from when you apply.

    I recommended it on a different forum, I know there's a good bit of propaganda crap in it but felt it was a better doc on the subject than most of the real propaganda crap you get on the discovery/Geographic channels.

    You're right, I rang the Revenue about this - the girl on the phone said a lot of people had rang up about it, but you have to be married. She sounded a little embarrassed...

    I later found out, that if you don't specifically make your wishes known before you die, that if you are a confirmed Catholic you'll be buried as one.
    Which winds me up a good bit, because if I were to drop dead today, there's a good chance I'd be given a Catholic funeral.

    Cant remember who posted this a good while back but i do remember they thought it was a bit of a strange idea......i actually like it & would consider it,

    For some reason, younger kids are taught (i'm guessing they're taught considering the amount of times I've heard this lately) that that is dead people going to heaven.
    I say 'no it's not', they say 'our teacher said it was', and I say 'your teacher is wrong, go and look it up you gullible child'.

    Fixed your post there JT in bold:D

    No but seriously i agree, i have a problem with the whole religious nonsense being woven into the fabric of everything to the degree it is, like as above you noted even natural phenomena but you do have to be a little more tactful with the chilldren you are attempting to assisst than just being bluntly dismissive of what they have been falsley told elsewhere. Childrens minds are delicate & it needs a little more diplomacy applied. Hence the old saying 'Handle with kid gloves'

    .

    This is where you display a certain amount of naivety clouded to you by your enthusiasm for the opposition of the subject you are discussing, you havnt got a clue what you will be like in 10 years time like all of us, for all you know you could be a priest on missionary work by the time your 36:eek:
    Again seriously i am not suggesting that you will compromise your beleif (rightly) that you should set children straight when people try & link religious nonsense into normal everday life but i do think you will develop, like i said already, a more diplomatic approach to how you handle such things which is what Scuba was saying also.

    I was at a christening in Roscommon last year and the priest actually boasted about how somebody wanted to defect and he wouldn't let them because 'you're a Catholic from baptism'. That's fcuked up. No matter what way you look at it, that is seriously wrong.

    What if you got baptised by a different religion?

    What i am getting at is, if you went & got baptised by the church of satan im sure you would be out of the catholic church and seeing as its all a load of hocus pocus its just another irrelevant ceremony that was conducted yes?

    Funerals is a tough one. For me - I don't really care what happens to my body after I die - once I'm gone, that's it. Funerals are more for the people who are left behind. If I die within my parents life time, even though they know my views I wouldn't hold it against them for having a Catholic funeral - if it made it easier for them that's all that matters, I'd be gone. What my preference would be, would be a proper old school wake - the coffin with me in it gets laid out in a room at home. People come there to pay their respects, and get mightily drunk recanting tales of what a great old sod I was (once can hope right?). Then they'd burn the body. Simples.

    Again,

    There was a track playing a minute ago, had a vocal 'Bang bb-bang bang bang'. I'm fairly sure Rob Hood played it, if not then I definitely heard it at some stage during that night. Anyone got an ID on it?

    (yes I feel like a bit of a tit asking for an id of a techno track that goes 'bang bang bang bang')


  • Registered Users Posts: 832 ✭✭✭Eddie Ere


    I'm keeping an eye on the chat box, think it might have been the new Silent Servant track.

    Don't even know the name of it sorry, just what was appearing in the chat box when that track was playing (amongst all the japanese symbols).


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,111 ✭✭✭joker77


    Doesn't sound like him... maybe

    I'm on the hunt now for this track though, want to get it ID'd. So again - male voice in it saying 'bang bang bb-bang bang'. Techno track, a lot of crash symbol in with the kick drum...

    That's about all I've got to go on...
