    Have never set foot in the Galway social welfare office but Long Haired Beardy Guy™ must be one hell of a dude to have people be complimentary about their experience in a SWO!

    :D (i'm laughing at the TM)

    DeV.

    Completely agree with you DeV. Like I said, it just goes to show how being polite and treating people with respect can go a long long way.

    Edgedinblue - it took 8 months for my JSA claim to come through, 18 months ago. That was some backpay cheque!! :eek:

    (We survived on Mr Xiney's earnings + savings 'til then, for the record)


    Eventually I just started showing up about once a day to ask when it was going to get processed. May not have been the nicest thing to do but I was getting rather sick of it at that stage.

    That's the guy, not beardy guy, the other guy.

    Wow, a lot of big words there, and all of them correctly spelt. I'm not taking the piss out of the guy, but usually protesters have atrocious spelling for far smaller words. I'm genuinely impressed.

    Give him the dole, we need more grammar sticklers in this country.

    sorry, this was actually not in Galway, but in Ballina.

    He just left it at pouring petrol anyway, nothing else.

    There was a long dark hair girl that used to work there (maybe she still does) who was always friendly, and when I went in still waiting for my JSA to be processed after 7 months, she took ownership of the problem and said she would get it dealt with and she would phone me back, after I complained that no one was responding to my requests.

    She nearly got flowers from me for her help, but I couldn't afford them.

    Anyway I got a job a month ago after 16 months, so I wish everyone else luck in their 'adventure'

    Fair play, but might you be able to buy her the flowers now maybe?
    Would be a good morale boost. The bitterness will all be envious.

    Certainly the nicest thread I've seen about a guy in a balaclava creating a civil incident.

    community welfare officers!! nice people except for one particular one who shall remain nameless but all who have had the pleasure of dealig with her will know who I'm talking about!!

    she messed me around so much last year I could really see how some people snap and do crazy **** (I wanted to make the new saw movie with her starring in it, really I did!!)

    thankfully I've moved on but I'm still paying rent from my dole cos if I go back to her again I'll be back to square one

    They're making a six part TV series about the whole t-shirted protest thing. Commissioned by RTÉ and airing next June. It is already quoted in the Irish Independent as being a "tense and disturbing insight... as to how far someone will go to have their voice heard". It will be scheduled for the post watershed slot due to strong language and explicit frequent nudity.
