Yeah my area is rampant with local "venezulan" plumbers and the local nicaraguen electricians are causing a severe housing shortage

It's the columbian pharmacists that I have serious questions about.

This sounds like a lazy plumber. Get rid of the other fellas so us special people can jack up the prices and rip everyone off again.

50% of vans would be off the road the way things are at the moment

My ears have been assaulted by those doooblin vowels and consonants

Load of badly-thought-bollix. I know a kitchen guy using a Fiesta (or some other rat-like hatch) I also know of others using cars/estate cars and trailers.

neris

They have to have a commercial vehicle?? Mate of mine was a plumber who used his honda civic for jobs. If itd fit in the car it went in the car if not he ordered for next day delivery.

Instead of unFunny Friday, they should devote the last Friday of every month to con stories. They always make me laugh. Tom the Con could be the special guest in the studio.

I bet it's that wag Mike Murphy up to his old tricks again..

The poor clampers' good names are being used in this scam

JonathanAnon

I thought about your show Joe... i.e. a man taking a load of money he didnt earn..

HeidiHeidi

You saved me from myself, Joe.

You'd think these guys would vary their stories just a little bit.

Mind you, it clearly works some of the time if they're still at it a year or more later!

"Get away from me, I don't know you!"

Harry Angstrom

Fordinners Joe.

Lenin Skynard

"Ah howaya Mary I haven't seen ya in ages!"

"Get away from me I don't know you!"

Dan Jaman

Some wanker drove into my yard a couple of years ago, with the big hellos and handshakes and how's it going bollix.
I didn't know the bollix from Adam.

Imagine if it was a genuine long lost friend who'd recognised her after 20 or 30 years?

Revenue making life simple..... I dont think so. The only simple thing revenue will ever do is tell you how much you owe them and threaten you

Ah now, in fairness, I've never had any trouble dealing with revenue, and they're very forthcoming with their rebate cheques when a return shows you've overpaid......

I think they're one of the better/best departments to deal with!

sudzs

Stop that one person is one family shyte Joe. There are a lot of single people out there you know. :rolleyes:

Meathlass

In fairness Revenue couldn't tell her how much her potential employee would get in net income - who knows what the employee could be getting in allowances etc which are none of the employers business.

Is there no brainbox in these departments who can match people in need with carers who actually live in/near their area

They wouldn't be let, because then there'd be no reason to complain on Liveline and push for more money.

Dan Jaman

Some agencies are rip-off artists.
Why no; say it ain't so! :eek:

snubbleste

More publicity for Diageo Day

I haven't heard a single one of them who is looking for more money.

Just waiting for the inevitable Liveline genius:

Caller: "Joe I was offered a job, but I worked it out that the commute was gonna cost me more than the job paid."
Joe: "And where was the job? "
Caller: "Australia, Joe"...
