Is she currently on hold waiting to tell us the story all over again ?

Fair enough, he should have been wearing a helmet.

JM Skipton

What will probably happen now in typical Liveline fashion is that the phone lines will be jammed with other callers who have been struck by lightening

Hitchens

Two callers in and no salt o de earth dub yet? :eek:

True.

Its probably better to put money aside ever time you make a trip.

It always seems to me that there is so much messing when trying to claim insurance.

Its quite irrational. You pay for a policy, then argue with them for months, then they cut a deal if they feel like it.

Really its a scam.

Degringola

Moral of the story: read exactly what you're covered and not covered for before you travel, even if it's 27 pages long.

Tuning in late... is that Brian Dobson on the line??!

Likely no difference in the outcome.

This guy is talking himself out of a payout.

We might get lucky and have somebody on who has been struck by lightening twice..

An Claidheamh

Can anybody tell me if there was a reason Joe was out last week?

He's off for the summer for months, only works 5 hours a week (doing very little!), gets paid 300k +.

And yet he doesn't mind telling us about his other projects and what he does.

AK333

He shouldn't have sent his policy in. Thats what informed them of the level of cover he had. Had they said they couldn't find it, the insurance company couldn't be sure of which updated copy of the policy he had (they change them constantly) and they wouldn't have had grounds to cancel it.

Joe writing his "what I did on my holidays" again.

furiousox

"I have a very boring voice Ted"

snubbleste

Anyone else shocked that Joe has not managed to find a tenuous Irish link with Crimea or MH370 ?
Normally there is a 'Marie in egypt' or 'Mike in sydney'..maybe he does not care any more?

Mike Guide 69

Has Joe gone off to the jacks??

My eyelids are feeling very very very heavy.......

artful_codger

Is Joe doing his tax returns?

In fairness he is only a contractor so he could in theory take 6 months off if he wanted. He invoices for his time .....I mean he issues a fee. Not defending him by the way I can't be doing that:D

Roger_007

I think we have the gist of the story by now.......move on!

His holidays are not half as long these days as the Celtic tiger era though.

Padraig in Sevastopol is too locked with his new Russian drinking buddies.

To pay for medical care in America by putting money aside before a trip there you'd want to be winning the lotto on a weekly basis.

my friend

Where the Fugg is the insurance regulator (Central bank zombies)

Why are BS policies allowed to be sold?

This is another failure of our weak and useless regulators

Well done to the thousands of spoofers hanging out in the central bank

Degringola

While I do feel for him, has Reinhard anything new to tell us or is this word-for-word the same as the last session a couple of weeks ago? I suspect it was Joe who called him today.

ThisRegard

Is Padraig the lightening guy ? What's his mate got to do with Reinhard(t) ?

Hitchens

I think his name is Reinhard but Joe makes it sound like Ryanair :P

ThisRegard

He's going to make this a long boring story ffs.

furiousox

Ah feck this, I'm off.

my friend

Is this lad in 3rd level educatuion? Or is this Pauric calling in?

Roger_007

This guy is also afflicted with Reinhards Disease, (boring voice).!
