whats wrong with being anti union caller?

DuckHook

Why is joe not pulling this guy on his use of the word exploited?

Nobody knows if permission was sought but can definitely say it wasnt. ?

vicwatson

Padraig Yates?

Is it a real ad? Doesn't look like it.

Do you fancy giving up all the rights and improvements that unions brought over the years? I certainly don't.

vicwatson

RTE own it? Ahhhhhhhh

snubbleste

Was she called by the programme? Or is that a stoopid query..

neris

by the sounds of this shes been doorstepped and doesnt have a clue whats going on or being discussed

shockwave

Joes team trawling the phone book trying to find people to get outraged.

signostic

none of them have any clue.....RTE copyright dept could be worth a call

At first I thought the advertising exec that suggested using Jim Larkin's image to sell beer should be sacked for being ridiculous and quite possibly drunk himself.

Now I think he deserves a promotion and a payrise.

It's obvious now. Put Larkin's boat on a poster for beer. Get a weeks worth of publicity on Liveline !

vicwatson

Yeh Duffy don't be talking about it giving it free advertising - "jim Larkin's family on line 2"

I concur

An Claidheamh

So was there an actual poster with Larkin or was it just proposed?

I was hoping she would Duffy ask if she was entitled to a few slabs of free beer

JONJO THE MISER

Too lazy to go to the post office.

snubbleste

Joe drops the to again

withless

Bad Line!!!!

An Claidheamh

Little does Joe realise that Jim Larkin has as much in common with the likes of him and the Labour Party, as Michael Collins does with Fine Gael and Kenny and Shatter.

HeidiHeidi

Am I the only listener who can't understand a word this woman is saying?

vicwatson

"Lets hear the dial tone" - Ok, so this is why we pay him 400k a year - to present sh1te ?

An Claidheamh

"Let's hear the dial tone"

That'd be more exciting actually!

neris

wonder how joe pays the tax on duffy mansions. does joe pay it by card or do claddagh green pay it by direct debit

ThisRegard

Just tuned in, feckin eejit line again I see.

Idiots.

Dan Jaman

"I'm a Decent Citizen, Joe."

HeidiHeidi

Why don't you all (including the voice on the Revenue line) talk over each other, so that we the listening public can understand even less of what's going on..... :mad:

(Joe as the boss gets to shout over everyone else)

An Claidheamh

"Telephones and the waiting?"

How did she get on the Lavlahn then?

An Honest Skin.

A Joe Soap.

A True Dub.

A Gent.

A wooooorka.

neris

that was the bizzarest comment of all time "im a relativly intelligent person i can use a telephone and push all these buttons"

HeidiHeidi

Why does Joe think we want to hear about this woman's home subsiding?

Muck-raking at its worst.

The back of my house subsided, I had to knock it down and rebuild it - should I be ringing Joe?

sudzs

Swallow hole???

neris

YES!!! And ask him about the leg!!

HeidiHeidi

Oh Joe, you're soooooooo funny.

Not.

signostic

not only did the callers house subside, this edition of lavlahn is slowly subsiding into the abyss...

An Claidheamh

How does he know they overpaid it?

HeidiHeidi

Revenue are 100% willing to pay you back if you can prove that you overpaid (income tax) - and they do it in jig time. Excellent service to deal with.

Why would anyone have overpaid in the first place??? And why should Revenue be responsible for finding YOUR mistake and rectifying it (when it's of no benefit to them and would cost them money)

ThisRegard

Duffy is a real dick whenever it comes to this topic, if I worked in revenue I'd be picking him for 'a random' audit every year.

sudzs

Not a word am I getting of this call.... :rolleyes:

HeidiHeidi

Why is everyone talking from the bottom of a well today

HeidiHeidi

I thought all long-term-ill people were entitled to a medical card - has that changed?

If they're going to go to the trouble of giving you a (double) transplant, they should surely make sure that you can afford to make the most of your new bits......

withless

Does anyone have any idea what the point of this call is?

HeidiHeidi

Has the entire LL listenership fallen asleep?

Joe still awake as illness is on Line 1......

CountyHurler

Could you imagine if one of the donor's relations rang in and said "You must be the most ungrateful bi-atch I've ever met. Give us the fekn organs back".

An Claidheamh

If Joe's a socialist, shouldn't he be in favour of taxes? For services?

....oh wait.

An Claidheamh

Joe never asks people to "back up" allegations against the civil service,

....but when it's the government.

In fairness, I'd rather give this woman a medical card for her meds as she got an illness and had no control over it, rather than some druggie on methadone, who is ill due to their own stupidity, IMO
