Dan Jaman

Oops, sounds like the caller had a Setanta mobile.

Few enough van insurance companies in the country as it is. No doubt the others will be rubbing their hands in anticpation of screwing you welcoming your business.

How many times is he gonna promo his own little show.. Does he ever do any work that RTE actually want him to do or does he just bully the management in to letting him do and say whatever he wants..?

HeidiHeidi

Who's that fella with the slow boring voice? (sounds a bit like Peter Matthews)

He'll have me asleep soon.

Dan Jaman

"Does 'without delay' mean 'immediately'?"
Doh!

They are regulated within the European Union which entitled them to setup in Ireland, so it is an EU problem

ThisRegard

Joe, get on to Rabo Direct and tell them to get out of the country, they're regulated from the Netherlands. It's a disgrace Joe.

Fool me twice, it's my fault ffs...

Did GW Bush move to Ireland and lose his Texan accent?

JM Skipton

Not sure why Irish Central Bank is being held up as a model of stability, Anglo were regulated by the Central Bank and that went well

Itssoeasy

So it appears geology is wasted on from Meath then ? The Dutch guy gave a perfectly correct explanation of hard and soft water and your man goes" your're taking rubbish."

That just sums up LL callers really.

Dan Jaman

Fool me twice and the owners of the insurance company are off to the Bahamas, sitting drinking iced cocktails by the pool, on my money.

my friend

The Irish are paying a levy because of Quinns activities in the UK, surely the same should apply to the Maltese over Setantas activities here?

As a Meath woman can I just say we're accepting no responsibility for that Dub!

After listening to that Dub he probably thinks he is living in Carlow....and would argue with you about it

CountyHurler

What has this got to do with Setanta closing down?

Neither am I (as a Dub blow-in living in Meath).

Yakuza

Why is another squeaky voiced dub complaining about the shenanigans of a Portuguese car hire company?

sudzs

i bet it was in the small print.

Sure half the population of Meath are asylum seekers from Dublin.:rolleyes:

sudzs

Oh wait, it was a security deposit?? So he got it back when he returned the car??

It's a conspiracy.

Don't hire a car from Antonio's Deadly Motors (or the like) and you'll be fine. Tell him to stick his car up his arse and go to a reputable company.

ThisRegard

Joe doesn't understand excess.

HeidiHeidi

So...... as I understand it, you give them a hold on your credit card (they don't actually take the money)..... if you crash the car, you lose that money (they take it then as the excess to the claim for the actual value of the damage which is covered by their insurance), and claim that back off the insurance you took out in Ireland. Have I got that right, or completely arseways?

The only problem I can see with it is that you lose the use of your credit card because there's such a big amount held on it. Maybe split that between the group?

Maybe I've got it all wrong, though.......

ThisRegard

Arrrgggh, the ignorance of these things on this show always astounds me.

JM Skipton

Surely the next caller will be
"Joe I tried to renew with Setanta today, and the only coverage they would give me was for the premier league and the rabo direct, disgrace Joe"

CountyHurler

I think the brokers are more responsible than The Central Bank. They surely knew and should have informed their clients that the company was not regulated here.

He was having trouble understanding the hard / soft water thing as well

Oh he understands excess alright, just not in the insurdance sense. The limo company looks after such mundane issues, dontcha know

The Dub in Meath who was on earlier about the water ruining his insides was the best ever!!!

Dan Jaman

What, caller; you expect the Regulator to do his job?
Gerraway.

CountyHurler

NOBODY is interested Joe... so F**K OFF

Lapin

Liveline would be an eccumenical matter.

HeidiHeidi

Has someone just copped on that the ad for the 1916 thing is misleading, and they're firefighting now so they don't have an entire programme on Tuesday devoted to thick Dubs who turned up at City Quay church for the service only to be disappointed?

I'd nearly turn up myself, just so I could be offended and complain to Joe.

ETA - in fact, the Ferryman (a fine establishment) is nearby..... why don't we organise a LahvLine beers meet, combined with an outrage session outside the church (although leaving them out of it, not their fault), and then when we're all fuelled up with righteous indignation we can go and find Joe and abuse him in person. Or ring in next week

Roger_007

Is Liveline past it's sell-by date.
I'm reaching the point where I'm hardly even interested in taking the p1ss out of Joe anymore. He has become a parody of himself.

Am I the odd one out?

Can we do it another weekend when the dart is running so we can get it to his house and protest there ?
