Exactly. You and I paying a Carbon tax, separating our recycling, etc might as well be weeing in the wind! Between India and China they are going to kill us all with the smog so we might as well save our tax, and spend it on a Ce la vie party!

"A necessary tax."
Sure, sticking it to the pensioners (proper state-pensioners on 200 quid a week, not gold-plated ones) will solve the world's problems.

Yes he is but the problem is there is too much of the stuff in the atmosphere at the moment.

Pensioners aren't the only ones with a fire! Why do we have to keep dragging up the old chestnut "the most vulnerable Joe". This carbon tax is a joke, but maybe bringing in smokeless coal around the country might be a start

Is there a wall around Dublin to keep the culchie smoke out of the city :P

JM Skipton

Joe has no problems keeping warm in the winter

mickydoomsux

Older people and certain people on social welfare get a fuel allowance. They are the least effected by this.

ThisRegard

Old people, finding people dead in their houses. There's no better place than the Joe shoe for hyperbole.

And for having coalmen as political correspondents.

I'm not a politician and I couldn't tell you the price of any of those things.

Lowest cost base, numerous allowances and ample time to plan for their retirement and they are constantly painted as all living on the breadline huddled around candles for heat.

Don't forget dumb, from listening to Joe I expect to become an idiot as soon as I reach retirement age.

sudzs

ah yes, the cosy cartel that is the funeral business in Dublin. :mad:

And do the good gravediggers out of a job :eek:

Zero chance of that being allowed!

Closed, captive market - recipe for high prices, end of.

I know someone who passed away, and was cremated. His family were quite poor and instead of paying for someone to open the grave and list his death on the cemetery "books", they went up to the cemetery with a shovel, dug a suitable hole in the corner of the plot, said a few prayers and popped him in. We all know he's there and I think they are putting him on the headstone but he wouldn't be listed in the official cemetery book - perfect!

Sounds suspiciously like a particular phone-in radio show....

Whoy not, whoy not. Sez the man who whinged over his salary reduction.

sudzs

listen to him laughing in derision. GOD! I HATE these funeral directors.

Mike Guide 69

Ha ha, Joe planning already!!!!

woejus

Sounds like Joe has done this kind of price research before? I wonder does he ring up undertakers for the craic on his ample time off!

ThisRegard

Is Joe actually trying to negotiate a discounted funeral for himself ?

Well if they are then they or someone belonging to them needs to give St Vincent de Paul a call - there is absolutely no excuse for anybody being huddled around a flicker of a flame - there are plenty of volunteer/social groups there to help people in need, whatever your need.

A microscopic minority at most. Joe makes it sound like every single pensioner in the country is a pauper the minute they hit retirement age.

And it's all the gubbermints fault!
