It's so rare .... cue hundreds of people ringing up with the same disease

There was a letter in the Irish Times today:

Sir, – Is it fair that single people should have to pay as much for water as married people, who have the advantage of no longer needing to wash themselves? – Yours, etc,
EUGENE TANNAM,
Monalea Park,
Firhouse,
Dublin 24.

He has a point. Plus us singletons will also be subsidising families as kids have an allowance.

Why is nobody ringing advising people to have a whores bath instead of all this power showering?

For anyone interested here's the method:

Take 1 large towel and wet half of it. Rub all over with the wet half and dry off with the dry half. (cup of coffee and cigarette afterwards are optional)

Meathlass

Where is everyone today? Boards tis very quiet

All bored into a coma by the latest caller - I'm listening and even I don't know what he's actually on about......

Medical cards are supposed to be issued where there is financial hardship, not because you have any specific condition.
I notice Joe never asks what the financial circumstances are?

How about taking the dishes into and under the power shower - job done

The trouble is the OAP's in Ireland have had it so good for so long, now they have to justify some of the allowances they receive and they go bonkers. If you can afford it, you should pay for it

As far as I can see there are two ways of issuing cards, either on medical or financial grounds. People always seem to try and mix these two. If you're over the limit financially then that's it. I'm glad there's standardization so there's no 'favouritism' in their issuing.

Don't all elderly over 70 get a full medical card anyway?

That poor woman is one appointment away from been seen by a panel beater with the amount of ops she's had

I can see a day coming when we will be sneaking into halting sites at night and filling up from the free tap

We could get jobs in the Gubberment, giving out tips for good water usage. There's 3 tips already *

* payments in used bills in brown envelopes please

snubbleste

I'm glad to see a man in the position.
There'd be outrage!

Meathlass

I hate this argument - best person for the job, male or female, I don't care.

God no, I couldn't be listening to her voice - we'd all be crashing our cars, like yer man yesterday.

Why don't you do it and you could give us Boardsies a "safe word" so to speak, and we would get through straight away. We'd liven the place up :P

Oh the inhumanity, they have to drive an 07 car FFS, retired guards get on my tits

Meathlass

The show is all over the place today: water charges, disability, Alan Shatter

HeidiHeidi

Joe, no more than the few new recruits will not even come close to replacing Gardai retiring and resigning, those new cars don't come close to replacing the bangers that have been taken off the road due to dying or reaching their (enormous) mileage limit.

FFS!

snubbleste

Were all the ex-garda on a few weeks ago backing Shatter?

An 07 car that's basically been on the road and driven 24 hours a day since it was acquired? With an upper mileage limit of 300,000? Cushy alright :eek:

constitutionus

"no whistleblowers in my time"

300,000 miles is a banger if it's been driven by cops
