    Why do they differentiate? Its more likely you would borrow a family members car that a neighbours - Is it direct family only or does it extend to cousins, inlaws etc?

    It's nowhere near as bad as the charity bag packers. Good to see Nula tackling the real issues.

    Insurance companies make no sense most of the time to me, I wanted to put my cousin on my insurance for a week last year (she was visiting Ireland), it was 30 euro if I wanted to insure her for the week, if I added her to my policy for the rest of the year it was free.

    I cant stand this "I wouldnt feel pressure but other people might"

    Its a sort of outrage by proxy. It f**king grinds my gears.

    This is quite common practice in the US and other countries. This auld wan from Galway should just f off and find something actually worth complaining about, rather than waste MY precious time (lol).

    Desperate show altogether. Hopping from one subject to another, nothing getting resolved, no closure being brought to anyone.

    Have never minded giving to the local charities and clubs - they do great work and are under funded, can`t abide the professional collectors that set up table outside the post office or local supermarket.

    They do good work, but I prefer to pack my own bags (and I'll usually chuck some shrapnel in the bucket anyway).

    My local supermarket (family-run, not a chain store) always keeps one checkout lane bucket free, which reduces any pressure on someone who mightn't want to / be able to contribute.

    TBH somebody had mentioned in passing to me that I should check my policy about driving my dads car and I nearly got sick when my insurance company said I wasn't insured if I wanted to be insured I'd have to either get my dad to put me on his policy or to get insured as an open driver!!! They did specify that I could not drive siblings / parents / nephew / nieces vehicles. It's worth checking.

    The RTE lawyers are obviously on their Easter holidays early if the Omen is on today, expect all things inoffensive to be discussed for the next week with the odd bit of agriculture thrown in for good measure!

    Well between the Prime time investigates thing raising its head again, RTE salaries, as well as the list of things Joe has been told not to discuss, I'd say its more a case of the Lawyers not wanting to spend Easter in their chambers preparing for a suit.

    When I was a Sys Admin, we had a rule of never making a change on a friday, and never the day before a holiday, because if it went wrong, we could lose the weekend, or the holiday fixing it.

    I'd say this is the legal equivalent in Montrose.

    lol.. When I was a sys admin :pac:, I always made changes on a Friday evening in case anything went wrong, so that I would have the weekend to fix it without affecting the productivity of other employees....

    Guess I was just more dedicated Syk :D

    Wasn't my rule, it was the companies. Might also have been to do with rackspace charging more for support on weekends, not sure.

    I remember seeing Amy Winehouse's name in the deaths section of wiki, a few years before it actually happened.

    EDIT: thought it was an awful rumour at first, RIP Barney.

    i was over in lithuania last summer when she did die and could only get bbc world on the tv. they were showing a live at the apollo on the evening she died and patrick kielty was on it and his opening line was a joke about ay winehouse dying and drugs. the show was a repeat from 2 years before

    Ah Jaysus,

    What happened to the good old days (the rare auld times?) when you could laugh your h0le off for an hour and 15 mins at Joe and his idiotic callers?

    Another RIP eulogy with a host of "stars" brought out from the RTE and Irish Cabaret circuit to pay their respects......in other words a yawn fest. Think I'll call in and ask for an update of how the model twins from the other day are getting on.......

    D'omen won't be able to mix it with these guys, before he knows it half the Unfunny Fiday crew will have gotten through to extend their sympathy and relate a salt'o de earth tale from Da Brazenhead or Donoghues.

    Wonder how many callers today will call D'omen "Joe" ? :D
