SMS services gone mad..

In todays Sunday Tribune there is a feature on a service a the motor tax office in Nutgrove in Dublin. You can text your ticket number to an SMS code and you'll get a text 15 minutes before your number is called. It's called - Q watch. Cost €2 with (presumably) the council getting a cut of the revenue. The reporter comments that "...the state benefits from the fact that the state operates an inneficient service in the first place."

FFS, everything is turning into a text revenue opportunity in this country. What's next? Instead of passing the basket in the church, the priest announces "In the name of the father, the son and holy o2,vodafone or meteor, text PRAISETHELORD to 57788 for a €2 donation. JESUSLOVESME for a €5 donation and a free Faith of our Fathers ringtone"
