Goldenpages, paper fail ?

Sizzler

Arrived home today to see the Goldenpages & The Independent Directory dumped outside my gaff, I ain't no eco warrior by any means but seriously who uses the bloody things these days I dumped both into my recycling bin so I feel like I did my bit but seriously, why bother printing these in this day & age? Seems like such a waste

So, do boardsies use the good aul goldenpages or do you think its all a bit pointless?

I use the Golden Pages still sometimes. Never use the phone book anymore, except to stalk a few people..

I used the Golden Pages once when I ran out of toilet paper. True story.

Phone books are such a damn waste. A big stack in the lobby of my girlfriend's apartment complex has been there untouched for weeks.

I had this conversation at work, I was wondering why we're still paying for a golden pages ad, but apparently people do still use it. Even the website is just one of many other directory sites out there. It's a directory brand at this stage.

up for anything

I would have been lost without it for the last few years when I was exiled in dial-up land. My mother would still use it and lots of people like her who haven't got the inclination to tool-up to computers.

you think getting one free is bad?, they were delivered to our area the other day, and yes we live on a main street fair enough, but some poor desperate soul actually STOLE our golden pages from the door step! :eek:


saved me from throwing it in the recycle bin:pac: but stlll...:eek:

I stole it because I love to rip them in half shirtless.

At least Goldenpages are doing their bit to keep the book format alive by keeping their website bloody shíte.

Why dont we all just collect them and have a massive bombfire at hallowe'en

Stained Class

So...In these hard times I see plenty of people complaining about getting a free service delivered to their front door by somebody in this country being paid for it .....

Where's the problem?

Doc

I use it to stand on it to kiss girls that are taller then me.

Sure no one could rip them in half if they were wrapped in a shirt.

Why is it when something goes wrong or is a bad idea, posters say it is a fail.

Look at the OP, paper fail. Is that even a sentence?

If we didn't deliver free directories I'd be reading threads on moaning. Not everywhere in Ireland has broadband.
We don't all live in town which seems to equal Dublin. When did town become one city

If they deliver them it's not a waste, it's a Fail as is the latest lingo.

Argument FAIL

Tried reading it once but sadly never finished it. I heard it was the business.
