A woman who went to the doctor
was asked bout the fellow that cocked her
When she said it was rough
the doc he said tough
and the poor girl is now off her rocker

A woman who went to the doctor
With bump, to get rid, but he knocked her
"You'll just have to wait,
While you get fecked by the State
And enjoy it. We'll try not to mock yer."

Jesus. It's an insurance product not an investment.........................

It's not ageist it stupidist

ARSH - FER FEKC'S SAKE, HOW FECKING STUPID ARE THESE PEOPLE?
How many people took out policies of this sort and were paid out when their husband/partner died? That's the way it works.

I'm going to write to BP and Texaco and demand back all the money I spent on petrol, since I always ended up back at home.

Hamilcar

Again Joe it's not a savings product

i was listening to the life cover thing and still cant figure out whether these people were sold life insurance or life assurance. life insurance they get nothing, life assurance they may be due something as its a hybrid mix of insurance and investment.

sounds to me like people didn't read the small print of the policies non story , they didnt check out what they were entitled to.

also the woman that wanted a class action, i dont beleive thats possible under Irish law (could be wrong)

Dan Jaman

If some were deliberately misled into buying a policy that they honestly thought would mature with a substantial lump sum, and it was only a straight life policy - that's grounds for complaint.
Otoh, some sort of with-benefits, endowment, etc policy that followed the market and turns out to have naff-all in the way of anything at the end to pay it off since the market tanked, well that's tough.
However, there are a few out there who see the mis-selling of policies that went on in the UK and the blood-letting that's resulted and are trying to 'poor me' it over here too. Genuinely mis-sold (ie, fraudulent selling) policies should be pursued, but from my own direct experience I know the majority of policy buyers knew exactly what they were getting into and were fully aware of the ups and downs.
In other words, I'm quite sceptical.

Sorry to hear of Albert Reynold's death,( or 'passing' as Joe will put it because he doesn't like using the word death even though he's obsessed with the subject).
No doubt there will be a string of callers relating anecdotes about the time Albert rescued their cat from a tree or the time he gave someone's granny a shilling to buy a loaf of bread for the starving childer!
And Joe will hardly let the occasion pass without getting Albert's, (and Joe's), old show biz friends to throw in their little stories.

Good day for a spot of gardening, methinks!
