No one is going to bother reducing water until its metered.

Phillip will ask for a shower picture.

I'm pretty confident I'm coming in under the cap as it stands - not that the saving will be worth a damn as it'll be a few euros a quarter max.

I'm having dirty thoughts too...her having a dump!

Oh God, could we not have a pyramid selling scheme or something?

100 bucket fills will be about 1000 litres, that will save the grand sum of just under €5, I suppose it would keep you fit.

Understandable when you are normally paid by the word!

When PBH is on, are the 'researchers' instructed to only allow boring people through?

Dan Jaman

I'll be spending it on coke and hookers.

In England you don't pay for your water on your motor tax, VAT and VRT.

baldbear

But we already pay through vat and our motor tax. Bla bla bla.

Dan Jaman

25 quid a week?

Ken's not quite au fait with this modrin stuff.

Ken has a touch of the auld narcolepsy, methinks!

Ray has mastered the buttons, wohoo.

So I registered with Irish Water, input all the correct details yet they have fûcked it up, they want to charge me for water from my well.

I was very careful when I registered that I was only applying to be a wastewater customer.

Today the bill arrives and they are double charging me, they have my DD info so now unless I take the time to contact them they will simply take my money.

Wonder how much time this will take?

UK Income Tax + National Insurance is pretty much the same as our Income Tax + PRSI + USC

UK then has painful council tax - 3k a year wouldn't be a big house - and water bills (to a private firm) up the wazoo, as well as dearer fuel and some other stuff.

Cheaper shops don't mean a lower cost of living by any means.

What was that girl's point about (her mother's) water bill?

It sounded exactly right to me, according to what the lovely Elizabeth Arnett has been repeating ad nauseum on every news bulletin for the last week.

Was she just complaining about having got a bill in the first place, or was there actually a problem with it?

She redressed the balance somewhat from all those Mammies who ring in on behalf of their poor son/daughter who has been hard done by. I'd say Mammy may be less than impressed when she gets back from her holliers to find that a) her daughter has been opening her post, and b) been on national radio telling the entire country their toilet/bathroom etiquette :eek:

I dont know about anybody else but I've some pain in my face listening to the teachers and their unions over the past week.... The largest economic crisis in the country and not one teacher was let go, not even the worst of them.. and we all know there are very bad teachers.... And still they complain.....

Jan O'Sullivan is the only one who comes out of this whole thing with any credibility, she's a strong person and a good speaker..

The standard or teaching for Irish is terrible for a country where it's supposed to be the official language, there's outdated teaching methods and stories and scripts that would appeal to children aged about 10 back in 1970 being given to 17 year olds doing their leaving certificate. It's a non change organisation just like the nurses who hold the country to ransom and back in the dark ages.

www.mibi.ie/ is all she needs, a fund where the uninsured are covered, no need for a 1 hour problem solving exercise where there is no problem.
