I await the day that Joe opens the lid on the Catholic Church and all the money and property they were let by gullible fools who believed they were going to heaven by leaving the church their houses, property, farms etc. and all they earned in their lives.

He touched on it with jewellery for some items or other last year but I'd say he's afraid to delve too deep into it.

The grant would just about cover the opening of the grave by the council.

Odyssey 2005 · 28-09-2016 02:08PM

You cover death EVERY day Joe..

€1200?
Cheap funeral?

Atlantic Dawn · 28-09-2016 02:10PM

Ffs, 5 minutes in and the issue is whoy the priest at a funeral gets €150.

Dan Jaman · 28-09-2016 02:10PM

Pharmacists, bookies and undertakers.

pc7 · 28-09-2016 02:11PM

Priest on the same rate as Joe

Dan Jaman · 28-09-2016 02:11PM

"Not paying that; he didn't give me value for money, the blaggard."

i losing the will to live listening to this. Even Joe sounds like he will nod off

Atlantic Dawn · 28-09-2016 02:11PM

It's like when you bring your car in for a service and some chancers automatically replace the wipers whether those you have are brand new or not.

monkey9 · 28-09-2016 02:11PM

Would you get to the point caller or is this just a general ramble?

TheHomeService · 28-09-2016 02:11PM

Money grabbing Palmolives - Joe gets into a lather.

Money grabbing Padre - Joe doesn't give a flying feck.

Dan Jaman · 28-09-2016 02:11PM

"The Palmarian charlatan."

misslemon · 28-09-2016 02:12PM

This is the story they tweeted about that I posted upthread!

"Coming up next on #liveline - 'Church offerings' and other payments that funeral directors make to priests. Are you happy to pay them?"

What in the name of God was the past ten minutes for when it's phrased so succinctly there?

Odyssey 2005 · 28-09-2016 02:12PM

The PalmarIan charleton...Hugh court >>>>>

In Dublin grave alone can be €4k and that's a "cheap" one, then another €500 plus for a few lads to dig the grave from the council, then a €50 or more "fee" for a permit to put up a headstone, tis a shakedown.

somesoldiers · 28-09-2016 02:13PM

They probably said "no" coz they knew they were getting it off the undertaker

Dan Jaman · 28-09-2016 02:13PM

A gesture? You seriously expected them to actually do it for nothing?

monkey9 · 28-09-2016 02:14PM

Jesus, what another pointless call.

Roger_007 · 28-09-2016 02:14PM

Is the cost of dying now greater than the cost of living?

Bodhran · 28-09-2016 02:15PM

The undertaker looks after all the disbursements on behalf of the family. It would be unusual for the family to make those disbursements themselves on the day of the funeral.

Odyssey 2005 · 28-09-2016 02:15PM

Why didn't you just ask the undertaker ya dope..

Dan Jaman · 28-09-2016 02:15PM

You could have saved €450 by bringing in your own JCB.

Odyssey 2005 · 28-09-2016 02:16PM

Back to inga. Great stuff.

pc7 · 28-09-2016 02:16PM

My uncles dug into my grandads grave to put my grannys ashes in (they were in a little box), the graveyard wanted an extortionate amount to do it. So we just did it ourselves, didn't need her on file/record there.

monkey9 · 28-09-2016 02:17PM

What the bleedin' Hell are we back to Inge for???

Dan Jaman · 28-09-2016 02:17PM

Inge sounds like a great crack.

Del.Monte · 28-09-2016 02:17PM

Joe is in his element - truly mind crushing stuff.
