    'Baby finger' sounds like something a child loses, puts under their pillow for the finger fairy, and then grows a new adult finger.

    I thought at first she meant a child had been hurt

    I was confused for the first few paragraphs especially because they went on to mention she had her nephew with her.

    Her solicitor needs a good smack in the face for pursuing this.

    In truth its come one, come all. We don't care if you are blatantly guilty. We only care about being paid.
    Now, if thats the way it goes then thats life. What I hate is the fake "moralistic" lies that cover it.

    There was a case today of a staged car crash. Car hire company had the video of their movements.
    Judge threw it out and referred it to AGS. Also ruled against them on costs.

    She hit the Jar, she was on the sauce. Bad things always follow.

    Lots of people who have genuine reason to sue choose not to because they don't want to make a fuss over something small.

    We had a glazier working for us once and he came into work one day with a stitch on his forehead. I asked him what happened and he said 'I slipped on ice yesterday coming down off a ladder and bumped my head'. I said 'jaysus, you should probably report it and at least get your medical expenses back off the company' and he said 'Why? It was my fault, I should have been more careful' which I thought it was as good an answer as any. A lot of the Polish are like that IME, they would take it as a matter of pride and professionalism.

    Glad it didn't get pasta the Judge.

    Ah I know they're scum, I would just like to think they have some professional pride. I remember being in court (working) one day during the High Court Sessions and a local solicitor had a case thrown out because it was basically a load of BS and the whole place was whispering and sniggering. That went on for months, until the next Sessions.
    You'd think they'd be embarrassed to put forward a load of nonsense like this case!

    I slipped on a wet floor in Dunnes once and hurt my arm. I got up as fast as I could mortified in case anyone had seen me. Maybe I could have ended up loaded. Guess I'll never know.

    Don't give up so easily!

    1. Go back to Dunnes with your child or kidnap any random child if you don't have one handy.
      1. Bonus: You can now claim against the dole as a caretaker for the child. More monies!
    2. Get the child to knock some jar holding a liquid onto the floor.
    3. Walk over the now wet floor.
    4. Slip.
    5. ????
    6. Retire to Spain.


    You're welcome.

    This is why I think dash cams should almost be a mandatory thing now.

    This wasn't a genuine case. It was staged to defraud the car hire company and the insurers.
    Judge was right in referring it to the Gardai


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,797 ✭✭✭tretorn


    Name is McDonagh and case was in Ennis, enough said.

    Dunnes wont bother going after her, they wont get a cent, neither the Gardai nor the Courts will help them

    I hope she wasn't out of work too long with that terrible injury.
    Poor thing.

    She said: "I looked at my hand and I saw the blood and I was in shock."

    Asked if she had done anything when the jar hit the floor, Ms McDonagh replied: "No, I just left it there."

    She said: "I was in shock. There was a load of blood."


    All this over a cut finger.
    How does she deal with her menstrual cycle so?

    You wouldnt have menstrual cycles if you have a baby every year.
