    Caller: I think you know him.
    Joe:Gorjus boyy!


    When he was a kid Joe didn't collect Panini Soccer Star stickers, he took pictures of firemen instead. And headstones.

    We could go back to the days of the Foybre Gade turning up and only putting the water on to your house if you had the Sun Alliance badge on your premises.

    They do careful screening of callers to make sure your position matches the agenda of the day, but they never check if callers have the radio on, or on speaker phone or are ringing from Mars.
    Or if they've fed the dog first.

    Occasionally de foyremen had reason to call into de library from de station next door, and we "girls", some of us a bit overgrown for such behaviour, used to say things like "ooooh, love a man in uniform."' Used to get glares. Bit like de wolf whistles we would have got from council wurkers when young wans.

    Has anyone been on complaining about an post and how slow they are recently?

    My mum sent me a Christmas card with a lovely little letter etc from Lanzagrotttte
    Sent 06/12/20...arrived today lol.

    Could be worse...she sent money in the post (I know I know I know!) didn't make it to my nephews and niece in NI.

    So in summary an post are slow...but they aren't thief's like royal mail so it could be worse

    That reminds me of a Julian Clarey monologue which I can't repeat here.

    It included references to Father Christmas, sliding, chimneys, and sacks being emptied all over the floor.

    Not as bad as when wan of de pewer foyremen, before he became a foyreman, came to work two months in de library service. Gawd hope he's not on Boards. I got an "initiation" from himself and the other guys when joining de table to service de books, was like what I believe to have been a boarding school scenario almost to de point of sight biscuit but not quite. Anyway I turned de table so to speak. There was a little aul wan in charge who used to be coming up to table to ask what was going on and to tell us all to behave.

    It's a shame that Norman Lamont line seemed to really derail his career.

    An Post have a very big problem with parcels going "missing" at Christmas caller. I had a very honest conversation with my local postmaster who explained WHOY it happens so to speak....de contractors at Christmas and dat. I'm sure a few of de full-timers are at it too but I've had quite a few items go "missing" in recent years never to be found. By coincidence :rolleyes: a large number of them were from amazon.co.uk so to speak as they say.

    From the little bit I heard today, it was pretty clear joe has it in for O'Leary (again) because he dared to diss RTE the other day.
    He really is a petty little bully when he wants to be.
