    The highest points also = the most you cash you fed into the Poker machine you absolute tool

    Passport renewal done online only recent

    Took photos of myself Fri night

    Submitted Saturday

    Had book on Tues/Weds. Card come Friday.

    Wasn't even needed immediately, just needed to renew an expiring one.



    I know that was renewal as opposed to application, but clearly if you do it right, you should have minimal issues.

    Joe reading the thread again, never would have asked how much she spent otherwise. Far too close to personal responsibility.

    Poker. A great way to save.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,008 ✭✭✭✭BPKS


    Of course they never travelled out of Ireland when you've been wasting hundreds a week on poker machines



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,829 ✭✭✭✭Dan Jaman


    They're dirt cheap now.

    We could pool our resources and get a Boardsie cruise ship.

    I would imagine that situation makes applying for a passport for a child much more difficult



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,485 ✭✭✭Expunge


    Would she not get one of the TDs to chase it up?


    That's all they **** do these days.

    Symphony Of The Seas leaving Barcelona at 6pm on Sunday, there's a ship to set your watch to.

    Starting to sound like someone with a real gambling problem here. The thought process of thinking the more you spend on poker, the more points you 'earn' is genuinely dangerous. Like Tesco Clubcard points but twisted.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,069 ✭✭✭✭LambshankRedemption


    Surprise, surprise, there seems to be something missing in this story.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,084 ✭✭✭MoyVilla9


    No wonder casinos, etc. make so much money when you have people like this who genuinely believe it's a good idea to build "points".

    Travel inshurdance won't cover not applying for a passport in time.



  • Posts: 1,890 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Imagine shelling out for a nice cruise and this wan is in the cabin next door



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,434 ✭✭✭DoctorEdgeWild


    Ah here Joe.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,008 ✭✭✭✭BPKS


    Willie O Dea has already got her 3 houses in Limerick and another one in Waterford when they got ran out of town



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,069 ✭✭✭✭LambshankRedemption


    It's the first ever passport which takes a bit longer.

    But she won it in October. That is enough time to get a passport ordered a few times over.

    Haven't been able to suffer Joe in a while, but those two callers really drive home the complete lack of financial literacy some people have.

    Croatian lady sending cash via crypto in Revolut and granny with 'nothing but bills' in the post pumping cash into casinos.

    It's astonishing, and worse, it's others peoples fault (bank shouldn't have given loan so easily?)

    She will buy the entire stock of lottery tickets off the Ryanair plane on the way over.



  • Posts: 1,890 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    No mention of the grandchilds mammy at all



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,975 ✭✭✭Terrontress


    What's the bets that the grandson is being taken out of school for 2.5 weeks to sit in a ship's cabin and play a Nintendo switch for the whole time.

    Get travel inshurdance too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,008 ✭✭✭✭BPKS


    Half of those hours she will be sleeping. Or playing the Poker machines.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,423 ✭✭✭Deeec


    Joe should ask if she is a legal gaurdian - this could be her issue. Where is the mammy?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,223 ✭✭✭✭McDermotX


    Aye. It's no doubt more prolonged but assuming everything is in order I would imagine they are just as efficient.

    Dis wan probably gambled away de childers birth cert on a fruit machine.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,423 ✭✭✭Deeec


    Ah just leave him at home Helen

    I bet that the smoking ban doesn't apply in international waters. She can probably sit at the machine and not have to go onto the deck to smoke.

    She can up her daily outgoings from €100 to €200 without having to step away.
