If you got a squillion quid in the morning , what company would you buy , just so that you could close it down - eradicating it from the face of the earth forever ?

Creamy Goodness · 10-05-2004 01:13AM

well the first company that springs to mind is

Eircom.

then i suppose any record company that has manufactured pop on the employee list.

bus77 · 10-05-2004 01:15AM

Id bankrupt the company first tho, to make sure they got no golden handshakes or pensions;)

Does he actually work in Powercity or, is he an actor?

suprised no one's said microsoft yet

1. eircom

But it might take several days for them to actually leave. you know what those eircom people behave. well do it but only in a couple of days when we feel like it

and i would use the rest of the money to buy and shut down any other venture that tony o reily is involved in just so he could not get back on his feet again.

what good will they do you? other than looking cool and having something press when you panic...what good are they?

Eircom - the company that does not give a **** about any of its customers, if they
come across any difficulty you have whether it be a phone line or a internet prob.,
they just fob you off by saying they will phone you back. had a job once doing
research on this company. I would say at least 60% of their customers who dealt
with them were pissed off with them. SHAME ON YOU EIRCOM.

(another candidate)

Dunnes Stores- why is everything in their St Bernard food range taste
so **** ? ( and they are not cheap)

Superman · 10-05-2004 02:18AM

Not, not really.

General Electric. Because bringing down the world's biggest corporation, and all its subsidary investments, will collapse the world economy and bring about a new world order.

halkar · 10-05-2004 09:59AM

Superman - sing it brother!

I used work for poxy statoil, everything he says is true. and the panic beepers are fun, drive by at night and set the alarm off to punish the bastards. When the alarm goes off they have to call one of the managers out of bed to go in and check on the place.

herbie747 · 10-05-2004 10:28AM

NTL.
Hands down.

BKtje · 10-05-2004 11:09AM

A research laboratory that is doing research into finding alternatives to oil.
Id buy it and the sack em all cos they are taking too feckin long. Tho i guess thats more down to lack of funding so i guess id buy it and just give em a **** load of money, hire a load more scientists and errr put the rest on a warning. Gimme a cheap alternative or be sacked

spongebob · 10-05-2004 11:29AM

Eircom for their greed , ineptitude , perennial rudeness and unhelpfulness .

Statoil are not a monopoly , at least I can drive past them no matter how bad they are.

Cura for not advocating the

"Black & Decker Cordless drill and clotheshanger" solution to their callers

Sleepy · 10-05-2004 01:57PM

Eircom so I could sell the guts to a decent telecoms company and get broadband rolled out properly in this country.

Does Dail Eireann count as a company? No? Ok, just Fianna Fail head office then... should set them back enough to lose the next election

Compu Store - no where else are the staff so dense!

Earcom.

After three calls to their tech support yesterday, I eventually hung up and fixed it myself.
