    Yes, I was visiting a clinic at the local regional hospital and upon regging ya wan behind the counter went through my details and landed me with this bomb of 'what mobile network I am'.

    I just went 'wtf' in my head and after an awkward slience said 'err no network'. Then she just wobbled her head and promptly kept typing into her pc.

    Now, what frigging relevance is my mobile network in order to get treatment in a hospital?:mad:

    Thought Ireland was in the 21st century and why would a hospital care about my mobile network?:confused:

    I'm asked for my mobile network almost every time I try to buy top-up credit.

    I wouldn't have been offended by such a question, it's not like she asked you what biscuit you have with your tea...

    But what is the legality of her asking what my network is? Why is it relevant to my treatment? Why can she not respect my lack of a wish to want to use or even possible want to be come further maybe in the future a user or not of a hypothetical mobile support network?!

    I AM BEING OPPRESSED!

    WHAT????

    What "legal right" did she have to ask you something like that? The neck on her. Damn "Catherlicks" with their discrimination.

    If our "mucky" friend from the other thread discovers this thread then most probably.

    Providing he can decipher the title that is. :D

    I am sure that is what she assumed, it was a eircell founded network system in that hospital. You see, they auto-assumed that I had a mobile network. How dare they, and further more, they auto assumed that I am evil and they denied me vital life saving treatment because of my lack of a mobile network and they stole my soul and they let the dingos take my baby and I am so oppressed and nobody understands me and i make no ****ing sense and contradict myself un every second post and the dingos didnt actually steal my baby and the hospital actually stopped them from doing so but because i am wrong i am going to change the topic.

    Why should they had mobile networks in hospitals at all?
    What about all of us who dont have a network? why should their network paramiters be forced on us?!?!?!:mad:

    I read the first page of that other thread, his question was very clearly answered in the fist few posts. What are they still talking about?

    Thats a rhetorical question cause I really don't care.

    Yeah you're right seaneh. The mobiel netwroks are opressing us. Their asuming i know how to use a mobile phone. The neck on them with their mobile ethos. Every year medical trials get stopped because of mobiel networks and their influence on the mobiel board.

    The Mater hospital - Founded by the Mobile Phone (ALL YE CHEAP FECKERS WITHOUT ONE CAN HIT THE ROAD... LITERALLY)

    The worst is parents who force there kids to join the network they are on. How dare they, Its child abuse! Surely children should be allowed to choose there own provider... it's definitely NOT a parents place to decide anyway... unless of course the parent decides no network for the kid... thats definitely OK :D

    seaneh the more i think about it you should reply "i am with *insert cheapest operator*, cause they are the cheapest and i have no money, now with regards to that medical bill you were asking me to pay..."

    They ask so that they can contact your priest, rabbi, swami etc in the event of your imminent demise.

    Only if they are on the same network as you. Otherwise it'll cost too much and you'll die in sin.

    it's those baxtards in the singles ads that say something like GSOH, own house, car etc, must be 086.

    THE OPPRESSION!!

    Maybe it was so they could buy you credit if you were dying? Or they wanted to see how much money you have so you'll be able to pay for your treatment? It's awful the stigma attached to being with Meteor :D

    Copy & Paste much Alison?

    The mobile network does not run the hospital. You knew that.

    Will you be shouting abuse in response to this post?:confused:

    THEY DO!!!!
    They're in league with those evil scheming Catholics. Together they shall deliver diabolical healthcare using only "non-fatal procedures"

    They're concocting benzene and methanol cocktails conveniently called "Health drinks" for all those filthy pagans that darken their doors. The mobile networks just decide on their code of ethics and ethos.

    There are two people who have shares in the network on the board and the rest of the board is mad eup of people who may or may not use that mobile network

    CLEARLY the mobile network runs the hospital and denies peoples basic care based on their network choice.
    Can't you read simple english!??!

    Where is your proof of such ownership? Your posts in defending the Catholic Church were pathetic in the other thread so back up what you say in this thread.

    Jayzus, 2 religious posters start a new thread as they lose a debate on religion. Post away unless the Mods see what you are up to and decide their correct course of action.

    You want the receipts for the methanol and benzene to prove that the Mater own them? Sure thing buddy. Sure I was the one who ordered them, me being a Catholic fanatic and all.

    My posts were pathetic? Nah. The one replying to them though...
