The government has been building up to one for months with this household charge.

Eh, are you in the North??? Otherwise that doesnt make sense.

DID you follow the traditional timing of putting your clocks back last week? :eek:
Cos if you did that, and you in the Republic, you may have found you were a bit early everywhere you went last week! Due to public demand to leave the clocks on winter time Minister Phil Hogan has relented on the 'spring forward' rule until the end of Easter, as incentive and reward for 50% paying the household tax.

You didnt get that memo? Nuts! It was widely printed in all the editions of the Evening Herald this week...

APRIL FOOLS :rolleyes: .... nearly

Jaysus, here we go again. Hogan's Law has been invoked already.

Error!
We're sorry, due to underwhelming demand, there has been an error in our payment processing system, please try again later.

[note from Paddy: insert proper error handling here - Dav to supply text for this, he's probably too busy looking at the yacht catalogue with Tom to bother]

Oh bugger Ive been had

Don't feel too bad. For 20 minutes I was prevented from doing pretty much anything i.e. posting or pm while posts were flying about the place. So many good ideas and a retarded one won outright.

01-04-2012 12:23AM

Gah, have to disable JavaScript to post!

No images? Well that's YLYL screwed for the day.

Cicero · 01-04-2012 12:25AM

So....is Tom looking at a yacht catalogue or not?????

I changed my birthday to April 1st on Facebook earlier and 47 people have already wished me a Happy Birthday -I wonder how much they'll hate me when I remind them all tomorrow that my birthday is in November!

I changed my boyfriends birthday on Facebook the other week. He can't change it back. Facebook only let you change it once. So now when its really his birthday in a few weeks, he won't get any birthday messages. Oops.

Jaysus - the Gold account thing is a bit lame, was expecting a bit more from Boards...

Isn't that just sad though that they wouldn't remember your birthday only for facebook

Hail 2 Da Chimp · 01-04-2012 12:58AM

Firefox!

Just force quit all my tabs, when I opened it up again, it forced me to update the software before I could surf the net... That's obviously an April Fools joke - no Software company would willingly do that...

oppenheimer1 · 01-04-2012 01:04AM

I don't really understand why B.ie Admins would make a "joke" which makes it difficult for users to post to the site. The site does depend on new posts in order to attract traffic.

Yes its only one day... but still I would think its best not to alienate the people you depend on, no matter what day of the year it is.

Well I have 500 'friends' on there, including various people from college, family friends etc whom I wouldn't really expect to know my birthday but let's just say if certain people fall for it, there'll be trouble!

My friend did that last year, really showed up some people he taught were his friends

Related note, Facebook makes you wait a few days before you can change your DOB back to normal, about a week or so.
