It's no longer an actual plan, but some kind of a trend or just your imagined 'endgame' or 'the big picture'. You were playin' 'till you you caught cheatin'. Maybe in future you won't throw out dishonest accusations about me choosing to ignore stuff that doesn't even exist.

" i asked lady was i being charged for the call she said yes but it was lo-call charge I said whats that then 12c/15c for the call to which she was apologetic and said "Im sorry i dont really know how much the call charge is to be honest, i only know its a lo-call number" - so there you are make of that what ye will. Hope she got her bonus she was very polite if not talking 10 to the dozen like most Irish people do half the words i missed because she did talk too fast, but the bonus was at least I got an Irish lady and wasnt diverted to a call centre in outer pakistan with an Indian whereby we could not understand what each other was saying ... so thats a bonus. - Oh and she wished me a very pleasant day , which was nice - I did come of the phone happy I must say.... whether I will be as happy when my water bill of 600euro comes in, in January next, you can ask me again how happy I am with Irish Water and the government!

Sounds like my pack might have been delivered to the landlord of the house rather than to us who are renting his house. - said that because i phoned up and that didnt receive the pack there would be leeway if we didnt get to fill it out until after the closing date, and in fact she said there was such a backlog with some packs having to be sent out again that i might not even receive the pack until after the end of october, but not to worry that I wont loose the government allowance because i had phoned and let them know that i hadnt received the pack yet.

listermint wrote: » How is it deflection when asking if parties are going to sell IW into private hands to look for firm reassurances that this will not happen in the future. You're answer is.. FG have not said they will sell it into private hands, they've never said that. Its not in their party documentation. WELL let me see erm, that is a complete reassurance. You'd be better of deflecting icebergs off the hull of the titanic.

We moved about 3 months ago. 2 letters from IW...one had all the junk inside and my wife's old address on it. The other had the previous address on the front but the correspondence inside had our new address on it...WTF? How the hell did it get addressed to the old address but had the new address on the inside?
Phoebas wrote: » Well - that's an absolute pile of nonsense. I didn't even attempt to provide reassurances about what might happen in the future. IW might be privatised - it might even be privatised by a future FG administration. Who knows? All I said was that there is currently no FG policy to privatise IW whereas there is a SF privatisation policy. Some people get very uncomfortable attempting to confront this simple truth.

Phoebas wrote: » Of course Sinn Fein have something to do with this. SF are the only major party offering a substantially different policy choice. A thread entitled ***ALL THINGS IRISH WATER/WATER CHARGE RELATED POST HERE*** seems to me to be a reasonable place to discuss the different policy options on offer. I understand if some people don't want to engage in that discussion, but I do find it odd when people seem to get pissed off with even the idea of the discussion. I'm good with that.

They haven't even had the competence (or the honour) to even set up the meters in everyones house before fleecing them of their hard earned money. They're going around acting like they've set up Ireland's entire water system from scratch. The whole thing is an absolute joke and I really do hope to see it come crumbling down. Paying for water is one thing. Paying these cunts is an entirely different thing altogether. :mad:
