Does anyone remember the row Noel had with the Pogues on the BPFO years ago?

Playing stuff like that, it's a wonder he didn't get attacked more often!

Well, the royalty cheque from RTE is winging its way to Noel right now.

Atlantic Dawn · 10-07-2015 02:40PM

I'm going to Lloyds for the free blood pressure check after the show, it's certainly risen in the last hour.

He accused them of coming over here bastardising Irish music. They made bits of him. There's an mp3 of it out there somewhere. I'll have a look for it on the pogues website.

Good man.

Nothing new about the Church trying to gouge money out of the faithful. They used to do it by reading out in public what everyone contributed in 'dues'. Just good old fashioned blackmail.

somesoldiers · 10-07-2015 02:43PM

The Muricans do that all the time, it is a science- watch West Wing Joe

Dan Jaman · 10-07-2015 02:43PM

Kind of backfired, though; ask for more than they expect and they tell you to feck off.

The old don't need the money as they won't be around much longer.

We have them here. They specialise in cutting trees, cleaning driveways and doing roof repairs. They make a fortune.

You'd have to wonder what the guy who bate them out of the temple would think of this mercenary gang.

But, it was the woman's son who was complaining. He was afraid of his inheritance disappearing!

If they have a car worth more than most houses they generally are doing ok.

A quote direct from the School of Joe Duffy Spelling and Pronunciation.

Joe 'this won't go away' because you keep ringing people about it

so if I prayerfully donate money to the church, they claim the tax back and not me....is that true?

Atlantic Dawn · 10-07-2015 02:54PM

Sounds like Bishop Brennan.

Copied and pasted:

PAYE Taxpayers
For PAYE taxpayers the relief was allowed on a “grossed up” basis and was granted to the charity rather than to the individual making the donation. For example, if an individual who paid tax at the higher rate (41%) gave a donation of €250 to an approved charity the charity was entitled to essentially claim back from Revenue the tax which had been applied to this income before it was received by the individual i.e. the individual needed to earn €424 gross in order to have net income of €250 (ignoring PRSI and USC) to make such a contribution. Tax at 41% was applied to the €424 (€174) via the payroll and the charity was therefore entitled to claim this amount back from Revenue.

bottlebrush · 10-07-2015 02:55PM

This is being done to death now.

People get a letter 'prayerfully' inviting them to make a donation of a certain amount.
They have the choice not to. Tear up letter - put in bin.
If they don't pay it's not like the LPT or the water charges, Revenue aren't going to come after them.
Move on Joe.

Fujitsu10 · 10-07-2015 02:57PM

This is more up to date:

3. Tax position –Ireland- from 1 Jan 2013
With effect from 1 January 2013, the above has changed and in fact the scheme for relief for charitable donations has been simplified considerably. There will no longer be any distinction between PAYE taxpayers and Self Assessed taxpayers and the relief in respect of charitable donations will in all cases be refunded to the charity.
Relief will now be granted at the new blended rate of 31% rather than 20% or 41% as above. An annual limit of €1 million per individual that can be donated under the scheme is also being introduced.
Charities will be required to obtain certificates from their donors confirming their PPS numbers, the eligibility of the donation and the fact that the tax they will pay for the year will be at least equal to the relief due to the charity. As part of the simplification process, provision is being made for an enduring certificate which will last for up to five years and can be completed by a donor in lieu of an annual certificate.

Hello, my friend;
Have you thought about prayerfully donating a small gift to me the Church of National Importance of Nigeria?

ifeelstupid · 10-07-2015 02:58PM

I'd love to, but the parish got to me first and I am getting my trees cut next week.
