Should department agree to change Mark of the beast PPS Number ?

An Nigerian woman based in limerick wants her babies pps number changed on religious grounds because it contains the numbers 666, however Joan Burtons department is refusing to do this.

Allah akbar

Good. They should tell her to cop on.

Also, I hope the child is called Damien.

Cant believe I am saying this but...........I eh...........I agree with Joan Burton!!

Right I'm of to have a domestos shower, I feel dirty after saying that!!!

In hindsight maybe I should have gone unreg for this post..........

Think we already have a thread on this?

What's the problem with changing it? Ask them to pay a fee. Sorted.

DamagedTrax · 05-02-2016 04:57PM

Tell her its fine.

Despite popular belief in modern christianity, 666 isn't actually the number of the beast. 777 is.

I'm surprised they haven't changed it already.
All car registrations were changed because some people might not want to drive a car with the number 13 on it.

They should offer her a new style pps number. He can be 152-LK-666 instead.

fleet_admiral · 05-02-2016 04:59PM

I wonder how many buggies she has left at the bus stop?

Riskymove · 05-02-2016 05:00PM

Don't forget that the State introduced a new Car Reg as superstitious people wouldn't buy a 13 Reg!!

eeguy · 05-02-2016 05:02PM

Yep they should have.

She makes a complaint, someone on the dept. presses a few keys on the computer, issues a new number, boom it's done.

No story, no controversy.

There's plenty of other numbers people have superstitious fears of. Should we remove all chances of 13 or 17?

There's also the fact that the number of the made up beast isn't 666, it was a mistranslation. No one actually knows what the number is so the only way to be sure that you don't get the number of the beast is to have every number 666.

Change it to 667. The neighbour of the beast.

valoren · 05-02-2016 05:05PM

I'd say if they won the Power ball with 6, 66 in the winning numbers, they'd want it changed too!

Shouldn't have to, they do it for one and next thing they'll have to do it for everyone who either doesn't like the number they get or wants their lucky Lotto numbers put in.

Easca Peasca · 05-02-2016 05:10PM

No way. Making an allowance like that would open the door for every other kind of pedantic request.

adamstown1 · 05-02-2016 05:17PM

Coming over here and changing our numbers...

Mr. CooL ICE · 05-02-2016 05:19PM

666 + 666 + 666 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 2016

:eek:

Not enough 6

666 + 666 + 666 + 6 + 6 + 6 x (6 / 6) = 2016

I thought they changed the car numbering scheme after intensive lobbying by SIMI to have 2 "new car" periods in a year to try to increase sales?

Ken. · 05-02-2016 05:25PM

If the child's pps was just the number 666 on its own I'd understand but most peoples are a 7 or 8 digit number so most likely its 12346667. Thats not the number of the beast, that's the number 12,346,667. I can understand people not wanting 13 in their reg plate either at the start or end but if the reg was 00ke751345 and you wanted it changed cause the number 1 and 3 are beside each other then you'd be quite rightly laughed at by me till my throat was red raw.

Should change the number to 25.806975 and see if the mother cops it.

That was the cover story the lizard people sold us.

When I worked in the bank we had a customer who wanted a new account number because hers contained 666. We did it out of sheer amusement.

4068ac1elhodqr · 05-02-2016 05:35PM

Auction it off to someone else, perhaps of Chinese descent where 666 can mean "everything goes smoothly". Or to fans of Kabbalistic Judaism, 666 is the number which represents the creation and perfection of the world.

Tell her also to avoid roulette establishments (it's the sum of all the numbers on a roulette wheel) 0 through 36.
Offer her the binary alternative: 1010011010(2).
Then send her to the medics for hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.

Cookie_Dough · 05-02-2016 05:35PM

It's more ridiculous that Willie O'Dea thought it was something that merited being brought to the Dail for debate/discussion. The country has plenty more pressing problems that could be up for discussion.

Completely ridiculous request IMO. It's the one and only time I will agree with Joan Burton.

Should department agree to change Mark of the beast PPS Number ?
