He had only passed out in the last recruitment round so I'd say it was €396.97/week.

After tax? Sure it goes up after 22 weeks. Lucky gravy train fascist bastards. My net is €50 less a week and I have to wait a lot longer for a increment, also, ACAB.

Joe has the 90-year-old lady that got dragged to court over her satellite dish, right now

She was back in court today and got the costs dismissed, the defence being "she's old and didn't understand". So much for ignorance of the law not being a defence.

Laws aren't made for the over 85's

unless they were Nazis, then we will enjoy the hunt.

Pensioners are the real untouchables, don't let all that frail needy carry on fool you, they'll throw you under the bus if needs be.

There's a good Patton Oswalt bit about how when you get to a certain age one crime should be made legal for you every birthday.

It's the poor fucker that narc'ed her out that I'm worried for

 

[Unicron]

Callback to earlier, I hear the media are front and centre rubbernecking the funeral of those poor people who died in the fire this afternoon.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Well, I'd expect the funerals to get coverage.

It's a national tragedy, no?

Depends on the coverage. If they've put cameras in the church or broadcast people weeping while delivering a eulogy then it's pretty grotesque.

"It's a funeral, people are sad, back to you Dobbo," seems about the right level of coverage to me.

Do they ever do that?

My reading of this is that the media are showing up cos they have to.

I dunno, I just think that it's imposing on people's grief.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

Don't they usually play some of the eulogy on the news for these public interest funerals? I haven't seen/heard any reporting on anything this week due to lack of time so don't know if it's more coverage compared to usual.

I think we can all agree, without fear of hypebole, that she is the greatest living Irish hero of the 21st century.

The President is in Berkeley planting a tree for the victims of that tragedy. I get that these things are planned in advance but still, it doesn't look great.

Since the foundation of the state I reckon. Collins and Dev? In the ha'penny place.

I wonder if any of the poor people who died in the Carrickmines tragedy had played on a GAA team.

I think they make an exception for famous people.
Maybe Gerry Ryan had one broadcast. The priests don't like anyone but them doing one.

Miriam Lord has a story on the funerals that I will read with my coffee.

There was definitely some recent tragedy (possibly that girl who was murdered in Scotland) where they played the priest's eulogy on the news.
