I think it is actually illegal to knowingly not fill out a census form, and I believe they will make some prosecutions for it, although obviously not everyone, but a sample amount as examples, or so I heard somewhere.

Not to sound stupid, I have never filled one out. But there is no form here? Will they not leave one unless they speak to you?

Some lovely chap has finally had enough of wasting plastic on disposable cutlery and came up with edible cutlery. Put up on kickstarter lately asking for $20,000 so that he could produce enough volume to match the plastic cutlery and he has $170k with 12 days to go. Claaaaass.

Census question. There was an enumerator going round our estate yesterday. Came to my door twice and I ignored it twice. Four randomers living in the house and I can't really be arsed dealing with a census with them. If we just ignore it I presume we will be grand because if we don't meet her we can't get the form? Or will one be sent out anyway? Also is there any consequences of not filling it out?

They'll just post the form into you if they can't make contact with you, and they won't stop trying to collect the form either. You can be prosecuted for not filling it out but that's quite rare. They simply keep at you until you fill it out.

They'll keep calling, I'm not sure what would happen if you keep ignoring, but why would anyone do that?

The card just said to contact them. We were at the IO not ignoring them. Bins went this morning so can't retrieve card.

Fairly sure the enumerators are paid per census booklet, so it'll probably depend on how motivated they are

Yeah meant to post that too.

[eamonhonda]

No I didn't mean you were ignoring them. I just meant they'll call again and again so you'd have to be ignoring them to never meet them.

There would have been another day on the card that they'll call back. Also a number you can call or text to arrange a time that suits you if you'd prefer

[eamonhonda]

Yeah that's true seemingly. You just know the type of cunt they're gonna be. Leave the form and head off m8

[Teddie]

They'll call a few times again and if they still don't catch you they'll just put it through your letter box.

[6starpool]

They should be calling around very regularly to try and give it to you in person. If you want to contact them they can call around to give it to you when it suits, and will be around for weeks to try and collect them all. It takes about 2 months of effort for them in all. I got mine on Sunday afternoon.

[Lplate]

Had a drink with his father good friday perfectly sane articuate intelligent man.
The son

Played cards with my mother few weeks ago 25 in the sticks got chatting to a traveller man and asked who i was etc.
Told him who and he told me my father and another garda from the gaelteacht who ran the boxing club were always fair and respectful to travelling folk.
When people say blame the parents its definitely not true.

yup. Mount Saint Annes in Milltown.

This has its origins here in Calgary -

Local News were filming on 17ave when the cities hockey team, the Calgary Flames, made a deep playoff run one year. Street was packed full of people (its the main avenue for nightlife and leads to the stadium) and they were doing a segment on "the Red Mile" as they call it when some yokel shouts it at the camera.

He is almost certainly getting a clatter on the ear though.

Guess it has been noted, but it's actually genuinely important to fill out. Please by the way, most important of all, say you have no religion if that's the case, rather than the default Catholic-through-parents. If enough people do this it'll end the nonsense of state-funded schools discrimating based on religion.

Actually please everyone do this. Tick no religion if that's the case for you. Just because three month old you was ordained Catholic doesn't mean you should tick that box and continue discrimination and rather hateful thoughts towards women's health rights.

...Loved this post so much...My mother did this 10 and 5 Years ago with the Catholic family thing. first time I bitched about it because she I told her she was lying about it and she went on a high horse...last time I told her not to stick me as Catholic, she did it anyway so I stuck it in the shredder... I reckon this time I'll fill it in myself...
...I think it's disgusting how families almost force religion onto their children in life...no matter what age, they still seem to think that their children should be whatever religion they are... literally has caused more deaths than anything else in history (imo anyway)...honestly believe a world in which religion never existed, would be a much more pleasant world to live in...

[Mellor]

literally has caused more deaths than anything else in history (imo anyway).

I'd be surprised if that's true tbh. The two world wars probably caused 100m deaths. And there 3 or 4 wars of a similar scale in china that caused maybe twice as much again.
Even a lot of the wars that people might consider to be about religion, aren't actually about religion.

Not suggesting that religion doesn't cause a far wack of damage by the way. But it's nowhere near the greed and ambition of man in terms of death

So Frank Flannery has got caught via the Panama Papers. Good.

Story in the IT today that both FF (stuffed to the gills with crooks historically) and Mick Wallace (crook) are attacking him. Irony levels rising to dangerous levels.

i'm really enjoying the daily revelations tbh. brilliant stuff and a gift that will keep giving for a long time.

Also love the idea that so many fat cats around the world are just sweating buckets waiting for their turn to be called up and explain the few or many millions they've sequestered away on a pretty little island.

Considering this is "only" the fourth biggest off shore legal company, imagine what the top 3 would reveal, and how they must be ramping up security at this time!

Did you not recently baptize your daughter so she could get into a "good school"? I would have thought not going to church or slipping the padre brown envelopes might be a better way of killing them off.

Continue discrimination and rather hateful thoughts towards women's health rights VS Good school. Hummm ....

How did seemingly no-one except George Lucas call out the new Star Wars for the derivative nonsense it is? It's actively stupid.

don't get it either. it's just sooo bad, and a ridiculously poor rehash of the first one.

I genuinely felt cheated as i'd not been to the cinema in years, and having read the rave reviews, i made the time to go and see it. What a pile of utter shit.

Super ending but Carolina asked for it, basically letting him have a free throw at the end. Full court press surely was the play?

It had a million flaws but there was soooo much goodness I instantly forgave all of its sins. That last scene on Skellig Michael literally took my breath away.

Seemed bizarre not to have someone pressuring the ball on the inbound alright. I guess they just wanted to take away the running 2 and gambled on letting him have a 3. They made a hames of the defensive switch which gave him a shot without a hand in his face too.

I have been a huge Star Wars fan since the first film when it came out. Was the first time I had ever been in a cinema. I grew up in an area where there were no girls beside me and I played with the toys and made rebel bases and such like and could have answered questions on an part of the films down to who played certain ewoks!

When the prequel trilogy came out I was terribly disappointed, found the acting wooden and the story line crap. I was really excited about watching the Force Awakens as it had some of the original cast etc.

Last night we watched it, was stunned at how bad Harrison Ford was acting as he was always such a good actor, I know he is a good age, but still...

Carrie Fisher, her top lip must be botoxed to the hilt! it didn't move.

I did like parts of it but in the whole It wasn't that great. I feel they were reminiscing on the original with a few references etc.
Can't believe the fate of some characters.

Anyway tl,dr

Star Wars disappoints

I have no kids and can see that this is painfully obv. Sacrificing your kids future so that you can make a moral stand must be one of the most selfish things you can do in the short term.

In the long term your useless kids wont be able to help you out when you are senile and stubbornly clinging to life at 110.

They have the info for over a year according to what I read. Therefore they have loads more to come plus they have probably already gotten the scoop on other firms at this stage.

The drip fed stuff at the minute is only the appetiser I reckon to get ready to unload the big stuff. The individual stuff will be nothing compared to the corporate shenanigans.

Actually there is probably something to be gleaned from watching a few banks share prices over the next week or two.

Well given their money laundering history we were all expecting that! It's when one of the squeaky "we're a clean good bank" gets caught followed by some family owned mega private companies that it will become really interesting.

Tip of the iceberg stuff so far. A few politicos and stuff already out there from other sources. But now the credibility of the whole thing and the moral outrage police are ready to go we'll get the really juicy stuff.

The brief flirtation with the Protestant faith was rather positive btw. Having tea in the rector's house while he counselled that his son was also married to an Eastern European lady and they were indeed quite the handful.

Might be the most Protestant thing I've ever read
