Have to say I'm noticing in South Dublin that the observance of social distancing is really starting to slacken

I went and did my own shopping today, for the first time in 6 weeks. Plenty of distancing in Aldi, and feel I'm more at risk of injuring myself chopping vegetables and bleeding out.

I like to compare them to bookies, because that is exactly what they are except when I go into a bookies with a winning docket they pay me with a smile, another happy customer, bleed them slow etc.
When you go to these cunce with your docket, i.e. something really shitty has happened and you are at your most vulnerable, their business model is to say "let me send that docket to our legal eagles and leave it with them for a couple of weeks to see if there is any possible way they can parse it into something we can squirm out of having to pay out on".

Sanctimonious pricks.

Are the insurers here also health insurers?

I only ask as I know Laya are giving 195e per person back over the next 3 months.

I know all insurers are unscrupulous so unsure why they're giving money back.

I know *why* in the sense that it's because private hospitals are being taken over but more surprised because I haven't seen any government directive.

Most people know this and expect the pain. . Given a choice would we even insure our cars? Worst I've done is kill a badger . Badger was pretty solid . When I think what I've paid against what I've got back . Zero. Great business .

I seriously dont see the outrage here, Every year these people come into the country and do this job... What I am told is that there conditions are shite enough... barely legal which means no Irish person would ever do the job, but compared to where these people are coming from it's a good job

If locals were willing to do it, they would be flying lads in and putting them up.
I've no issue with seasonal workers picking fruit. That's the way it is.

The issue for me is lads just strolling in without any screening or testing in place.

For the last month anyone arriving into australia (inc aussies) had to isolate. And And in that time the crime as really slowed. When from being a much further ahead of ireland to miles behind.

The mothers nursing home had advised us about a week ago that they had 1 confirmed case and were awaiting results on a number of other cases.

In fairness they have communicated really well. We have had face time calls and can send video messages in etc . They have also put detailed updates on their website.

A few days ago they advised us that Mam was running a slight temp that they suspected iwas being caused by a kidney infection but they would test for Covid 19 as a precaution.

Received the news that she had tested positive last night . Got a picture of her later sitting up and smiling .

Since they confirmed the first case I have been half expecting the call to come and we have discussed it here. She is a tough cookie but unfortunately I dont think that is necessarily an advantage at this time.

In a way we have already been through a grieving process for the Mother that just isn't there anymore. On the other hand we have many hilarious and loving moments with the person that she is now. We hope for the best outcome without having yet been able to decide what that is.

In other news Shit about to hit the Fan P&O ferries from Liverpool to Dublin has been stopped by Peel Ports, the management company demanding 600,000 stg from P&O for payment of services, the Norbay was not allowed to leave this morning!!

link here

I can't help but feel that there is more to this story that is being released.

Peel Ports are pretty big in the UK and also own MTL in Dublin along with BG Freight.

Up until the start of this year, BG Freight would have been in competition with P&O for some niche containers services on the Trans-Atlantic route that used Liverpool as a hub for Ireland but P&O pulled out of that market citing issues over Brexit (BG Freight call the same terminal as the deep sea lines in Liverpool port so transhipping is easily done where P&O come out of Gladstone so they had to leave the port to T/S which needed additional customs paperwork)

There would still be some element of competition there as BG Freight offer a domestic service to/from UK/Ireland via container v's P&O's RoRo option but I can't see it as much competition. BG freight are down to one or two sailings per week v's P&O's two or three sailings per day.

Maybe it's a simple case of Peel afraid they won't get paid and being cautious to make sure that amount of money isn't left out there for any length of time or maybe it's a chance to put the boot into a competitor?

I have very mixed feelings on P&O. We used to use them on the Dublin - Liverpool leg a lot in a previous role, I'm going back over 20 years now (showing me age ). The lads in Dublin were mainly beyond useless but one of the lads in particular in Liverpool was an absolute legend, still keep in touch with every so often. Before we started using them, they only did UK/Ireland traffic which generally had no customs requirements and the Dublin lads wanted nothing to do with it whereas the lads in Liverpool say this as a new business opportunity and were pushing it.

They only had customs on site for two hours twice a day, 8am - 10am and 8pm - 10pm. Our vessel left Liverpool every Saturday evening to Canada/USA so most of our freight went out on the 10pm sailing Friday night out of Dublin which meant I spent every Friday night in customs down there getting paperwork stamped. This was back when I would hand type export customs paperwork on a typewriter on essentially carbon paper so you have 5 copies of every document. Then customs would physically stamp the paperwork, they'd go in the ships bag to Liverpool where UK customs would counter stamp them to prove they left the EU. You'd keep page 1 and then get page 4 back a few months later as it trickled through the system.

They had two customs officers working the P&O terminal. One lad was absolutely sound, just a genuinely nice fella but the other lad was a cunt of the highest order. With just two of them, it meant you had to deal with the cunt every second week. I saw him rip up peoples paperwork and throw it back at them because it was wrong (without telling them what was wrong) and refusing to let their cargo go plus he'd berate you if there was the slightest mistake. Often, it was drivers handing in the paperwork who hadn't completed it so they got the brunt of it for others peoples mistakes.

I made one very small mistake (left out a two digit code in one box) once but never again and he got used to me and generally I didn't have any issues with him until one night some poor Italian driver presented his paperwork ahead of me and it was all over the shop. The customs officer was in the height of it and literally flung the paperwork back in his face and told him to sort it or he'd shred it. The Italian lad was none too happy and was starting to kick off a bit so as I was next up and being the cunt he was, told me I had to sort the Italians lads paperwork or neither of our freight was going anywhere despite my paperwork being perfect.

So there I am, not a fucking word of Italian, the driver not a word of English, trying to sort his shit out. I reverted to the ancient Irish language trick of shouting really loud as if somebody doesn't understand you when you're talking in a normal voice, they'll understand you when you shout When that didn't work , I went with adding an A or an O onto every word

'Thisa boxo herea isa missinga numbero - Do youa knowa the numberoa?

It was fucking torture but eventually got it sorted and when we got back to the customs officer, he was grinning ear to ear, thought the whole things was fucking hilarious, cunt!

i've not received that yet. applied for a refund with ryanair beginning of march, still nothing, aer lingus, still nothing, and air france have adopted a different strategy. they automatically give you a voucher, and if the voucher isn't used after a year, they issue a refund.

Irredeemable cunts.

If you pay a lower premium based on a restricted range of risks and take your chances than WTF do you expect? Insurance companies are an easy target but taking short cuts and whinging when you bought a product with a clear restriction about when the product doesn’t pay out is fairly childish in my view.

I’ve been making the point for the past year that people are massively under insuring their homes as building costs have gone up ~25% over the past 3 years and most people are just indexing an out of date rebuild cost with general inflation. Then when they have a fire it’s the insurance companies fault for only making a partial payment never themselves for not reading or making a very basic effort to understand what the fuck they are buying. And certainly never their fault for not paying a higher premium.

As for reinsurance taken out by local insurance companies that’s a total red herring. The reinsurer has similar restrictions you can be sure and the local insurers certainly know it. If they did have it they’d just pay out to the claimants as it wouldn’t cost them anything.

It’s this kind of childish view has insurers getting the fuck out of this market and we’re left with very little choice and competition as a result. Which is the genuine issue to complain about. Shit regulation and fuck all competition in certain sectors. But not paying out on specified restrictions is just not reading your T&Cs in a legal contractual world which is just inexcusable imo.

I seriously dont see the outrage here, Every year these people come into the country and do this job... What I am told is that there conditions are shite enough... barely legal which means no Irish person would ever do the job, but compared to where these people are coming from it's a good job

As a Yellow belly I wouldn't let 95% of the dole Que walk by a strawberry field let alone pick the fruit, it is a really seriously demanding job, I couldn't do it today even if I wanted to!

Tesco's / DHL / Primeline cant get people to drive forklifts for 11euro an hour, you think Irish people are going to break there backs for 10.50 an hour?

Seen on Twitter that the UK government were being pressured into chartering flights to get these workers in as well, Yes all of them pose a risk but is this risk managable I say it would be, the amount of money tied up in a harvest if Keelings or any of these other producers ended up with Covid break out at their facilities, shut down and losing a crop could cost them a fortune! Don't forget these guys are all under serious contracts with Tesco's / Dunnes / etc and if Karen from Facebook gives out that there is no Strawberry's there will be hell to pay

We did this to our selves cause we are all cu*ts, Just not as big of cu*ts as the Insurance sector.... Did anyone get notice about their life policy? heard a few people got notice if they die from covid19, it falls under the act of god clause and they wont pay out... seriously dont know if that is true but heard it can't find anything to confirm it?

Every insurance company we deal with has confirmed no issue with life policies so I’d love to see some evidence of this social media bullshit. There are cases of new cover being refused to folk with Covid 19 or suspected of same for a period of a month or two following getting an all clear. No one is being denied a life assurance payment where they die from Covid 19 on an existing life policy.

Insurance companies are obviously not going to pay out on specifically excluded events and I don’t know too many people in retail who expected a payout, despite a lot of the faux outrage out there now. However it’s a step too far to claim that the 99% of businesses not covered took ‘short cuts’ by not looking for cover for every conceivable type of risk.

Well heard that there was more going on appertly P&O are losing a boat load of money every day 250k, Now P&O is the ferry's, Logistics services and fleet... They have been looking for the governments (both) to make up the shortfall but nothing has happened yet, they have not paid suppliers either, Peel ports credit insurance got pulled on P&O and this is why they demanded payment!!

Every insurance company we deal with has confirmed no issue with life policies so I’d love to see some evidence of this social media bullshit.

2000 BB pot Jesus nice one everyone must have caught a piece
of the flop

My inner Dougal screwed up another ticket for me today

Ted : So I'll just call this one Dougal were out of position and no need to bloat the old pot v the chip leader
Dougal: Ah go on Ted let me have a go you havent let me play since the other night
Ted: You cost us the bloody ticket Dougal
Dougal: What tickets that Ted?
Ted: (angry) The ticket Dougal the €1000 ticket that we played 6 hours for and were 5 mins away from; that bloody ticket
Dougal: I thought we were just having a laugh. Go on Ted give us a go I promise I'll just call.
Ted: Well ok but just call mind.

30 seconds later
Ted: (head in hands) For Gods sake Dougal why?why?
Dougal: I couldn't help myself Ted you know me and buttons .
Ted: sobbing
Dougal: I know what'll cheer you up Ted a nice game of buckaroo!
Ted: go on so
