Where's the Bobo ?

[dalymount]

Your probably right,but dont you think its at least questionable how some of these people are passing a knowledge test considering some of them cannot even speak English ? My own belief ,(and im quite serious) is that though the authorities are well aware of this,they wont challenge it for fear of incurring the wrath of the immigrant council of Ireland

[Rat Catcher]

Does Free Now train them in different languages or are all the courses conducted in ENGLISH?

[stonethecrows]

We hear so many stories of how they get their licences , suppose we could all start up a crazy rumour and before you realise it, it gather's legs.

Surely someone out there knows the truth , how are "they" keeping it a secret as to how the immigrants are getting through the PSV tests ?

[Belker]

We are all only small fish in a very big pond, we should learn to swim close to the shore.

'Free Now' is huge currently in over 100 cities across the world, their base is in Hamburg in Germany and the CEO Eckart Diepenhorst (I'm betting that with a handle like that he has his Mickey pierced !) is the fella calling all the shots or at least the top management board make all the decisions. The likes of Alan Fox, Ireland CEO and all CEO's in other cities are just mere workers the same as ourselves, they have about as much say-so about our working terms and conditions as the check-out girl in Centra has about how the supermarket is run.
All the CEO's report to their Boss Eckart and the Boss hearing all sides makes the informed decision about how best to treat us in order to maximize profits. It's a game and ya gotta know the rules of the game and abide by them and Play them well and always remember you are the smallest fish in this pond, but small fish can live well and healthy if they swim close to the shore.

Same way the mongs who hail from Ireland do who can't read or write.....the human eye needs only to be able to recognise A,B,C, or D. Simple learning precludes the need for knowledge.

The pass rate for the new Kathleen Doyle test is under 30%. When I done the "test" it was under the control of An Garda Siochana and had a pass rate of 99.999999999999999934% so I can't really complain about post-dereg new entrant scum. If we all had to pass the KD test periodically I might have something to whinge about I guess.

Because gobshites cant see past the next fiver and can only function when someone tells them what to do and what to wear.

[dalymount]

And in the case of radio dispatchers,actually  DISCIPLINE them for giving discounted work back.do ya think its because they were so used to being told what to do in the paye sector that they just cannot get used to running their own business,and taking responsibility ??

Personally i think they have mammy issues, probably afraid they will get sent to the naughty step or get  spanked

So if your not a Worker DM, then what exactly are you ?
I doubt your a kingpin and doubt even further that you are a scrounger, so what are you ?
