Did anyone get paid the 350 ?

I've always been helpful ken. I think I even remember helping you out on more than one occasion.

You did indeed on a few gardening issues and it was much appreciated.

Just fer once it's good to see everyone not squabbling on here but instead coming together to offer advice and support to each other.

[Belker]

Well I cant complain about being helped ether albeit in different circumstances.when I was in hospital,a member of this forum PMD me a few times.on one occasion he offered me the loan of a lap top while I was in there,and on occasion he offered to come over to my house when I got out to take me out for drives and a bit of fresh air.I was a very thoughtful gesture,and very much appreciated.the fact that this member PMD me rather then put it up here may indicate he did not want to be acknowledged,but I think its entirely appropriate that I take this opportunity to thank him properly now that we are talking about help from other forum members.that member was John M

No surprise there, the man is kinda out on his own when it comes to offering help and has done the same fer me on a few occasions.
I did get the pleasure of his company once at a Cork piss-up, the man is a walking pantomine, belly the size of the Galtee montaims and a heart of Gold the size of Everest.

Cant argue with that

Oh yea, forgot about that. The sun flowers wasn't it. Around the same time when someone was telling everyone to move their tubs around the garden.

My best fond memory of John M which I have told to many customers in my cab over the years;

It was the First Irish inter-city Licensed Taxi driver Chrimbo bash in Cork in Jan 2018.
It was just Myself, Korky, Rats and John M.
We met up at the Briar Rose pub in Douglas at about 2.30pm which is a kinda upper class pub.
We had a few scoops, exchanged Chrimbo gifts, pulled a few Chrimbo crackers and the Craic was great.
Korky did not like the atmosphere of the what he called a 'Prosecco pub' and everyone agreed,
so we called a Taxi and moved on in to town.

My suggestion was to go to Coughlan's on Douglas street which is kinda an old mans pub, or a more mature clientele.
We arrive there in the Taxi at about 4pm on a Tuesday and the bar is empty, John M straddles in First, sniffs the air and declares out loud;
"Ah now, dis is a grand Bozzer dis, ya can smell da Tawlet n all !"

When you walk in to a pub most usual men ask fer their order of pints or whatever.
Not so fer John M, his First question to any Cork bar maid was; "Are ye married ?",
which of course starts the Craic going straight away.

I suppose for a cork bar maid the safest the thing to say would be yes in answer to the question posed by our John

Back on track more than twice as many people applied for the dizzeeze money and loads more for the give us wages while we dont work money .If this goes on more than 12 weeks will we be able to pay as there is not much tax money coming in .The Finnish Social welfare system is crashing they cant afford to pay .Can we ?

In Finland employees pay into an unemployment fund, that fund is running out and is calling on the Finnish government to bail them out, our government pay us directly, slight difference, I don't think there is an issue getting the money, paying it back long term will be the issue.
I heard recently that Britain has only just finished paying America and Canada back for monies owed from WW2, I guess over time the figures don't seem as large, a bit like the Mortgage, initially it seemed like a fortune then your borrowing more for a car over 3 years

[john m]

I read a piece on Car purchase .It said that some manufacturers will be offering interest free over 7 years to get rid of stock .

I think you need to ring Liberty and see what their arrangements are,as an AXA customer i rang and like other drivers with AXA they seem to be doing something to ease the burden.
