Renumbering the lifeboats
So Eamonn “The Joker” Ryan is at it again.
Have you noticed that The Greens are desperate to show us all the wonderful things they have done while in power?
They have been very loud over things like cluttering up the streets of Dublin with bicycles, which is all very well but it is fuck all use to people waiting on gurneys in hospitals, or raising the tax on petrol yet again.
Now The Joker is talking about introducing post codes!
What the fuck?
He says it will cost a mere fifteen million. The experts on the other hand say it will cost nearer twenty five million. I know who I believe, but of course Ryan lives in fairy-land so that’s all right.
This is the government that is so cash strapped that they can’t afford to vaccinate against cervical cancer?
This is the government that is so cash strapped that they wanted to remove medical cards from the elderly?
This is the government that is so cash strapped that they are going to tax us, our children and our grandchildren to the hilt to pay for their mistakes?
What the fuck kind of hallucinogen is he on?
Call me paranoid but I have an instinctive distrust of post codes, or any fucking codes for that matter. It’s just another way for us to be labelled, and tagged and computerised.
Soon I will be known as 1642859w, WIK 01 BX. That’s me. Name, address, the lot.
How do I know that this would end in chaos and tears? Years of letters and parcels going to the wrong places because they have fucked up the coding system and made a bags of the whole thing?
You can fuck off with your codes, Ryan.
You have helped drive the ship on the rocks, and now you want to renumber the lifeboats.
Now if you want to be remembered for doing something really useful – how about bringing down the worst, most incompetent government in the history of the state?
Now that would be worthwhile.
It isn’t even going to do the job properly.

What a waste of our money, at a time when we can ill afford it.
Mary Coughlan was right when she called them ‘na glasraí’.
Chris P – I see the cost is now ten million!! If they can’t even get the cost right?? Once again, this is just another pathetic attempt to be ‘one of the gang’. Everyone else has one so we must have one.
Its a small island. It only has one city I think with anything near a million in it. Our postmen and women generally know where streets are and then there is a simple numbering system on the doors.
Why do I suddenly get the feeling that somewhere in Ireland there is a small well-connected logistics company which needs a fruity contract?
You tell him Grandad !
I think Con is right about the contract too.
.-= Séamus´s last brainfart .. What’s new.. =-.
15 Million? All they need is a civil servant who wasn’t doing anything anyway (no shortage of them) to work their way through google maps with a pen and paper!
So, now we have your PPS number then?
Indeed greeners, get with the program and pull out.
‘The plan will be pitched by the Government as a boost for the troubled postal service.’;
-Why not go the whole hog and set up Fás courses for town criers and pigeon trainers?
I must say I cannot see the logic of this at this time.
Jobs for the boys? More than likely.
Fiddling while Rome burns? Definitely.
We have more people here in metro Atlanta than in Eire. So I don’t see why you would need a post code system. Of course we are all paddling around in kayaks this morning.
