I topped a Leap card up during the week and promptly lost it. Longer story, but it was actually a friend's card so not registered to me, I asked if she could block it and request a refund. Turns out she never registered it, no refund possible 🙈😢 I'm an idiot for assuming, not getting another of my own, for not trying to register it, and for loosing it. 50+ squids gone...
P.S. That was a sunny good mood Thursday morning realisation... 😖 When I had to go buy a new card to get to work, and if it is not obvious, I'm still a little butt hurt about it 🤣🤣🤣

I thought the whole messing about with the clocks thing had been abolished by the EU.
Another one is I had a late night on friday so I was exhausted last night. Then just as I had fallen sound asleep I got a text trying to push some stupid app. After that it took me ages to get back to sleep.

Official Retraction... In some excellent news, while sucking it up and doing house work today, the card was discovered to have lost itself amongst my bed linen not on the walk home as I believed and I am 54 eur richer 🥳🥳🥳 I should have publicly moaned sooner and I might have found it quicker 🤣🤣🙈🙈🙈🤣🤣

Difficult toxic family members with addiction issues, there bloody hard work and everyone else is wrong but them, no appreciation either for what you do for them, I wish to christ he would just F-off and take his poxy drink with him and leave us alone, just sick of him and his toxic behaviour.

It is only perception, I know. But the evenings seem to fly by since the clocks changed. Before you know it it is really late.

Revenue have time to be chasing down 7 year old statistical returns that people didn't do ... Let me hit my head off a wall 🤦♀️😤

In the ha'penny place with that.
A couple of months ago they asked me to produce a bit of paper relating to a 1998 purchase.
RE: The Rant Thread - nothing - 04-04-2022
Jaysus. Standard practice is to keep stuff for 6 years and no longer, isn't it?!
RE: The Rant Thread - dawg - 04-04-2022
The Revenue personage involved took a running jump ( after this course of action was politely suggested to them )
RE: The Rant Thread - ari101 - 04-04-2022
You are not wrong nothing... from Revenue's own website:
"In general you must retain all books, records and documents relevant to your business for a period of six years."
However, technically the return should have been done back in 2015 (I was not responsible for this) so I doubt sending them a MyEnquiry quoting their own website with a PFO is a good idea 😂😂😂

Elon Musk is constantly warning us that super intelligent AI is going to take over the human race any day now.
If predictive text is anything to go by then we have absolutely nothing to worry about. it hasn't even reached the level of village idiot yet.
RE: The Rant Thread - dawg - 07-04-2022
Probably referencing USA.
Its not that AI is getting super better*......its more the population is getting umm..... dumber and dumber
Wonder if this is true ?
I have a recollection of the death rate /100k due to transportation is many times higher than yer average euroland country......
Doubtless accidental shootings in The US would go down with a bit of AI
America needs AI

1 revenue collect and are entitled to proof if retirnss from 6 years end of year
2 revenue are entitled to collect infor form any non returned information without statutory limit
So I I earn money In 2020 I return in 2021 so I have to retain info till 2027 so it looks like 7 years
If I start the business in 2020 I don't have to return till 2022 and so they can expect me to retain till 2028 which looks like 8 years
If I run a business and don't return ther is no limit.
I used to runy own businesss.till revenue decided to audit me
Cost me a literal shit ton and they found me did nothing wrong
Now I run another guys business and an audit means overtime

It isn't an easy thing but sometimes the overall quality of life they can provide because of the facilities is better. My grandma spent over 4 years in one and it really was the best option, she retained her dignity and was safely supported with her increased needs.

What's happening in Ireland, every day a murder or attack, looks like to be hate homophobic killings in Sligo from online dating and an elderly lady killed in Dublin
RIP all the victims
RE: The Rant Thread - Leg End Reject - 13-04-2022
It's bizarre to see 2 homophobic murders in one town, they have to be connected.
Sickening in this day and age.

Apparently there was an attack in Sligo also last week or the week before some speculation connected, serial attacker killer, sounds like a TV show but reality in Ireland in Sligo not that the location should matter

I have no issue with muslem people living in Sligo but the need to buck up their ideas.

I don't care the age, race, religion, sex or ethnicity etc., of the murderer, deserves to serve all his life in a hell hole prison
I hope the country has rallies, protests and vigils for the victims
RE: The Rant Thread - Necro - 14-04-2022
I don't mind the rallies or vigils but some people online are using the reaction to Ashling Murphy's murder as a willy waving contest for how people should react to these senseless deaths.
Does everything have to be comparable these days? Can you not decry all three without having to measure reaction between them?
RE: The Rant Thread - Tigger - 14-04-2022
What's the issue ? I'm going to the town hall tomorrow cos the town needs to show anyone that's needs to be shown that we stand against this vehiviour.
Same as we stand against the murder of anyone but Ive met Michael and I've lived in cartron and I'd drunk ponts in Foley's.

I do see your point @Necro ( after checking the meaning of decry
) but I feel all the men bashing during Aishling Murphy's murder about female victims male culprits etc., that male victims also deserve the same coverage and also the older lady murdered in Dublin by a female, everyday seems to be a killing / murder in Ireland these days @Tigger I am sorry about your friend
