Hi there..........have you maybe answered the question yourself, in that he has been hurt before and is afraid of being hurt again?. Give it time I would say and good luck
Sections of the Square shopping centre available and clearly marked for sections of the ground you are sitting in. Just heard this now, so taking into account there are only going to be 10,000 people there it should be grand.
Not insurance but a credit card story..........hardly worth starting a thread on but humerous none the less......
Reported in the Irish Times recently; Only in Ireland !!!!
Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die! This is so priceless And so easy to see happening - customer service, being what it is today!
A lady died this past September, and MBNA bank billed her for October and November for their annual service charges on her credit card, and Then added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance that had been E0.00, now is somewhere around E60.00.
A family member placed a call to the MBNA Bank:
Family Member: 'I am calling to tell you that she died in January.'
MBNA: 'The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.' Family Member: 'Maybe, you should turn it over to collections.'
MBNA: 'Since it is two months past due, it already has been.'
Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?'
MBNA: 'Either report her account to the frauds division or report her to The credit bureau, maybe both!'
Family Member: 'Do you think God will be mad at her?' MBNA: 'Excuse me?'
Family Member: 'Did you just get what I was telling you . . The part about her Being dead?'
MBNA: 'Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor.' Supervisor gets on the phone: Family Member: 'I'm calling to tell you, she died in January.'
MBNA: 'The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.' Family Member: 'You mean you want to collect from her estate?'
MBNA: (Stammer) 'Are you her lawyer?'
Family Member: 'No, I'm her great nephew.' (Lawyer info given)
MBNA: 'Could you fax us a certificate of death?' Family Member: 'Sure.' ( fax number is given )
After they get the fax:
MBNA: 'Our system just isn't set up for death. I don't know what more I Can do to help.'
Family Member: 'Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing Her. I don't think she will care.'
MBNA: 'Well, the late fees and charges do still apply.'
Family Member: 'Would you like her new billing address?' MBNA: 'That might help.'
Family Member: ' Glasnevin Cemetry, Finglas Road , Dublin 11, Ireland , Plot Number 1049.'
MBNA: 'Sir, that's a cemetery!'
Family Member: 'Well, what the **** do you do with dead people on your planet?'
MBNA were not available for comment when a reporter from the Irish Times rang.
Apparently while he was doing his medical he complained to the doctor "Everytime I look in the mirror I get turned on". The doc replied......"That's cos your a C**T"
My current car is the best I have ever had, Audi A4 Sport tiptronic gearbox. Imported from the UK and it has many extra's that you don't get with the Irish spec Audi. I had never actually been a passenger in an Audi until the day I took it for a test drive........and to be honest I will never drive anything other than an Audi again lol.
OK so it might be off topic but this is brilliant and deserves a wider audience-
In Scotland, Rangers fans had a cunning plan to get tickets to see their side win the SPL at Tannadice after the away allocation quickly sold out. A poster on a Rangers forum wrote: "Phone up the club shop and ask to buy a pair of Dundee United socks. Don't even mention tickets for Sunday. They might become suspicious.
"Then when they take your sock order, personal details and process your payment, your details will be stored on their system. Phone up again and order your home tickets for the Rangers match and because of your sock order, you will be on their system and you will get your match tickets. It's perfect."
Perfect, aside from the fact there was no such database, resulting in Rangers fans ending up with hundreds of pairs of Dundee United socks and no match tickets. The poster was a CELTIC fan.
RE: platonic friend?
Failing that you could just look him straight in the eyes and say "I suppose a ride is out of the question?" pmpl
