Franz Kafka: alive and well, working for Irish government

If you apply for post-nuptial Irish citizenship due to being married to an Irish person, you must pay the government a fee. Sounds fair enough so far? Right. However, it MUST be by bank draft drawn on an Irish bank and sent to Dublin. AND, if you live abroad you will be told to do this by the embassy overseas. BUT, you cannot raise a bank draft in Ireland (we are talking about the euro equivalent of a hundred punts here) unless you do it through YOUR OWN BANK ACCOUNT in Ireland!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Brilliant! Well done! Top marks! I have to fly to Ireland and open a bank account in order to give the fuckwit Irish government the equivalent of about US$200!!!

Hats off lads. Well done. Outstanding. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Yes, I remember how intelligent their system was when I got my passport a few years ago (and was living abroad at the rime).
Can’t someone else with an Irish bank account get a banker’s draft written up on your behalf?

Lovely! So we can keep on with our Irish jokes then?

Q: What’s Irish and stays out all night?

A. Paddy O’Furniture

a better one

What do you call an Irishman that bounces round the room?

Rick O’Shea

Thanks, I’m here all week… try the veal

Paddy had been drinking at his local Dublin pub all day and most of the night.

Mick, the bartender says, " You’ll not be drinking anymore tonight Paddy. Paddy replies, “OK Mick, I’ll be on my way then.”

Paddy spins around on his stool and steps off. He falls flat on His face.“Shoite” he says and pulls himself up by the stool and dusts Himself off. He takes a step towards the door and falls flat on his face, “Shoite, Shoite!”

He looks to the doorway and thinks to himself that if he can just get to the door and some fresh air he’ll be fine. He belly crawls to the Door and shimmies up to the door frame. He sticks his head outside and takes a deep breath of fresh air,feels much better and takes a step out onto the sidewalk and falls flat on his face.

“Bi’Jesus… I’m fockin’ focked,” he says.

He can see his house just a few doors down, and crawls to the door,hauls himself up the door frame, opens the door and shimmies inside.

He takes a look up the stairs and says “No fockin’ way”. He crawls up the stairs to his bedroom door and says “I can Make it to the bed.”

He takes a step into the room and falls flat on his face. He says “Fock it” and falls into bed.

The next morning, his wife, Jess, comes into the room carrying A cup of coffee and says, “Get up Paddy. Did you have a bit to drink last night?”.

Paddy says, “I did Jess. I was fockin’ pissed. But how’d you know?”

“Mick phoned, . . . You left your wheelchair at the pub.”

HAHAHA!

Luckily I happen to know someone with an account in Ireland who is willing to pay for me. Perhaps it is some kind of test?
