THE SECOND-LARGEST trade union in the State has urged its members not to pay the household charge.

Unite yesterday called on its 60,000 members not to register for the charge ahead of the March 31st deadline.

Unite was among several trade union groups which yesterday voiced their opposition to the €100 household charge.

And where do you stand, comrades?

“To quote your first president Douglas Hyde: ‘A word is more lasting than the riches of the world’. Tonight, grateful for our shared past and hopeful for our common future, I give my word to you prime minister and to the people of Ireland as long as I am president you will have a strong friend, a steadfast ally and a faithful partner in the United States of America.”

Mmf.

Hey, remember when you used to hate phone numbers that contained ‘0’ or ‘9’ because of the length of time it took to dial?

*crickets*

Never mind.

For a thoroughly modern $100 the iRetroPhone syncs and recharges three devices at once, absorbs radiation and works with all iPhone and iPad iterations except the first-gen iPhone. All this, while emulating what your grandparents back in the 1990s used to refer to as a ‘rotary dialler’.
