    In the deep dark hills of eastern Tennessee,
    That's the place where I trace my bloodline,
    And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone,
    You will never leave Nashville alive

    And thats how it was, a cut throat town. You wouldn't look at your own shadow sideways.

    Thats why I resided in the rural setting. No fuss, no trouble. Until that evening in the winter of '48 when Jeremy Bannon lost his mind and emptied a pound of lead into himself. Other than that event, life was good.

    pony's have no place in social housing, we need more interesting ways of harvesting our social welfare payments in a more clean and sober fashion

    I was driving home earlier & got a really menacing look from a cow.

    Needless to say, I've locked all the doors tonight.

    I live in a rough area of east London, this exact time last week i saw a guy get his front teeth kicked in right outside my window by an angry mob of muslims, apparently he took a piss on the side of there Mosque. When the cops came and asked for a description of his attackers he said it was a gang of muslims, one of the cops asked "how do you know there were muslims?" He blurted out of his bloody mouth "well they came running out of a f**king Mosque"

    Possibly hunting the nearby fields for discarded batter burgers?

    So rough even the dogs ask for a smoke. No, I know that makes no sense but I've been watching Adventure Time for the last hour and it makes me laugh............and that's all that matters.

    There's a hell of a lot of scumbies in Limerick. I went there a few weeks ago. It was like stepping back in time to Ireland in the early 1990's.

    6 people shot/stabbed to death with 250 yards of my house in the last three years or so. Garda station 80 yards or so from my house!

    In saying that the area is grand in all honesty, never had any hassle myself!

    atm the worst you have to worry about is getting stung by a wasp

    i did live just up the road from st mels in athlone for a while and for anyone that knows athlone that wasn't the nicest neighbourhood, had stones thrown at my window at about 4am one night, gangs of people across the road late at night and when walking home from the clubs, middle aged men out of their minds drunk at 8am

    Not bad. Ever since ive grown up in the area we went through cycles of scumbag groups. Each one of them fall by the wayside by drugs, prison or cop on to themselves. Then we usually get a quiet few years until the next generation of scrotes appear. At them moment we seem to have missed a generation although you can see some young lads that have scumbag potential.

    Very rough, lots of potholes :D.

    I got no neighbours, enough dogs to deter scumbag who may be passing on their way to richer pickings and the odd stray cow on my driveway.

    Long may it continue to be so quiet!

    Nextdoor neighbour was found butchered to pieces in Holland,the Garda,when they were searching his house, said he was a fairly big drug dealer,never had a clue,seemed like a nice auld lad.

    Have been a fair amount of shootings in the area too,and two fella's from round the corner who I went to primary school with are in Mountjoy for posession of over a million euro worth of heroin,and the local Londis has had to put of a security barrier around the til after being robbed 4 times in 3 months too.

    But saying that it's actually not that bad of an area once people know you!
