    Blood1, how dare you question people on here. You are upsetting them by asking questions about the photos of them using blue lights.

    You should be ashamed of yourself.

    Jesus, what an RTC of a thread. Never read such BS in my life. Worse than the "Airport Police aren't really police" BS.

    If people want to have a moan about how no one is listening to them cry about how volunteers use blue lights without permission, might I suggest a thread in Voluntary Emergency Services about blue lights use?

    Would seem a bit pointless when they are blood bike it's in the name.

    If someone buys one then let them off.

    If you have the cash you can buy anything it just would have to have the lights removed or covered.

    Unfortunately this is the reason blood bike threads get shut down here. You just cant have a neutral debate. Its always open season on BBE. No matter what we do, we are slated by certain individuals(under various names).

    What is the gripe with bbe ?

    Is there certain people that were turned down or something and now have a problem ?

    Sorry if this has been explained but I can't see any harm in a group doing good been bad.

    To give you a brief synopsis of the situation: there 7 groups currently in Ireland. 6 of these groups work together on a daily/weekly basis and then there is 1 other.
    No prizes for guessing where these disgruntled posters are from.
    They really need to ask themselves why nobody will deal with them.

    I hope your sarcasm isn't aimed at me. I don't care who s/he asks questions about but their timeline regarding starting an account and post history would suggest that they're only here to slate an organisation.

    Didn't know there were that many so it's bad form to be going against what all should be working towards.

    Any volunteer work is a very nice and rewarding thing to do and every bit helps.

    I don't understand why these people are having a go and bad mouthing.

    So Pataman does Bloodbike East have an Ambulance?

    That's all pataman does when he is asked questions, has a sissy fit and throw the rattle out of the pram. He blames others for everything that HE is responsible for.

    Let's have a look at the allegations about him and his group.


    Let his mate drive around while not insured, or with a valid licence.

    This mate was blue lighting around the country for his own amusement.

    No valid licence means NO insurance.

    Collected memberships of 100 people them told them they were only vols not members.

    Refused to show any financial reports or accounts to paid members.

    Lost all but 3 of his original committee because of his attitude.

    Blue lighting around Dublin posing like an idiot while being a danger to traffic.

    Sure of course this is everyone else's fault not his. There was a huge split in his group and his ego got bruised.

    There are people in this that are in it for the right reasons, but there are others.

    Now apperently he allows his crew to buy emergency vehicles for themselves.

    It is my position that this group has also pissed off so many people and when they face any critics in for bad antics the have a fit and blame everyone else.

    No doubt now we will see the usual blaming of people, threats to identify people and mud flinging.

    The facts of the matter as I see them is that when the behaviour of this group is taken to task he goes ballistic and tries to drag others into it. We never hear anything bad about any other group including the one he does not like because they split from his group and he is still sore about it.

    Ask yourself who was clowning around on blue lights, exactly, his group but he tries to deflect onto everyone else or people he does not like. God forbid he would take responsibility for his actions and stop being a baby.

    Jesus I tought voluntary ambulance services could be bitchy with each other...... We are all best buddy's compared to the blood bikes all I can add to this which is my experience as an EMT in a vol is guys think blue lights are the be all and end all that's why they join in some cases the min we have a patient they are jumping on the button (iv seen one guy drive across an open field with them on face palm) in reality in nearly every case I have had blues are not required and I don't put them on the point I'm making is you will always have a few guys who are idiots as for legality think that's been all said

    I have no wish to harm other groups as this sticks to them all. They all do good work including east, but they need to get rid of a few that are dragging all down.

    They were offered on ESF to put their side forward but wouldn't, just wanted the tread shut down. Very interesting.

    Again, I've nothing to do with any blood bike group or any other voluntary organisation.

    Any question I had was valid in relation to carrying out a blue light escort. I also don't see the need for blue lights due to no RTA excemptions and know they can legally have them.

    I see what you are saying not wanting to harm the group name as a hole but by saying it here now we all no (if true) so you have

    Maybe you think I'm wrong but if I had them kind of concerns over a member of my unit in my organisation or another organisation I would report it because I think that it would make us more reputable to be shown that we stamp it out rather than brush it under the carpet
