    Well you're reading the news. It doesn't tend to report on things like "Man in Dublin didn't blow up something today, he had a sandwich for lunch and might watch Eastenders later".

    I tend to avoid the news. Awfully depressing.

    The sheer volume of explosive devices floating around the Duberlin underworld is pretty amazing. This plus the skangers, glad I don't live there.

    Have witnessed similar or worse in Chicago,London,Glasgow and Birmingham over the years.

    For the comparitively docile standard of policing we have here we're not doing too badly imo.
