    sigh Sofiztikated read the enite thread before making a fecking slash...and actually they have to!,A friends dad once asked and they refused ended up breaking his arm and the guards got in **** for it...I guess its if your in more of a bad state((But have to if you feel your indangered

    I did read the thread.

    You were out, wanted to get home, taxi wouldn't go due to dangerous conditions, you believed some bull**** urban legend about how Gardi are supposed to bring you home if you ask, they swiftly told you to piss off.

    They may escort you home if they believe you are a danger to yourself or others, but more likely a night in the cells.

    Why didn't you organise a way home before you went out, especially seeing as it was so bad on the roads?

    And Jesus, your posts make my eyes bleed.

    oK the 2nd part is bad but the first part is heh as in a laugh and tbh is to be honest,which is commonely used on this and many other forums.Sorry though,I do have terrible typing skills :o

    Why didn't you organise a way home before you went out, especially seeing as it was so bad on the roads?

    Because I never thought that the taxi service would refuse to give me service.

    Exactly 1 year ago to night ( Christmas Eve 2008) my friend's brother could not get a taxi to take him home from a country pub, decided to walk and was 100 mtrs. from home when he was knocked down, he is now paralyzed from the neck down.

    One thing I always got my kids to promise me when they were going out for the night was that they would not walk home.

    Fair enough the guards not taking you home, but not giving yourself and a friend a place to kip is bolloxology of the highest order.

    I have a friend who is a guard and he was saying something similar happened in the station he was posted to first. Two guys couldn't get to either of their places because of ice. The guards let them into the station, sat them down and fed them tea and biscuits all night and let them kip in one of the cells, then they drove them home the next morning. It might be outside the rules (and I know they can't take every homeless person off the street) but if one or two normal people got in a bind, and they're not taking the piss, let them crash in a cell. Sure the fire brigade offered to let me stay in their station if they couldn't find a taxi for me when I was in the same situation.

    Also, a friend with a house offered his spare room to some random (non-mental looking) guy who lost his phone, friends and money. The guy refused, but people can be nice. And I'd have expected the guards to be.

    Same thing happened to a relation of mine. He fell down on a back road and the driver of a truck thought it was a black plastic bag and drove over him.

    This time of the year is always horrible getting taxis.

    I know this is AH but the truth is the Guards are not insured to take you home. Apologies for the straight laced post. I'll leave now:)

    if you are in tramore on a night out the tramore taxis wont take you to waterford but if youre in waterford the waterford taxis will take you to tramore. Surely this has to be against regulations for the tramore taxis.

    In all fairness though I never would have expected the taxis not to drive out this far,Tis my first winter of being able to go out if thats any excuse so never had to get a late taxi at this time of year.

    What the Guards and Fire Brig did was very nice in your post:D

    Hmmm, yet you expect a taxi driver in a bog standard saloon to take you take you home on the same roads. methinks thou protesteth too much to take much notice of!
