    Not too far from there at the moment, Garda helicopter is overhead and I haven't heard any trains in a while (though thats probably a coincidence ;)

    Sure, a big sign with boards on it in the background of a minor riot, why wouldn't we want ourselves associated with the car burning skanger folks. No such thing as bad publicity :D

    Screw it, just get the skangers to sign up to boards while you're out there, AH would turn into the thunderdome within an hour!

    seems to have finished for the most part now. looks like the gardai had everything blocked off from the roundabout on cardiffsbridge road. Dunnes car park seemed to be the place to be for spectators, I thought I was gonna get charged an admission fee when I cut through about an hour ago.:eek:

    It's just another drink engorged party.

    That's good, because they'll leave the tokers alone at the slightly quieter party down the road. :)

    Obviously they are rioting in support of a Free Tibet. They saw what is happening in China and couldn't sit around doing nothing. Who can blame them?

    so what happened anyway. overheard a few people talking about people getting pulled out of their cars. seen a few cars / vans ablaze earlier on. Gardai seemed to slowly surround the area where gurramok took his pics. was all clear again when I walked by a couple of hours ago.

    Ha, there was no getting near that area you where when I was around earlier. Thought about taking a few from the car park at dunnes but was full up of scummers calling their mates asking which of them were arrested and which got away. thought it best not to start taking snaps.


    edit: It just got 5 seconds on the bog 1 news at 9.

    Thk i arrived around 7:30, no signs of any burnt cars which might had been removed by the time i got there but plenty of debris around as evidence of ve-hicle damage.

    I approached from tolka valley road with my cam. Understandable not taking pics though with them around, i was a bit nervous myself and careful to snap the above across the road from the ogling crowd.

    Dunno, aren't you near the scene anyway, take a gander around the corner :D

    Though i'm tempted to head down again, might keep me fit :)
