Michael Collins

Can you see Jack Charlton and the Child of Prague dancing around the mantle piece as well?

Or maybe Bill Clinton's around?

Agent Smith

yes, and i happen to be posting on boards as well....


what the hell do you think?

Chucky the tree

maybe its a lighthouse?

John R

It is probably somebody's burglar alarm, they piss me off constantly these days.

Whatever it is it is local to you, I am not far away from Killiney and can hear nothing.

Victor

Well there actually is an air raid siren in the barracks in Rathmines.

Agent Smith

but out as far as killiney? it's stoped now anyway, was just wondering what it was, if anyone knew?

knifey_spoonie

We have one of those in mountmellick, in Laois . It goes off whenever the civil defence guys get bored

They test it at noon every Friday

The Real B-man

maybe the siren was blasting?

Unpossible

yes you are under attack, quickly unplug everything including the phone, put on your tin foil hat and stay under the bed. Don't come out from under the bed or they'll find you, don't take off the hat, this is how they read your thoughts.



or you could have been standing too close to a speaker or something

Agent Smith

You're lucky. At 2am this morning, I had a helicopter chasing skangers around the place.

ahh, does always be up my way too that hehe
I can sometimes hear the roadstone siren going up when they're blasting the rock, but its a fair bit away

Have had them blowing stuff up on the dock road here in limerick several times and have had that blasted helicopter buzzing houses too at 2 in the morning.

Would have thought there would be some sort of an air raid siren in Sarsfield barracks in Limerick although I have never heard it or heard of it being tested.

Jamesobrady

Billy you live on the dock road?
Not the apartments opposite the hotel?
I used to live in the apartment on 3rd floor over the entrance to the eurocarpark. The day i moved in i was working nightshift,trying to sleep at 9am and the blasting started! That was 2 years ago. lol
They still burning out cars in that carpark?
