Too many poles in Dublin?

mountainyman

Don't get me wrong I'm no racist but there's too many poles in Dublin. They are taking over.

Just this morning I was walking down the street there was a pole in front of me but I wasn't looking, actually had my wallet out. BIG MISTAKE.

Anyway walked staright into the f cker and banged my head. This has happened to me with the same one about 4 times.

Why can't they bury the phone and power lines. All these poles are unsightly and unsafe.

xenophobe!

The ones that only go to testicle height are worse.

Sure just do with all the skangers do:
Fake injury and sue the city council.

AlmightyCushion

It would cost a fortune to bury them all and also to repair lines. As above the title had me thinking you were on about a completely different topic altogether. You are right though there are a lot of poles around dublin especially that big one on O'connell street.

Loads of ****en poles around my parents house, atleast they got rid of some in the old street I used to live in

They should be getting rid of them on any streets their re-doing to be honest,

You think it's only in the pale? They're bleeeeding everywhere!

Haha, this is great.

Poles do the job though!

If we didn't have them we'd be lost

admiralofthefleet

Jaysus man, last night I walked into twenty plus poles while trying to walk away and look sober to the Garda.

Pherekydes

Poles? Bah.

What about the Angles? Now they really are everywhere. You're driving along a perfectly straight road when you see your sign for whereever and it's invariably at a 90 degree angle. Much screeching of brakes and cursing and you're back on a straight road. But not for long...

Bloody angles. Everywhere.

And don't get me started on them Swedes, or Czechs. Like basketballs they are...(the checks).

Ran into one on (a crowded) Grafton street once. Forced myself to nonchalantly stroll off down a side street (during the testicle pain window) before collapsing

Personally though, the poles in Eastern Europe are far slimmer than the ones here.

Not to mention the fact that they carry like three times the amount of electricity.

Ah comon now sure they do the jobs the lazy fcukers over here turn their noses up at, fair play to them for standing all day holding up the wires, not many of us would do it for the wages they get !

A lot of poles are trafficked here illegally and end up working in places like Angels and Legs. Most of them work 24 hours, in dim lighting and with little hope of ever going home.

But if there were more poles around then the lighting wouldn't be so bad. That doesn't really solve the problem of too many poles though, rather contributing to it.

Well if we put lights on all the poles that don't have lights on them, then we could take down the poles that have light on them now which would reduce the amount of poles.

They certainly know how to pick their timing. Poles only ever attack me when its dark and im drunk.

Don't forget that if it wasn't for poles, your dogs would be crossed legged.

one thing ive noticed is that they're getting very cocky..not just the poles but most east europeans

when they came here first they had a sort of "yes a massa" type of manner about them, but not now

I know, I know I just want them to hold up the sign or light. I don't want an earful from a skinny piece of metal.
