Off-duty Guard: Have another one.

Me: No, I'm driving.

ODG: Go on, it's no problem, I guarantee there won't be a checkpoint on the way home. :eek:
Me: Go on, then!

So what? I have no mad stories about gards on the lock. One guy i went to school with is a cop now and the town drunk aswell. One other friend is also a cop and he is sound and doesn't drink.

I'm not surprised tbh, a lot of the 'dancing' you'll see here is a crime. /taxi for 1

Did you have to deal with him 'professionaly' OP? If so what about?

"Country" cousins of mine who I visit quite often drink in a certain pub which will remain nameless.....up to a few years ago when this particular Garda retired he would have a few pints with them in the local (the only pub for miles around), about 15 mins before closing every night he would get up and leave and drive home, this was the signal that you had about 45mins to get out and get your cars home, he'd then arrive back in uniform and check the pub.......although this is going back a good few years come to think of it, things weren't nearly as strict regarding drink driving.

Ah I see, well I still think he was just joking in this thread. If you have problems with that thread reply to it or report posts you think are out of order. We're not mind readers, it seemed like you were being a bit grumpy here without seeing the other thread.

And that thread is from 3 months ago...

I think you're reading too much into it, anyway. Back on topic.

I would just like to confirm that my post was in fact in jest. Apologies to any gardai who were insulted.

someone cried wolf on me but your man still had to come out and deal with it. So he was dead sound about it anyway but its just a bitch to have that done to you. And embarrassing.

Any guard i've met has been grand. Not a nice thing to have done to you though.

You've never met an immigration officer then. I'm convinced they're all racist pricks. The boys in blue out on the street however: I totally agree, theyve all been dead on.

Regularly meet one in my local

But I did go to school with them and the meetings are fairly pre-arranged, so I doubt that counts...

But yes, police *are* allowed private lives, shocking as it may seem!

i knew a couple of fellas a few years back who were renting a house from a garda. one of them was fitting a car stereo one time when the gard called around for the rent. after finding out how much he paid for the stereo the garda started laughing. 'you should've fcuking said it to me first, we always have a few lying around the station. i could've giving it to you for cutting the grass or something'
apparently the cops would raid fellas they knew would have a few items any time they were looking those particular items. the fellas i knew ended up getting a couple of televisions and discman (it was a while ago) and various things.
the mad part of it was the garda chap told them that some times, if one of them was having a party or something, they'd raid a couple of fellas who they knew would have a bit of smoke or whatever, and take that too. who is going to complain if their court date, for getting nabbed with a bag of weed, never materialises??

It's a shame too,because degenerates like that give the vast majority good people a bad name!

How many years ago was this Longshanks?I just find it hard to believe a crooked cop would let young fellas know what he is doing!
