    As opposed to the generally positive experiences?

    I mean an experience that was unfair/illegal/immoral, as opposed to just being bitter about having to pay a fine for parking illegally..

    IT's gotten to the stage where I think Galway First should be paying subscription to boards.ie

    No. They're absolutely lovely people*, very fair minded and doing their job well in spite of scandalously unfair and biased articles by lazy incompetent plagiarising hacks* in local papers.




    *One of these descriptions is true.

    Galway City Council terminated their contract with clampers and only give out tickets now. whatever private carparks do with clamping is up to themselves...there ye go, I've even written a few lines of the article for ya and saved you a bit of research! PM me to let me know where I can pick my commision

    They massarced an entire estate out Salthill side.

    Rumors abound regarding the head clamper eating his enemies hearts but you could put that in as "sources speculate..."
