    An AIB branch in Cork literally has egg on its face after it was hit by a man in a suit.

    AIB has said it does not know the identity of the man who threw dozens of eggs at its regional offices and branch on the South Mall in Cork city around 11.30 today.

    The well-dressed man stood on the street and brought traffic to a halt for a number of minutes as he threw eggs from a cardboard box at the building.

    He disappeared shortly afterwards, leaving the empty box behind him.

    An AIB spokeswoman confirmed the incident, but said the man did not come into the building.

    The spokeswoman said AIB did not know who the man was or why he threw the eggs at the building.

    She said the bank would not be making a complaint to the gardaí.

    So who's the culprit for skulling the thankful and grateful AIB, a boardsie? ;):D

    Probably a pissed off bank manager who has had to take a 1 million euro pay cut and is now expected to live on only 2 milliona year.

    He picked the wrong bank if he was the guy earning under 2m

    There was a nutcase a few years back in Limerick who went up the street with a baseball bat smashing all the windows of shops. When questioned he said he was trying to show criminals there were ways of committing crimes without resorting to violence.

    Idiot :D

    Shame he didn't spray his mayo all over it.
    Get it? Mayo? It's made from eggs. But it kinda makes ya think of semen. No not seamen! Ah nevermind. Goddamn AH and it's simple pun-based humour.

    I have an idea - EGG THESE CORRUPT DISGRACEFUL BANKS that have cost us, the decent hardworking taxpayers, dearly. EGG THE F*CK out of them then take a picture of it and post it up here so we can LAUGH AT THE B*ASTARDS. if enough places get egged it is sure to get media coverage and highlight PUBLIC ANGER AND DISSATISFACTION and increase pressure on politicians TO MAKE THESE CORRUPT C*NTS face trial and possible JAIL TIME. Myself and my 3 siblings all work in the public service and are facing into tough times because of these GREEDY F*UCKS. Sorry for the language, I am just very angry about this whole situation.

    Edit: Actually I think this idea merits a thread of its own so Im gonna post this there instead.

    anyone noticed, the story was in the Craic section on RTE's website, rather than the Business or Crime section.
    those staffs working at the AIb local branch probably were terrified when the egging took place, and some people think this is funny?!
    some may say AIB got what it deserved, but what about the innocent wage earners who happen to be in the branch at the time?

    Yeah but if they put it in the crime section they are going to have to take on extra staff to update the site every halloween.

    You do realise that when an egg hits a building, more often than not there will be no explosions or tremors. There is a fair chance that nobody will die.

    I reckon the people in the bank are gonna be just fine mate. Sure its not like a personal attack on them, just the muppetry running the organisation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,367 ✭✭✭Agamemnon


    AIB sat on the wall,
    AIB had a big fall.
    And all the taxpayers and all the king's men,
    Paid a fortune to put AIB together again.
