    So.. I started a course last night... Was getting picked over to the Luas. Luas tram was at the station with 2 "Adam and Paul" characters on it. One guy was a cripple with a gimpy leg.
    The Luas driver gets out of his cab and kicks them off.

    They 2 lads tried to "rob" 2 euro off a young guy who was buying his ticket...

    Adam and Paul: Give me your money
    Guy: no
    Adam and Paul: give it to me
    Guy: f**k off
    A & P: Ah here we'll give you this bag of cans if you give us 2 euro..
    Anyway that went on for another minute or so before the young chap told them to f**k off.

    So I'm standing across the road in a suit with a laptop bag. The gimpy guy pointing across to me with his crutch saying "here look at yer man with the suit, he's got a laptop bag come on.." So took them a minute or so to get over to me.

    A & P: whats in your laptop bag?
    Me: What do you think is in my laptop bag?
    A & P: Don't be getting smart with me
    Me: There's a laptop in my laptop bag, what else would i use a laptop bag for?
    A & P: Give us the laptop
    Me: no
    A & P: Give us the laptop or we'll take it
    Me: F**k off!
    A & P: don't be getting brave or we'll kill ya
    Me: you couldn't get 2 euro of a child over there, do you really think you're going to get my laptop off me?
    A & P: Here we've went about this the wrong way, lets do a deal. You give me your laptop we'll give you a bag of cans
    Me: Look just f**k off you two wasters

    Anyway it was a pretty funny end to my first evening in Tallaght IT, back tonight for some more punishment :)

    They were trying to give some cans to a young fella for 2 euro.....
    Not the sharpest tools in the box.

    I never actually seen some cans, just a lidl type bag that seem weighed down, could have been rocks for all i know!

    They sound badly trained!
    I don't know of any other knackers who'd offer to give you something back in exchange for taking your stuff ... or ones who'd even ASK - The good ones just attack, grab and run!
    Not that I'd know or anything ... *cough*

    Hope you're enjoying the course itself!

    :D

    HA ha, thats a cacker
    Great introduction to tallaght. mind you, its not a regular thing you dont see many smack heads during the day around tallaght. although seeing as you are doing evenings it might just be an idea to add a little weight to the laptop bag,
    for two reasons:
    first you could always use it to inflict some pain just think of it as swatting a bug.
    second let them take it and just walk a hundred yards or so in the direction they run after grabbing it and you will most likely find them and the bag on the ground in a heap due to the weight :pac:
    Trust me i've lived here all my life i know what i am talking about.
