Friend of mine Roisin's interesting weekend.

Was at a 21st the other night and had a great time

....met a couple a girls and a guy, the guy being one of my really good friends.

So myself, him one of the girls and the birthday boy went back to my friend's apartment the others arrived not long after.

I left the door unlocked for one of the others.

Then a guy walks in..we don't know him...he's asked nicely to leave
(he lived in the same area,but hadn't talked to them before).

So a bit later we hear a bang and figure he's throwing bottles at the door....few mins later a bigger bang...check bedroom window and there's a hole in it!

I call the gardai, But before they get there the front door also acquires a hole. I call the gardai again, shortly after two gardai arrive and 3 of the guys go outside.

We look out and see something big in the guys hand.....

So we run up the stairs, the guys come back and tell us he was chasing the gardai with an axe, No wonder the windows broke!

So we call the gardai again, Tell them the 2 that came out were chased with the axe wielding maniac!

7 more of them arrive and he's eventually arrested.
We all give details etc and then Monday get called in to make statements....

moral of the story....Carlow is a ****hole!!

You sound like a student. Did you register in either one of the colleges without knowing the following fact?

It does appear that the level of crime is on the rise in Carlow in the last few months. The nightclub/student lifestyle that is prevalent during college months probably is responsible for a lot of it. I myself have been attacked in Carlow, but that was by a group from Dublin (well, only 2 really got involved), after an Alex Kidd gig in one of the clubs.

As for that pub in Carlow, I know the circumstances of that, and it appears to have been an organised crime involving people from Dublin. The owner & manager of the bar are from Dublin and spend most of their time there, and they believe they were targetted through one of their other pubs.

I was going to start that thread about the country LUAS but then I realised they don't have one.

Totally unfair.

love carlow, being from dublin, all the carlow scummers are nothing compared to the mainics you'll see in temple bar square 10 mins after the clubs close. (I like to get a coffee there, sit down and enjoy the show that is dublin live)... anyway.

carlow does however have a special kind of character, one who has too much to drink and a wee fight outside dinri won't do, he's gotta go one further and get an axe, or strool into someones house and pretend he belongs there (very common, keep the doors locked), or run naked down tullow street for a free bottle of smernoff ice.

I picture two culchie Gardai being chased by a culchie with an axe to the Benny Hill theme, it's a rather amusing picture.
