    This newspaper was delivered at a house in Doughiska area today. I could not believe my eyes when a relation posted these picture for us to see.

    See photos

    Imagine it is todays paper (FREE) which is distribited to peoples houses in Galway city. It was like person who put through a letter box had done lots with it as it also had been written on etc. In short may I should say a maybe filthy paper.

    I can not believe that GA will pay people to distribute disgusting newpaper to someones house that one can not even read, imagine with children in the house, diseases etc.

    Can someone tell us if this is usual please?

    Just another example of how standards are falling all round us. Nowadays few people can even remember the good old days when the butler carefully ironed the newspaper before placing it on the master's breakfast table ...:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    There are diseases out there esp viruses etc, better not to drop a paper in a condition they would not like themselves.

    Can't you see writing on the top page? said there was more inside also.

    I understand totally. I was reading an article only yesterday about how newspapers are the most common carrier for HIV and herpes.

    Really though, if you're that worried about your kids you should just buy a big bubble for them to live in.

    The only suspect thing that I could notice is in the second photo: none of them have their eyes open.

    Don't mind everyone OP, I think it's disgraceful. You should ask for your money back.

    This isn't even a first world problem. More like a zeroth world 'problem'.

    This thread is a load of life-waste.

    That's fooking hilarious!! :D:D In all honesty, I was thinking it was going to be some extreme right-wing anti immigration blurb and I groaned to myself and put my head in my hands genuinely expecting the worst. And it's this! Phhheeeew!

    you should call the newspaper and get the delivery boy sacked or maybe even prosectuted for a start, then onto the solictors and try get some compensation for the emotional damaged you have suffered. Also go public get on to an un-crumbled disease free newspaper and get your story out there!

    my deepest sympathies OP and good luck with your struggle for justice :)

    Jesus Christ! Talk about a let down I was expecting to read about free porn being distributed not a slightly soggy, torn Galway Advertiser.

    OP, cop yourself the fúck on would ya? Bin the damn thing, walk down to the Centra in Doughiska and pick up another copy. They are free and you will find stacks of them in any shop around Galway.

    Failing that put up a small sign over your letter box stating you do not want any more papers delivered and you are all set.

    No more deliveries of the Hanta virus, Botulism, or the black plague coming through your letter box. Oh how you will laugh when the rest of us are wiped out....

    Joe Duffy OP

    Or is there a Galway equivalent?
    I never listened to Galway Bay FM. Do they have a champion for the little man?

    OP quick, get the bleach. Scrub and decontaminate any surface that paper came into contact with. Scour the flesh from your hands and the paint from around you letter box. Then seal it up. After all post may have been handled by some germ infested, virus ridden post person. Best not to take any chances.

    Perish the thought!

    Back in my day we didn't get the advertiser free :(

    We queued over an hour on a Wednesday outside the Eyre Sq office with a few thousand other students for the accomadation list and had to pay for it

    Then frantically call ads trying to sort accomadation

    Youngsters these days with their daft.ie, they have it easy :p

    laughing in disbelief at this thread, thanks OP. Also if your kids pic up an infection from a wet newspaper, then you've clearly been over protective of them and ruined their immune system. Do ya live close to the road? Could someone have finished it and instead of littering thought, i'll post it in here for the craic?

    Better to buy one than get one that one did not ask for.

    One is most amused at one's grievances, might one suggest that one is not serious and is acting in a devilish manner.
