    Call the Gardai for me someone k

    Gonna hit the bed soon and have checked the perimeter after hearing strange noises but no sign of anyone as of yet, I am armed to the teeth but sleep like a log

    Feckin break ins all over the shop lately

    If I do happen to wake up and give a fella a belt of a mallet/hurley/golf club/bat (both baseball and cricket), thats allowed isnt it?

    The last resort is a knife in a little lock box next to the bed, but it is a stanley knife so has a use, i.e. not bought to hurt someone!

    Two schools of thought on this really, my instinct is to protect my home, my possessions etc and try to stop whoever would be breaking in, but when you have a couple of young kids is it better to lock yourselves into a room and wait for the Gardai? Let them take whatever they want like as long as Im sure the kids are with me and safe?

    Have you got a VHS of Angels With Dirty Faces lying around? Whack that on full blast, you'll be grand.

    If you're that worried ring the local station,wouldn't imagine the guards are all that busy at this hour.

    Few bangs on the bedroom floor,turning on of the landing light and flushing the jacks have all worked for me in scaring off burglars before.Would never attempt to physically deter a burglar because you don't know if they are armed,or even how many of them there are.
