    Not a car on nutley lane and not a soul then suddenly a man crossed over the road and asked me, in a thick Eastern European accent "where is the port? The one with the containers?". I said Dublin port or dun laoire? He goes "I dunno, the one with the containers, where is it?". I said that it must be Dublin so gave him road direction through ringsend and over the east link (5.5 miles roughly). He had the thickest Eastern European accent and was not drunk at all. He was like the greek's second in command in the Wire.

    This just happened to me. Should I just call the Gardai and log it or leave it? This could be nothing, drugs, bombs to be used in the EU or (again) nothing.

    As long as he wasn't asking for the New-clear wessals I think we're all safe.

    Scotty, beam me up.

    At least he'll be able to carry out his bombing or drug smuggling effectively...and without a hangover tomorrow if he has to do it again.

    Why would you call the Guards? If the man wants to sell drugs or collect bombs, let him.

    Think of his family who had an under privileged upbringing. If Daddy goes to jail they'll starve.

    That's my attitude. Victimless crimes essentially so I have retired to Ailesbury Road to watch the greatest tv show of them all in glorious HD; the Sopranos. Good night AH.

    Earlier, I ask strange Irish guy for simple directions on nutcase lane. He tries to help but he seems very píssed drunk. Now he starts thread on this AH place and tries to make me criminal. So I will have to pay him visit to clear this up.

    Why would you consider calling the Gardai at all?

    Asking directions in any accent isn't a crime.

    Plus, the Gardai don't really bother doing anything about robberies any more do you really think they'll care about this?

    I'm not making you into anything. Aren't you commies all about taking words literally and not inferring?

    No I didn't really think they would so I pondered and ultimately decided against it. I only ever considered 'logging' it with them. For all we know they could have a speculative surveillance on Dublin port at the moment and this could have vindicated their suspicions. But we'll never know.

    Do you have any evideence that he may have committed a crime? If so, yes. But it would have been helpful if you included this in your post.

    If not, then why they **** are you wasting everyones time?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Sounds a lot like Linda Martin. Don't worry, this is entirely normal behaviour for him.

    No idea what you're talking about. Some Russian dude knocked my door moments ago and asked if he could use my PC. Think his name was Boris...............Boris "The Blade" Yurinov, ya that's the name.

    One of the couriers we use, an eastern european lad, asked me today could he use some vd40. "Wha?" says I.

    It turns out he wanted to use some spray oil we have, on the hinges on his rear doors of his van. WD40.

    Totally read this in my head as Niko Bellic.

    Was he dressed really shabbily but driving a brand new sports car?

    I'm awake now for the day.

    This is what he looked like (the hat) and had a similar laid back but no-nonsense style http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3b/The_Wire_Vondas.jpg

    Presume AH is full of "legalise weed" folk. On an unrelated note of course.

    Few points; on foot and 8km from Dublin Port in the pissing rain at midnight looking to find, not just Dublin Port, but the "port with the containers". Second; for over two decades I have been pounding the Nutley Lane pavement so was surprised by; (1) meeting and being stopped for directions by a randomer so late at night (2) meeting a stray Eastern European (not too common outside of Tesco, particularly at that time) and (3) having met and talked to by a randomer, to be greeted by such odd questions with strange emphasis.

    By the sounds of it, you've been cast as an extra in Taken 4. There's no point ringing the Nyardee, Liam Neesons already gone.
