Churchtown...robbed twice at gun point.
Rathmines.....robbed 4 times at knife point.
Marino....robbed 4 times at gun point.

I have had more guns and knives pointed at me that some people had in WW2. More afraid of the knives than the guns.

Can't stand sudden loud noises as a result.

Although I get more nightmares about my Leaving Cert (not having the book) than I do about having a gun pointed at me.
