The scum in town last night

PullMyFinger!

Was it just me or did Dublin city centre look like the aftermath of an Aslan gig last night?! Seriously dodgy heads everywhere :rolleyes:

[ Daithí ]

Bah. In my estate (in Clonsilla) there were a few scum gangs around. They didn't look like local scum either. ¬_¬

Maybe all the other people are normal, and you're the dodgy one, did you ever think about that. I hate people judging others by apperance etc. Did you see anyone doing anything bad?

If they are gonna dress like filthy scum then they can expect to be seen as filthy scum.

No, if they are going to act like filthy scum, then they can expect to be seen as filthy scum.

I didnt make my point clear enough.

They were running around temple bar in what looked liked tracksuits, in gangs of 30 plus harrasing tourists when they should have stuck to their local street corners, 2 litres of Scrumpy Jack and a roide in the field.

Dublin city centre was a disgrace last night and I dont usually let such shams ruin a good night.

If they dress like that its a case of guilty until proven innocent im afraid....in my opinion anyway. I would avoid anyone who wears the 'scummer outfit'. Every single problem my friends or I have had in town has been with people dressed in that way.

Godskitchen was on in the point, thats why there was so many around

I work in the Spar shop in Clonsilla and I had to throw a few scangers out of the shop last night. Unfortunately when I ran after one of them to get back some stuff he stole, a whole load of travellers basically ransacked the shop right under my co-workers eyes :mad: ffs. Then later on someone tried to rob a bottle of wine. Finally when I was finishing work two guys out side spar were beggin' :eek:. There just seems to be no trouble for ages and then all these low-lifes seem to come out of no-where........

i saw a tracksuited Chav like person walk upto a old man (over 60) and punch him in the face, for no reason other than being on the same side of the road.

By what they look like. They might be nice people, but if it looks like a scanger, sounds like a scanger and walks like a scanger, then it's a scanger.

What on earth does that have to do with them being scumbags? I like dance music and I'm an IT consultant.

I think what he meant was the fact that the Point Depot had thousands last night for Godskitchen would go against the myth that dance music is a dead genre.

Dub13

Yea thats right....I used to love the old dance scene back in the mid to late 90s.And all you hear about these days is Dance is dead.

Tusky

Dance music isnt dead at all...its just gotten less ****e.

Less ****e? Come off it! Maniac anyone?

I wouldn't class myself as anything, a goth, a scanger, a hippy, anything like that. People may class me as a hippy simply because I like to wear slightly baggy pants or whatever. One of my best friends dresses in nothing but sports wear. He has an accent that according to some people would define him as a scumbag. I know various people from various walks of life who dress in various ways and listen to various music and talk in various accents.

It's wrong to judge people by dress, voice and taste in music. Judge only when you see their actions or know them well enough to make that judgement.

I myself like dance music amongst many other genres.

When there is no band on that interests me at Oxegen/Witnness, I find myself in the dance tent, which is filled with many different types of people.

I would like to go to Godskitchen myself.

Or you can find out the hard way, that they're scum...

Its how they carry themselves, and act towards others.

Who have? You can't say everyone who dresses in tracsuits are a threat to society.

I was walking down the road at about 8 in the evening the other day. There were 4 young men about 22-24 on the other side of the road. Dressed in what would be classed as respectful clothing, jeans, shoes and a top. They were talking loud, having a bit of banter etc. The path was being re laid with bricks and the workers had left a traffic cone on the path. They picked it up and threw it over into a garden. There was a pile of bricks, 2 of the men picked up a brick each. One whacked it at the bonnet of a car, the other threw it straight through the window.

I've heard and seen things from all kinds of people about mischief.

StupidLikeAFox

Theres a tasteful way to wear tracksuits, lotsa people wear tracksuits, that doesnt mean theyre skangers. But theres the signs. The scowl on their face, theyre loud, their glares etc etc, its just they stick out like a sore thumb. Ya can spout any of the PC crap ya want, but in fairness ill be avoiding these type of people, just in case

Yeah, these people are scum. What has it got to do with anything?

cormie

As in not everyone in tracksuits are scum and not everyone in respectable clothes are respectable.

StupidLikeAFox

well thats obvious, but in fairness, not every traveller is a troublemaker but if i was a publican id be nervous if a bunch of them came into my pub. Its the reputation skangers have, and theyre associated with that dress style. Not PC im sure, but hey, thats just the way it is

For a start, the remix of that song is 5 years old. Even so, it is a terrible example of the state of dance music.

In the last few months Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk and Vitalic have released albums. Felix Da housecat has become pretty popular recently too.

I haven't gotten my hands on the new Chems album yet, but I heard Galvanise and it didn't sound the best. Tis getting well off topic though...

There's a new Daft Punk album out??? /me rushes to Amazon to check it out.

Ah the weekly "I'm afraid to walk the streets because people in tracksuits might rape me" thread.

Banjo013

If you were in the local shop and saw a bare electrical wire hanging from the ice-cream fridge, would you grab it to see if it was live or draw it to the attention of the shop keeper ?

Personally I'd not grab it - cause it might kill me.

Same thing with these track-suit clad, Nike Air wearing, shaven headed, wild eyed, street spitting, thick accented characters. Invariably they're only skin and bone, and move around with jerky movements that just doesn't make you want to trust them. Then to top it off there's the baseball cap, pushed back on the head so that the peak is precisely parallel with the ground.

Anyway, just like the electric wire which may have the potential to kill me even though it might not, these people are guilty until proven innocent I'm afraid. Appearance is everything here, and until they show themselves to be the socially acceptable type, then they will be treated as scummers.

You obviously are leading a nice sheltered life there John because that is just stupid, you can spot these people a mile away.

It's in the swagger. I'd say a fair number of them don't get beyond their teens for one reason or other

[ Daithí ]

Clonsilla is full of scumbags. The house next door to me gets the ****e bricked out of it for no apparent reason other than it's probably a "fukin' deadly buzz loike". My goal in life is to get my Deagle and initiate the hunt next time they do it. They always hang around Spar as well, like someone said before. Just standing there.

...

What's the purpose in that? Standing there for hours on end drinking their fuxxing Dutch Gold and cider. Bah. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't so tempting to get a huge gang of people to come along and begin pointing and laughing at them, before commencing the shower of stones and pointy objects, resulting in more demented pointing and laughing.

All seriousness aside, I've never had any trouble from anyone other than a typical skanger. Well, apart from that one arse at Papa Roach in the Point, but that's one out of a hundred situations.

If only I actually had a Deagle... *sniff*

Political correctness means nothing when it comes to these creatures.

I don't if this is connected in any way to the original post but last night/this morning we had one of them doing a spiderman job up a drainpipe in our apt complex trying to get into an open window. Luckily, the owner heard the fugger and the guy almost broke his legs jumping off from the 1st floor.

id say they were all going to 100% modified

Self inflicted - I like it!

Seriously though - at least he had some drive (Breaking into someone's apt. I know) compared to the other proles that just hang around. It's like life is one big social welfare driven holiday for some of these people. It's always funny on a Thursday morning - you can tell the serious dole people by the fact that they throw a coat over their pyjamas to go down to the post office...
