Scangers

Pepe LeFrits

Scangers / Skangers (sp?). God i hate them. Some of them are harmless but its the right scumbag varieties that i can't fucking stand. Scum of the earth, they better hope i never become a dictator because if i did i would exterminate them off the face of the planet like vermin.

They are like a plague on Dublin, and a cure is needed. They are fking EVERYWHERE. I was on a bus today and there was a group of scum at the back of the bus, there were two lads and a girl up at the front of the bus having an intelligent conversation about Russia/China and were constantly abused with "AHH YE FUCKIN FAGGOTS", "DO YE WANT ME MICKEY IN UR MOUTH YE ****" etc for no reason. I wanted to line their scumbag heads with a few shotgun cartridges so badly.

I wonder will they ever just fuck off? Or is emigration the only answer to get away from them ?

Grrr

Oh yea, and i may not be exactly a fashion designer... But WTF is the story with their dress sense? Do they actually think that flecky tracksuits, baseball caps and bright white cheapo runners actually look GOOD?

Makaveli

Most of them are all talk.
Stand up to them and they will change their tune quick.
Acting hard, pathetic.
I mean a lot of them come from so called "nice areas" they just think they're tough.
If you have a moped and wear a baseball cap on the back of your head so not to mess your fringe and have a dirty looking haircut you can be a skanger too.
Throw in a couple of rings and tracksuits and you're it.
Idiots, they arent worth the effort to rant about.
Dirty nackers.

I think they should force them all to live inside a 'scanger zone' where they would only have each other to rob and kill. It would be out in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by barbed wire. Any escapees would be shot.

Think of it as Tallaght for the next generation!

DiscoStu

Not much that can be done until someone developes a targeted virus to kill them off. I doubt it would be that hard though as they as seem to be inbred.

Simply use cheap gold jewelery and hoop-earings as the carrier for your virus. I think you'll find it'll have 100% accurate targeting on both sexes.

Often wonder that myself, it must be the inbred idiot-gene kicking in and they can't realise how disgusting they look. I mean, some of the girls actually make you physically ill when you look at them. Hideous.

It would appear that the more vertical your cap is, the more rings on your fingers and the longer your fringe, the higher in the social chain you are.

And I'm VERY sorry to say that this also seems to be universal and transcend national boundaries.

It's the same in Scotland too - where they're called "neds". Cap at 45 degree angle to forehead, lots of "gold" /ahem/, tracksuit, etc.

Excuse me i live in tallaght and i am sick to death of the descrimination i recieve from others over my place of residence. Yes tallaght has a few bad apples and certain social problems which is mainly due to lack of social investment from the local authorities. Our situation is often exageratted by newspapers and rumours circulating around the place. There are maybe one or two areas which i would prefer to avoid in the Dublin 24 suberb. People do not dismiss the whole of New york over the Bronx or Harlem or L.A with compton for that matter. Tallaght may not be perfect but it is not a "Dump" or a "scanger central".

Complaining about them on the internet isn't going to help/change anything.. do something about it if it concerns you that much

thedrowner

i love it when they wear really big curtain hoop style earings that reach their shoulders (im not joking!!!!!!).

Get used to it fisifan, I always see people trying to bad mouth it, its usually the people who think they're upper class or something because there area's arn't so bad mouthed, I find no problem whats so ever living in tallaght, people are scared ****less to walk through it at night because of what they heard, but its like every area, it all depends on who yea know, you know the people in the area, you won't get touched simple as that.
usually though I find the attempt scangers from foxrock, blackrock are the worst, little mammys boys, they act so hard and try to be comman an all that by thinking they're the **** smokin hash on a bus or something, god I love when they get checky wit yea so yea have a decent nuff reason to crack their face open for being such a ****ing asshole. Its *those* type of people that're the worst type

MrJoeSoap

Me and my friend have been having this discussion since he came home from America after a holiday, and have agreed that Scangers are the reason that this country is such an undesirable place to live. Its not the high cost of living, because no one would have a problem with paying high prices if they could walk down the road without being abused (either verbally or phyisically) by a bunch of peaked capped half-wits who seem to think its cool to terrorise old men and women. A friend of my dads was telling him the story of how his blind friend was walking through a secluded area with his guide dog when two youths came up to him, stole his wallet, and proceeded to bark in his ears. Why? For a laugh. Thats why I'll be leaving this country as soon as I can.

They were criminals, don't associate every person that commits a crime is a "scanger" they're some crazy people out there.

Yes yes, they were the ones I was reffering to in my post.
Shout boo and they'll run though.
Anybody can act the tough man when they're in a group of 10. :rolleyes:

BuffyBot

Unfortunately they've become a bit of a universal constant. No matter where you go, there they are.

There are areas which have more then others, and Dublin has it's high concentration in certain suburbs - doesn't make them bad places though. For every single skanger theres a decent person about.

Yeah, these people are all mouth most of the time, but there is quite a few nutters who would do something. I just generally avoid them at all costs

Oh yeah they do that **** because they have no facilities.

Excuse me while I go get my violin:rolleyes:

seamus

K lads, Tallaght is just another place. Plenty of my mates live there, and it's not even half as bad as people say. Of course, there are *some* bad areas, but no more than other places have. I think it's just the speed with which it's grown is why people always complain about it.

Anyway, haven't got time now. Needless to say, any more posts of the "Tallaght is all scum/Blackrock is all posh" variety will be removed without warning. And I'll probably go on a little editing spree tomorrow in college. Or maybe Dusty will do it for me

I agree, people seem to forget Tallaght is one of the biggest estates in Europe, with that many people and bad planning on the part of those who developed the area you're bound to get a percentage of knackers in a place that big.

I think parts of Finglas are a lot dodgier than Tallaght, and even Blanchardstown (where I work) is getting REALLY bad, there's places here that are far worse than the more notorious estates in Tallaght.

The Saint

I reckon at birth all scumbags should be sterilised. That'll sort the dirty feckers out.

Cake Fiend

Oh yes, of course, you're going to know at the moment of birth whether they're going to grow up to be scumbags or not :rolleyes:

PiE

Judging by the parents it'd be quite possible. Though, unfortunately, impractical ;\

Everybody who's lived in an area for a long time always says that it's not as bad as everyone thinks. Sure I say that about town and we all know it is that bad ;]

Oeneus

Oh now come one! Wicklow just completely beats Tallaght and Dublin in terms of Knackerness.

And in reply to the comment that there is a nice person for every skanger...So untrue! Don't get me wrong...Ireland has a large share of nice people, but they are way outnumbered.

And the comment about skangers being everywhere...also not true. Take Dundrum for example. Nice little town with nice people. Like someone said...Criminals and Skangers are 2 different things (although the blind man mugging thing...they were skangers. They were barking at him FFS. What kind of a human/criminal, that isn't a knacker, barks?).

Wales doesn't appear to have too much skangers. They have what they call townies. Which are basically people who like dance music, and think they rank higher than people who like Rock music, because it's trendy etc. Then of course are the criminals...who can be from either group!

lordsippa

ARGH! I dunno... scangers are damn annoying but they are much more tolerable if you learn to realise how pathetic their futures are and just laugh when they insult you. <spits!> idiots.

In fairness, tallaght isn't too bad and I WAS dragged down a street and had my head smashed into a wall there when i was 8... but... i dunno... was a once off thing and BOY that guy got in shít... hehe...

Most of them arent real skangers though.
They just drive around in moped gangs.

Winters

God i really do hate them.




Its there whole attitude that i dislike. The way the way have to
a) walk
b) talk
c) act

that really annoyes me. If you could lock them all up....or make a sort of "happy scanger jail" where they could all go and beat the sh1t into each other i would be happier.

Though there are people who want to be scangers and people who are scangers.....make sure you get the real scangers in the "happy jail"

(I will make a better post once i am of a sane state of mind)

i think its about time to take the "law" into our own hands

thats why i am offering to loan the SMAT logo for the cause, just edit it to Scanger Muppet Attack Team

Get da Scangers

a word from a Leading Scanger

Nevyn

simply done round them all up when they go to buy the sun, the hair gel or thier jhonny blue and into the army they go for boot camp. do we need national service or a sort sometimes i think we do.

They seem to range from dundalk down into blanch/finglas/ballymun/baldoyle/cabra and thats just the northside

Yup, agreed. I started working in dundrum 7 months ago, I expected it would be a "nice area". Not at all. The surrounding areas have much less scum, but dundrum is full of it. Plenty of people buying dutch at lunchtime, or before lunch.

Now count up your mark and check below to see your scanger rating.


0-5 Posh bastard. Your parents are probably Nobility and you probably went to Belvo, Clongos or Blackrock. You play Rugby and detest soccer. You were probably bullied as a youngster by a scanger and have hated them ever since. You don't mix with the working class but you secretly wish you had a Barry McGuigan moustache and crave the sex appeal and charm of a roguish Northsider.



6-10 Mommy's little baby. You're just a loser who knows nothing but Oscar Wilde and Boyzone. You refuse to believe Stephen Gately is from Sherriff Street and you probably have homosexual tendencies. Sooner or later a scanger is going to shove a seringe up your arse. You prick.


11-15 Streetwise enough to know not to answer 'No' when a scanger asks you if you want a batin'. You've probably had a few run ins with scangers but can speak the lingo to get you out of trouble. You've probably been mates with Bierno at one stage or another but your friendship ended when you started working on Grafton Street.



16-20 You probably have an O at the end of your name. You scanger wannabe. You come from a posh background but act hard around your semi scanger mates who only tolerate you because your dad owns a Cider company. Every so often the leader of your gang beats you up and steals your Stonehouse cider, which you didn't want to drink because you prefer a good chardanay. Fudgepacker.



21-25 You are skilled in the ways of the scanger but try hard to be a failure. You turn up early on Dole Day and try to keep up with your Best Mate Bierno at drinking Stonehouse. You do Heroine the odd time but only because Bierno tells you to. Your 14 year old girlfriend is pregnant but you don't know whether to kick her in the stomach or give her money for an abortion. Your future as Bierno's right hand man depends on how you deal with this situation. Well done, you should be proud of yourself.



26-30 The ultimate scanger. You've never ventured south of the Liffey because you believe you'll fall off the edge of the world. You have a vocabulary of under twenty words which includes 'wha', 'shoi' and 'Ballix'. You have more children than a tinker not to mention A.I.D.S ,syphilis and a seven foot codger. Ever finger has a sovereign ring one which has the name 'BIERNO' on it. You're hair has never grown more than 1mm and you have an earring in your left ear. Air Max and Man U jerseys are all you wear, no need to mention you nicked them, along with that mobile phone. You drink cider by the bucketload and use you ciderbelly to bate straying Southsiders. You could have played for Ireland but you rode Jackie's 12 year old daughter. Your only day of work is when you drag yourself down to the dole office on a thursday. But you're comforted to know that although your an ugly, flea ridden **** you'll have a bird better looking than Britney or even Catwoman.




WHA?

ME BALLIX!!

Just make sure not to laugh within earshot as I did one night in tallaght, after they said something like "uhh get a haircut you hippy" the usual witty remark. I laughed and as i walked on down the road half a brick sailed by my ear and I bravely ran away only to be be outpaced (damn their nike air max) by the cider-drinking psychopaths and I was lucky not to have my brains kicked out.

Another scanger related incident in tallaght was when one spat in my face from a passing car window as I was cycling through tallaght village. Their sense of humour is sophisticated beyond belief.

In fairness Tallaght is a dunghole. But its ok if you can camoflauge yourself to look like a member of one of the tallaght scanger tribes.

Turnip

Our ridiculous social welfare system practically forces these scum to breed and multiply like rats. That's what they are. Verminous violent disgusting parasites. Makes me laugh when I hear them complaining about their "entitlement" to corporation housing. While normal people struggle to get a mortgage and get on the property ladder, these specimens of human de-evolution expect free everything. We need a flood of cheap toxic heroin to act as a modern plague.

Prundic

This 'SCANGER' revolution IS SPREADING.People here in Wicklow(Wickla')are most definitely catching on to the idea.Groups of 12-16 year old 'boys and girls',huddled in dark allyways or laneways sipping their cans of Budweiser hurling abuse at innocent people passing by after maybe 2 cans of their favourite Ale.Sad really,most of them don't know any better.

metalish

Drowner u were saying bout the big earings- i was on the bus coming home from college and these girls come on and sit at the top of the bus at back, one of the girls had so much makeup on her it was naerly falling off, and i swear to god she had these massive ring earings that did actually go down to her shoulder, i really just wanted to stand up go over to her and rip the thing out of her ear. And the ones that hang round temple bar or to get people to think that they are rockers etc. i wanna hurt them very bad.

STaN

Shweeeaaaaaaaarrrrr

If you dont want to be near scangers, dont go to "gigi's", previously the vactican.

U get the usual comments:

- Hey j00, what do ye think of meh bird
- She's alright
- Hey, wanna score her?
- Nah m8, ive a gf
- Why won't ye score her? U said she was good looking, why wont ye?
- M8, really ive a gf, i cant
- Wtf, u calling her ugly?
- Right ill score her
-- Go score his bird
-- Come back
- Wtf u doing kissing my bird fag0t

HOW DARE YOU!!. I used to have long hair and i was never harrased in tallaght over it. I was walking through knocklyon one day.(i dont mean any disrespect to people from that particular area) but i was called a smelly rocker for wearing a foo fighters tee shirt. Foo fighters aren`t even a heavy metal band. what im saying is that scangers are prevalent EVERYWHERE and that you shouldn`t associate certain types of people with certain areas of dublin. Well i suppose you can retire to your leafy affluent dublin suburb thinking you are better than everyone else.

"me an' de lads r goin' off for a madz fookah sesha!!!"

There are young fellas in every counrty in the world exactly the same as the "scangers in Dublin" i think they're cool with the tracksuits and gold and what have you they are so funny, there only young fellas having a laugh, i've no problem with that. i get the p.iss ripped outta me by them for having longish hair and the clothes i wear.

i think people who have a big problem with scangers should be glad that the scangers here dont really dont do anything - if this were somewhere like Hamburg they could be neo-nazis or russians or turkish gangs beating the shi.t outta eachother and everyone else with loadsa gang murders etc.

long live our mild mannered scangers!!

I'm pretty sure if they had access to weapons, they'd use them. They're not harmless morons, some of them are downright sadistic.

Funny... just picturing 'Johnno' looking in the mirror before he leaves the 'gaff' - "ah yeh, dah looks deeeadly"
I don't mind skangers as long as they don't talk to me or touch me, or look at me for any extended period of time.

And how come they never have their own bloody smokes?!
Pet hate: Some skanger that's a few years younger than you, addressing you as 'youngfla'... grraarrgh, you'll never get a smoke off me now 'bud'.

DiscoStu

okay we've established that they are smelly, stupid, sadistic f*cks who if had access to weapons there would be mass killings going on and that they are everywhere. in addition they are chronic 40 a day smokers but have never bought a packet of smokes in their entire life and finally have no comprehension of the concept of age.

right, now we must work out
1. why they exist.
2. how have they have not beat each other in extinction.
and most pressing
3. how the hell do we kill them?

Genetics.
You see, they all have what is known as the "scauldy" gene.
At this very moment in time, scientists across the globe are working on a virus that will affect only those with said gene, and eliminate them.
So that covers question 3 too.
As for question 2, I dunno, they reproduce at such high rates (comparable to rabbits) that perhaps they are kicking each other to death but we dont notice because birth rate is higher than death rate.

Hrm, maybe Slobodan Milosevic would be available for some freelance genocide?
That's going a bit far there in fairness... they're just normal people who act/speak/dress a certain way because their friends/family are like that, and that's normal to them.
They're not all loud, smelly, aggressive people, but I suppose we're talking here about the ones that are.
I'd reccomend a lengthy TV campaign, sort of like those anti-smoking adds... and instead of that guy Nico, they'd have Johnno.
"Hi, I'm Johnno. I'm here to tell you about my new scanger perfume spray and free hoopy earrings"
