A load of graffiti that says something like 'RIP Anto O'Connor' and if you ask anyone who lives around the area you find out he was the biggest scald of a scumbag who terrorized everyone until some other scumbag killed him over a drug debt.

Hey, I'm from Finglas and according to CSO stats as a public servant I'm earning more than all you stuck up, nice area. private sector b@stards.

Suck it up b1tches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, but private sector workers have real jobs, contribute to the real economy, and pay your inflated wages.

If you work in admin in the public sector, you are basically a glorified social welfare recipient.

I say all of this as a public sector admin worker. The waste I see day to day is sickening.

A community center

Here's the community center out on Castle Street in Dalkey - note that it's next door to what's effectively a pound-shop and the building itself is partially surrounded by rubbish:

Nearly got cheese-knifed outside it myself one night on the way home from the wine bar.

I once saw graffiti in a scummy area that read:

"RIP BOB MARLEY 1974 - 1986"

He was around 12 when he died, apparently.

Oh, and they LOVE UB40.

That's not a pound / euro shop. 22c bags are maybe €1 in there. I might also note that there are, hilariously, hard chaws living in the cottages behind that building that think they live in 90s south central LA.

Maybe I'm making too many contributions to this thread, a bit worrying...

Getting a mass card blown up x 50 and printed as a vinyl so it can be put on your car in remembrance of Jayden Madbollix

Mass card isn't the correct name but you know what I mean.

The flying mouse

A scouse girl goes to the dole office to register for child benefit.

"How many children?" asks the welfare officer.

"Ten" replies the Scouse girl.

"Ten?" says the welfare worker.

"What are their names?"

"Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan and Nathan" she says.

"Doesn't that get confusing?"

"Naah..." says the Scouse girl, "It's great because if they're out playing in the street I just have to shout 'Nathan yer dinner's ready!' or 'Nathan go to bed now!' and they all do it"

"What if you want to speak to one individually?" says the curious welfare worker.

"That's easy," says the Scouse girl. "I just use their surnames."

Yes, you're talking about a Remembrance card.

Lads/lassies I think some of yis are getting a bit carried away here, Some of the descriptions here wouldn't be seen in the shanty towns of Soweto.

The person pictured on the card will be wearing a tracksuit.

It is still somehow the best picture ever taken of them.

Quite. He/she will probably look like an (obtuse) angle. :pac:

That's the one, except a blown up to poster size and stuck on the side of the white merc.

I've a poor quality photo somewhere on a phone, got a bit more cautious after that time I took a photo of an unexpected "Jordan's wedding carriage" parked outside the park in Limerick, turns out it was hired out by a notorious family for a communion or something, not a wedding.

There is a residents/regeneration committee headed by the 'soundest man on the estate' who is on the dole but works cash in hand for a few months of the year delivering coal for some lad who runs a fuel depot.

This guy is seen as a pillar of the community because he only has around 10 previous convictions and they are mostly for drunk and disorderly with 1 assault charge from headbutting someone in a pub carpark in an argument about a Liverpool match.

He will slowly siphon money from the committee until he is found out and he is run out of the estate when someone breaks all the windows in his council house.
