    Really? And this support is a sudden new thing because if this international influx of players. Get. Off .the. Stage.

    It goes back to the time when it was mostly Irish, Northern Irish, Scots and Welsh who played for those teams.

    Ah here...mostly. When was this mostly time. Irish people supporting teams because of Welsh and scots along with a couple of Irish..ridiculous notion.

    I said Dublin west. That’s enough for now. Let’s see what the landlords investigation brings before it either dies or continues on to the next stage.

    Don’t say that out loud, some people record their conversations in case there’s a perceived slight they might want to pursue. We call them normal folk.

    I think the shock of the refusal was enough for me to turn in watch and ask for an explaination of such behavior

    I like how people are responding with legal advice for a guy who just quoted the data protection act...who ordered a half pint....with a watch recording his every move....with a bulletproof alibi for any date ever.

    How is it so easy to fool people. SMH.

    Have you contacted your solicitor yet? Surely you have him scared sh1tless with recording your earlier meetings and threatening him so that he’ll call to your house immediately to discuss your issue.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,029 ✭✭✭xabi


    I hope you’re recording this thread OP, some serious suing could be had.

    Just move on, don’t go back to the bar.

    Oh, and, Allez allez allez.

    Well being out of the country most of the time is enough of a alibi. I doesn’t need much more but when I’m away my movements on location are limited to a point so it isn’t hard to prove.

    Truth? Since you were there before I’d imagine you pissed him off somehow. Do you go out of your way to annoy people? I’m getting that vibe off some of your posts. Just let it go. Pedantically obsessive people are the worst.
    On the bright side at least you have a cool watch.

    I believe he/she may be relying on the Interception of Postal Packets and Telecommunications Messages (Regulation) Act, 1993.

    Which may not be relevant to the type of recording in question.

    I’d say the mass leafleting calling him out as a bullsheffer is the way to go. Ball be in his court then to move.

    Op please upload the recording so we can judge for ourselves

    I’m starting to think that this thread is just to let everyone know that the OP has an iPhone and Apple Watch.

    I think the professionals in this area expect about one in a hundred to show any interest in this type of material. A lot of it is dispatched unread to the dustbin.

    I agree, can’t go wrong. You look like the bigger man and will definitely have them throwing money at you.
    Solid investment

    True as it’s all the same guff and it gains no traction but this is a different approach and a different point. It could well raise some talking points for people to share be it online or where every after.

    Twice the price when I got it. Be half the price again in six months as with most tech. It is excellent I must say.

    Oh of interest Would discussing your work with your other half rack people off at the bar...if said work was uk military linked / contacrtor etc..?

    Yes. On the other side of the coin however, If I were in Belfast, I wouldn't pop into The Diamond Jubilee and chew the fat about 'how this could be Mayo's year' and enquire why they don't seem to have anything by the Wolfe Tones on the jukebox. Common sense should prevail. Also note that unless your a woman or a middle aged wealthy American gent rocking a tweed cap one does not order a glass of Guinness. Or a glass of anything, in any pub EVER. Order a pint and drink half ffs. You people though, divide and conquer as they say! I'm enjoying it anyways, I'm holed up in a hotel in town at the moment and getting great entertainment from it all. I've spent most of the day in hospital, and I've to be back at ten in the morning for an x-ray. I'm getting my head examined. Given where I live it was more economical and practical to book in here for the night, have a drink, a bit of J Edgar and maybe a bit of porn.. Then I stumble across this beauty. I hate to say it but I find your crisis quite amusing. I have my drinks and my bit of dust sorted, but I haven't even picked up the remote control. No blushes for me in the morning when checking out having to pay 12 quid for premium channels haha. Nice one guv'nor!

    If people are allowed to just say stuff what is stopping me paying for the whole area to be leafleted with the story of the event and calling on them to name this date or cctv or whatever they claim it was. And prove it’s not just anti English nonsense


    And you berated another poster for having so little going on in their lives?! Entertaining the leaflet approach is going full retard, despite your exaggerated inference it's pretty much the same as the landlord's insult to you.

    .... but naming the pub is a step too far.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,261 ✭✭✭Baron Kurtz


    He was probably caught in the corner pulling the plum off himself. The glass of Guinness was the final straw though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭ghogie91


    Its not an argument you are going to win. If there was any proof that it is not you (cctv etc.) which he said he does not have, then they can turn around and just not serve you for the inconvenience of being found to be in the wrong.

    The 'ol bouncer trick of "not today/tonight" or "you have had enough" regardless of what you have or have not drank that day previous to entering the pub.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,954 ✭✭✭✭JupiterKid


    What strikes me most about the OP’s post is that he had taken his child to the pub. Now people do bring children to pubs now and then and have a meal but let’s face it a lot of drinking is done by the adults whilst the children are bored out of their minds. I’m so grateful that my parents weren’t pub goers who dragged my siblings and myself there at weekends. Didn’t stop me becoming an alcoholic though.

    A pub is no environment for a child. I remember years ago seeing a group of extremely inebriated adults in a hotel bar in Cork city whilst most their children ran amock. Two small girls were crying, asking their mammy to take them home. Is that right?
