Therein lies the problem. Most dog owners are responsible and there aren't enough wardens to police those who are not.

Alsatians and bulldogs are on the dangerous breed list and should not be off leash. They are supposed to be muzzled. An alsatian running up to a kid (even if it's just a puppy and wanting to play) is like a lion running up to an adult - you're going to have a heart attack.

The owner had the muzzle in his hand the first time I saw them.

The alsation was wearing the muzzle the second time. It wasn't a puppy, full sized dog.

Even wearing the muzzle the dog can do damage by simply knocking a child over or even an elderly person over.

I'd say about 80-90 % of the dogs were off their leads in the park today. The park was really busy today too.

Was it St Anne's Park?? My little fellah got knocked off his bike by trying to avoid dogs running wild dogs off their leash this morning.
Not even an apology from the owners of the dog or an attempt to help him up but tbf the kid didn't worry too much about it as it is normal in our local park.

I would say 70-80% so you are correct with 'most' but a substantial percentage are arseholes.

Bear in mind an average size dog to a 3 year old is similar in size to an average size horse to an adult. Horses don't tend to drool on you and jump up on you though. If I had a 6 foot beast trot over to me and try and lick me I would be a little bit disagreeable too.

And to the person who tried to say small dogs are worse - well they're not. Small dogs don't intimidate like bigger dogs do. And generally speaking people do not let vicious dogs run wild.

ah lads, come on now. TA'd by all of these parents and their precious offspring. I remember being a child and somehow not being scarred for life by giant wolf-dogs :pac: Dogs should be allowed to roam free, put the children on a lead for the love of god :P

I've a nice semi circular scar on the back of my thigh which I got from a horrible mutt when delivering the Northside People at age 10. Probably deserved it tbf

My father and his sister my Aunt are close, her being his little sibling he’s always looking out for her, she’s the apple of his eye... she works for a homeless charity in the city and as well as a financial donation every year he’s regularly giving donations of clothes and reminding all the rest of the family to put clothes ‘we don’t want’ and stuff in bags... except recently he’s constantly like every other week on the ask....I gave a shît load of stuff as in bagfuls this year, twice...

I lost the head with him the other evening when he visited again, looking for more stuff, he was after jackets in particular with it being winter and I had just bought a new jacket (a winter one) he’s trying to walk out the door with another one (Nudie), ironically a summer jacket I’d bought last year and the only raincoat I own (FCUK) having given him the other for the charity earlier this year... worth about €200 in total...

I took back my raincoat but gave the jacket out of *right just take it and leave my stuff alone pleaseeeeeeee sort of moment.... which I’m regretting, it was a really nice jacket, good quality which I spent maybe 120 squid on and I don’t really have another ‘light’ casual summer jacket.....

I’d like to continue to ‘give what I can’ but I’d rather take my money to primark and buy three good, functional jackets to donate rather then becoming harassed and hen pecked into giving away my own hand picked stuff every time he insists on trying to plunder my press, again... aghhhhhhh

I got a BT voucher for Christmas.
Even with the sale on, I can't see anything online that I like that I can actually afford.

crybaby · 30-12-2019 03:33AM

People who give vouchers as presents, you are basically making someone else do your present shopping for you.

Makeup or perfume?

My TA is my body clock immediately shifting back to night owl mode when I'm off work, the return to the daily grind will be tortuous.

ChunkyLover54 · 30-12-2019 04:19AM

When you're walking along a path or quiet road and coming the opposite direction are a bunch of lads kicking and passing a ball to one another as they go.

I always found this unnerving for whatever reason, even in the days when soccer/football was firmly in the ascendancy. Now the rise of of rugby means alot of them are kicking around an oval-shaped ball and I always think it's going to take a quare bounce and fly straight into my face. Trivial indeed

A customer in the chipper plonking his child up on the counter right next to the sign that reads "For safety and hygiene reasons, children are NOT allowed to sit on the counter".

Leg, thanks maybe perfume is a good idea, hasn't thought of it.
Yes, my body clock is gone wild too. I'm not back to work for another few days and here I am at 4am awake pottering on what should be a school night.

I'm not a grammar nazi at all but there is one thing that annoys me and I see it a lot, particularly on social media from bloggers etc, when people use an apostrophe for plurals!
'The boy's are going out tonight'. Please, no more.

Would you not just have a word with your aunt and politely but firmly tell her to back the fook off? She's using your Dad to hit the family up for donations which sounds like she's under pressure to deliver a set amount of donations. That would seriously hack me off if I was constantly being asked to donate things. It's really out of order to keep asking her family to give and it's not fair to put your dad in that position, she sounds very selfish. Saying no, I've given enough doesn't make you a bad person.

I think that all dogs are supposed to be under the control of their owner and that includes being on a leash in public/pedestrianised places. You seem to think that your dogs are an exception to this rule. Where would this end if every dog owner thought the way you do.

I live near a popular dog walking area and I hate seeing people let their dogs off leash for a run before they get to a secure area. As soon as they reach a certain spot the leash comes off and the dogs tear off. The owners don't care that there are lots of kids in the area or lots of other pets out and about.

The Gardai have to be one off the most useless shower ever because I was driving to work this morning and they were standing at all of the traffic lights. One of them actually stopped a cyclist and gave out to him for wearing ear phones.

Seriously there is open drug dealing, assault and murders happening in the capital yet these eejits would rather stop somebody for wearing ****ing earphones.

When someone puts their little weekend case in the baggage area of the airport shuttle bus and I have to stand with my larger suitcase in case it rolls away.

The very one!!

Now st Anne's has a rule that dogs are allowed off their leash until 11am and then again in the final hour before closing.

If you want your fur babies running wild please use the park during those times otherwise keep them on a lead.

I really hate the attitude that rules don't apply to me, therefore I'll do what pleases me, feck everyone else.

It's not about me being a "precious " parent. It's about recognising that the park is an amenity to be shared by all. I don't let my children run up and back to other people as I know that's annoying especially if you are trying to have abit of peace.

Those fcuking lights on cars, down beside the front fogs that individually come on when the car is making even the slightest of turns, pointless and very irritating &#55357;&#56864;

Then when the same cyclist is squashed by a car/truck the bicycle lobby are up in arms about drivers not having due consideration!
The guard was doing the guy a favour!

If the cyclist is squashed it's his or her own doing. What he/she were doing was not illegal. The guards are never around whenever something serious as an assault is reported.

But go ahead and keep up the bootlicking.

Bredabe · 30-12-2019 01:32PM

A phone call early this am from one of my sibs, asking me to txt our nephew who was at my cousins* funeral, to remind him to leave bro's mass card.
A card he had forgotten to give when he was at the removal himself yesterday.

So many ta's, 1. Calls me when they would have already arrived at the church 2. Feck off and call him yourself, your phone is clearly working 3. If your that bothered, make sure(like the rest of us) to place the card yoself!

* cousin in name only, I've not seen him since his christening and he was in his 40's.

These same people who look down on minimum wage workers would be the first to b!tch and moan about dole scroungers.

You seem confused about the law. Dogs are allowed to be off leash in public/pedestrianised places if they are under the control of their owner. My dogs are not an exception to this rule. I've seen owners walk with their dogs off leash on the footpath. I've even seen people cycling and their dog follows. I wouldn't do this with mine because I wouldn't trust them not to run onto the road if they saw something that got their attention.

You seem hell bent on painting me as a bad owner because of one instance where someone else was the irresponsible one. Why can't you just accept the dogs were doing no harm and the person driving on a pedestrianised street was the one in the wrong?

This is like the stingy thread where someone posts a story and it leads to pages of debate on who was right or wrong :pac: I'm going to stop now because nothing I say will change your mind and it's getting boring.

I hate when I'm about to eat an apple and I twist the stalk off but it breaks midway instead of at the end and now it's too small to grip and it's all jagged and sticking into my thumb when I'm eating the apple.
Very annoyancy causing so it is.

sunnysoutheast · 30-12-2019 06:47PM

Lovely walk on the beach earlier. Quite a few dogs, most on leads, some walking free but all pretty well behaved.

Apart from.......of course "that guy" had to be there with his yappy little runt running totally out of control with the owner shouting ineffectually for it to behave.

retro:electro · 30-12-2019 07:17PM

Last night I feel asleep with a strepsil in my mouth. I can’t breathe through my nose at the mo so I awoke a few hours later with the driest mouth ever and the strepsil completely stuck to the roof of my mouth. I literally had to peel it off and it wasn’t the most pleasant feeling. Still, better than choking to death on it, I suppose.
