Why do so many people in D1 missing legs?

    There are far more people missing legs in the D1 area, than any of the rest of the central post codes. Has anyone else living in D1 notice this?

    Also limps, shuffle, dragging one leg?

    Why is this?

    Carelessness. Forgetfulness.

    Gangrene due to improper injections I’m guessing in that case?

    I dunno if they’re junkies or not, but they tend to be rough enough looking.

    Do you think they are living in D1 or are they just there to attend one of the many methadone clinics?

    I used to live on South Circular Road, the end beside Dolphins Barn. Like you said, plenty of junkies and scaldies, but I never seen a one legged person there. Like I said, for some reason there’s an unusually high concentration of one legged people in D1

    Hard to know, they move in strange circles sometimes.

    There’s quite a large methadone clinic on Little Ship Street, none of them are one legged. Likewise, merchants quay.

    If it’s a drug related thing, then the majority of junkies already live in D1, around Railway st, Talbot, Dorset etc.

    I'm not sure why theres so many in D1 missing legs , but it's a well known fact that methadone makes your legs grow back.

    City centre is mad when you think about it.
    The Liffey does 'seperate' things. Take Parnell Street - it's a kip. But on the flip side take Grafton Street over the Liffey and that's full of up market shops. Brown Thomas and the like.

    Did you ever think about the word "scent" and wonder if the "S" or the "C" is silent.

    I once knew a man with a wooden leg named Smith.

    It's "What did he call the other one?"

    City centre apartments cost an arm and a leg. But you can pay in instalments.

    There's a discount shop on middle abbey street, right at luas stop.
    They sell crutches for 5 euro.
    I'm serious... Used to work around there. One Monday, they found 2 stiffs in lane behind Wynn's hotel... Wasn't even in the news.

    Back when I was growing up in the town there was a local character who had a missing leg replaced by a wooden one. He was nicknamed Peg Leg and was well known around all the pubs as a complete piss artist.

    Anyway one night he was bladdered and fell over on the footpath outside the pub screaming in agony 'oh my leg, my leg, help'. To which someone responded to him 'well Peg Leg, should we call an ambulance or a carpenter?'
