    Then I think you took the previous poster up wrong, because that's not even close to what he was saying

    I'm sure he could tell me that himself if that's true but thanks for your input.

    Well if you had typed something that made sense after reading his post correctly, if wouldn't have come across as you accusing parents of leaving dirty nappies in the street, which is what I took excpetion to.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    If you get that pissed off by five or six messages you're spending too much time on boards.

    Or, y'know, you could just not read them and maybe make a psoitive contribution yourself...?

    Honestly - this thread has Homer "can't someone ELSE do it?" SImpson written all over it.

    That's ironic given you got pissed off by one that you didn't get. I'd suggest sticking me on ignore, thanks.

    Lots of people are picnicking in our local park now. Generally it’s a good thing but I went to take a rest on one of the benches and wondered why there were so many flies, bees and whatever around us... looked down to see a plastic bag stuffed behind the bench, full of empty crisp packets, half eaten sandwiches and soft drink bottles. If you go to the fûcking trouble of bringing a bag FULL of food to the park, I’m sure you can summon the energy to take it away and dispose of it so that the rest of us can enjoy the park, weather and view without being stunk out of it and attacked by the wasps and bees...

    Not asking to be trusted - just to be left in peace without having to del with the constant dog**** all over the place and the foolish entitled owners imposing their dogs on me. Trust me.

    I jogged past this earlier, beautiful tree sculpture by the park I started this thread about. Some scumbags threw petrol on it and set it alight. I mean what the f*ck is wrong with people? If you must destroy a work of art at least focus on the Luke Kelly head in Sheriff st ffs.
    So many knacker scumbags in this country. We don't deserve nice things.

    It looks very deep they might be able to protect some how rather then restore?

    I swear there is someone having very poor diet travelling our road. I suspect it is someone fairly local, there is a stretch of road of about 500m without any houses and they always drop their MCDonalds (today), Supermacs, Centra, Costa wrappings together with empty box of cigarettes and some Red Bull or Lucozade. I was surprised to find an empty bag of snack nuts today. In comparison to other stuff it was almost healthy. Then you get into the woods and notice that families with little darlings were around yesterday and it seems they can't last 3km without chewing some Maoams, crisps or other rubbish. My son very guiltily picked up a Maoman wrapping thinking it could be his considering he hides wrappings of the ones he shouldn't eat into his trouser pockets. It was not because he wasn't around yesterday or on Saturday (I was and they weren't there yesterday). It is sad to see how much rubbish we and some other walkers pick up after scum.

    It gets vandalised on a regular basis as well. Small fortune has been spent cleaning and repairing it.

    Going by the pics,the turtles seem to be fairly ok as to the depth of burn.But the tentacles show alot of cracking,so no idea if they can be saved.Very sad nonetheless.

    Yeah, that's the joke. That statue is horrible though, the tree carving is beautiful and a real asset to the area.

    Suppose it depends on what you’re into. Can’t see any way that tree was an asset to anything.

    Neither should be vandalised though.

    In Raheny, Dublin, on the coast road out to Howth. As far as I know, it was a dead tree that was sculpted.

    Devastated to see the tree vandalised. I don't know why we tolerate (and actively encourage in some respects) scummy behaviour. You see it every day with the grey tracksuit brigade strutting around the place like they own it. Noone ever stands up to them.

    You're the first person I've ever come across that wasn't very impressed by it, it's a stunning work of art

    It’s well done and all, just that asset is a bit far. Maybe it is if that’s what you’re into, maybe Luke Kelly is if that’s what someone else is into but I wouldn’t be trying to be judge and jury on them all.

    beautiful buildings, artworks, parks etc in certain areas are generally considered assets to the areas.
