    Interesting theory.

    I've quite a few items from pennys. Actually I bought my ten month old son clothes from there! Are you calling my baby a scumbag?! *slaps OP with glove* Consider yourself challenged.

    So..... No. Sweeping generalisation. :)

    The title of the thread and his first post would imply this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,406 ✭✭✭✭justsomebloke


    actually champions sports would be a good idea, I can't actually remember the last time I was able to find anything useful for sports in one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,019 ✭✭✭Cool_CM


    Haha a friend of mine used to work security in Pennies, he said that something ridiculous like 20 - 25% of their stock is written off as stolen every year.
    Great shop though for cheap jocks and socks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,698 ✭✭✭Dinter


    Never seen a scumbag in Penny's clothes except pyjamas. Rest of the time it's track suits and trainers for their healthy outdoor life. Close down shops that sell food to them. End of problem.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 505 ✭✭✭briantwin


    Unique...thats where THEY shop!!! And they'd probably still be buying up the worlds stocks of Eclipse jeans if they were still available. Does anyone remember that fad? Jesus it was like East 17 had dressed the nations children!

    Tbh,anywhere that sells Celtic jersey's.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,484 ✭✭✭JIZZLORD


    champion sports has to be the worst sports shop chain. i've never seen anythig of the good there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,535 ✭✭✭Raekwon


    +1 for Champion Sports. They don't even sell decent stuff for the gym anymore because they are too busy trying to cater for scumbags vile tastes in 'bleedin rapit' tracksuits & trainers. Also that John David Sports shop opposite Jervis Street SC............that place has to be seen to believed!!!! :eek:

    No, he said that if you're a scumbag, it suggests you shop in pennies.
    He didn't say that if you shop in pennies it suggests you're a scumbag.

    I know it's hard, but if you try a bit harder I'm sure you'll get your head around it. :D

    Eh no.

    He asked what was scumbag's favourite shops that should be shut down and went on to say Penneys was number one.

    Ergo, shopping in Penneys makes you a scumbag.

    Pennies is great!
    Its one of the few clothes stores that sell plain jumpers in galway, all other clothes stores seem to sell stripey jumpers and ones with "69" written on the back or stuff like "US University" on the front. Granted, pennies sell plenty of these too

    Id be lost without the "Essentials" brand of jocks :o

    Thats just twisting logic. He did not say Everyone who shops in Penneys are scum. He said at least one scumbag shops in Penneys.

    You cant close Penneys I get plain white t's in there for tie dying.

    and other clothes if it just starts reining and I need a Jacket.


    Close stores like Cummins except when the clothes are being used for actual sports rather than to look "respectable" going to court.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,566 ✭✭✭Gillo


    The stall's on Samson's lane.

    Yeah, Champion is pretty crap, lifestyle aren't exactly far behind though either.

    JD's and Unique FTW. Bomb those stores and you'd eliminate half the skanger population instantly.

    Then go bomb the Celtic shop in the Jervis and get the rest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 505 ✭✭✭briantwin


    Champion sports. Absolutely without a doubt the Mecca to tracksuit touting scalliewags! Also i'm sure some of the larger dirtier women buy their cleaning products in atlantic homecare. These are the sows that boots just wont cater for. A facial consists of brillo pads and caustic soda!

    Yup, department stores in town are screwed. I work in Dunnes Stephens Green, it loses €10M a year, just that Dunnes. North Earl Street loses more, don't know about Henry Street. The ones in the suburbs lose a lot less.

    Shops that be closed down- No Name, 40 degrees, Fab, Unique, Catch, Japan, basically every knacker girls shop in the Ilac/Henry Street but I think I got them all.

    Leave Penneys alone.

    I wonder why nobody has mentioned all the shops selling booze...is not the alcohol one the main reasons why they are scumbags?

    No, Scumbags, are scumbags from the moment they wake up until the time they go to bed, alcohol or no alcohol.


    Don't forget, we need to close all Discount Gold Jewellers!! Anywhere that sells chunky gold necklaces, bracelets or earrings has to go! Up the revolution comrades!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,698 ✭✭✭Dinter


    Lot's of people drink booze and aren't scumbags. Nature not nurture.

    Unique ftw, mind you, what would scangers/eastern europeans wear if their 2 leather jackets for 20 quid shop was shut?

    More tracksuits!
