I work in the IFSC, and went for a cigarette with a colleague down the basement. Chatting away and next thing a boy about my age (21) just walked past us towards Amiens Street with a kitchen knife in his hand and a look of terror in his eyes! :eek:

My colleague started shaking and I asked should we call the Gardai. Someone said they're always in the area though so there should be one around but the Security Guard said he'd do it (whether he actually did or not though is another thing).

WTF?? I'm absolutely baffled?!

Not only a bread maker but also Lazarus? WTF?! Obviously still pretty fresh himself if he's wandering around down by the IFSC

Clearly the first sign the recession is even hitting those in crime.
Beforehand, he could afford a gun and plenty of ammo...

Poor lad.

Maybe he had an accident and glued the knife to his hand. The look of terror was from all the people staring at him, wide eyed........

It could've been a letter opener and he was off to the sorting office to read his mail.

Don't worry, I'm sure the guards would arrest him and ask him to spread 'em.

Edit: dang, too slow.
