Im sure the guy knew you wished to thank him after but realised you were in quite a shock,Selfless acts of the brave few keep us going

.

Not much in comparision but when driving from Cobh to Cork this morning the car I was in had a sudden flat tyre and within 40seconds of pulling ina car pulled over to help us,and he even called his friend out over too...Very nice guy.

Funny you mention it was Limerick bus station OP. In my one and only time there over the summe gone by, I had to transfer buses at the station and low and behold got robbed by a knife loving knacker (€5 was "all I had on me"). Security don't take any **** there though, wasted no time in chasing after him when I told them, didn't catch him though but were keen to stay alert from then.
Limerick bus station is a hotbed for robbing scum; to argue otherwise is trolling

Typical Limerick. Oh, and yes, I've been there. I didn't feel safe until I got on the train back to Dublin. Funnily enough, I've been mugged twice in Dublin though.

superfly · 15-11-2009 11:38AM

unless they were armed with a gun you were safe in Dublin, but in Limerick tthey might actually stab you

LMAO!!!! You "didn't feel safe" in Limerick, but WEREN'T mugged, and you WERE mugged in Dublin.....and you still bull**** about "typical Limerick" ????

That post has made my day, really.......thanks! I needed a good laugh and proof that - despite the news during the week - the blinkers were still well and truly in place....... :rolleyes:

Typical Limerick tbh. I heard anyone born in Limerick gets this weird "Scum" gene they call it..

Fair play to that guy OP. We not only need more of them, we need to become more like them ourselves.

Dirty knacker was prob gonna sell your phone for 10 euros or something.

stovelid · 15-11-2009 12:58PM

I was more than glad to help OP.

You ran away before you could thank me properly so I've PM'd you my PayPal details if you want to express your gratitude in a meaningful way.

Glad you're OK!

Did it occur to you that the OP and probably the guy who helped him are most likely from Limerick? typical After Hours tbh. :rolleyes:

lol no way was it you!! that would be too coincidental!!

Diabhal Beag · 15-11-2009 01:45PM

Glad you didn't get hurt OP. I'm sure he was seriously getting security though so I would still consider him brave.

If he does read Boards fair play to him and I wish there were more people like him.

manutd · 15-11-2009 01:51PM

Good to haer OP is good health, still good people and fair play to him, we need more like them, maybe he was an off-duty Garda.

Tell ya what, next time you want to talk ****e and call me "scum", do it via PM.

Absolutely, and the fact that the guy who helped was from Limerick is an irony obviously beyond whatever location-based "gene" gives you your level of intelligence.

Limerick Train Station is seriously dodgy these days. They badly need to increase the security there and stop the junkies from hanging around inside and outside the station. Two weeks ago I made the mistake of waiting outside for a lift and I had a rather intimidiating encounter with one of those lowlifes.

There was a junkie in his twenties running around the carpark harrassing people for money. He starts walking in my direction and pulled his hood up and started shouting - "WESTON YEAH WESTON YEAH". Got right in my face demanding money and cigs. I was with my mother and he said - "Give me some money so I can inject myself right" My mother was terrified, we just told him we didn't have anything and he kept it up. I think when we didn't let on that he was intimidating us he just lost interest then so he fcuked off over to some other people.

Lesson learned - Don't hang aound Limerick Train Station!

El Siglo · 15-11-2009 02:53PM

This is the kind of police force we need nowadays. Junkies and scumbags wouldn't stand a chance!

I'd have given him TWICE as much so he could REALLY do it right!!!!

Instant end of problem.

ItsAnOmen · 15-11-2009 03:39PM

You could have teamed up with the knifeman and robbed the samaritan, split the winnings, gotta watch out for yourself these days.:)

Tongue-in-cheek is a term used to refer to humor in which a statement, or an entire fictional work, is not meant to be taken seriously, but its sarcasm is subtle.

Just great. Another good thread turned into Limerick bashing. Incidents like this happen in every city, every day in every country. The point of OP's post was to highlight that there are good people out there who'll go out of there way to help a complete stranger.

D-A-V-E · 15-11-2009 09:35PM

Im not suprised in the amount of sh!te non Limerick people post here about Limerick but it really shows how little you know about the place if you really believe how bad it is!

I hope he wasn't going to leave you with the scumbag while he got security.

That's not what I would call brave at all.

But if his initial interference helped you then I hope he reads boards and sees your "Thank You".

Ugghhh always the bad word:rolleyes:

Thank you to the person who helped me last night !
