"Hello lads, we're the Guards...", "Hello Guards, we're the lads..."

So with all this talk of rioting at the Dail and occupations at the banks, I was wondering, either in recent times or in the past, whether the fine citizens of After Hours have had any run-ins with the boys in blue?

My only run-in was when I was about 15, rebel as I was walking down the road in the blistering july heat in a leather trenchcoat - too cool for heat stroke at the time it seems :pac:. The scene looking a bit strange, an unmarked car pulled in a pulled down the window. Now, I've never had great hearing and the heat must have been messing with my mind because for some reason I got it into my head that whoever was there was asking for directions, so I walked over to the window of the car, looked in, expecting to be asked directions. Out these two plainclothes coppers jump, flashing the credentials and asking me why in the name of god I was wearing such a huge coat in the middle of July.

Then they asked if I had anything on me that I shouldn't have, which I didn't. They then asked to search me. I demanded to read the credentials, and I was given a swift slap over the head and was told to stop acting like a little bollix (to be fair, they were clearly policemen and I was just acting like a little bollix at the time). They went ahead with the search in the middle of the road, which of course turned up nothing but in the middle of it a taxi went by, and slowed down as it went past me with the taximan nearly falling out the window with a big thick head on him yelling "YOU'D THINK THEY WOULD HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO!!"

Morto!
