Guards in my town

That's great stuff altogether. I'd love a lift home some nights, often think the guards would be perfect to ask.

Clonmel isn't a bad place

It's no Tipp Town, now there's a rough spot, the worst in the county
Maybe we can give it to Limerick

Clonmel is a bad place. it's just not widely known, as much as Tipp Town or Limerick.

Op if your username reflects your age then i'm going to assume you're a virgin/cool dude who hates the powwwlice?! You will discover in life that taxi drivers know EVERYTHING. Every taxi i get consists of a driver who 'could have been James Bond' and whose sharp economic mind would get us out of any recession with a click of the fingers. Grow up like a good lad

I am not going on the word of the Taxi driver, he merely reminded me of the shenanigans. This is something the Guards are known to be doing here for a long time now. You could almost say it's common knowledge throughout the town.

So get down of your high horse before you fall. You could get a bad injury from those heights.

Two Gardaí were called in to a pub in Arklow due to a fight, and as the fight had dissipated before they arrived, they decided to get involved with the karaoke and sang a great rendition of "Don't Stop Me Now".

Did it occur to you the taxi driver was just pissed of because he missed out on a fare. How many garda cars are in the town every night?

As said already, I'm not going on just the word of the taxi driver. He merely reminded and highlighted something that I already knew was going on.

Seriously don't believe all the crap you hear about the guards. It's usually from people who have an issue with them.

C-J · 03-09-2011 10:56PM

Aw don't worry i'm sure one of those lovely drunken girls will pop your cherry soon. Or one of the guards you're fantasising over

A great bunch of lads!

Aye now Tipp town is a mighty hole, just drive straight thru that place all together

Clonmel isint that awful the ratio of nice people to scum is very small but it only takes a few people to tarnish the name of a place! Im lucky to be living in a nice part . Ya can debate weather they're good at their work or not, theres not a whole lot of em and are constintly dealing with sh!t off the same people the whole time, probably fed up because the law system isint keeping the scobes out for long enough.
Was getting paperwork stamped in there once and a local lad whos known for trouble walked in and acted like he was freinds with em, knew there names, they knew his. Thats how often they were dealing with him, plenty like him aswell.

Oh how i worry for the future of this country! Can i remind you that you are making accusations against the police in a public forum from which your personal details are very easily obtained?? In the meantime I'd suggest you go confront the guards with these allegations i'm sure they'd love to see you coming!

Cheers,any chance of a lift down to the station so I can make the statement?

It sounds like your just sore that you had to pay for a taxi home on your own after failing to pull on a night out...so you partook in the national past time of blaming the guards for your failures.

And as for your ridiculous comment about someone possibly getting stabbed....well someone could get stabbed in the area where they were going to and they'd be on it within seconds rather than having to hang around the town baby sitting all the drunken idiots who arent capable of going out for a night, having a few drinks and leaving again in a civilised manner....but sure thats probably the guards fault too.

If so have ye still got the FREE THE WEED posters up in the upstairs interview room, I thought it was fair ironic to see but I reckon ******* himself probably put it up, Ha Ha.

No we have replaced them with your arrest sheet. Covers all the walls in the interview room like wallpaper makes interesting reading especially the indecent exposure caution.:p

PS I am not a member of An Garda Siochana.

Ha Ha I love the last bit about indecent exposure, I was being strip searched in an inappropriate location by the small hall that connects the cells/backdoor stairs and public office there over ten years ago and I was completely naked and a BanGarda opened one of the three doors and copped an eyeful, Sure we're all adults and anyway it wasnt my fault, We all just laughed, Fairly sound BanGarda too. At the same time I could hear a lad I knew being spoken to about a stolen keg outside cell 1 and he saying it was up in the Holla.

:eek: Too much information.:p

RMD · 03-09-2011 11:53PM

Never heard of this happening. Sounds more like a rumour spread by some person with a dislike to the Garda. Then again, I'd say it's much easier to get away with that down the country.

If this was as common spread as you make it sound, I'd be sure some idiot would have made allegations of rape by now.

You'd get one for a couple of Bucks.

up for anything · 04-09-2011 12:05AM

It is a fairly common occurrence in KK town. Leaving a scantily dressed girl who is too drunk to remember her own name and can barely walk, to try and make her own way home if she can remember where home is, is leaving a crime waiting to happen. Somebody has got to see them safely home and better the Gardai than an opportunistic stranger(s). They should all have a hefty fine slapped on them though which might put a stop to their binge drinking for a couple of months and make them think twice the next time before they get so shitfaced.

A taxi driver told you this?

Do you think a taxi driver is an unbiased party in making such criticisms? I've been in the back of cabs driven by too many taxi men convinced that the whole world and his mother was out to sabotage their career to actually swallow this version of the story wholesale.

If a Garda patrol see a young woman walking home, drunk, at night time, in a quiet or dangerous location, then in the absence of any taxi on the scene, they are absolutely correct to take her home imo. For all that taxi man knows they could be issuing these women with fixed charge penalty notices for being intoxicated under public order legislation, or at the very least warning her or her family that they don't want to see a repeat of that sort of activity.

You can be pretty sure the taxi driver you spoke to is seeing this from a biased perspective.

policarp · 04-09-2011 06:30AM

Do the Gardai have a charge for cleaning up puke like the taxi drivers have?

LeeHoffmann · 04-09-2011 10:13AM

Two Gardai followed myself and the OH home the other night. They must have been bored because (I think) we looked like 2 normal people in a normal car and it wasn't even that late. In any case, they followed us into the apartment block's underground car park. There's a gate that only opens with a fob so we knew they were going to get stuck. Got out of the car and tried to make eye contact with them to let them know we'll help them leave but they pretended not to see us. We went up to the apartment and gave them a few minutes to stew in it. Ten minutes later we went down and let them out. Needless to say they were a little red-faced. If guards have time for that kind of craic, I could definitely imagine them giving lifts home. However, we live in a small town - not the city - and there isn't a murder going on every minute of the day :rolleyes:

You need the fob to get out, no key pad inside to open the gate.

You really expect anyone to believe this tale,if it is true I hope you have all your documents in order.
How do you know they were following you?

Some strange overly-paranoid people on AH. No there's no key pad - there is a key pad to get to the stairs leading to the apartments but again they wouldn't have the code. I assume they were following us because we were the only car on the road and they swung in behind us and er...followed us into the building. They also had nothing to do in there and got stuck trying to leave.

ya what ever, what was the conversation when you decided to let them go ?

LeeHoffmann · 04-09-2011 10:55AM

Why the attitude?

There wasn't much conversation - just what you'd expect - asking are they trying to leave, explanation about the fob etc. They seemed relieved to be let out

Don't worry pal, there's always posters on Boards that have nothing better to do than try and take pot shots at people for the silliest of reasons.
