    Why do you have to be a nerd to use the internet? Its not the 90s anymore everyone has a laptop, Pc or phone dumbass.

    Does that mean he is an internet nerd, because he is on the internet too?

    Old house was broken into a few times when I was a kid thanks to the family of drug addicts nextdoor.

    Two different shops in the North Inner City were held up a good few times when I was working there,scariest was when a fella poured petrol everywhere and threatened to light it if we didn't give him the money,the other ones were syringes and a lad with a lump hammer.We always gave the money over.

    Was held up at knifepoint by two eastern european lads a few years ago off O'Connell Street,only had €10 and my phone on me though.

    I've no luck!!

    Myself I've been lucky so far.
    A friend got her handbag nicked in Barcelona when we were out drinking. Amazing thieves, one guy distracted her for a second while the other reached around her and got the bag. I was sitting next to her and didn't cop until a few mins later that it was gone. Fortunately it didn't have much stuff in it.
    Morale: don't trust anyone in Barcelona :(

    Barcelona & Madrid = muggings & pickpocketing.

    remember coming out of an irish bar on a stag over there and notice there was about 10 greasy looking fcukers hanging about outside, they kept walking up to the drunken folk staggering out of the pub trying to shake their hands while at the same time kneeing the back of their knee (to make your leg wobble) once off balance they were pickpocketing.

    I was mugged in London. TBH, it's a right of passage when you're in London. It's the first sign that you have truly arrived in the English capital.

    Somebody tried to break into my house a while back. We hadd cctv at the time. It showed them trying the windows at the front o the house and then trying the back patio door. Then it showed my doberman running at full speed towards them from the garage. It was very satisfying to watch them fleeing. Even more so when he got one of their arms.

    Yeah I was mugged once in Carlow at 3 o'clock in the day.

    I also saw two guys throw a broken pogo stick at one of my friends for no reason. A Large and heavy lump of metal. He was lucky that it hit the guitar on his back because it was headed for the back of his neck otherwise. Smashed a big hole in the guitar though.
    They then started puching people who walked past and said they were going to burn down the Xtra vision we were all outside.
