    You could have written him a cheque.
    A traveller's cheque.

    You are a khaki coloured bombardier, it's Hiroshima that you're nearing.

    I was outside Centra after doing my groceries, waiting for the bus. I didn't get much sleep last night so was a bit drowsy and had my head down a bit.

    This person gets out of a car, I dunno the exact model but one of those "work cars", they are 2 seated with space at the back. He approached me and said "give me 50 cents". I said no and he then shouted at me "I'LL BREAK YOUR FACE". He then passed me into the shop. It was a verbal threat, plus he got real close up to me and shouted.

    I know he was a traveller because of his very thick traveller accent and his attire. (Paddy cap, etc.) What can I do?


    You could have taken down the number of his car and called the Gardai to say the driver of that vehicle was acting aggressively at such and such a place ----:):):)

    Do ye guys think I was crying or something afterwards? I showed no fear to him. I said I didn't get much sleep, had my head down and wasn't aware of my surroundings. I was only aware of him in full till he was close.

    I'm just saying should I report him for doing it?

    No one is saying you were crying afterwards just the fact that your now winging about it! He didn't hit you all he did was shout in your face, what can you do besides grow a pair! How are you so certain he was a traveller? Maybe hes just not as upper classed as you think you are and you turned your nose up to him. "groceries" just says it all! Stop discriminating and being judgemental towards people just because you think your better than them.

    Maybe he was trying to cash a travellers cheque...

    It was like the above car, but red and no windows.

    these are generally referred to as "vans"

    I believe the done thing is to round up loads of your friends and arm yourselves with slash hooks.

    You should have offerend him a bare knuckle fight for the 50 cents - winner takes all. Maybe then you'd be writing this evening to tell us how you made 50 cent today.

    Did this incident happen in Rathkeel???

    Report it to the guards, you can exagerate for effect but for gods sake make sure you tell the guards, theyve been trying to get those traveller folk for some time and will be very interested to hear your story.

    Ever notice you never hear a word from a traaaavler in front of the shops if they are on their own.

    you should have gone home to a safe place and told your parents, maybe get them to call the school principal to worn other students to be careful on the streets
