    Strange. That's exactly how I met my wife.

    Don’t worry about it OP. He’ll be gone soon enough because you’ll be back in a cell. It’s his road now.

    Got out of the car and prayed that I never met the prick again.

    Back in the airport about a month ago. Late flight back in. Had a feed of pints in Luton Airport and was keen to get home to my leaba. Hopped into the taxi. Who was driving it only the fat fûcker. ‘Howya Bud, ‘tis you again’.

    I can't believe you actually refrained from saying your ex wife :D

    To thine own self be true

    Well if you want a guard to come to a BBQ my first piece of advice would be not to cook pig on a spit.

    I used to live beside a guard. There was this other guy on our road always seemed to be bringing nordie cars down and parking them for months in awkward/ technically illegal places on the street that made it awkward for the guard to reverse his car into his driveway. The guard said he could've wrote him a parking ticket everytime but didn't want hassle with the neighbors.

    So OP I imagine he wants a quiet life too.
    And plenty of times the wives will talk but the men don't want to socialise with the neighbors.
    Nothing personal, just don't want forced conversation.

    A college lecturer.
    Very nice smiley guy when you met him for the first time and at other times..
    He'd tell you to call him John and the next day he's say how dare you call me that it's Mr O'Brien.
    Another time a few of us skipped his lecturer and he tracked us down and said he was going to go out of his way to fail us and cause us trouble.
    He did various other things but some loved him.
    I'm 99.9% sure who his son is and he often appears on TV.

    A taxi driver that transports probably thousands of people a year remembered you a year later?

    Maybe it was a two way street, and you stood out to him above all of the other mundane passengers he ferries about on a daily basis?

    Maybe you were that one fare he hoped never to see again in his life?

    Were you being particularly aggravating/obnoxious during the first journey that made you stand out and left a lasting impression on him?

    Maybe you left a particularly throat scraping, nasal gouging fart in his car?

    Told him a long winded tale about your demon of an ex wife?

    Maybe revered him with tales of coiling a particularly foul smelling bum cigar out in the jacks of the bookies from trainspotting?

    Need more data.

    OP, unless you gave the guard a couple of thumbs or crapped in his letterbox, I wouldn't worry too much. It was his job and He won't take it personally or at least he should be man enough to differentiate job v personal life, Best to thing to do is just say it to him someday... "That was some crack we had years ago... Glad it's all behind us"

    Just a few of my former teachers from school all them years ago. Talk about awkward. I suppose it would not be so bad if you were a going out person (I am not) and seen them around a bit but when its 20 odd years and your an adult now then see the teacher that used to teach you History(was a sound teacher) or English ( was a bit of a crazy teacher) yes that can be awkward.

    My ex history teacher lives down the road from me. I see him around my area quite often.

    My ex Irish teacher goes to my gym. Really awkward seeing his white arse when you walk into the dressing room.

    I highly doubt they remember me. It was about 15 years ago since they were my teachers.

    One or two evil ex bosses who I'd have serious trouble refraining from telling to burn in hell. One in particular - luckily karma has caught up on his so badly I feel vindicated for the years of pure workplace abuse and open vicious bullying.

    OP - bad luck with your neighbour - he wants nothing to do with you or his family and you can be sure that if you were convicted eventually he will mention why.

    What kind of data, dude? Not sure what your post is about to be honest.

    If your worried a Garda remembers you then you must have done something that would warrant him not forgetting it.
    I wouldn't be bothered by it, make a point of checking his disks.
    Play this passively aggressively for the lols.

    Ease up on your criminal behaviour or else get better at it .

    You could build a Prison cell in your Garden and put yourself in there when you think that he thinks that you should be locked up again . Just to save going down the Garda Barracks again !

    Yeah I suppose so. Don't need to be his mate or anything but don't want any bother if we are neighbours. I was cutting the grass earlier on and normally I would have done the strip on his side but just left it. Just don't like the idea of him knowing this about me and maybe telling neighbours or something. I am sure he has probably checked up on me again by now.
