    Spent much of youth in Clones. The place used to bustling.

    Went back recently and I couldn't believe what I seen. Boarded up shops and pubs and the place looked like a ghost town.

    So in answer to your question, OP... I'd say there's a good chance a zombie eat it thinking it was real.

    Stealing and probably destroying the property of a disabled person trying to make the best of life just for the sake of it.

    Utterly mindless. I hope they give it back and the athlete makes the meet in Berlin next week.

    Sadly it's what a great many people see as their role in Irish society these days.

    I see it...I want it...I take it.

    I am entitled to it.

    It would be interesting to see if the individual concerned in this theft can man up to it and accept responsibility for his/her fecklessness....but I doubt it.

    Utterly Mindless it sure is,but that presupposes having a functioning Mind to begin with ?


    Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

    I don't understand how someone could do this. It is absolutely horrible.

    I hope the guy gets his leg back and can compete in the competition.

    I thought this was going to be about somebody running for the last 39 to Ballycoolin...

    He is considering leaving the sport
    hopefully he won't and runs the race of his life to show that the soul is stronger than the thief
