    Remember when the tall ships were here and the soldiers from the ships used to head into nightclubs in there uniforms and take all the women lol.

    I did hear during the 2011 festival that soldiers were doing things they weren't suppose too and got in trouble by the superiors

    Are you serious that you have never heard of that before? Someone for whatever reason knew they owed tax but got away with not paying it, then eventually got to a stage where they could afford to pay it (or were stricken by conscience) and did.

    A lot of people will say - they are mad, they should just keep quiet - but there is no knowing how something may prey on someone's mind, and they want to sort it.

    If I was in that position I'd rather donate the money to a charity than give it to the tax man. After all, the government is notorious for wasting our cash, even Alan Shatter admitted to that.

    I have met some rude people in my life but the woman i dealt with today in Hutchinson Letting Agents on the Mall was without a shadow of a doubt the most ignorant woman I have ever, ever met in my entire life. I would never ever recommend this place. I cant actually believe someone could be that rude. The only reason she hasnt been sacked is its a family business so her daddy gave her the job. Stay the hell away!

    Funny why a high profile suicide in Waterford never got a mention on boards, and was taken down off the WLRFM death notice.

    Why would a death notice be taken down, regardless the cause of death?

    Don't understand ......

    I love me some ham sambos.Twas often on a sudden whim of the senses that I would parade myself half drunk on the cobbles in town.I stood firm in a dignified posture.Spoke eloquently to the local ladies, I did indeed admonish them about the troubles of contraception and the sinful nature of wearing pants rather than the conventional dress.I ingratiated myself with the rest of the timid townsfolk.Spoke oft to a gent affectionately known as "howdo", a brave soul who sequestered himself towards the clock tower in the evening time.He'd be attentive to the parking ticket machine.Oh I sail out of port in the morning and I will take my fiery lass with me.We are going far to Dover to attack it with peg-guns.

    I see on facebook masons are doing a 3 Euro drink offer (all drinks 3 euros each) 7 days a week.

    Will be jammers when the euros start. Probly every scumbag in town will be drinking down there now. Hope it's better than the toddle (the horror stories I've heard about they place)

    Down at the blues match tonight, fair play to the supporter club lads and their attempts to create bit atmosphere however the chants f&#k the fai,f#&k John delaney, and f#&k SSE need a rethink.
    I was thinking they are some gang of mensa candidates then the shels lads started singing it to.
    What have they against the 3 enemies of United and shels? :-)

    Jesus that is bad. Is Cherrymount the councils responsibility? I always presumed that place was a private estate.
