   Apologies for the poo picture, as I wasn’t watching the F**KING road!!!

      Ah hear! how the hell could they be watching the road, they were busy mixing gin and taking a picture!

         People are so quick to be the first outraged that they don’t even bother to read it right…

            I’m outraged that they don’t have a proper cocktail mixer in their car. How do you Dubs get your cars through the NCT?

               I’m outraged that its 4:41pm and no one has brought me a gin and tonic on a mountain board yet.
            2. Odis August 17, 2015 at 4:47 pm

               You can skip the mountain board, I’d settle for courtesy and a bit of cringing servility

               Oh and a nice doily.

   He is one cool dude, too cool for walking or a normal means of self-powered transportation that’s what he is!
   1. Spaghetti Hoop August 17, 2015 at 3:00 pm

      That’s how he rolls.

   It’s a mountain board.
   1. Well that's that August 17, 2015 at 3:22 pm

      ….Leeson St. is infamously mountainous. Of course he is heading right towards the Leeson Street Bridge. He’ll be on the pig’s back – no problem for him.
      1. The Old Boy August 17, 2015 at 4:06 pm

         Often have I scaled the heights of Leeson Street Bridge, making an attempt only after stopping for fortification and oxygen cylinders at Hourican’s, with my trusty sherpa guide to haul my kit up the last few gruelling feet.

   It’s all gone Nathan Barley…

   The point and laugh posts are the worst kind of posts on Broadsheet. It is always disappointing to remember they are part of the same website that has produced some excellent work.
   1. Kate August 18, 2015 at 10:29 am

      Agreed. This guy is doing his own thing, let him off.

   You absolute nosey, curtain twitching busy-bodies… If I want to manoeuvre my way through MY city, on whatever the hell contraption I bloody well like, (within the law) well then, it’s nobody’s business but mine. (Note, above pic is not me, I’m not even a hipster).

   I imagine Carlos smugly peering out from his Merc, thinking, “hey, loot at this guy, not driving a Merc, haha, who does he think he is, now where’s my camera phone”.. He probably shouted after him… “Dude, get a real car”!

      At least he can bring it into his apartment where it is slightly less likely to be nicked than other means of transport.

   It’s the 4×4 skateboard. The yummy mummies will all want one by the end of the year.
8. MT August 17, 2015 at 3:28 pm

   “Man standing out slightly brings out the c**t in locals”

   Its a motorised skateboard, not platform roller skates with fish in them, relax.
   1. Janet, I ate my avatar August 17, 2015 at 7:35 pm

      hey I thought I was the only one who could see those this morning !
   2. rory August 18, 2015 at 7:50 am

      Are motorised skateboards common in Dublin then?
9. munkifisht August 17, 2015 at 3:40 pm

   I’ll place this in the “I saw someone not eating a plate of spuds and glupping a Guinness, they must be a hipster” pile
   1. The Old Boy August 17, 2015 at 4:11 pm

      Well, someone must defend the spud-eating, Guinness-glupping way of life that is the heritage of every Irishman and woman (glass of Guinness only, may be substituted with sherry if true traditionalist.)
      1. Janet, I ate my avatar August 17, 2015 at 7:36 pm

         Or a drop of blackcurrant for the real ladieeeeezzzzs
10. Murtles August 17, 2015 at 4:21 pm

    Notice how he only appears once the Garda has driven by. As for the lad on the skateboard…..

    Let Dan explain…

       Wasn’t the whole point of Nathan Barley that Dan was also an idiot?
       1. Dόn Pídgéόní August 17, 2015 at 4:59 pm

          I thought it was more that he couldn’t get away from the idiots.
    2. rory August 17, 2015 at 6:12 pm

       And The funny thing is, you’re more than likely on the hipster spectrum if you make reference to Nathan Barley,
       which I just have. Dammit.

    the interior of the photographer’s car looks fab – an idea what it is?
    1. Odis August 17, 2015 at 4:44 pm

       Looks like Beamer door lock yokes.
13. Supercrazyprices August 17, 2015 at 5:03 pm

    Attention seeker.
14. rory August 17, 2015 at 6:08 pm

    From what I’ve seen on YouTube it looks bigger than your typical mountain board.
    1. rory August 17, 2015 at 6:13 pm

       It looks quite cumbersome.
       1. Peter81 August 17, 2015 at 6:28 pm

          *you* look quite cumbersome
          Psych!
          1. rory August 17, 2015 at 9:04 pm

             The internet adds ten pounds.
15. topsy August 17, 2015 at 8:36 pm

    Hope you weren’t driving.
