I know you don’t normally do this…. but my bike was stolen from my secure balcony 3 floors up (yes three floors!!) over the weekend in Dublin. Apartment below us had the same thing happen to them too…Not sure what day as I was away for the weekend but if anyone spots someone selling a red FUJI bike (above) around town or saw somebody suspicious with a ladder on the North Circular Road during the weekend it would be a great help.

They should just change the currency in Dublin to the Bike.
your Ma would be a millionaire over night. WHA
Heh.
What’s the legal position if you found someone coming up a ladder trying to nick your bike and you pushed it back?
The Romanians don’t do legal, especially on NCR.
Why add a racist slur?
because there was no crime in ireland before dem forrrrigners came
Romanian is a race now? What happens if you’re a black Romanian? Do elaborate.
The term ‘racism’ can be applied to nationalism. It’s bigotry against someone because of what “tribe” they belong to. It says a lot about you that you see bigotry but are only motivated to attack someone referring to that bigotry as racism.
Moyes – dictionary says no.
Didn’t attack anyone – please explain what the situation would be if the person was a black Romanian. It says a lot about you that you’re willing to white-knight for some imaginary Romanian to score sweet SJW points.
At any rate, I am going to assume that the GP meant “Roma” rather than Romanian. A lazy shorthand when there are any number of scumbro groups, both foreign and domestic roaming the capital.
“Moyes – dictionary says no.”
That’s nice. Reality says yes though.

“Didn’t attack anyone – please explain what the situation would be if the person was a black Romanian. It says a lot about you that you’re willing to white-knight for some imaginary Romanian to score sweet SJW points.”
LOL. Sorry, I didn’t realise you were one of those types. My condolences.
@ The Gawm. Thank you. I did mean Roma and have been corrected on this before, by Romainan co-workers actually. I could see their frustration with this crew too as everyone gets tarred with the same brush.
This was a conversation about one street in Dublin which I know quite well and have personal experience of. Nothing more.
Sorry Moyse, what “type” am I? Continue generalising, it’s sure is entertaining seeing you expose your compromised intellect on the internets.
If I find a competing definition of “racism” on some other site (say, for instance, a stormfront-y type place), does that nullify your definition? Can we agree on the definition of “semantics”?
My condolences for your employer.
“Sorry Moyse, what “type” am I? )”
You used SJW and ‘white knighting’ in the same paragraph. I don’t need to say much more.
“it’s sure is entertaining seeing you expose your compromised intellect on the internets.”
That was gratifying to read. Thank you.
“My condolences for your employer.”
My condolences to your World of Warcraft chums you’re ignoring to write these hilariously stupid posts.
“Romanian” is mostly used erroneously to refer to Roma people. Which are an ethnic minority and yeah, that makes it racist.
Also, if I call all Nigerians lazy, is that not racist because Nigerians aren’t a race?
Idiot.
“Thank you. I did mean Roma and have been corrected on this before, by Romainan co-workers actually.”
Oh. Well that’s much better then. Perfectly ok to label roma as criminals.
Ah, “Romanians”, is it?
I could say, with as much justification, “oh, some shirt-lifters probably took it”.
It’s not racist as they are of the same race. I lived beside those friggers on NCR and never again. They would take the eye out of your head and I am pretty sure the guards in the Bridewell would agree.
I have also worked with Romanians who were first class people and also agree with me on that gang’s reputation.
I guess the point here is someone talks of something being stolen and your response is ‘Romanians’. It’s not a good look for you. It also puts your comments about brexit and immigration in a different light.
i meant that gang of Romanians on NCR. Personal experience.
“The Romanians don’t do legal, especially on NCR.”
Your use of the word ‘especially’ suggests different.
Moyest, why are you such a sh!t stirrer today? You know well that SOQ’s comment was NOT a racist comment, if you’re agitated and chewing wasps this morning, have a Camomile tea or six and douse yourself in lavender oil.
Sniping at others, as you are, is uncalled for and downright nasty.
“You know well that SOQ’s comment was NOT a racist comment,”
Are you joking? It was textbook definition racism ffs. Go lie down.
I worked in that area for a number of years; I would have thought it was more likely to be one of the home-grown crop of feral youths than a gang of marauding ‘Romanians’.
In the past yes but O’Devaney is gone. That said, there are some dodgy characters in it now who have been kicked out of council housing but nicking bikes would not be their game.
oh i see officer. Then everything is wrapped up in a neat little package.
Moyest, you obviously have problems or you wouldn’t flit around from thread to thread to see who you can pull an argument out of next.
Why not put the same effort into trying to inject a bit of humour into Broadsheet instead of being the resident poison troll?
You may be ‘happy in the misery’ but FFS keep it within.
So you’re not racist just a xenophobic pedant? Nope you’re a racist.

The correct legal position is that he fell, judge, and I was just inside having a cup of tea when I heard a blood-curdling roar followed by the crunch of flesh and bone on iron railing.
Absolutely. Cause of death…. Gravity
Gravity?
But it wasn’t gravity that killed him, it was the sudden stop!
it was an unsecured ladder that slipped
A man climbed 3 floors via balconies to rape a young woman except her brave 7 year old got help when she screamed. ( south london). Beware!!
Rather than murder, what about a loud, shrieking bike alarm? http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Moped-Cycling-Security-Sound-Loud-Bike-Alarm-Lock-Bicycle-Motorbike-110DB-/160881887870
but that cost money, murder is free
Sorry to hear about your bike – was it locked? Could have been a neighbour who realised that you were away for the weekend.
I know you don’t normally do this….
JUST STOP
+1
You were away for a week and didnt think to just bring the bike inside? especially if its worth something to you???? Also, it happened to your neighbour down below too….come on….wake up
