There’s a great photo of a Darwin Award contender on the front page of the IT who was walking on Dalkey Pier during Storm Brendan.
Obviously the family brain cell was rented out at the time.

Was it Coliemore harbour? Didn’t catch the pic meself.

It was Coliemore Harbour with two photos in sequence; I imagine the unidentified individual must be mortified today – I hope he was ok though.

Caroline. No.
Will Big Ben bong?
The sound will reverberate around your empty little baling twine head anyway
GiggidyGoo
Ah, Caroline. The babyish gurglings aren’t making sense yet. There there there. It’ll be alright. The big bad clock won’t do you any harm.
Go back to sleep and wake up with a new name.
Day day
Caroline. No.

UK firms in North could remain under EU rules, EC warns
Where’s the absolute halfwit who was cheerleading Brexit?
” EC warns ” …
Two words which explain why Ireland was twice threatened into changing its mind on the Nice and Lisbon treaty votes and why it will always be little more than a play thing of Germany and France.
If your default position in Europe is on your knees begging then expect to get shafted.
Bank bailout anyone ?
Fortunately Blighty is made of sterner stuff which is why we’re leaving in 11 days time.
Good luck when they come after your corporate tax rate.They’ll be pushing against an open door.
Heh, heh, heh.

it’s a restrictive clause, charger
how many fupping times do we need to do this?
Charger Salmons
And how many times do I have to tell you off about not using capital letters and punctuation Brother ?
Dom wouldn’t make such a schoolboy error …
Brother Barnabas
except it’s not an error; it’s an aesthetic preference – and dominic would appreciate that, actually. (as an aside, we share a love for mid-century british design as it happens. he has (or had) a cat called ebeneezer gomme, named after etc. it had a flaky skin condition, though, so i kept my distance)
…cheeky comma there, Barabas…the use of ‘which’ identifies the user as English, whereas, ‘that’ is an Americanism…or in your case…a dorty word…
Brother Barnabas
i know it’s only wednesday. bisted, but that might be the silliest comment of the week
but let’s see what giggidy has up her sleeve before making any rash assessments
…thanks…I’ll try that…btw…is mid-century design the same as post-War brutalism?
Brother Barnabas
it would be an example of but not the same as

1945: Britain borrows $4.34bn (approx. £30bn today) from US and Canada, finally repaying in 2006.
1976: Britain’s financial crisis required largest IMF bailout to that date of $3.9 billion ($17.5 billion today).
Bank bailout anyone?
millie vanilly strikes again
Almost like a dog whistle, Caroline, here they come.
Caroline. No.
Dead behind the ears Milly and likely dysfunctional downstairs too, not even good for that
What type of person wouldn’t check if there was someone in the tent before using industrial machinery to remove it?
dav
Apparently is part o an on-going campaign to remove tents from the canal, I assume the roll on up when they think it’s quiet and speedily remove the tents before anybody tries to stop them. They only belong to the homeless so they don’t care.
Janet, I ate my avatar
absolutely disgusting, it’s freezing out, what harm are they doing,
dav
RTE reporter on morning Ireland was trying to claim they encouraged anti social behaviour, which ties in their editorial changes towards the homelessness crisis.
Caroline. No.
The canal bank is not a hostel – it is a public amenity for enjoyment by all.
They shouldn’t be there in the first place.
ReproBertie
You’re right Caroline. They shouldn’t be there. They should be in proper accommodation but the Ireland we live in today can find €2million for a printer but can’t provide accommodation for the homeless.
Caroline. No.
Bertie why can’t the homeless find accommodation for themselves?
It’s one of the basic requirements for adults
ReproBertie
You may not be aware of this Caroline but there’s a shortage of affordable housing in Dublin.
Caroline. No.
If they can’t afford housing in Dublin Bertie why don’t they try somewhere else?
That’s what you, me and everyone else has to do. Yesterday I was stuck in my car for 3 hours getting to work. I am mystified by the sense of entitlement of beggars and parasites and their enablers
ReproBertie
Maybe they have Caroline. I’m far from an expert in homelessness but if you and I can consider that as a potential solution you’d like to think that the experts are helping them look into that option.
GiggidyGoo
Carrie – you shouldn’t type while driving, or stuck in traffic. Unless you’re securely strapped into your child seat of course. No.?
Cian
Shocking. This is utter madness.
Caroline. No.
*blueshirt bot expresses fake concern as election called
Caroline. No.
apologies to the dead man and his family
But on a scale of one to out of it how out of it would you have to be to bed down in a skip?
Cian
Was he in a skip? do you have a link on that?
Caroline. No.
His “home” was technically a large piece of garbage littering the canal – as a matter of fact then he was using the canal bank as a skip
Lilly
Either a brute or a half wit. (Would attempt to move a tent with machinery without first checking that there was no one in it.) They should be charged with attempted murder.
Spaghetti Hoop
Gardai said in a statement that the tent was being removed “in an attempt to tidy the canal walk away”.
This is shocking. That was the man’s home. DCC drove an industrial digger into it. What sort of country is this?
Caroline. No.
So I can just set up “home” on the canal?
Sound Hoop
It’s going to save me a fortune in diesel
Spaghetti Hoop
Well. Your commuting woes are irrelevant. But wherever your home is, dear, would you like if it was bull-dozed through – without first checking if you were in it?
It’s not what we’ve become as a Country Spag
It’s the best example of Fine Gael’s hubris ( even if it’s outdated now)
Humanity has been crossed
GiggidyGoo
So Michael D’Arcy comes out and announces €400k electioneering funding for the Dunbrody Famine Ship & Restaurant in New Ross in a bid to garner votes. Cuckoo Kehoe (who has his office approximately 100 steps from there) kept well away from this and landed D’Arcy right in it.
€400k would go a long way towards keeping homeless and hungry people alive in Wexford. People who left on the Dunbrody were homeless and hungry – would have been nice if they had a restaurant at the quayside, subsidized, for a meal before they boarded.
But, there’s no €400k
Caroline. No.
Again – bore someone else with your parish pump begorrah sure aren’t they a holy living terror irrelevant rant
GiggidyGoo
If I use those words, it’s only so that children can understand. Obviously you can’t yet as you haven’t yet posted any intelligent replies to any posts. You won’t last too long here.

Some good news: A judge with an iota of sense.
A 33-year-old airport worker, who tripped over a centuries-old “jostle stone” after exiting a pub in Dublin’s Temple Bar, has lost a €60,000 personal injuries claim against the pub and the city council and will have to pay the legal costs of both defendants.
The judge said the stone was visible to anyone who was watching where they were going and there was an obligation on people to look where they were walking.
Horse and cart? Protected structure? Seriously?
Rip it out immediately. What use is it?
If this was someone in a wheelchair or from leafy Foxrock she would have won the case

“UK firms in North could remain under EU rules, EC warns”
How is that a warning when it’s exactly what the Teaboy Taoiseach signed up to and had voted through the British Dáil last week?
It’s a fact
It’s not a warning
Proof positive of RTEs bias. They cancel a Prime Time Investigates program on homelessness, and present us with one on Showbands. Shameless.
But.. but.. Showbands!
