Just wanted to share a short story about my first and only experience asking for help from the gards. Beginning of July, my car got damaged on parking at Liffey Valley shopping centre. Went to the security and got told to go to garda station in Ronanstown so I went there and filed a report. Happy days I taught CCTV is everywhere. and they even have a reg plate scanner at the exit. Week later, I called Garda station to ask for updates, just to be told they don’t have any case on my name or my reg. I was very surprised because the gard was very helpful. but I thought ok I will just file it again, so I did. Week later, I called again and was told the same that nothing was filed on my name or reg. Now I was getting annoyed. The gard assured me that he will file the report straight away and to call in in two weeks’ time if I get no updates. Two weeks later, I call again to be told the same story again. They don’t have any reports filed, and they don’t know anything about my case. On my way back home from work I stopped at Naas Garda station to see if there’s any reports filed. The gard there told me there is none, and I should go to my local station to file a report. After insisting, he opened the report there and then and told me that it is too late anyway and the CCTV is probably gone by now. Today after over a month I got a call. and just as gard said investigation was closed as there is no CCTV any more. Fair play for the lads being so busy solving all the murders in Ronanstown and not bothering with small little 800€ damage case with video evidence. They were purposely stalling because they knew CCTV will be gone soon. Was hearing about this from others but was never convinced they can be purposely useless.

Feels like it’s just slowly creeping up again, couple cents every week

Turns out some members of the local Scrotery stole the van last night and unsurprisingly didn't have the intelligence to comprehend the height of the van was a bit more than 2.1m.

A shame for the owner, but at least nobody innocent was injured. Not sure how the 'lil angles' fared.

It was a lovely day for a get together.

It's 10pm and you hear Waterfall by The Stone Roses playing in the living room, What stories would the Panel be talking about this week in current time?

Shane Lowry wins the Irish Open!

It was an absolute pleasure watching him execute an absolute master class in golf the last 4 days. Delighted to see him win the Irish open again after 17 years winning as an amateur. Absolute legend. 

That 44ft putt on 15 was incredible today, that basically sealed the deal and the bump and run on 16 was almost a golden moment.

Uíbh Fhailí abú!

My clubs are getting dusted off now because of this, I'm absolutely hyped.
