Can you see Jack Charlton and the Child of Prague dancing around the mantle piece as well?

Or maybe Bill Clinton's around?

Agent Smith · 26-08-2004 2:20am

yes, and i happen to be posting on boards as well....

what the hell do you think?

Chucky the tree · 26-08-2004 2:25am

maybe its a lighthouse?

John R · 26-08-2004 2:30am

It is probably somebody's burglar alarm, they piss me off constantly these days.

Whatever it is it is local to you, I am not far away from Killiney and can hear nothing.

Victor · 26-08-2004 3:18am

Well there actually is an air raid siren in the barracks in Rathmines.

Agent Smith · 26-08-2004 3:24am

but out as far as killiney? it's stoped now anyway, was just wondering what it was, if anyone knew?

knifey_spoonie · 26-08-2004 9:33am

We have one of those in mountmellick, in Laois . It goes off whenever the civil defence guys get bored

They test it at noon every Friday

The Real B-man · 26-08-2004 10:43am

maybe the siren was blasting?

Unpossible · 26-08-2004 11:01am

yes you are under attack, quickly unplug everything including the phone, put on your tin foil hat and stay under the bed. Don't come out from under the bed or they'll find you, don't take off the hat, this is how they read your thoughts.

or you could have been standing too close to a speaker or something

michaelanthony · 26-08-2004 11:05am

An air raid siren was going off at Baldonnell last week.

Agent Smith · 28-08-2004 4:24am

DiscoStu · 28-08-2004 9:35am

beer enigma · 28-08-2004 9:43am

Probably Bono's house alarm system

:cool:

Fuhrio · 28-08-2004 1:52pm

my school bell is an air raid siren, although its nowhere near killiney

CuLT · 28-08-2004 2:17pm

I hear the Rathmines one occassionally, man, does that ever take me back...

back to The Time Machine and the DREADED MORLOCKS!!!!

Sarky · 28-08-2004 2:18pm

They're not so bad once you get to know them...

Exit · 28-08-2004 2:28pm

You're lucky. At 2am this morning, I had a helicopter chasing skangers around the place.

Sarky · 28-08-2004 2:45pm

Heh, sounds like fun.

"Run, you little beggars, run!"

ahh, does always be up my way too that hehe
I can sometimes hear the roadstone siren going up when they're blasting the rock, but its a fair bit away

billy the squid · 28-08-2004 4:17pm

Have had them blowing stuff up on the dock road here in limerick several times and have had that blasted helicopter buzzing houses too at 2 in the morning.

Would have thought there would be some sort of an air raid siren in Sarsfield barracks in Limerick although I have never heard it or heard of it being tested.

Jamesobrady · 28-08-2004 7:47pm

Billy you live on the dock road?
Not the apartments opposite the hotel?
I used to live in the apartment on 3rd floor over the entrance to the eurocarpark. The day i moved in i was working nightshift,trying to sleep at 9am and the blasting started! That was 2 years ago. lol
They still burning out cars in that carpark?

Are we under attack?
