    Can't believe you guys were calling the Gardai with free newspaper conspiracy theories :D

    I thought first of all it was from my neighbour. Then I thought it must be Independent newspapers trying to force home their monopoly on the news.

    But, the second day there was a card inside one advertising "have your paper delivered to your door" every morning.

    And I thought I was a bit paranoid !!:)

    This is the info I got from the Irish Times:

    Free papers this week are organised by a bloke called George Davis who is offering a newspaper delivery service in the area. Tel (01) 235 0121 for further information.

    And to be fair Marcais (and without starting this all up again :rolleyes: ) I dont think it was unreasonable being worried. I'm a girl living on my own and none of the 3 free papers I got had an insert or any indication that it was a promotional offer (I did check!!!). That and the fact they were delivered at all hours I think was reasonable grounds for concern and to have called the Gardai. Yes maybe it was a bit paranoid but I'd rather they were made aware than I go to bed at night worrying about people breaking in, esp with previous threads about people waking up with intruders in their rooms. ;)

    Yeah, sorry mate, I agree completely but it's still a laugh :D
