Guessing that's sarcasm? :P It wasn't Armagh "city" itself you were in? It's not too bad generally. Basically the area between the roads out to castleblayney and forkhill were always scary, really not a place to walk around. My mate lives out along there and has decided not to go near the local pubs after recent events in Antrim and Craigavon.ShawnRaven wrote: »Aye, the Dundalk Deportation Authority send em right back up to Armagh. Was in Armagh once for a day with my job at the time. Scary place. Smack bang in the middle of Armagh village, place is like a ghost town at 5pm! Cars with shotguns in the passenger seat.
Made Dublin look like a safe haven!
I remember one time, in a part of Dublin which i will keep nameless. But i was wandering around looking for a mate of mine at the time, and this ****in Hiace van pulls up with six pikeys approaching me. I f*cking bricked it, especially as i was only 15 at the time. Then once i corrected em that it wasn't me they were looking for, it was another guy that hung out with us, and that i hadn't seen him in weeks, they thanked me and f*cked off.
Nice guys in the end, of course I say that after avoiding a major flogging!
Heh, ya can't beat the Hiace :P The worst thing about the boom was the lads getting nice cars, ya could tell who was a knacker or who just had bad taste til they rolled down their tinted windows :P
Unfortunately around here ya don't get a chance to state your name

It may have been the city, but it looked like a village. I remember literally crapping myself sitting at the train station hoping the f*ck a train would hurry it up. I'm just not used to places being *THAT* quiet!!Heh, ya can't beat the Hiace :P The worst thing about the boom was the lads getting nice cars, ya could tell who was a knacker or who just had bad taste til they rolled down their tinted windows :P

Well this was back in 1991, m'man. It's that way here too now. The amount of drive bys have increased dramatically across the country since then. South Central LA has nothing on Ireland now!!0 -

Not to talk things up too much, but the murder rate in Louth/Meath was the highest in the country when the last figures were released, and the amount of vicious non-fatal assaults in Dundalk is ridiculous. The numbers might not match Dublin but for a town of 30-40,000 it's gettin ridiculous. This town has just exploded the last few years, used to be a few knee-cappings a year to keep order, now that the scum are left to sort things out between themselves it's carnage.
Still, I suppose most of the time it's not too bad. There's a chance of a random assault at any point just about anywhere, but sure it's the same everywhere, which makes it ok:pac:0 -

Thats why i said the country. It's gone up in nearly every part!Still, I suppose most of the time it's not too bad. There's a chance of a random assault at any point just about anywhere, but sure it's the same everywhere, which makes it ok:pac:
Yeah, at least we can still manage to keep the guns out of the schools... for now.0 -
Aye, but there used to be a presence here really keeping things under control, so drugs related violence was lower than the rest of the country for ages, it's now caught up and the rate it's happened at is just scary.ShawnRaven wrote: »Thats why i said the country.

Aye, we've turned into everything that we can't stand in every other country.
Ironic, huh?0 -

Have to admit a few years ago I went with my uncle's family from Dundalk to Sligo and then Achill Island. On the way there were no sheep on the road til we reached the "Welcome to Co. Mayo" sign :P
You can say **** all about sheep though, living in Wales and all0 -

My last location setting was Torchwood Instutute III, Cardiff, Wales, UK.
Basically, although not a big fan of Doctor Who, i am a fan of it's spinoff, Torchwood. I put that in there and people automatically assumed i lived in Wales! 0 -

I knew what Torchwood was, I didn't realise it was set in Wales, just assumed that you had set up a fanclub while you were in Wales :P0 -
