Anyone having a pi**s at Custies down Cooke's Lane better be careful

Run_to_da_hills

Custies Shop has installed high voltage cabeling that will shock your Willy if you decide to have a pi*s up against the shop window. :eek:

Custies management were so pi**ed off with town reveilles urinating on their premises over the weekends that they have decided to take the law into their own hands.

How ever it wont stop someone pi&**ing into a beer glass or paper cup and trowing it at the window.

Perhaps he should think of moving premises and let this area remain as a public toilet as it has been for decades.

A friend of mine is a farmer and he claims his dad loaned Deegan the equipment.

Surely erecting an electric fence in a public place has legal repercussions? What if some drunk complains he got shocked and tries to sue.

Stuxnet

think matt cooper said it was going to be in the concrete,
he got loads of texts saying on mythbusters pissing on elec fence doesnt hurt you !!

any volunteers !!

If only he would knock off that fiddle racket, I wouldn't pi$s up on his door!

Honestly, I go in to town anyday, walk up O'Connell street and am forced to listen to ceol coming from a speaker system on the street....

Who the fck gave him the right to force us to listen to that?

Haha.. just heard on twitter it was on the RTE news just now.

Its nothing other than a publicity stunt, he's headlines in the gutters today, Sun, FFs, and Broadsheets, Examiner & Times. I believe he made an appearance on 6 / 1. He is looking for trouble, lads will be turding into paper cups and throwing it at his premises.

He is also opening himself to lawsuit, could you imagine some illiterate who couldn't read the warning disclaimer suing him for loss of productivity due to a high tension current running up his spout. :eek:

He is on dangerous grounds and has put his foot into it.

Even made it on to Sky News:

If he were still based in Francais Street, he wouldn't be having this problem. He asked for trouble moving down that lane, when he knew well that its a homeless/public alcos nesting area.

pappyodaniel

It would be gas if someone got shocked and complained to the Gardaí and a court case ensued.
"Yer' honour, I was havin a slash up again' a wall when I got a right shock in my langer!, it's an issue of public safety yer' honour"

It would definately set a precedent in the legal system.

Does it ever occur to you guys that it is actually disgusting to pi** on a shopfront or any house? Didn't you learn to use a toilet or did you grow up in houses where there is no such thing? Or is it even extremly manly to pi** or even shi* in open urban areas?

I know, a lot of questions. But since you are all capable to think of many ways why it is outrageous that someone denies you to pi** on their shopfront with drastic measures, you might well be capable to answer them.

Or not?

Think they were on Gerry Ryan about it too?

I think we can all blame the Diamond bar. It has a very long corridor and when crowded those bursting for a pi*ss would find it easier to go across the road to Custies lane.

Bouncers and staff at Brogans would not be too happy with Diamond customers crossing the road and using their facilities.

Lanes off main thoroughfare are renowned as urinals in almost any town and city in the country or world for that matter. I would put some responsibility on the shop owner for situating their premises on such a stupid location. Electrocuting those in need is only going to make things worse for him with possible revenge or legal repercussions.

Just as half the town pollute Cookes lane with urine Custies also pollute this lane with loud sh*it trash music day in and day out so I think both cancel each other out.

BLITZ_Molloy

Right, was talking to my friend. Deegan is talking out of his arse about buying the equipment. It was loaned to him by a farmer. Every time he talks about it he paid more money for it. Now he's saying it cost €5,000.

Who's Deegan?

Teadrinker

John O'Connor of Custy's was quoted by the Press Association etc., as saying
"a friend gave me an electric box with a cable coming from it and five wires."

O'Connor also mentioned that he had spent a few thousand Euro in respect of CCTV and a high powered light.

Gordon Deegan wrote the story.

Blitz might have had a few.

John O' Connor did not go ahead with the electric weiner roaster:eek:

Buy there was one person caught urinating outside his premises,
CCTV caught the individual ,They have a full profile of him and
the video is now in the hands of the gardai who intend to identify and
prosecute the guy.
i say fair play to him ...No one should have to put up with such filth
outside their place of business.The amount of tourists that come to ennis just to visit his shop alone in very large.I can just imagine the impression
they get of us as they strolll down the lane with the smell of urine and puke.Have some pride in your town and support the local traders.

Lesson learned. Wear a hoodie or baseball cap in future and get to know the coverage of the CCTV.

Would it not be more positive if Custies invested in one of these instead of breaking the law.

firesidechat

Why should custies have to provide toilet facilities for non customers
that wish to urinate up against his storefront while he is closed for business. Maybe he should leave directions on how to wipe one's arse
also, Seems to me a lot of people are not toilet trained, either that or
they have no pride in themselves or their town.

2.30 AM you are out on the streets, no pub or night club is hardly going to let you back in for a p*ss and at that the fast food joints are most likely to have their toilets "out of order" to avoid the post nightclub puke & mayhem. You may be lucky to find one at a rank if it is not engaged. :eek:

No one going to wait 10 minutes each time the superloo in Parnell St Carpark cleans itself after someone uses it. (If its still in operation) It is not very comfortable to hold a bladder full of p*ss after a night out and wait in line for a taxi. I think everyone on a night out will take out their flute for a pi*ss if they are bursting for it, the last thing on their mind would be their pride.

murraymarmalade

heard o connor on the radio monday or was it tuesday and he told clare fm that on leagal advice it was decided he would turn off the electric device.......however i heard him on the wireless this morning saying it was turned on and the culprit got a shock

so was it on or was it off?? which is it?one of his broadcasts cant be true.

Well you could piss before you leave the nightclub for a start. And if you are dying for a piss in the town, piss on a tree or something, not on a shop or house wall, door etc.

You hadn't had the cup of coffee before you posted this, right?

BLITZ_Molloy

I'm pretty sure the automated public toilet shuts off at 12pm.

As people say if you really, really need a pee there's usually somewhere a little more discreet to do it than ontop of someones shop front.

Vomit is unfortunate, but I guess it happens to the best of us. I used to work in Munster Group when it was behind Kings (now the Library) bar and I was on vomit duty every monday morning. It's an absolute bastard to get off when it dries.

Ah come on, it was good of the people to make it into work, just cause they missed a bit of puke on their chins doesn't make them bad people, nice of you to help them out though

If Custy's would pay me, I'd camp out in his shop and night and chuck buckets of water at the offenders. Actually, I'd pay Custy's for the fun of it. Great to see that one go to court if they tried to 'sue'.

Not odd to learn here that the people who take issue with ceol being broadcast onto the streets and making the town pleasant for tourists are the same people who think it their right to urinate on a shop front after clearly not knowing that they have had enough in the pub.

Chuck a bucket of urine from the upstairs window would be more appropriate. :pac:

All over the news and radio today. Really makes what is asthetically a lovely town sound really well ......pissy.

Councillor Paul O'Shea looking to hire 2 urine wardens.

Clareman

Really doing a great job as an counciller isn't he

"the smell of urine in the town at the weekend is quite much", way to go promoting the town

masalbeagdubh

Councillor Paul O'Shea sounds like an idiot. He was on Today FM this morning. The urine warden should call the guards when the offence occurs and then they come along and arrest the culprits. He was then asked why could the guards not just do extra patrols but he said they were over worked as it was!!!

Evil_Clown

Urine Officer "Excuse me sir but please stop urinating or I will call the guards"
Drunk man "Go ahead you p!ssy f**ker"
Urine Officer " Hello gardai there is a man urinating on the street"
Gardai " we will be there in 10 mins"
Drunkman * zips up fly and walks off
Gardai *arrive 10mins later with no one to caution

And we wonder why we have no money in this country :rolleyes:

Stuff like this makes Father Ted look more and more like a documentry

fergusman

This story is really starting to annoy me.
Someone pisses on your shopfront and youre annoyed hence tell the media to bring shame upon the pissers.
But at this stage the amount of airwaves and column inches given over to this story is absurd especially when you consider the economic state of this country at a national level and the local issues and problems the people of Clare face.
All this "campaign" has really accomplished is to make it sound like the town is a river of urine in the eyes of the national press. He has done far more harm than good to the town of Ennis and has made himself look like a complete media whore.
I see now you have a local town councillor saying that the town should have a ****ing urine patrol at the weekends???? wtf????
What about sorting out our water supply?
What about the huge deficit the council are running up?
what about the massive expenses bills every year for travel expenses for councillors to go to conventions and meetings in nice locations?
Jesus i could be here all night naming things that our local politicians have made a balls of.....
and yet they are more worried about someones piss
Gombeens and Morons the lot of them

Oh and Paul O'Shea is a complete idiot.....is this the calibre of our local elected representatives?
Go on a national radio station and basically slate your own town???
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.......

Dangerous and stupid move. The more Custies look for attention on the matter the more it will backfire. Someone should lodge a formal complaint about noise pollution in the lane, their choice of music is just like what one would hear in a public toilet.

_Arctic_

Theres nothing put up outside the shop, only a sign. "Urinate at your own peril". They didnt actually go through with it.

I think I was talking to the person responsible. I've been sworn to secrecy but he's got a ponytail so maybe you can use that to confirm.

Run_to_da_hills

I think that it would be a very good idea if Custies relocated to beside the Queens or in the Parnell St car park area because the floodng would flush out any future pi*ss from inside and around their shop

CutzEr

then they would just piss in the water that would flow into the place!

He'd electrocute the whole feckin' river if he had to
