    Just passed a guy having a solo-protest outside Tyres Direct on the Cork Road. Fair play to him having the balls to make a stand, all by himself!

    He was carrying a sign saying 'RIP OFF' so I assume he has an issue with the price?

    I'd say there's some load of rubber-necking going on by those passing...

    Maybe he's trying to "remould" his career as a professional protestor?

    He might be losing his grip on reality.

    Maybe someone deleted his tread about a charity event without reading it...

    tread like...tyres...it works, brilliantly.

    I guess likely not. Many years ago a local guy ripped me off for 5 grand and skipped the country. I made it a mission to follow him via the interweb and hound him for the money whenever he popped up selling his services. It cost me sleep and him several contracts but he likely slept every night. No joy there.
