WELCOME HOME MICHAEL! ffs

I never have been pickpocketed but I'd like to think I'd be wise to it but some are masters of this 'art' so I've been told (if it was an olympic sport we'd at least get bronze by the looks of it).

So have you ever been pickpocketed?

He was on the radio yesterday saying he left Coppers at half two and his phone was missing so there's a good chance he lost it in there in a drunken haze while fingering a drunken young wan from Offaly on the dancefloor.

hehe generalise much :pac:

but I have heard about a organised group of Brazilian women who are targeting a lot of men in night clubs in Dublin at the moment

Mr Benevolent

Why should I care about a sportsman getting his phone stolen? Is there a moratorium on phone snatching if the proposed victim has had their name mentioned in the media? Why is this news?

Fck me, where can I get targeted by these Latina Banditas?

It was probably Enda Kenny getting back at him :pac:

Sad loos for him. To train that long and have the memories stolen is vile.

Mind you, if the memories were so important to him, then why the hell did he take them on a night out, to coppers of all places, and why the hell didn't he back them up?

I was with a friend when he got his wallet nicked. We were drunk, in Florence,Italy. He thought it would be a good idea to follow 2 guys down an alley to buy some hash. After he had paid them, they pickpocketed his wallet.

.....and then they used his credit card to pay for €1.90 worth of parking!

They came home from the Olympics. They were celebrating.

Either this is badly written or daddy has an alcohol problem:

"All the athletes were there and it was the last time that they'll see each other," Conlan's father, John, told the Irish Independent yesterday. "They hadn't been able to socialise before that because the Olympics was an alcohol-free zone."


There is no socializing possible without alcohol?

And if you have so many valuable pics on your phone, back them the **** up. Phone might get stolen, you lose it or it bricks.

The poor bastards was really unlucky, I mean 99 times out of a hundred in Coppers, when you feel a hand reach into your pocket looking for something hard and about 6inches long, it's usually attached to the wrist of a student nurse...

Let's just say that the gurriers should be happy that he didn't catch them, because they'd be enjoying a nice little holiday in St. James' had he.

Actually said he couldn't blame alcohol as he doesn't touch the stuff.

Ah yeh shure, its very unlikely us Irish could ever be pickpockets. Must be those pesky foreigners. Sure I heard off a lad in the pub!

diddly diddly doo

"Dublin pickpockets" you say OP.

How'd you come to that conclusion?

His phone was stolen in a Dublin nightclub or he lost it, he's not sure.


Shame on you OP. :mad:
