    Yeah circling tesco-woodquay area shining a spotlight around, there's also a Garda checkpoint in tesco, wonder if they're related?

    Been flying in circles for about 15 minutes now.

    No, more a sense of dread. As in "oh no, who is it this time".

    At one stage a while ago, Mr O'B knew 2-3 in a row :-(

    The choper sound is the city-living noise i hate the most, and the one i totally didn't predict when i moved in.

    It's based in the barracks in Renmore.
    It was out this morning and headed back in there a while ago.
    Keeping an eye on the boy racers I suppose.

    I'll agree with Mrs. O'B here, i can't hear the sound of a chopper hovering around the city without a brief moment of fear.. I'm glad they are there, don't get me wrong, but associated memories are rough.

    I don't know, whenever I see these helicopter threads I get a strong sense that you people are more "excited" than in "fear". Maybe I am wrong but I perceive it as ghoulish behaviour.

    I think mostly it's fairly innocent curiosity, but there will always be the odd 'vulture' type about. I think once no one says anything they can't substantiate it's fairly ok..

    (I am perhaps somewhat naive here)
