The snitch

    Do people believe that there is a somebody within a lot of local communities that relay messages to the Gardai? I'm told this is commonplace. I don't mean somebody who rings the Gardai for every little thing, I mean somebody who is well respected and in the know in the community. The person would be in fairly regular contact with An Garda Siochana

    Christmas has landed. All that exists now is clubs, drugs, pubs and parties. I've got 24 hours off from the world, man. I'm gonna blow steam out my head like a screaming kettle, I'm gonna talk cod **** to strangers all night, I'm gonna lose the plot on the dancefloor. The free radicals inside me are freakin', man!

    Tonight I'm Jip Travolta, I'm Peter Popper, I'm going to never-never land with my chosen family, man. We're gonna get more spaced out than Neil Armstrong ever did, anything could happen tonight, you know? This could be the best night of my life


    And you start a thread on this?

    Where's my beer?

    Every community has it's stool pigeons, you find them especially in the older generation retired folks, nothing better to do but ring up the Gardai o hint of suspicious behaviour.

    Criminals aren't going to break their fcuking legs or masktape their mouths to a car exhaust for squawking, they're just dumb old bastards. It's usually people involved in that world who get done big time, a Rat is somebody involved with an unscrupulous group before snitching.

    It makes me laugh when people talk about snitches in Ireland. This isnt Poland in 1942.
    If you end up in jail tomorrow in Dublin there's a fair chance you're a scumbag or scrote of some description.
    If I knew my local snitch I'd send them a card for Christmas.

    Everyone knows heroin causes your teeth to protrude , your ears to stick out and eventually you grow a tail.

    Have you tried rentokill ?
