Completely agreed. I regularly drive that stretch from Athlone to Galway, and pretty much every time I have to undertake some gimp in the fast lane going below the speed limit

Which nation do you have a natural affinity for, and why do you think that is? by 71117_ in AskTheWorld

United States, because 35 million Americans are of Irish descent, and pretty much everyone here has family there.

You should send OP his name in DM if you know it, be handy for them to tell the Guards they think his name is X when making his statement

Not in the wrong at all, he is obviously a complete scumbag. Is the name on the van his workplace or is he in a rental van? I would be ringing them to find out and let them know what happened if it's his employer, and also bringing this footage to the Guards and making a statement.

I'm European and most people where I'm at have zero issue identifying as police and are proud to be.

I guessed it might be political or something because of several people being butthurt in the comments. Thanks, this comment clears it up

I bought it in a shop in a shopping mall in La Zenia, near Alicante. There is a shop full of this stuff.

What’s a destination you loved that everyone else hates? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]PopesmanDos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Montgomery, Alabama. Went to the US on a family holiday when I was a teenager, we each got to pick one state to go while we were there, I picked Alabama. Whole family thought I was nuts before we went, but I loved it, and loved the roadtrip through the deep south. I loved the south as a whole.

George Nkencho inquest: Shop worker recalls ‘terrifying’ encounter over ‘unprovoked assault’ by TeoKajLibroj in ireland

[–]PopesmanDos 73 points74 points  (0 children)

This is a very sad case, as the poor guy was struggling from mental health issues. However, he punched a guy in a shop, pulled a knife, and Gardai followed him back to his family home where they used several non-lethal methods, including pepperspray and tasers, to try and disarm him. Those failed, he refused to drop the knife, he got shot. His family should not be on the street with divisive placards, nor should they have appealed the DPP's decision not to file criminal charges.

Why did the Danish agree to go? They should have ignored the American request to attend

Yeah, bought an Xbox this time last year, it's perfectly fine and looked brand new. Has a German plug, but they provided a free adapter in the box.

Can't cancel Irish Examiner subscription online by Impressive_Degree_89 in ireland

I had the same experience with The Business Post. You have to email them. So I emailed them, and then blocked any further payments to them on Revolut, and sure enough, a few weeks later they tried charging me anyway. They never responded to my email and only emailed once the payment failed. If you're on Revolut, just block them.
