Cork city has gone to the dogs - official crime thread

total nightmare, being stuck next to (or near) some noisy drunken gobshite reeking of alcohol on a long haul (or even short haul) flight
Happened to me 2 years ago coming back from Canada, woke up mid night flight to a drunken Nordie who was after skulling a bottle of duty free whiskey.

The abuse he gave the flight attendants and passengers around him, some of it homophobic and radical was shocking.

We landed into Dublin and the cops were waiting for him and dragged him off the plane.

One of the attendants told me he’ll be on a no fly list for ten years, most airlines won’t accept him

Why do people act like this?
 
was getting Slattery's bus to London 30 years ago and on the ferry to u.k. I noticed a few rough types who'd been in ireland for a wedding we learned but thought no more of it

once we got back on the bus at Fishguard I saw they were on our bus, not long afterwards three of the women (all sisters) started arguing very loudly
"you stole my money"
"I did not steal your money"
"yes you did, it's in your shoe"
etc, etc

for. hours. on. end.
with the odd scuffle thrown in too.
on a nighttime bus making it impossible to sleep

arrived at Victoria bus station 7am dying to get off, get some peace and a cuppa of tea

driver stands up and goes, ok, no one go anywhere, transport police are on the way
thought we'd be there for hours being questioned

cops arrive and everyone bar the noise-makers were allowed go, thank fook.... never enjoyed a tea as much my whole life
 
Yeah, and that's just the cockpit.
🙂
I remember flying from Cork and was unfortunate enough to be seated next to a hysterical, talkative wan. Take-off was about five minutes late.
Wan. "Why aren't we taking off?"

Lee B in a relaxed tone of voice. "The pilot's still in the bar I suppose."

I didn't hear another word from her for the entire flight. 😉
