notably at the junction of kylemore rd and the naas rd. i see dublin is slowly becoming rio de janeiro or some such third world capital with these blokes. now if they were doing it for free i wouldnt mind.

I can remember being very small and some one doing that to the car when we were driving through Dublin, this would have been around 1992, we were going to mosney .|..|.

Kids used to do it all along the Grand Canal years ago during the early 90s if I remember correctly.

Could be the sign of an economic downturn.

i saw two fellas at this in mullingar a month or so back - a father and son i suspect. they were on the bus to dublin later that evening - i should have asked them if it was the down turn in the economy that had them out washing windows

i started reading that and i thought you were going to say, so you can sponge their face if you see them walking along.

god donagh, you're just so cheap

 

[Goff]

Anyone touches my car can expect me to aim the thing at them in return.

That used to be popular in O'Connell Street. Very few people paid them so I think they gave it up.

Though, you'd wonder how they could have expected people to pay when they were manky durty themselves.

Not very professional.

yeah, they were at every poxy junction. It was especially a pain in the hole if you'd just washed your car and then these little fuckers would come along and dirty the thing up. They used to say that you didn't have to give them money. I'd say 'ok so'.

Then there were those people who used to try and flog that little magazine for unemployed people at the lights there at collin's avenue/swords road. Supposedly it was some charity but the Joe Duffy show launched an investigation and it turned out to be some big hoax and it wasn't a charity at all. Some chancer chancing his arm.

There's a one legged girl who begs at the traffic lights on the Swords road beside Airside. It would be a bit awkward for her to squeegy your window though.

 

[Anthony]

what's the best way to get rid of them? Turn on your wipers?
Fucking hate them.
