    So.. Guess what happened last night??? [Please forgive me if my english and my spelling is a bit crappy.. I got very little sleep last night and I drank way too much coffee today :wtf:] My flat got robbed. Myself and my flatemate [Ciarán] were there. I luckily enough wasn't involved in any serious way. However the same cannot be said of Ciarán. He was really messed around.


    So... 2:10 in the morning... I wake up to see a figure standing in my bedroom door.. wearing a grey hoody but I couldn't make out the face... I was kinda half asleep [:zzz:] so I thought it was my brother after comming home from the night club and not so polietly asked "What do you want?"... a quick response of "Nothing" was given... fair enought... Brian lay's his head down to sleep.... 5 minutes later my flat mate comes running into my room shouting and screaming for me to lock the door, while he's grabbing my phone to ring the Gardaí [Police]... In those 5 minutes... ...Two men, fairly big, about 6 foot and stocky builds, walked into his room and dragged him out of bed. Robbed his watch [about €200], phone, wallet [With Credit Cards, Bank Cards and Cash] and some other stuff. They shoved a t-shirt [not my magerquark.de ones Uwe :-)] in his mouth and treathened to kill him... He was then brough outside [I was still in bed asleep at this stage :wtf:] where there were two more people waiting.. One said he had a gun but I doubt it.. [Guns are very hard to get over here].. and treathened to kill him, again, unless he pointed out his car, which he sensibly did. They were going to bring him up to the nearest ATM to make him withdraw money from his Bank and CC cards but Ciarán just kept saying that he'd give him the pin numbers, which he did, and when they were getting into the car he managed to get loose and run up to the flat... where he came into me... [Oh. .they also robbed some other stuff from teh flat.. PS 2 among the things] Anyway... we contact the Gardaí straight away and managed to get the Bank and CC cards cancelled almost instantly... Loads of other stuff happened after that that I can't really remember.. a bit of a blur.... Oh. Ciarán's car was a write off... completely gone... I have no idea how those bastards [forgive my language] walked away from the car alive. There was very little of it left after it was crashed.

    This is why America doesn't ban firearms. Firearms were banned in Australia and crime rose...nearly 80%. What does this all tell you?

      And I thought I had a bad day. In relation to yours mine's a weenie 1/5. I been through some shit, although I'm lucky enough to have never been robbed or mugged (touch wood, wooden desk helps :) ). Hope it goes better, and lock the front door (or how did they get in?). Cheers "There are no stupid question's, just stupid people."

I'm glad we have very, very strict gun laws... The correct thing to do was done.. just agree with them and nobody gets physically hurt.. although there are some mental scars for Ciarán.

Wouldn't have mad a difference. These people claimed to be members of the IRA.. wichi the obviously weren't, but you just don't take a chance. And Ciarán isn't from this area [he's from Dublin] so martial arts of not, 4 people against one... it's not worth it. At least now he has his health... and everythign else was insured... Maybe it's the "cowards" view of things but I think it's the best view of things. Regards, Brian Dela :-)

                                    I'd recommend a Caramel Frappuccino with a couple of shots of espresso in it. Of course, if you don't have a Starbucks near you...well...I honestly don't know what I'd do without a Starbucks...

                                      Ah. So why would you be kicking his head in if he didn't ask for an extension? :confused: Or is it just because you're looking out for him?
