things that annoy the fook out of you

It's a bit of a weird set up down by the canal now. The Barge won't allow anyone move into the sunny area by the water. They are making people stay within the boundaries of their boozer. Previously, they gave people plastic glasses and allowed them out the door wherever they wanted to go.   

So you've got a situation where The Barge are employing loads of extra security staff to stop people people buying drink and taking it out off their premises so the natural progression is that no one is going into their pub. Where previously, it was probably 60% of people buying cans and blanking The Barge, I'd say that it's about 90% now whilst their costs of doing business have increased and right outside their front door is the busiest gargling spot in the city. 

You're right though. I was walking down the canal this morning and it was in bad shape. I don't mind as much when people leave their empties stacked beside an overflowing bin but there were tins and bottles everywhere.

The cleanup operation was going on though so if you want a silver lining then at least the rubbish has led to extra work creation 

 

 

I've seen people complaining there aren't enough bins. Even if there was a Ireland largest skip down there people would still leave a mess.

 

It's a lovely spot for boozing but I think it's going to get to a stage where the Gardaí are going to have to stop people boozing there because of the state the place is left in. Someone will fall on it one morning and get a bad cut and sue the f**k out of the Council as they haven't cleaned it.

I just think something inevitably will happen and it will take an absolute tragedy before people cop themselves on.
