Gerry the Beard leads a rebellion north of the border for Independence from Britain Fails even worse does a deal to ligitamise the occupation until the Majority agree to unity then fucks off defeated with his tail between his legs to another country and he is a hero . Pugedemon does exactly the same well not exactly he didnt do a deal with Spain to allow them legitimately occupy his part of Spain but he fucked off to Belgium and he is considered a Coward by the separatists ...Go Figure ...Gerry the pensioner .Pensions from Westminster where he was a MP pension from the Dail old age pension and probably one from the NI assembly ....The wages of Sin .

Do Shiners not live on average wage and donate the rest to the cawse? That's what the lads collecting the protection money polaticol dunayshons used to tell retailers in the city... until the Chinese lads kicked fourteen colours of shite outta them.

The man has more skeletons in his cupboards than the Kennedy dynasty. Still wondering how he got away with his infamous "Ballymurphy Ni...r" tweet. Celebrated by moronic nationalists both sides of the border...I've news for you armchair Provos...Copernicus rang to say...yez aren't the centre of the universe after all.

Sold out on taximen a long time ago when they campaigned to have men barred from driving taxis in the Republic Of Ireland on foot of convictions handed down by the British Judiciary, the same judiciary that convicted the Birmingham Six and the Guilford Four. At the same time they promoted handing out licences to billions of immigrants whose criminal records could not be verified.

What happened with the "bhoys" and the Chinks, Rats? I know a few Chinese lads and they tend not to involve themselves in disputes with natives. Machetes and Parangs tend to be reserved for their own kith and kin.

Legend has it that the boys went to collect the usual from a (former) public house on Parnell St and, upon reflection, concluded that they were out of their depth. Word on the street (probably greatly exaggerated) suggested that at least one was carried into the Mater with a small part of his body in a bag of ice. Rumour has it that the entire stretch of Parnell St that's now known as Chinatown, once a Republican stronghold, is currently exempt from donations.

I see. Funnily enough, I knew a guy once who started up his own brand/style of Karate(no joke). I know for a fact that he and his progeny attempted to "sort out" a few lads around that area. Rather stupidly he and his misguided acolytes turned up to a gunfight with a couple of bats and a copy of Bear Gryll's guide to survival in the great outdoors. Anyways....can't bate the Dubs for aul legends.

politicians irritate me but sinn fein especially irritate me.
they want to get rid of a bunch of elite self-agrandising power mad cunts that control the north so they can install their own elite self-aggrandising power mad cunts to control the north.

Did that ever actually happen

It did happen about Twenty years back, but it was a Ching-Chong dispute.

The reason that I know is because one of the main instigators of the Machete fight in Dooblin was a regular Bookie customer of mine, he was a good customer easily dropping a 'Bag a Sand' a week.
He did have a dispute with my assistant manager once on my day off, over a bet that was laid 'Late' while in Running, my young assistant manager refused to pay out and the Ching then put Two small pencils between his fingers, fortunetley he did take the Pencils out of his fingers before his attack, but he still stuck both of his fingers in to my assistant mangers eyes.

That's what they claim(ed) but who knows how much they get back in "expenses" after donating from their salaries... a lot of donations are in used notes so it'd be difficult to put any kind of reliable audit trail in place. Off the top of my head I recall one of their TDs raiding the Dail Stationary Cabinet to the tune of half a million Euros, presumably leaving his constituency cell with half a million Euros in used notes with nobody's name on it.

The '79 incident was a long time before the Chinese took over their stretch of Parnell Street, now known as Chinatown.

The feud Ken is on about was in 1979.
Had to do with protection money in Dublin, limerick and Cork.

My best Chinaman bookie story .Billy Kilpatrick /Billy Arkle had a shop on O connell Bridge .China man comes into the shop has a grand on a Peter Walwan  first timer @7/1 running in one of the first evening meetings to be held .In them early days there was no live coverage of the races you got the results on BBc radio 5 after the ten O clock news .The horse won and Billy went around the pubs looking for his board marker a fella called Billy .When he found him they went back to the shop about midnight .They use to have marker sheets with the name of every horse for each race printed on them and the boardman would write up the prices that came every race over the tanoy .These sheets often were delivered with a blank sheet of paper similar in size to the actual race sheets.You would hold on to them for writing up special offers .You always had a few thrown on top of the telly .Billy didint want to pay the chinaman probably hadent got the money so what he did was to get one of these smoke staines pieces of paper that looked like it had been around for a long time and he got the boardman to write down the betting rules and limits for the shop .Hidden in the newly written rules was the following .Limit payout on races not covered live by extel is £1000 so when the Chinaman Came in to collect his 8K Billy offered him his £1000 back and told him the limit for night racing was £1000 and to make things even worse and to guarentee Bill could call the Gards for backup he kept the chinamans £100 tax telling him it was up to him to know the Rules.

 As I remember that lad was later chopped up in Abbey Street when the Triads had a small falling out .

The story I heard was a load of black lads getting the shite bet outta them by the Shinners because they were looking for protection money from a business on Parnell Street.Apparently the shutters were pulled down before the beatings commenced.Could be bollox though.

 rofl rofl Exactly...meanwhile 3 armoured cars, each containing 3, 20 stone branch lads are making 2 grand a week out of it. I'd wager the local fat-lad- burger- share prices have escalated. Wish I'd listened all those yrs ago when I was tauld to buy the Ref Pub in Ballybough.

Used to be a Republican stronghold but the Triad are noted for their insistence on protecting Chineese business communities all over the world. My own suspicion is that there was probably a deal done in a more civilised fashion than legend suggests.

'A Total Rough' But nice to see him remembered.
