Only one more week left in our Dun Laoghaire box..

How to go to jail in Ireland?

A 17-year-old girl, who developed a drink problem, started a fire in a Garda station and attacked three female officers, after she was thrown on the streets by her mentally ill mother, has been spared a custodial sentence.

At the Dublin Children’s Court yesterday (MON) the teenage girl was placed on probation for one year. However, Judge Aeneus McCarthy warned her: “You are at last chance saloon. You will serve a sentence if you commit any further crimes.”

The girl was ordered to be of good behaviour for one year and to accept the guidance of the Probation Service to address her offending.

Her counsel Mr Michael Hourigan said the girl, who had no recorded previous convictions, was remorseful and would to abide by the terms of the probation bond.

During one incident she approached a man on Dublin’s Middle Abbey Street, on November 13 last, brandishing a broken snooker cue but was disarmed by another member of the public. Afterwards she told Gardai: “I only did it for a laugh, I thought it was funny.”

The girl, who quit school three years ago, had pleaded guilty to 20 charges for a range of crimes committed over six months including assault, criminal damage, theft, possessing a weapon and Public Order Act offences for breach of the peace and being drunk and disorderly.

She had been arrested in south Dublin, on September 7 last, for a drink and possibly drug-fuelled incident where she started screaming and yelling abuse at gardaí.

After her arrest she lashed out and attacked three female gardai with punches and bites at Dun Laoghaire station. A Garda had her skin broken and was left with a bite mark on her arm.

In another disturbance she and a group of teens disrupted a south-side Luas tram bringing it to temporary halt by abusive and threatening behaviour to other passengers.

In an incident in February she and other youths had gone to Pearse Street Garda station to find out if any emergency hostels had a bed for her. While there she set fire to a notice board in the station’s public office and caused €80 worth of damages.

In other offences, the girl had been caught stealing items of clothing and in one instance a pre-packed meal, worth €4.

In pleas for leniency the court had heard that the girl had a troubled past.

The girl, who was accompanied to court by her social worker, had been put into State care after “her mother, who suffers from depression and has other mental issues, threw her out of her home.”

She became homeless in the middle of last year with the only accommodation open to her being emergency hostel accommodation for people on the streets.

There she developed an alcohol problem and had fallen in with a “bad crowd” from which she has now disassociated herself.

The girl had left school at the age of 14 but in recent months had been placed into a care home and had commenced a training course

Codes from Dublin and surrounding hinterlands have released their 2nd single, which is an amazing feat in itself, after the trouble the band has gone through to get to this point..

The band first formed back in 1996 when they called themselves ''The Commodores'' but apparently that name was taken, and despite 6 months of legal proceedings, they were forced to rename themselves as the very orignal ''Lost'' . The band enjoyed limited success in the early days in Dublin and in September of 1998 the decided to start afresh with a move to Copenhagen, where they burst onto the scene with such songs as ''Dirty old Town'' and ''Tinkers Are Doin' it for Themselves"

Having finally achieved the success they sought, they found it came at a price. Bass player Stephen "Burkinator" Burke got heavily involved in recreational drugs and illegal underground bingo rings, almost ripping the talented band apart. Tragically on March 18th 1999, Stephen was found dead in a roadside motel, after suffering an overdose from the fatal combination of heroin, horse tranquilizers, whiskey and the ingestion of several counterfeit bingo cards.

The band subsequently returned to Dublin, heart-broken and in search of a new melancholy sound to mirror their feelings of loss after Stephen's demise. They found their creative answer in the form of a new band member, known only as Ray. Following a night of heavy drinking and drug use in a well known Dublin hotel, Ray appeared in the band's suite and refused to leave. Luckily for the band it turned out he was a good bass player as well as a talented stone-mason, and the band needed no further encouragement to add him to the line up. Ray wrote the bands comeback hit 'Bingo Kills' and also carved the headstone for Stephen's grave which is still in use to this day.

The band enjoyed major success in Dublin and developed a huge cult following in Japan where in March of 2006 they were invited to perform in front of the Japanese Prime Minister. But that came at a price for the group as Alan the lead guitar player was introduced to Bruno Harazicuszu who was employed as security for the band on the tour. Fate intervened as Bruno and Alan fell quickly in love and Alan decided to quit the band and stay in Japan to ply his trade as a gay couples counsellor.

The remaining members of the band decided to give it one last throw of the dice and with Alan being such a major part of ''Lost'' the band decided that one last name change was required. After much soul searching the band decided to overhaul their sound and decided on the name ''Codes'' (a tongue-in-cheek tribute to drummer Paul's inability to remember his bank or phone pins) and now with their 2nd single about to hit the shops (download only) there is huge pressure on them to top the heights that are now known as the ''Copenhagen years''. We wish them every success.

wellicky wellicky wellicky in recent weeks we have found that we had far to much important work to take care of in and around the couch area of our apartment,namely sitting and sometimes even lying so we not arsed doing an xanga...

...the last few weekends Gill was working on that tv show for RTE with Brian Dowling and to cut a boring story short she swapped a picture of 2 minor celebrities for a Mini Cooper which is cool if you like Mini Coopers but if your a bloke something like a small football team or a light aircraft would have been worth holding out for,the first strand of the show is this one...

more importantly England will not be going to Euro 2008 which is always nice...

Now!! if you take what we have just wrote then translate in Babel Fish Translation

Work and things of that nature..

Ok the story up to now has been work work work,up to now we both have been working 7 days a week for the last 2ish months with out a day off,

we have our weekends back now so we plan to go surfing loads and go somewhere new every weekend but a more likely option is sitting on the couch getting fat and watching football.

we both got ourselves new jobs there last month,Gill is working in RTE on that day time tv show ''The Seoige & O'Shea show'' and i got a job as a camera tech for a company that rents camera to tv shows like ''The Seoige & O'Shea show''. Having a job where your days are set in stone is a bit wank,if anyone knows of a job where i can sit on my couch and get paid for my opinion that would be great thanks! money is not important.

Oh Lizzi hope VMF is going good we'll be back before you know,i'll send you an e-mail when i get a chance.
