Fucking Scumbags
I know someone, lets's call him 'Aloysius'*, who has a problem. For the last several years, he has been living beside some fucking scumbags, who seem to believe that his garden is a perfectly reasonable receptacle for their empty Guinness and cider cans and flagon bottles. Several times he has had his garden cleared of this rubbish, only for it to return soon after. On one occasion I counted upwards of fifty empty Strongbow (the preferred tipple of scumbags and winos) cans in one corner of the garden.
Last week, Aloysius (in an inebriated, angry state) flipped, filled up a black bag with these cans, and lobbed it over the hedge onto the neighbors path. The bag disappeared the next day, but the cans once again started appearing in the garden. Aloysius is now in fear of his life, or at least the cleanliness of said garden.
Aloysius has called, and written to, the council (as it is they who own the house next door, and not the occupiers, who are too useless and lazy to have actual jobs, and prefer instead to spend their days indoors, drinking and watching tv, and living off the dole), stating the problem, but has had no reply or result. Therefore it seems that throwing rubbish into your neighbour's garden is an acceptable practise. I wonder, though if we all started doing the same thing, would we get away with it, or would a hefty littering and/or disturbance fine be slapped down upon us. Maybe we should all give it a try and see?
*Names have been changed to protect the innocent. If you know the identity of 'Aloysius', please DO NOT reveal it here, or I will have to delete your comment.

God I am seething even thinking about it and I dont even live there.
I dont get people throwing any rubbish on the ground anywhere (even if there are no bins) so understanding sick, sad brains of such individuals is completely beyond my comprehension.
Arrrrghghghghghgghghg. And breathe. And relax.

For my next ranty post I shall endeavour to take several photos of the unbelievable amount of rubbish on the ground in Shankill, where there are no (I repeat, NO) bins, for miles.
What's even harder to understand in this case, is that the next door neighbor's bin is right beside where he throws the cans over the hedge. It's just incomprehensible.

No bins in Shankers!! One day, when I was still in college, myself and my mate Rob decided to have a picnic, in the park on Jervis Street, when we finsihed said picnic, we were like "where's the bin?" no bin, in a PARK!!! so we walked back to college with the rubbish, we walked and we walked and we walked, and there was NO bins all the way up Abbey Street (both sides) or on O'Connell street (both sides) this was when they were doing the rejuvination on the area, so the groovy stainless steel bins were not there...and they wonder why our city is so filthy!!?

You can walk all the way from the DART station in Shankers into the village, agus níl aon bruscar amháin until you get to Tesco. And the entire way along, there are mounds of rubbish, cans, and crap.
I'm pretty sure there would still be some rubbish even if there were a few bins, but there would definitely be less than there is now.

if its a council house and they are council tennants then find out the director of environment service's name, and write a letter personally to him - under some act or other - they are legally bound to reply

Hmmm... I shall notify the victim of this information. If they are legally bound to reply, well then it's all the law an' all, isn't it? Something will happen.
Posted I will keep you.
