That would have been the rod licence controversy which happened around 89/90.
My next door neighbour did time for that, no way was he paying, became somewhat of a local celebrity, appearing on the front of the Echo and Examiner

Some lads on here would label him as part of the awkward squad for not doing as he was told.

[backinatracksuit]

I’d very much doubt that,
But he was a very awkward man alright

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

No, this was in the last 5 years or so.

I just googled it there, 2015, and he was caught fishing with prawns to catch salmon. There is a catch and release policy which he obviously wasn’t abiding to.

[backinatracksuit]

Ah yes, I misread your last post as saying that the incident occurred 40 years ago

[flattythehurdler]

There was all sorts of thuggery up round Galway and the corrib. I could never understand it. They were slashing tyres and burning boats of lads who had the temerity to go fishing.
If you don’t agree with it, don’t pay, and fish away. But oh no. Let’s stop talking to lads for three generations and destroy their property.
The Galway way.

Gobshites (masquerading as experts) constantly referring to ‘the Ukraine’.

[Biff_Egan]

Allowable uses include “The” Gambia, “The” Arsenal and “The” Ohio State University. Not “The Ukraine”.

[Ralphie]

“The Cameroon”?

[LionelRitchie]

The Dinner?

[backinatracksuit]

It was ‘the Ukraine’ under the Soviet Union I think. Old habits maybe.
Sure we all say it

[Jahan]

The Christmas.

AFAIK “Ukraine” is literally the Russian word for “border” so if you say “The Ukraine” you’re saying “the border”, like it’s not even a real country. That’s the Russian style.

Sadiq Khan has let London go to the dogs altogether

[Batigol]

The Gambia is the correct name for the country. Not Gambia.
