Apparently he picked on the wrong people recently and it ended up with him taking a pasting from 3 guys outside Paddy Power.
He was giving it to me a few weeks ago so I stared right up into his face and he just walked on - still ranting and raving though.
I must admit, having seen him around quite a bit, he seems more mentally disturbed than merely drunk or stoned and although he barks very loudly he doesn't bite (well not hard anyway!).
On one hand I feel very sorry for the poor chap but on the other hand he shouldn't be allowed on the streets to frighten the hell out of normal people going about their daily lives so I hope the appropriate authorities manage to do their bit for him and for the community.
