"Nothing major but talking to my son last night during reeling in the years and he's never robbed an orchard with his mates so doesn't know the thrill of it. I had to explain how as kids we'd scope out the best tree's and apples,suss out if they have a dog, was there glass on the walls Was there a clear escape route I also had to explain how someone would keep sketch and how to tuck in your jumper into your jeans to get more apples in When did kids turn honest Did we all not rob orchards....did the younger people on here rob orchards Nope, I never 'robbed' anything. What's the difference in robbing orchards and shop lifting? There isn't one, it's stealing. How would you like it if the shoe was on the other foot?

A few of us planned it for weeks. Every Saturday for a few weeks we made a small hole in the ditch. The Saturday finally came and we were all geared up for it. All the planning was going to be worth while. So off we went. Crawled through the ditch and when we came out the other side there was the owner. She laughed and said take as much as we wanted. I think we were only around 10 at the time. Looking back on it now very funny. Yes it was wrong before some say it was but we were kids. We had fun. Oh the memories | |||

"I never robbed any but I know my brothers did, I think is was too worried about being caught. What did ye do with the apples after OP?" We used to eat as much as we could and throw the rest away We'd walk for miles to find a good orchard to rob You'd leave your house at 10 in the morning on a saturday and wouldnt go home till very late ....sure my parents never knew where I was half the time | |||

"It starts with robbing Orchards. It's a slippery slope from there let me warn ye... Then you start taping the odd song or two off the radio. A little improvement in Technology as you hit 13/14 your on Limewire downloading the latest Gigi D'Agostino single. Putting it on a CD. 15/16 you get a little more curious...But it's not enough, you want to get back to that nostalgic feeling of having what you stole in your hands. The young adolescent inside of you wants more. You start taking the odd Beer Dior from the fridge, they wont miss one you say. But it's always more than one... You get curious to find out what the hard liquor is like, you take a sip of the vodka hidden in the back of your parents press. Honestly you hate the taste, but you love the thrill of it more than youll ever love the taste. You're lying to yourself at this stage, as you go to rob another bit, only the figure out there basically 3 old dusty bottle of 10 parts water and 1 part vodka. Feeling half proud and half ashamed, knowing you shouldn't have got this far, you think how far can I take this feeling one last time. Next thing you know your sitting in the driver seat of your parents 02 Ford Mondeo, doing donuts in a field full of nothing but cowshite, blaring the burned CD of Gigi D'Agostima L'amour Toujours you got from Limewire all those years back. You've peaked. Waking up the next morning filling up with utter shame, you feel a little nostalgic about the apples and the orchard and your mildly Christian upbringing and the thoughts of sin. And you think to yourself shor didn't Adam an Eve eat the forbidden fruit, isn't it what it's all about. " Brilliant James Some of us older fellas used Napster before limewire and ended up on pirate bay Its a slippy slope indeed | |||

"Yes there was a couple of small orchards near us and a few lone trees dotted around. To totally shock the people who have "never stolen", we used to hide in the bushes at the golf course and wait for golfers to tee off, then we would run out rob the balls off the fairway and run back into the fields." Please tell me you sold the balls back to the players | |||

I'm sure you'll forgive me if I don't see the difference. ![]() Exactly. Everyone 'just taking a jumper full of apples' 2-3 days a week all season. Soon adds up. But no consideration given to the owner, if someone was getting chased for it by then it was clearly was a big deal to them. Hardly harmless. Let's face it, what would you pay for a jumper full of apples in a fruit and veg shop? Now if you were to walk into tescos and try to walk out with a 2 litre bottle of diet and a multipack of crisps without paying you'd get done for shop lifting! What exactly is the difference? Stealing and damage to property! Dress it down however you want. But that mentality is why government is a joke, your health care system is a mess and you're bailed out and propped up by Europe constantly. "ah lads sure it's just a bit of craic". ![]() | |||

And then look at your emergency medicine departments, full of locum doctors. You think any of it is a coincidence? | |||

" ![]() ![]() ![]() Ah get off your high horse. If you actually read my previous comment I've never done so no I don't consider it a right of passage at all. I was also don't see where I aimed it at just your comment either but of course seeing how you were your usual unpleasant self I can see how you would think it would be. If you think it's the an issue about the same people posting as you say then why don't you post more and see how well people respond because so far your comments seem to really boost the forums. Oh and I have adherred to covid restrictions and will continue to do so no matter how pissed off I am about them. And I do that because I know how dangerous covid can be and it has nothing to do with stealing or not stealing apples ![]() | |||

" ![]() ![]() ![]() Is it?? It's the same thing, ignoring restrictions and the law, disregard for how it might impact on others. And being selfish and ignorant and deluded enough to think you can do what you want. | |||

" ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() See how well people respond?? By people you mean most of the regular forum posters on here? Haha I couldn't be bothered to speak to these people if I ever encountered them in reality so I'm certainly not going to post here just to make small talk ans tell them what I had for breakfast. I think you hit the nail on the head though, it seems people post merely to see how well others respond as you put it. Hence the reason for so many absolute dross threads. | |||

Even some whose threads I may post in. But it doesn't mean I go and try and demean them at every opportunity either. | |||

"Yes there was a couple of small orchards near us and a few lone trees dotted around. To totally shock the people who have "never stolen", we used to hide in the bushes at the golf course and wait for golfers to tee off, then we would run out rob the balls off the fairway and run back into the fields." ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

"Your first kiss ,Learning to open a bra,going to your first disco,robbing an orchard,driving a honda 50,bunking off mass,drinking in the fields,shoplifting,shaving and using your dads aftershave,your first fight. Going into town with your mates on the bus ,getting into an over 15's film Getting out of the house early on a summers morning and only coming home very late Reading dirty magazines that were passed around even when some of the pages were stuck together Playing football on the roads cause there was no traffic Going on family holidays in a tent to courtown All perfectly normal things myself and most people did at some time or other as teens If you don't like any of them,or you didnt do any of them thats fine too. But to make the leap from that to the way the country is now ....just wow " It's not a leap it's merely applying the same principles albeit on a much larger scale. I havent heard you admit outright yet that you regularly stole from others and damaged their property and that despite that you're on here making out that that's OK as it was a rite of passage and dressing it up as nothing. In some instances these orchards may have been a livelihood, they may have been for extra cash flow in times when money wasn't so plentiful for cloths and shoes for the kids. Or they may simply have been the pride and hard work of the owners. Whatever the case it doesn't matter. You havent and still don't acknowledge that you were wrong and being a kid was no excuse. You stole from these people. Are you going to keep talking around it or admit to it? And in a modern era with inflation and the price of fruit in say Marks and Spencers these days what would such stealing and or damage to property equate to? Shop lifting? By still saying it's OK it shows your mentality. And the mentality is everything thats wrong and has been wrong with your government for generations. The mentality that self serves and to see what they can get away with personally. | |||

"My disabled cousin had two apple trees in her garden and every year it cost her between £150-£250 to replace a damaged hedge or fence every time kids decided to rob her apples. I'm the proud owner of a broken nose for stopping 3 of the feckers on one occasion. One of who pulled a flick knife on me. And before you ask I was the same age as they were at the time. About 16. I don’t think that kind of behaviour falls in the same category as a couple of ten twelve year olds legging it with a jumper full of apples.... I'm sure you'll forgive me if I don't see the difference. ![]() ![]() It’s not just Irish kids, I guess that’s why our own government and NHS are a mess and we’re constantly bailed out by Europe ![]() | |||
