impatient, obnoxious, petty, argumentative, and obsessed over meaningless details
RTE radio are peddling some serious bullshit at the moment. They are saying shares in Irish banks are rallying. I have heard it every morning this week. This is what this rally actually looks like: It went from 22 last Friday to 32 on Monday which is a decent jump but its sliding back down [...]
Google captured a marvelous rural scene which rivals Bertie on streetview:
I got three summons in December for an ‘alleged incident’ that took place in June that I wrote about in always something there to remind you. Garda A tried his best to be fair the day he stopped me but his complete lack of any form of procedure and his shell bracelet annoyed me so [...]
independent.ie: DRIVERS will next month face stringent US-style roadside tests for drugs, the Irish Independent has learned. Gardai will be able to check drivers’ eyes for dilated pupils and carry out other physical co-ordination tests. The tests, commonplace in America, will also include ordering a driver to stand on one leg and walk in a [...]
I eventually found the page for the RSA anti drug driving campaign … on facebook strangely enough. You can watch the ads on their page but I found some of their research material. To be fair I think this is the correct order in which cocaine, marijuana and ecstasy should be taken in to have [...]

Every newspaper over the Easter weekend was filled with NAMA and the bank holiday roads contained the Celtic Tigers bastard offspring – the SUV badly driven by emotionally confused nouveau riche. Granted there are now less than before – maybe the [...]
I read with great interest in the Tribune last weekend that: Some people date the decline of our economy to the moment we sent Dustin the Turkey, a national in-joke, to mock our European neighbours with a terrible novelty song. In the past we took the Eurovision song contest very seriously. When Dana won in [...]
I found this while looking for some info about Jim McDaid the former Irish Junior transport Minister who drove the wrong way down a dual carriageway well over the legal limit. It is the Moville Co.Donegal St Patricks Day parade 2007: stilt walkers: lebelled as centra:
Follow up to some long forgotten rants about taxi’s THE TAXI industry in Ireland has changed dramatically over the past 10 years. According to figures from the Commission for Taxi Regulation, there were 4,218 taxis in 2000, before deregulation, and on January 1st this year there were 21,139. The face of the industry has also [...]
I was stopped at traffic lights in Christchurch yesterday. The window open an inch and the passenger in the car beside heard me listening to “Toto – hold the line” (it was on shuffle but I admit I did’nt turn it off). He craned his neck to get a good look at me. It was [...]
