So the moral of this story is ......CYCLE!Its good for the environment,mega cheap and you can skiddadle home quickly by weaving in and out of the traffic!

Cycling is good, although it would be nice if they could put some covered bike racks around the place.

A car is causing an obstruction -- I know, let's LOCK the car in the place so that it takes longer to clear the obstruction!

Ingenius idea.

They should raise the fine to like €200 or somethin like that. What's it now, like €80? Sure ye lose that runnin for the bus! 200 yippos and most people will continue to obey the parking regulations, only, those who don't won't be made to stay in the offending spot until someone arrives.

Shoulda just keyed the sh*t out of the cars instead, now that I think of it....

I agree clamping is stupid, and the cost of the system far outweighs the benifits of having it. why not have a computerised system(i know it could cost a lot to set up but isn't that why we pay taxes) where a car causing the obstruction is given a ticket say for €150, if it isn't payed within a month or two you get 2 points on your licence and still have to pay the fine, not payed after say 6 months car is repo'd. everytime you reoffend the cost of the fine climbs.

this way once the owner comes back to his/her car it can be moved and clear up the obstruction.

Impossible to do. The registered owner of the car might not be the person who parked it illeglly. So how would you know who should get the points on their licence.

It happened again today at the library circus carpark by the chapel. An entire row of cars , and that twat that blocked me in on friday was right in the middle (hehehe) . And some very attractive and upset girls standing there in disbelief.

So I talked to KingKlamp as I was leaving (head of services guy) who said that the cars he clamped yesterday in those photos started kicking up a fuss saying they pulled in first

Grimes - "you with services?"
KingKlamp- "yea"
Grimes-"there is an entire row of cars back here blocked in by some muppets"
Kingklamp-"yeah i know, happened over there and there was murder cause I clamped the cars"
Grimes-"Wa?"
Kingklamp- explain yesterdays sit"
Grimes - "Jaysus"
KingKlamp -" How hard is it for third level students to grasp the concept of straight lines"
Grimes -"Well thats a bit unfair .. its not.."
Kinglamp -"Third Level Students, straight lines, crazy , wait untill this is all over the student papers next week"

Would you trust this government to impliment any kind of electrical system whatsoever?!?? I bloody wouldn't! :eek:

But yer, some sort of alternative system to clamping would be of benefit.

Like what Dave, keying the cars instead? :rolleyes:

Don't remember where it was but instead of clamping they stuck this dirty big sticker to the windscreen of the car that had to be painstakingly washed off. I'd say the type of tosser that couldn't give a **** where they park would hate that and I'd enjoy watching them have to do it, everyone wins:)
