    Anyone else see the two traffic corp cops sleeping on the garda ramp, northbound just before the Ballymun exit at around 09:15am this morning?.

    Hilarious, out to the world. I was tempted to go back around to take a photo, I should have now.

    Anyone else catch these?.

    Isn't it common practice in the UK to use "sleeping policemen" to keep speeds down?

    Sorry, that was terrible.

    Perhaps it was a lover's tiff suicide pact. Guards have feelings too.

    those idiots drive me mad

    every time they park on the side of the M50 - (trying to catch people "dangerously" going up the inside of traffic on the hard shoulder) they cause a traffic jam as other idiots brake in case they are speeding :rolleyes:

    If you or I were doing something on the side of the M50 that caused the same dangerous reaction from people the cozzers would soon have us moved on or harassed! :mad:

    +1

    See them there all the time, have even seen a bike cop with his chin tucked into his chest.

    Best place to get a pic of them in land of nod if anyone wants to accept the challenge?

    9:15 would have been around their break time. Maybe they were having a power nap.

    They do start at 6am you know.

    Lazy sods - you would think they would be out looking for fires or maybe even starting them just to justify their jobs!
    Surely even there is a cat stuck up a tree somewhere ?

    ?? I think I know the difference. M50 Van versus car with Garda detail.

    They sit there with full faces and snooze.

    i think its good to see the gardi sleeping on the job... taking the stress away aswell as letting a few people laugh at them.

    fair play gardi :D
