A random waffle thread?

Thats just crazy - why would you endanger yourselves and others? Hope they got reported

I passed that section today and I'd say something was on fire in the hard shoulder anyway. Just one car shape black mark and a load of that red stuff thrown on the ground for likely oil and fuel leak. No damage on the road of central barrier though.

I was wondering if anybody knew what was going on on the N69 & Dock Road last night. One Garda car in the middle of the Dock Road/O'Curry Street Junction, one on the Dock Road Roundabout and further out loads of units by the cement factory.

If it was about half six/seven, there was a cycle for suicide arriving from the foynes direction. Stopped here last night and heading towards galway today.

Did you call the Gardai?

Passed someone parked on said yellows when I was walking down Wm St the other day having an argument with a bike cop - as it was only the passenger, the cop drove off, not sure if he came back. The Gardai would need someone on bicycle to patrol the street for just parking.

Came across one a few weeks back where there were two cars blocking the lane, beeped my horn and all I got was a middle finger :mad:

Again did you call the Gardai?

If it isnt there, they are normally on the overpass or at the top of the hill the road of the overpass. Sickening behaviour really - what goes through their tiny little rat brains!?

I was in town Sunday and the whole lane from Guineys all the way to the top of the street was illegally parked. The bike cop was doing people for parking on the side of Burger King but ignored William street most likely. It was robocop. I don't mind people parking anywhere on a Sunday but its during the working week when the abandonment of cars annoys me, especially parents collecting their kids from the Gaelscoil on Thomas street.

I did off course up to roxboro Garda station. ( I was going to go back & look for the beeps & beat the head of them, but knowing my luck I might have got shot or stabbed haha).She said the ****ers @ it again,send a patrol down there.

Mc Love

Thats why the OH hates when I beep at people that block the lane on William st, as you never know what sort of scum you could be upsetting

Birdie086

About the cars on William Street, I didnt even dawn on me to ring the Gardai, I suppose I see it so often......................it just really annoyed me yesterday

Add people pulling into the bus stop "just to pop into the shop"...then a bus comes along and some drivers will refuse to even attempt parking the bus (not saying they should) when there's a car in the stop, adding to the mess.

You can also add the drivers of a certain demographic who abandon their cars in the loading bay and road outside O'Mahony's in UL in the morning so they can pop in to get the cheap newspapers (no vat on papers in UL)

I miss that. I was never a student but worked as an electrician in UL for ages so I bought one of the rags on a daily basis! See those fancy lights on the living bridge? You can thank me later :P Ha! Don't worry, I wasn't one of those car abandoners!

Just seeing this now, any update on it?

There was plenty of fire engines but no fire by the look of it!

The firemen were spraying water on the road and the hoses when I got there about 10 o clock.

Live95 were carrying a story about (I think) Mahon House at the top of William Street having a fire. It's a bundle of apartments if I remember correctly.
It sounds like the fire wasn't contained to just one apartment and spread up/down floors.

i saw Billy Connolly tuesday night at UL

and to be honest i was disappointed..........90% of the gags/stories i heard before from his dvds & videos and he looked jaded a shadow of his former self

A2LUE42

He didn't exactly hang about either. I was leaving UL after football at about 5 past 10 and the traffic was all backed up with people leaving the concert hall. How long was he on stage for?

fryup

about 1hr 45mins...........he dosen't do encores

Nope, unless you want to go to Dealz, but that is also rubbish.
