You think that's bad, check out any youtube videos of the Arc de Triomphe roundabout!!!
Here's an example:
The main problem with the Walkinstown roundabout is that too many people go on it that don't know how the hell to use it, and ignore the road markings there. I've had people go round the outside of it, when they're going most/all the way round it, so you end up having to stop just to let them pass you when you're trying to turn off it.0 -

I've been to Paris and actually traffic watched cars going around. Had Inspector Clueso in my head watching it :pac: It'd be the thing he'd end up causing a heap of havoc without realising
. Nutters driving there though!! 0 -

Really? Why'd you feel the need to get out if you mind me asking?
Personally, I thought it was amazing. Free entry to the Louvre, Notre Dame, another little chapel called the Blue Chapel in english (teeny tiny but the coloured glass were superb!! and loadsa of yummy french food
Also the cemetery where Oscar Wilde is buried is incredible!!! Like mini mansion head stones in there.The Eiffel Tower was a bit meh. Bit touristy with an ice rink on it and the food was so expensive in the cafe!!! Views are amazing, but the crowd and wet weather ruined it for me that day. 0 -

Evenin' all.
Re: tempers etc. I have a vicious temper and a short fuse. Bad combination really. I try as much as possible to NOT throw the head as stuff tends to gets broke. I've punched through walls, ripped doors off hinges, pulled presses off walls etc. Although I'm not as bad as I used to be.
So today I was at my gran's funeral. A sad occasion obviously. Without sounding disrespectful, it was like an episode of Father Ted!! :rolleyes: The priests were about 90 yrs old, if a day, and kept bumping into things and dropping the incense on the ground and tried to pick it up with their bare hands. :pac: Then at the graveyard, they were getting ready to drop the coffin into the grave, and the young lad who was working with the Funeral Director couldn't hold the strap and was letting the coffin fall. My aunt called me to help out, and I ended up having to take the strap off him and drop the coffin in with the other guy. Such a joke!!
Well, it's all over now anyway. So how's everyone?0 -

Yeah the people can be a bit grumpy alright, but I found with most if you attempted to speak the language you were a sound person Customer service with a smile doesn't exist over there really
Sorry for the day you had PKM, always hard to lose someone. I don't know if things are differant in comparison to Dublin, but here the family members (those who would be able to keep it together) would lower the coffin in. Think I'm remembering that right. And we definitely dig the plot and put the dirt back in ourselves. I know now regulation is trying to stop that but you try preventing tradition in rural Ireland
The priests sound funny. I always prefer something like that to take the edge off just a little. Something to smile about after instead of saying "a lovely service" If that were me I'd infer a message was being sent from the grave, I'm a little silly like that.
At least she's at peace now, and that's always something to be grateful for x0 -

The touristy parts of the city were nice, but most of it is a dump, euro Disney was cool, stade de France was amazing. But what turned me of the city mostly was the people found the majority rude, cold and ignorant. Now all the Africans loved the Irish and were friendly and seemed to hate the French aswell. Now I have heard in south of France the people are much nicer, but have yet to visit.Yeah the people can be a bit grumpy alright, but I found with most if you attempted to speak the language you were a sound person Customer service with a smile doesn't exist over there really
Yeah, I was over there a few years ago, I got tickets to a big car show, new models being revealed etc. I was there for 3 days and I have to say, I wasn't impressed. Don't get me wrong, the Sacre Coeur is cool and the Opera House is amazing....but nothing would make me go back.Sorry for the day you had PKM, always hard to lose someone.

Never got to see the Sacre Coeur
Seen it from NotreDame, looked amazing!!
Would love to go back on a photography trip. The place is just full of good images. And I'd want another day in the Louvre, had to run through it.
It has fantastic buildings. Sacre Coeur is savage! I liked Notre Dame too, but the Opera House was my favourite. Did the obvious Champs Elysees and Eiffel Tower and the art galleries and stuff too. France would be great if it wasn't full of French people! :P :pac:0 -

Paris and the rest of France is like D4 vs. the rest of Ireland. I found the folk in the south of France (Basques in particular) to be exceptionally friendly
On a barely related note, I saw a really clever comment on Facebook a while back. A friend of mine was tagged in a photo of him playing chess.
The comment was "White pawn to D4"

@Angron, yeah I'm following that. Don't think it was a terrorist attack myself. I reckon an underground gas leak or something like that. Boston's not really a valuable target for any terrorist organisations
Didn't know fatalities had been mentioned though God love them! 0 -

It is explosive devices. Police have discovered a few that failed to go off. And a third went off at the JFK library.0 -

Anywhere is a target, terrorists just want to spread fear into people, it's not just about blowing stuff up, the whole city of Boston is in fear now, afraid to come near the city at all after what has happened :mad:0 -

4 hours into an international marathon would be a massive coincidence. Would imagine it's an attack.0 -
