    TBF, D'agger just looks like he came across a poor motorcyclist, which IMO, is fairly rare.

    Most, as they're one of the most vunerable on the road, are excellent drivers and very aware of the surrondings around them.

    As mentioned, a crash at that speed will probably result in a badly damaged car but could kill the guy.

    I dont think D'agger done anything too bad, other then beep, which he admitted was in the moment but the guy in the bike seems like a douche.

    Again hes in the very small minority of guys that own bikes from my experience of buddies who own them and in general road usage.

    Main thing is neither is hurt.

    Absolutely.

    Most motorcyclists are good drivers alright - would consider myself a good driver but wouldn't trust myself on a motorbike tbqh, don't think I'd be able to handle it, although I'd love to give it a lash on a track or something....if I was on my own and nobody could see!

    I've no probelm going away its just trying find the right time to do so. :pac:

    Our holidays are very generous, I think we got 28 days this year after I carried over a day or two so in essence its 5 weeks and 3 days off a year, not too shabby.

    I'm not a big fan of BBQ's but if the weathers nice I'll go off on a long spin somewhere and make a day out of it.

    Never tried shrimp either, not a lover of fish food.

    I took the week off. Spent the day laying down a good sensible base layer. Going to have a long one tomorrow lying and lazing, moving only to turn a page or put on sunscreen. The forecast for tomorrow evening is a few cans of Bulmers and any amount of nathin done.
    Wouldn't it be great if it was like this evrydae!

    We've been barbecuing like mad people. I tried to take the week off but could only manage to get Thursday and Friday. Still, looking forward to some garden action on my 4 day weekend! Travelling around Cork in a full suit in this weather is a little manky.. Don't forget the spf everyone!

    Had to go home at lunch to pick up my gym bag after stupidly forgetting it this morning - nearly melted in the car.

    Should be illegal to wear a shirt and tie in this heat! :(

    Just back home from the UK on holidays and went for a pint in town in the Woodford. €4.95 for a pint of Bud. I can imagine paying that in Dublin but when did Cork get so expensive!!! Or is it just the Woodford?

    Cork has been expensive for a long time now. You will not get a pint in town for less that €4.40 Id say. Good few places do the increase the price after midnight as well. Which, for the record (possibly again) I have no problem with if you do not pay a cover charge. If it is too dear in a place you have the option of not going there.

    Anyway, The Woodford - awful spot.

    The woodford is a grand spot, decent beer selection . It is a bit too jointed on fri/sat night though, but cant say much about that.

    That is when I am talking about though. Never took to the place. It's also a hike to get to the toilets.

    I heard they do a great lunch so ill not be too harsh.

    I guess it's where you go as well. Currently living in Newcastle and can get really good beer for equivalent €3.75 a pint and can get okay beer in Weatherspoons for €2.35. Although I have also paid £4.90 for a pint there which is like £5.75!! Was in Dublin last week and went in for food and a pint and paid €16.20 for a burger, chips and a beer which costs £6.95 (£8.10) in Newcastle!! So half the price.

    I was out in the van running some errands for me da's company. I had to collect a few bits at a Builders Providers and drop it to a house.

    I got back to the factory after dropping off the bits and my dad asks "did you collect the plaster board I texted you about?"

    "No? What plaster board? What text" I said

    "Ah you're joking right?" he said

    "No seriously, I didn't get any text" as he starts getting his phone out

    "I did send it. Look 'please pick up a sheet of plaster board and' .... ah s**t I sent it to the last person I texted. Dammit I sent it to my chiropractor. The smartass replied 'Okay' ".

    4pm - 5pm on a Friday is scientifically proven to be the longest hour of the week.
