So much better than the usual Dominos grease I've had - was nicely full after it and it was really, really good!

I must try that place sometime

I liked Novacentos but I think I've been conditioned to prefer the greasy stuff from other pizza places

I've been saying it for ages - glad I finally took the plunge tbh!

The main difference I noticed was the difference in grease and heavyness

Dominos is alright every now and again but alot of the time I'll feel like shít after it

I love having a decent car - my old mazda would fog up and the ventilation was so poor it'd take a full twenty minutes to get rid of it!

The aul focus has it cone in seconds thesedays!

Actually noticed last night that diesel has gone more expensive than petrol - am I missing something or should that not have come in until the budget?

We were giving out about the same thing, according to pumps.ie, its because of higher demand in winter(home heating/power stations), which is fine, but its never gone over the price of petrol because of that before!

I don't mind too much tbh though because with Diesel you're still going to get better fuel economy.

I'm living closer to work, granted, but I've been in and out to work, college and had a return trip to Killarney and I still have a quarter of a tank - I filled the car almost four weeks ago I think - it's been so long I can hardly remember!!

Yeah - it tends to be a supply and demand thing with diesel. It used to be more expensive than petrol because they just didn't have the refining capacity. So many people have been duped into diesel cars with the current tax system I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner.

It's a 1.6 TDI focus - was getting 58mpg when I was travelling up and down to Killarney more frequently but short trips around Cork and less long journeys means I'm only getting around 51/52mpg at the moment.

Just checked there - it'll be a month on the 28th since I last topped up and still just under a quarter tank left

we went out to see the Christmas lights being switched on. great crowds for it - the English Market and Grand Parade were brilliant.
