    No conclusion really. Was only for a couple of months, nice lady though, she was a tad older than me.

    One night we went to that club under the sports bar in Temple Bar, forget the name of it, she wore a tiny little top with "property of Angels" on it, 90% sure it also had Leeson Street in small writing under Angels too, not sure though..... them were the days :pac:

    A certain large motor shop with outlets all over the country has a wee booklet telling you what bulb sizes fit your motor.

    Mugs was in a rush, dashed in to get some taillight bulbs before a long trip today.

    Guide said 380..... There starts me trying to fit a 380 bulb into a hole where it just doesn't want to fit. I put the old bulb in to see if she sat the whole way into the lens and to clarify that I wasn't actually losing the plot when it fell inside the fecking lens.....

    Turns out the guide was wrong and I needed 270..... Bog all sleep + me in a rush = a blown bulb rattling around in the tail light lens and me two 380 bulbs up with no need for them. (welcome to anybody at the next meet) :D

    Pfft, I can count the amount of times I've drank in Temple Bar on one hand.
    I'm more of a local dweller.
    €25 a trip in a taxi? You can feck off!

    Pre smoking ban the old Leyland / Volvo buses were the biz. Get dropped off to the cinema by the folks, into the cinema, large orange into a large cup, lace it with Vodka and down the back of the bus with 10 JP Blue and into town only to generally get refused from every nightclub you could find and up in some stinking hole wrapped around some woman three times your body mass.....


    Jesus, I had a messed up youth.... :confused:

    I've had that problem before Mugs - just keep on forcing until you get it in. Initially it might be uncomfortable but once in it will be a pleasure. ;)

    Out of interest how old is your ride?

    Ok found out what I think is another symptom of my rough idle and buzzing noise from the Astra. The noise is only intermittent but now I think that it's only happening when I have the front and/or rear demistors on. The car vibrates a lot more when they are on and if you rev up the car when stationary with them on, when it drops below 1k revs to idling speed it vibrates a lot like it will conk only to rev itself up a bit to stop it from doing so. If you turn off the demistors this does not happen. The noise itself sounds like its coming from the alternator areaish but I never have anymore battery problems it starts perfectly all the time.
    Any ideas?

    Coil maybe :D

    Would those symptoms have something to do with the coil? I was thinking more fan belt etc.

    Maybe I'm too tired but I noticed this evening some very bright headlights. Worse were even brighter brake lights! :(

    I was behind an 09 Avensis in the city. Very, very bright brake lights. After being at a computer all day with naff all sleep I couldn't take it anymore and asked the driver to put on the handbrake when stopped in traffic for a while.

    If you are reading this, thank you for doing so, it meant a lot :)

    .... You could take off the belt and the engine won't be effected :)
    For a good while anyway :pac:

    Explain the logistics of that if you were behind them. Did you get out and go up and ask them?

    Boomerangs... Christ, that brings me back! Was one of the only places you actually didn't need ID to get in 10/12 years ago.

    I was in Buskers a few years ago as well for one of David Haye's fights. Place was jammed and there were actually some nice foreign women floating around, but plenty of dodgy 'parties' and hens/stags as well. It seems to be one of those spots, so I've had no inclination to go back since.

    A very bleary eyed and dazzled dgt got out and politely asked the driver :)

    I tried looking away, closing eyelids but couldn't avoid it. Maybe it was fatigue

    That's the first time I've ever did that btw. Those Avensis lights are vicious!

    The current model with the LED's? They're noticeable but there's worse out there IMO...
