Only today do I, as a resident of the peninsula of Howth, feel able to commit to publishing my thoughts on the death of gay Byrne.
Some have expressed their pain and grievance over the last days but none outside of peninsula dwellers @Rocko@Fagan_ODowd and I can appreciate the depth of mourning and grief that comes when the passing of the broadcasting giant.
Others may take cheap shots at gay but a fullsome appraisal demands a robust defense:
He may have been extremely west Brit leaning in his political outlook (borderline Labour Party), but he was always punctual, and that shouldn’t be underestimated .
He may have been a condescending puppet of the elites, but to be fair to him he had a broad range of ties that matched well with a selection of shirts
While he showed scant regard for cyclists in his role in the rsa it should be noted that he was rarely absent from work.
So please keep him in your thoughts this month, don’t fret about the time Adams destroyed him first interview post censorship or the fact that his greed and poor business judgement led him to take roles that sullied his reputation . May the peninsula and all who dwell upon her remember him well. Rip gay Byrne
Looks like a Honda CRV from what I can make out, they should have an electric handbrake. Only reason one mightn’t auto brake is if the car wasn’t placed in Park if an automatic?
Edit, on closer inspection I thinks it a Hyundai IX35 which mightn’t have an electric handbrake
I’ve nearly got caught a few times forgetting to pull up the handbrake in my van because of the auto brake lock thingy that holds for around 5-10 seconds when you stop.
