So, who's striking today? Which Side are You On

Bus Eireann obviously noticed this as well. There’ll be interviews with affected commuters today I bet.

Does this mean that a few Jackeens will now be affected?

The 123 was running there earlier and the 41. Pickets at Summerhill bus garage. Traffic beginning to build up now and a lot of bikes on the road.

Problem with this is you end up with a cunt like Branson getting the contract, and upping the fare every couple of months. Any non profitable routes, he’ll then whine, and threaten to pull out, and Hey presto,more subsidy. The taxpayer/traveller gets it in the neck all ends up.

Ciaran Cuffe’s plan is working like a charm.

If you looked at it logically you wouldn’t necessarily want the people charged with getting 80 people around a busy city or up and down a motorway at 100 kph in a 20 tonne vehicle to be the lowest paid workers in society.

Agree absolutely. It’s a stressful nightmare of a job I’d say. They deserve a decent wage.

Spirit of the blitz evident here in Dublin as the redoubtable jackeens pedal or hoof it to the dole offices and methadone clinics.

Traffic has been bedlam in Galway the past few days, so much so that I was involved in a heated exchange yesterday evening with a lady in traffic.

The head of NBRU was on the radio this morning and he said he knew nothing about the escalation and that it hadn’t be organised or instructed by him.

Is that just bluster that he needs to say in order to cover himself?

Hard to know but a Cork accent doesn’t seem right for s Union boss . It needs a Dublin accent . Also he doesn’t have a beard .

I’m glad to report that the strike hasn’t spread to TMB and all services are running as normal in Barcelona today

Is there a Tooting in Cork ?

They aren’t.

I’m sure she went away much enlightened as to the superiority of Ulster football.
