Fucking cunts. We crawled all the way from Móinín na gCíse to claregalway today in a traffic jam. At 4pm FFS sake.
Epic mugging.

Little over a month ahead of my big move, I’m aiming to conquer Galway by 2019, moving into palatial quarters and becoming a revered figure in the city.

Nothing I could do KP. Had to go there. The centre of Galway Fuckedness. I was surprised at having to sit in traffic all the way to Claregalway though.
Don’t do it, pal.

What in bertie’s balls brought you out towards Claregalway? Where were you headed for?
Claremorris at the moment. Much nicer than I expected to be honest.
Next time try the Headford Road. Or even head out to Carnmore and continue out the Monivea Rd. until you meet the R347 (at Cussaun Cross), then hang a left for Tuam. At least you’ll keep motoring. Claregalway is a cunt for traffic.

Hanley’s is a decent boozer
Grand town. Nice food in the Old Arch hotel.
Are you in the Macwilliam?
It never ceases to amaze me how lads will sit in traffic jams & complain, all the while ignoring to turn off & take a byroad.

Yes. Hit the food store in town for dinner. It’s a deli style place with gorgeous food. Shit name though. Well worth a visit.

Fair enough. Not being familiar with the route and not expecting a 15 km tailback at 4pm led us to believe there must be an accident. As it happens it seems Clare galway is the accident.

Are you going to become King of the Crusties, mate?
Bare-knuckle boxing champ at the Ballinasloe Horse Fair.
I’ve had some fairly hairy moments on the backroads east of Claregalway, juggling Google maps on a phone with very limited battery, a steering wheel and the second half of a breakfast roll.

The byroads round Galway are often awful one and a half track affairs.
Bring electricity, that should do it.
