i did a back of the envelope calculation of @Mac costs here and am wondering why he is seething this much

Oversized SUV €48,000
Tax €700

My understanding was this would form part of the new Metro station there.

the dodgy draw at the end of the vid wouldnt look out of place a a club lotto draw

30 minutes to Paddington versus 15 on Heathrow Express but you are joined up with rest of tube so seems a no brainer to get that

Also a fraction of the price presumably?

Some very unsavoury scenes from a viddo on dublin bus today. The abuse is disgraceful.

What chance does that child have ?

Fuck all. Unfortunately

Delightful random meeting with @Funtime on a southbound DART. He was telling me he used to turn on the kettle 10 minutes BEFORE he wanted a cup of tea and would then come back and turn it on again so the water would boil quicker for him. He says he’s stopped doing this lately and it’s a simple energy saving and bill reducing technique (cc @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy).

I would say the kettle in the auld pair’s house is boiled every 30 minutes between the hours of 6am and 11pm for fear someone would be stuck waiting for a pot of tea. Finucanes guaranteed a new kettle sale roughly every 18 months.

It was indeed a pleasant meeting , if initially somewhat unsettling given @Bandage appearance ; his running has given him a dramatic weight loss and matched with what is quite a tight haircut and leisurewear themed attire he is now one of those guys that you have to wait till he opens his mouth to judge if he is a junkie with an aggressive forehead selling yokes or a pillar bank financier with a passion for athletics. He didn’t have any yokes.

And CIE the cunts want us peninsulans to get off the train at this bear pit and wait for a shuttle to Howth.

hope they end up in jail

In the last couple of days I have seen people bring electric bikes and electric scooters on to the dart. What’s the point of these fucking things if you have to bring them on the train.

And another thing I’ve noticed is people spreading things out on the seat like it’s a home office and tap tapping on the laptop to their hearts content and they pulling bits of paper from the laptop bag that of course they have on the seat beside them because their work is too important to be disturbed by one of the great unwashed sitting beside them. Cunts. What’s wrong with taking 20 minutes out of your day and just watching the world go by.

Think people like the laptop head are using Covid to their advantage to commandeer two seats. I’ve seen people choose to stand rather than sit side by side.

Although it did backfire recently when an under the bed merchant in full medical mask was asked to remove her bag by another woman. She refused to mumbling some Covid fears.

The other woman was having none of it and sat on her bag with the Covid fearing one now trying to remove it from under her arse.
Other woman said if she was so fearful she should be driving or getting a taxi to her destination. It ended quite frostily and nasty.

Fairly obvious I would have thought?
