@Bandage please ban this cunt for obsessively spamming the thread with the same picture for the past 8 hours. We get it, it’s snowing in Cork.

That’s beautiful.

There’s a whole pretentious Irish Times Weekend Magazine column to be written about that, with the frozen car park serving as a metaphor for life, or, alternatively, I don’t know, eh, something.

I’m in Cork South Central.

6 baskets of timber in the house and a wheelbarrow chopped and ready out in the shed. Not a loaf of bread in the house though, I’ve a pack of Bunsters™ and a few slices of ham if we go full post-nuclear.

Don’t be stuck pal. I have plenty here and would never see anyone without.

iron_mike · February 28, 2018, 6:28pm

Tassotti · February 28, 2018, 6:33pm

Brimmer_Bradley · February 28, 2018, 6:35pm

Anyone else suffering from weather alert fatigue.
This is dragging on since last Saturday now and still no action.
I’ve enough of it now.

Tassotti · February 28, 2018, 6:36pm

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · February 28, 2018, 6:38pm

odd that nobody ever heads over there to meet you

backinatracksuit · February 28, 2018, 6:44pm

carryharry · February 28, 2018, 6:45pm

anon61956325:

Women are much more cautious drivers - I presume that’s what @Sidney meant – I dnt think you can really say one sex is a better driver over the next.

My main complaint with women on the road is that the majority of them are not great for letting other drivers out and will just plough on - they are not obliged to, but it’s common decency — I was at a junction looking to turn right last night, had been there for ages - traffic eased up coming from my right and the on coming car from the left was turning right into my junction — she had a long line of traffic behind her and could easily have flashed me and sent me on my way and then turned right herself-- not a hope, she ploughed on as did the woman behind her going straight only for the next driver, male, to stop and flash me to go and he followed on behind me… its a regular thing with women, they are not obliged but they are oblivious to those kinds of things by and large… i let a number of fucks out of me when she didnt let me out… Brady had just farted in the car also.

Wait until you get to the stage of dropping off and picking up kids to and from school. Bring a good book.

I lost control of the car this morning, she skidded left at the cross roads, around 4 foot from the door of the pub. I nearly went over a bypass another year and, wrote off the car. A hedge another year, had to be towed out. me and snow not good.

backinatracksuit · February 28, 2018, 7:01pm

Sounds like you’re a poor driver mate

artfoley · February 28, 2018, 7:09pm

It’s code red when @anon26343222 is behind the wheel.

TreatyStones · February 28, 2018, 7:13pm

I text my father to see were they ok as the radio advised to check on the elderly. He text me back “fuck off” .

Horsebox · February 28, 2018, 7:15pm

He hates you too so.

TheUlteriorMotive · February 28, 2018, 7:15pm

Once it is Code Red then it gets iffy for employers to open - duty of care etc especially if public transport is shut down.

TheUlteriorMotive · February 28, 2018, 7:16pm

A beautiful relationship. He’d be proud of you today if he saw the respect your weather pronouncements have commanded.
