Coming in the coast road there earlier. Needed a fill of petrol. Drove past the Maxol and the Circle K because they were too expensive. Headed for the Campus on the East Wall Road because the petrol is 5c a litre cheaper there. Took the turn for the station slightly too early and smashed the front wheel off the kern and made shit of the wall of the tyre. Itās cost me about 90euro to save ā¬1.20.

I just got the call about a clutch replacement for the wagon. I canāt type out the price as it would nearly make me cry.
It reminds me that saying

I felt sorry for a lad who had to cycle to his rural home outside cork city on a damp evening last year so I told him hop in the van, after dropping him off he directed me up some Boreen as a short cut back , half way up the road I hit the biggest pothole in my life, fucked the tyre so here I am changing a wheel in the rain while yer man is prob sitting toasting himself by the fire watching tv

We got a new fella in at work today and he shares every thought as it comes into his head.
I hadnāt (unlike others) the heart to give your sorry tale a like.
A man with your prosaic talents could have regaled us with a yarn of spotting the old doll from SuperValu as you were about to turn in and hence the bit of misfortune.
PMā¦.
Stay away from that M50 will you for gods sake.
Is petrol one of the only things that Irish people give a fuck about price at that miniscule a level ? Imagine you were buying a pair of jeans for 60 quid and someone told you they were 58.80 in a shop ten minutes drive away. Not a hope youād bother your hole.
Price of a pint is another one with fellas drinking in some shit hole to save 20c a pint or max two euro over the course of a night. They then spend 12 euro in the chipper and 15 quid on the taxi home and tell the driver to keep the 20.

I think its because the price is emblazoned up on a big sign that you can easily see and drive beyond, muttering fuck him and his 1.57 the greedy cunt, yer man down the road is 1.55

Thinking Fast and Slow explains this - weāre prisoners of our minds really
Itās not that difficult to keep an eye on the price though. Itās generally the same places that are decent value. So over the course of the year, making sure you usually use lower priced places saves a fair bit, particularly if youāre driving round the country in the Berlingo half the year.
