Kojak

I commute from Dublin to Sydney every morning, there's nothing like that feeling you get for a hard day's work after a 10,000 mile flight....

PseudoFamous

I walk about 700m to my bus stop, bus for 72km, walk for just under 2km. It's a journey..

On a motorway maybe...

63 miles around here is the equivalent of driving to the moon and back twice.

MrJoeSoap

Used to drive from Waterford to Clontarf for 2/3 days a week for a little while. Leaving Dunmore East at 4am to be in for 7am on a 125cc motorbike in the lashing rain.

Cardinal Richelieu

By far the worst commute was a truck driver I knew who lived just over the border in Galway who drove to Dublin in his car, did a shift driving his truck at night delivering to Supermarkets all over the country so could be pretty near home, dropped the truck off back in Dublin then drove home back to Galway. 4 days on 4 days off doing that shift. All I can say is the guy must have loved driving.

Yakult

A maths teacher in my old secondary school used to drive an hour and a half each way. He was a weird guy.

the fact that it takes over 12 hrs. of flight to even get to sydney from dublin puts a big whole in that story so would take over 24 hrs to get back to dub without doing any work ...
dreaming off being superman flying around the world is not a commute to work my friend:)

studdlymurphy

72 miles each way it takes on average 70 minutes each way and its 12 hour shifts which makes for a long day.

When you spend 4 hours a day on a bus you finish a lot of books.

A lorry driver I know, only has to walk down his driveway to start work, he brought his work home each week. He does one of those long European routes.

Before the motorway and tunnel were built, that would be close to a two and a half to a three hour each way commute given that back then the Dock road in Limerick was where all traffic taking that route had to go as well as the local traffic using that road.



So five to six hours driving to and from work each day? Yuck.

yep, jesus but did it hurt...herself was pregnant at the time with our first and wasn,t the easiest pregnancy so didn,t want to leave her on her own..many a night i got caught on the dock road in traffic...thank god for the tunnel now.

Run_to_da_hills

Early 90's I use to commute 230 Km between Pine Creek and Darwin every morning on a maintenance shutdown contract. It would take a little over 2 hours and a slab of green cans between the four of us including the driver.

ejmaztec

I walk to work, mainly because I work at home and can't get the car through the front door.

ISS travels at an average speed of 27,744 km per hour.

Due to the weightlessness of space, dust does not settle down, it just floats around. Because of this, astronauts aboard the ISS sneeze about 100 times a day!

Another bad thing about living aboard the ISS is that every time someone farts or the like, that air has nowhere to go. Also, given the tight quarters and limited bathing facilities, body odor tends to be rampant. There are filters that try to clean up the smelly air, but astronauts frequently report that the first thing you notice when opening the air lock to the ISS is the bad smell.

None. You don't see many cameras around these parts.

No sir-eee.

i know a fella who drives cork to galway and return every day.. madness !

Blanchardstown to the city centre. Sounds easy ? There is a Bosco's school on the Navan road seems to have 1 child per car blocking both lanes getting in and out of the school. 1 hour and 30 minutes it takes when the school is open.
