    Their seems to be a fair amount of traffic in this forum so how's about a random / off-topic thread for everyone for chit-chat and what-not?!

    It could be a good place for people to get to know each other outside of the main specific threads being started :)

    What are your thoughts?

    I hope so. There has been talk of them for years, possibly there was one once I don't remember and then it died down again.

    THats good alright but Im driving diesel. ;). 153 the cheapest Ive seen for diesel
    THe cheapest I see around is the amber station at mallow side of Charleville.
    Fuel seems slightly cheaper in last week or so. Be great if it dropped a lot more:D

    I only ever use Topaz fuel country-wide! B'great if there was some consistently around though. Topaz in parts of Kerry have been 170 for weeks for PETROL, diesel then 159.9, another positive for Mallow there :)

    That sulkie-race was shocking alright wasn't it! Thread on it over in AH going strong.

    I feel sorry for the people on the Cork-Mallow road last Saturday though that did have to encounter it, certainly not what you could reasonably expect to encounter on a national road. Investigations under-way now and it's good to have some quality video-footage of car registrations and faces of some of those present on that stretch of road last Saturday :)
