Jesus you'd all love me. Cycling up from the Dublin bikes stand on Nassau st for 20 ft to save going all around merrion sq to get to the green!:pac:

Best way to find driving rat runs is a bike and a map!:D

And I love to jaywalk!

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

At least you stay away from Merrion Square.:pac:

It's the Dublin bikes creatures I target most.

At least the twats in lycra have some level of cop on most of the time.

This past few weeks however, random pedestrians have been getting on my nerves.

Sounds like you're just grumpy:D

Wheras I'm like a zen master behind the wheel:p

( that may or may not be because I live in the arsehole of nowhere and there are no cyclists and in paris pedestrians are very careful)

No I am rather grumpy when I have to repeatedly stop to accommodate idiots.

I tend to internalise the rage however

Ironically my first thoughts were, "how is he going to get out of the car?" :pac:

You can be my parking friend too

I was put off by the millions of people standing around my space like sheep !

(Thanks for guarding my space for me midway sheeps )

Also love the way dad zeb moved like 20 feet to protectively stand beside his car lol

There are often two, me and another person.

However, us workers start early, and are well gone before marauding students make their way into the city to gawp at our cars while walking with abandon or cycling the wrong way up the street, ignoring traffic lights

I'm usually there about 40% of workdays

Who knew what you were going to do next and I wanted to be there as a nice soft buffer if something went wrong :pac:

It is a nerve racking parking situation though!

On st or off street.
I'll be walking around merrion square tomorrow to see if I can see a gtv! That's like 10% of the gtv's registered in this country in a small confined area!:pac:

Yea i didn't know he was that close either, fecking french parking or wha ?

Abit of Performance blue on the back bumper would only add to the alfa's sporting heritage anyway !

It was a fairly large turnout and the bmw's parked badly so took up most of the space.

I drive bigger things than the ST at work unfortunately, was my 3rd time reversing into the spot, should have just ran over a few people so as to insure a nice open swing the next time around :pac:

A 535d was parked arseways all day, but a lovely 530d was parked gracefully within the lines all day

We'll send you out in a micra to practice I think

My favorite parking of the day was when "cianRyan" parked dgt's 406 and dgt just says to him "just park it as badly as you car, the more spaces the better"

We were limited on spaces as nobody parked within 2 spaces of MM's car out of sheer terror so the alfa's levin and my Focus all huddled together between that which shall not be marked beside and the crazy parking "im taking up 2 spaces bmw's"

That "Cianryan" is a well spoken fellow, didn't even flinch as we one wheeled it around a roundabout in search of the fourth dimension.

We have an MM in work, I'm not joking you, you could run his wife over and you'd be safer than if you hit his car!

If MM ever see's the mistake you made reading my post you will be hunted down

No cleveland's car was left at oblique angles all day

(I said 535d, not 335i )

Cian ryan? ah yeah does the job nicely
