I'm back!!!

    Hi guys,

    I was Irish and Proud and now back with a new name. I felt for quite some time that my former alias gave a wrong impression of being right wing and anti foreign national - I'm actually left wing and totally condemn fascism. With such rearing its ugly head from time to time, I felt the need to ditch 'Irish and Proud', although I very much like my country.

    My name is now Middle Man - one reflection is my views on gender equality which is very much 50/50 - people are people and I don't believe in any preferential treatment on the basis of gender. I condemn both extremes of feminist domination and male macho-ism - both these are IMO childish and I've absolutely no time for it. In terms of transportation, 'Middle Man' would be a fair reflection of my viewpoints on modal share - I believe integrated transport thinking is what we need, not car bashing or any other partisan or political nonsense.

    I hope to contribute positively to the discussions here as felt I've done for the most part under the 'Irish and Proud' banner. Wish me luck!

    Welcome back, Middle Man, as long as it doesn't reflect the lane you always want to drive in!

    Very good man! :D

    No, I hate those - especially when they're crawling along and I have to move 2 lanes to safely overtake.

    Why didn't you subscribe for a short period of time (using your old name) and put in a name change request then your new name would be linked to your existing posts.

    Should remember that for next time - I did search for ways to change name and didn't think there was any option for doing so, so I just closed the account.

    Many thanks!

    Don't worry, there'll be plenty from me about roads - especially when the next hair brained traffic calming idea rears it's ugly head. It shouldn't be too long before I'm down along the N11 where I can report whatever progress is being made on the Arklow to Rathnew scheme. Hopefully that M17/N18 scheme will get off the ground next year and you'll probably hear plenty from me on it.
