That's not what I said, though?

I said, with very dark tints, to reverse at night in a poorly lit area you'd need to lower your window to see the wing mirror clearly.

I am not sure I understand the difference!:)

From 1 o clock tomorrow I'll be off for a week and a bit. It'll be the longest 5 hour shift ever. Straight down to mitchelstown for indiependence then

I got cut up by a nutter in a ka in drumcondra, who then caused havoc trying to go in and out of the bus lane

And the cops thought a checkpoint just off exit three of the M1 at sixo'clock was a good idea, they caused tailbacks on the M1

5 hour shift sure that's not a job at all :pac: Or are you in one of these places where you get an early finish on a Friday.

Its still too long :P Im meant to be off this week too. Normally it's 8 to half 3 of a Friday but we're technically "shut down" for two weeks. Only a few of us in this week so the boss said he wants us gone by 1 tomorrow. I didn't complain

Was at it a few years back, I swear there was people got hypothermia at the outdoor stages... weather doesn't look much better this year but line up is good!
