    Not always that easy if the last person who changed it went a bit overboard with the airgun.

    Also not a great idea if it happened on a bad stretch of road with poor visibility or limited space.

    I had a tyre blow out once on the M3 late evening. No chance was I gonna chance changing tyres with cars passing at 120 km/h+ in twilight . Was quite happy to wait for the big truck with all the amber lights. It's included in the insurance, so why not use it?

    Fair enough. I was thinking today 3 hours ago, decent visibility, car well in hard shoulder.

    I was at a very nice wedding a couple of years ago in a small country church in Laois.

    Here's an idea lads! Just move the rehearsal dinner to the main day, and make that your wedding breakfast!! Christ.


    Someone hasn't gotten over not being invited to the rehearsal dinner ;)

    A rehearsal dinner ? What’s so complicated about eating your dinner that there needs to be a rehearsal ? Hmmm ok, if there is jelly for dessert maybe, slippery and difficult...

    People get so smart and uppity about changing a tyre. I've seen two grown men struggle to get wheel nuts off a car and you expect a woman likely in heels to do that??

    Them little spanners they give you don’t work. You need a telescopic wheel nut spammer. The ones you get with your car bend when you try open a wheel nut that’s been put on with an air gun.

    I knew I'd be right to call someone out if it happened.

    Eh yes, every car owner should be able to do it, it's basic car maintenance. I've stopped to help people change tyres and shock horror I am also a woman.

    Huge money maker down the country. 400 guests average present 200 Euro a person present. 80 grand minus 30 grand wedding cost. Money making racket.

    They weren't very manly if two can't open a car wheel nut!! Kick of your heel on the wrench opens any nut.

    A lady is a different story. I agree.

    Honestly that's the going rate in my area and it's just middle Ireland.

    Are you city, town or country?

    I'm from the west. Haven't been to an awful lot of weddings last couple of years but would have thought 200e per couple was more in line the gift down this side rather than 200e per person.

    I suppose it varies. Even at an average of 100e per person. 400 guests, 40k and spend 15k on the wedding. 25k made. I'm Kilkenny and the invite the parish to the wedding is the whole go. It's mean out.

    A factor I'd find with women is varying degrees of strength. A 5ft slight girl would find it hard. A 5ft 10in 'well built' girl would have power.

    Exactly, how do you find a 5ft 4 woman with arthritis?

    So you're saying 400 people would be invited? That's madness no???

    Yeah that's about the going rate up here. Though a single person would feel obliged to put in 200.
    The only 400 people weddings I was at was big for 'business ' reasons.
    As in relations + a wide range of business associates that thought they needed to invite.
    Most would be 260-ish
