… One to mention to a councillor next time they are knocking on doors, or take a picture and email to them?

I thought there was some council provision for getting onto homeowners to cut back stuff hanging over paths.

I was talking to a customer service rep in a car hire company and I asked if my chosen car category had cruise control. He didn't know what cruise control is and said he never heard of the term. How the f*ck can a person working for CAR HIRE company have never heard of cruise control before. It's just baffling.

Even worse when thick hedges, bushes etc are hanging out so far that they obstruct your view up the road so it's a risk to try to make a right turn on to a main road.

Councils couldn't care less

in hindsight I think I had Covid but didn’t test.

It's the property owners responsibility in fairness. Not to say the council maintain public property perfectly either.

In theory councils have powers to nudge the property owners, especially roadside obstruction issues

The ones I'm talking about are public footpaths with no houses near.

To be fair, it's mostly in Derry I see this, so it's Derry City Council I'm getting at.

Constant "this clip contains strong language" or "this clip contains disturbing scenes", when they contains neither.

Latest one is Trump cursing on the Indo site. Except you don't hear a curse, it's bleeped out.

And the disturbing scenes cones now are basically anything. Years ago you might have seen a dead body in the clip, now you watch it and think, "where was the disturbing scene?".

Last Christmas my mother wanted me to get something nice for my father (A Galwayman) since he was near 80. She told me to look for tickets for a Saw Doctors show.

I then decided to get ones for summer concert in Fairview Park, as a fall back. Only problem is I didn't check GAA dates it clashes with the All Ireland Football QF on Saturday. Dublin v Tyrone.

I am a long time Dublin fan. Will miss the match now. The worst part is that I won't be able to steer clear of the result and watch it later. As Fairview Park is near Croke Park. I am bound to hear the result or even see the body language of fans.

The fecker of an auld fella is already winding me up telling me. “Sure you will hear the roar in Croke Park”
