    Whatever happened to not going against a TA, I was talking about a specific situation. I know the etiquette in London and always stand to the side. I’ve even witnessed a blind man nearly being pushed out of the way because his dog was standing beside him. This wasn’t London. I have an injury and can't climb steps easily, I was in an airport with a suitcase and standing to the side as much as I could. There was a stairs right beside it, if you want to climb, you could have used the stairs, otherwise be patient for a couple of seconds.

    When you hear the water flowing and you know the bathroom is going to be left like a disaster zone.

    Thinking of excuses to avoid the office Christmas party.

    That Dungarvan one you would die of boredom or old age if you didn't walk on it.

    "I don't wanna" is a perfectly valid reason. "I'm washing my hair" also works.

    Not if you are bald though 😜

    My TA… Number of sports teams across Europe now gifting over shirt space previously used for commercial advertising / revenue instead to ‘causes’. Saw it here with Bohemians but elsewhere clubs like Copenhagen FC and others besides. Giving two fingers to parents with families and other supporters who want to go to every home game for a few hour’s entertainment a month and it be affordable.

    Put on a movie and halfway through it turns to complete shite but I need to stick with it to see how it ends.

    Left the office today to go home, closed the door behind me and started to walk down the long dark spooky staircase to the front door. Let one of those farts that sounds like stepping on a squeaky floorboard in a haunted house.

    Get to the bottom and find there are two people standing in the really tiny alcove at the bottom in complete silence.

    And are these people who will laugh at a misplaced wind episode? Oh no, these are senior management from one of our foreign offices waiting for a taxi to their hotel.

    Why they squished themselves into a ridiculously tiny space and were standing there in total silence is my major TA, the fart entrapment is a secondary TA.

    Yeah that would be the common sense approach. I calculated with likely insurance increase over the 3 years as well probably around 360 Euro overall. Lose over 10 percent each year on the insurance plus the 160 fine.

    More annoyed at myself than anything, as it is a road I regularly travel. Would be less annoyed if it was an area that I wasn’t familiar with. I think I might have been singing, to the radio at the time! It will be easy listening for a while now anyway…..

    I thought about the controversy with the case about the Gardai/quashing speeding fines in Limerick. Probably not the best time to be testing the authorities patience.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Allowing a driver coming out of a side street have right of way and then they can't be bothered to acknowledge the courtesy.
