    It's to stop the inbred locals from escaping the place and embarrassing the country


    Whenever they try to get out they are told to just keep walking around the bendy road until they get far away.



    After a few hours of going around in circles they usually give up and go back to where they started by walking around it in reverse direction for another few hours

    There aren't any locals in Portlaoise, it's now fully populated by Dubs.

    That's a pity. I think the Laois people are unique.

    You're Lucan in the wrong thread

    Milton Keynes..... what a mess

    Locals reckon if you have a car there for too long it'll start to lean over as your suspension wears unevenly going in circles all day.

    And the whole place looks the same.

    Boredom city.....

    Company I work for are based there. It's a kip without any redeeming features.

    I don't mind roundabouts. The Walkinstown one is grand. You're in your lane and you know where you're going. When there is no traffic coming to your right then off you go.

    And even if there is traffic coming to your right and you don't want to be stuck waiting for a break just stick the nose out a little. Those kind of roundabouts aren't for hesitancy and faffing about.

    Looks like we are going around in circles on this one

    If I get to know your name, well, if I could trace your private number, baby. All I know is that to me, you look like you're lots of fun. Open up your lovin' arms I want some, want some
