There is a tunnel under a railway bridge 100 meters from our house and at the end of the tunnel is a zebra crossing. Not the best location as cars speed through that tunnel.
There are also no streetlights by the crossing and just a few small lamps in the tunnel so it’s close the pitch dark
Yet again tonight someone nearly got knocked down as a speeder slapped on the breaks while the pedestrian was halfway across
TA’d at our no good lazy council who flood our letterbox with flyers on every topic but they can’t give us a streetlight or some flashing amber lights. Nobody lives there , no light will shine into a house if that was an issue
Oops long post sorry. Anyway my TA. I’ll write another email. Probably goes straight to trash

I would make a point of sending that photo to your local Co Co and get in touch with the press. It looks like a deathtrap to me.
You could save someone's life. It mightn't be a drivers' fault either, that looks a shítshow altogether, what county are we talking about?0 -

I'm annoyed with......TIME....or more the fact of how quick it goes.
Sitting here inside in work and reminiscing of being younger and me and my siblings playing on my dad's back during the summer, only feels like yesterday. In the blink of an eye it's gone from having a strong dad who played with us to a frail father who we now look after.
My parents are living by themselves now, gone are the days of they having 7 children with them and the home been a hive of energy. It seems to have happened in a blink of an eye.I grew up with 5 sisters and 1 brother in a 3 bedroomed house, laughs...fights...tears...but 9 of us always there, now we very rarely spend time together, our own families have taken us over but it doesn't stop me from thinking of the great family time we had when we were younger and sometimes wishing we could go back to those times.
I'm 48 now and before people tell me I'm still young I know that but that does not stop the time going too fast. I've 3 chicks and when I look at photos from a few years ago I can't stop thinking of how the time is flying. I'm watching my chicks getting older and I'm dreading the time where I can't carry them on my back, hence I'm always messing and playing with them, cos I dread the day when I look at them and realise I'm not able too anymore. It's not right that it's going to fast.
Dam you Time!
Apologies for the rant folks...move along now.
Just for you

Imagine if the name was actually Caroline and she was making an eejit out of herself

Yesterday while queuing up at the express checkout where the server was on her own with a long queue of people, a manager comes along and holds up everything by interrupting her to get €150 in €10 notes.
Today is was some bint with a big fistful of money off vouchers causing a big hold up at the checkout. She was adamant that she had €27 worth of vouchers while the checkout girl said she had €22. When the back and forth bickering finally ended and the bint left I shoved all my shopping into my bags in a foul temper and stormed off. This is at least the 5th time something like this has happened in the last month. I wouldn't even bother going to the Dunnes in question anymore if it wasn't only 2 minutes from my house The Lidl is at the other side of town but I'll do most of my shopping there instead from now on. Middle aged/elderly auld wagons and s big pile of money off vouchers are a nightmare combination.
The reason why I tend to avoid Dunnes Stores completely! Every time I go in I get stuck behind someone with a fistful of money off vouchers for different dates, trying to figure out which ones to use. That or the cashier saying to them, "you're up to 87 now, if you spend another 13 you can get a tenner off" - cue the person wandering off to continue shopping. I also think the whole voucher thing is a complete false economy, designed to get people to spend more. it alone is a TA never mind the f*cking stress it causes for everyone.0 -

Apologies for the rant folks...move along now. I know what you mean. I have amazing memories of my dad playing with us at the beach during the summer, where he would cup his hands together and bend down so we could stand on his hands (how small were our feet then?!) and jump over his shoulder into the waves. Or telling us bed time stories. They always trumped stories being read, and there would regularly be cliffhangers too. We only realised as adults that his avoidance of reading to us had something to do with his lack of formal education and his dyslexia. He is still the smartest person I know. In the last year he has had two major surgeries and a mini stroke. Still, we are lucky to have him and I am cherishing all of our time together. He has gone super soft since I told him he is going to be a granddad, and is being over protective father again, despite his age.
TA no matter how long we have our loved ones it is never enough!
Also TA being teary in work now!
