    It only took me an unbelievable 45mins from Blanchardstown to Sutton, but I left at 9.00. All the people that left at 4.00 spent about 3 hours in the car.

    This is what the N3 at Blanch looks like this morning, it was only covering half the road at 9.00 last night....

    It is. That's the 38 stuck on the bridge with the lights that ONLY GO GREEN FOR 10 SECONDS :mad: then take 3 mins to cycle through all options before you move another five feet closer to the junction. I worked out that I spend nearly a day sitting on that bleedin bridge ever year.

    Unfortunately I got caught in the heaviest downpour of the day, had to physically ring out my clothes they were so wet.

    It's a wonder I don't have pneumonia tbh.

    The biologists were delighted to glimpse such rare specimens of automobilus aqueous swimming freely about.
