    Yip! Better make sure those pipes don't freeze up. Lag them well with 100 - 120 mm Armor flex foam where accessible and in the attic.

    I seem to have encountered only the useless ones in my various jobs.
    Anyway, that's for another thread in another part of the forum.

    Sorry to hear that, have a look at the buses website, there is some more services coming back (not much though) but it might not last as there's more snow on the way

    Wouldn't have a case with constructive dismissal. There is still public transport running and while roads can be dangerous if not driving safely they are not impassable. (Just going by reports on here). So if you have a rostered shift to start or end at a certain time the boss is well within his rights to ask you to work within those hours if the business remains open. If there was a declared state of emergency and a very real dangar you would obviously have a case if you walked out. Not siding with the boss as it's a poxy stance to take in the conditions that seem to be in Ireland at present.

    Lads i actually can't believe what i've just seen on RTE news!! it's UNREAL stuff!! I actually didn't think that the main roads were THAT bad - even from reading the RTE website there wasn't a huge major headline saying that the whole East coast is at a standstill or anything - which it is! Carlow town -"closed down" according to Damien Tiernan!

    When was the last time we had snow this bad? Of course it's like i'm living in another country down here but i'm thinking maybe i'm better off....(although would still like more snow:D)

    How's it looking for Friday? Cos if we get anymore the east will be banjaxed altogether!:D
