    Out of curiosity what would be supposed to happen. You get the bus home and never get behind the wheel of a car again.

    You push the car you arrived in home, obviously.

    What I find gas is that, at the moment we have first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth year and fourth year was only brought in a few years ago.

    Before that we had first to third and then fifth to sixth. Only in Ireland would they think to invent a system like that which skipped a number than be, "Oh sh!t, we'll fill it in later..."

    So he gets let off for driving a Turbo Diesel? Good to know ...

    Navigation by Pub: instead of street names, people give you directions relative to pubs. Great if you're a pub-going local, not so great if you're a foreigner who drinks about twice a year. A few years ago my GP sent me to a clinic for an x-ray on my neck:
    "What's the address of the clinic?"
    "It's next to 'The Barge' on the Grand Canal."
    "Um ... " :o

    Government resting upon the will and universal suffrage of the people has no anchorage except in the people's intelligence.

    Drunk people regularly urinate in public in the middle of the day without bothering to try to find an out-of-the-way place to do so.

    Ireland ... Only place where Gay Byrne could be president and where a bobby dazzler like Enda is Taoiseach.... And where a party can ruin a country and still get enough votes to keep a foot in the door!

    Any things you can think of that would only happen in Ireland?
    The government funding drug habits and in all possible (mainly financial) ways supporting scumbags and junkies who happily infest the city.

    But sure it's all grand...
