But he never gets there! :pac:
A lorry driver I know, only has to walk down his driveway to start work, he brought his work home each week. He does one of those long European routes.

About 80 miles in and 12 miles to and from where I stay over.

About 80 miles each way, takes about an hour and a half. Have to pay two tolls though which is a pain!

10km each way and takes on average 15mins

Before the motorway and tunnel were built, that would be close to a two and a half to a three hour each way commute given that back then the Dock road in Limerick was where all traffic taking that route had to go as well as the local traffic using that road.

So five to six hours driving to and from work each day? Yuck.

Early 90's I use to commute 230 Km between Pine Creek and Darwin every morning on a maintenance shutdown contract. It would take a little over 2 hours and a slab of green cans between the four of us including the driver.

I walk to work, mainly because I work at home and can't get the car through the front door.

How many points on your licence?

ISS travels at an average speed of 27,744 km per hour.

Due to the weightlessness of space, dust does not settle down, it just floats around. Because of this, astronauts aboard the ISS sneeze about 100 times a day!

Another bad thing about living aboard the ISS is that every time someone farts or the like, that air has nowhere to go. Also, given the tight quarters and limited bathing facilities, body odor tends to be rampant. There are filters that try to clean up the smelly air, but astronauts frequently report that the first thing you notice when opening the air lock to the ISS is the bad smell.

None. You don't see many cameras around these parts.

No sir-eee.

Blanchardstown to the city centre. Sounds easy ? There is a Bosco's school on the Navan road seems to have 1 child per car blocking both lanes getting in and out of the school. 1 hour and 30 minutes it takes when the school is open.

I commute from Dublin to Sydney every morning, there's nothing like that feeling you get for a hard day's work after a 10,000 mile flight....

Has Sydney moved?
