    ........ I am already cringing at my petrol bill :eek:

    €1.579/litre now :)

    Dublin to Bandon return at 30mpg would cost €85 ish :)

    €1.67 in my local Topaz on Glasnevin Ave, if I drove up to Ashbourne I could get it for €1.57 but sure waste of petrol then back and up!

    If it's not reasonable in Bandon two of the most reasonably priced petrol stations are a stones throw off the dual carraigeway, one is the Apple Green on Kinsale Road and the other the Texaco at the bottom of Forge Hill, the former has longer opening hours though the Forge Hill one is slightly less of a detour.

    Yes now back on topic ya brat ;)

    Funny story:

    We were down in Cork the weekend for a cruise, BBQ, bands and session. The woman was talking to a few of the local WAGS (lovely people). Anyhow it was late in the evening, all the cars were parked up and we were full of soup. One of the WAGS says to my woman: 'Which one is yours?', to which my woman answers: 'The black Trans Am over there'. The lady turns around to her and says: 'No', pointing at the group of lads, 'which one of them is yours?'!

    Gotta love 'em! :)

    I have an AA fuel card and I kinda just stick to the Topaz garage cos of that but I will need to snap out of that if there is cheaper petrol to be had!

    Jaysus, Bandon is some way to go for that kind of action.

    The lengths people will go to for cheaper petrol!

    After I read the first part of your post, I thought you were reffering to something else. :D

    i am so tired now lads. ill be off to bet i guess. i need to wake up at 4:00 tomorrow for work and i had a very long day!

    I should ban you for not making a bigger deal about this! You should have a big victory/new car thread!

    Looks absolutely savage man!

    5 + 1 = 6

    I certainly won't make this one. I drove to Cork and back in the T/A last weekend plus a 20 mile cruise down there. Cost me €180 in juice alone! :eek:

    Worth it :cool:

    My lady decided to call it a day yesterday evening. The worst, gutting, sinking feeling I had experienced in ages. My mind still isn't straight yet! I was fairly angry at the whole thing, but ended up waking up at 5.30 this morning bawling my head off. How pathetic of me eh :rolleyes:

    So to clear my head, I thinks a good spin up to Dublin for a tramp around the city is on order. Keep a look out for a crappy beat up blue Bravo van! :D

    Worst thing is going to be reserves, as thats how we know each other and how we met. I feel like I can't go back to that now! :(

    Blue van has to go, can't look at it now, I got it about a month after I met her you see and lots of personal stuff went on inside... Looking foreward to the 406! :D

    While working today I was silently going "bo-bo-bo" and if I would go somewhere I would increase the rapidness of "bo-bo-bo"! :D I am such a dork, I know, FU!!! I am happy!!! :D

    Now drove home. I was driving so gentle that i only heard dump valve go of just a few times. My ears were busy having sex with boxer engine sound. They should record that stuff on CDs and sell it as music!!!! :D

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,985 ✭✭✭✭dgt


    Cheers people, I find comfort talking about it :)

    A confusing, maddening and saddening situation... Many tears shed though :(

    The only thing keeping interest in reserves now is a driving course and the pnco course I'm on. Yep, I'm one of those people :p but I won't be able to look at her in the same way I used to! :(

    Still tramping around the city, currently around Ballsbridge. This is giving me time to clear my head :)

    Fear not people, the sop sop will stop soon enough :D

    Look on the bright side dgt with all the money you'll now save you can start looking at some fine sports cars to take away the pain :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,844 ✭✭✭Jimdagym


    F*ck her dgt. If you are half as sound in the real world as you are on here, then its her loss.



    I have to stop playing the "How-many-times-can-I-make-the-traction-control-system-kick-in-on-the-way-home?" game. Seriously, I am going to die :pac:
