    I got caught for speeding (31 mph in a 30 mph zone) once. Had to pay a hefty fine

    It's the red man they disregard not the green man.

    Green man means you can cross or not if you don't feel like it!

    Some speed limits (the silly ones)

    Some berk zones a cliffside one-laner in kerry at 100kph while the half-mile wide dead flat stretch close to me is zoned at 80kph?

    Well **** you, i'm ignoring that one.


    Also my reaction speeds after 2 pints are faster than that of a sober granny, yet i'm painted as a monstrous baby eater while she's the paragon of all virtue apparently.

    Again, bolloxs i ignore.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    What small laws do you break daily?

    They don't ignore the green man, they ignore the red one. People don't wait at the lights not crossing on a green.

    The RSA speed survey always shows that the vast majority of motorists break the speed limit (up to 98%).


    Did you know you can get a penalty point for driving on the white hatched lines ? I've never seen anyone avoid them at a busy right hand turn.




    I've infringed this patent many times

    I've also knowingly listened to pirated music

    Yeah, I do my best to avoid them but sometimes if everyone else is at it you need to fit in as well
    Should be treated like a solid island afaik

    Godwins law.
    I refuse to ever mention the Nazis, which is probably why I'm struggling with my history degree I suppose - but I have my principles, that's what matters.

    Are you trying to make a point? Because I'm completely lost with your last few posts.
