    Hugh font stickers in the back windows of cars like NISSAN. What was the story with them.

    Steering wheel covers.

    Seat covers made of beads. So you could slide under the dash really fast in the event of an accident I suppose.

    When I was in school (in Dublin) we used to call that a "Ballaghadreen" haircut. No idea why but it just sounded right to us.

    casual hitch hikers i.e. locals just going a few miles and hitching a lift. See some tourists with signs but nowhere near the volume from years past. Not sure if this is because of increased standards of living leading to more cars or people nervous about safety implications from both the hitchhiker and/or driver perspective.

    We get them a lt in Kilkenny & environs,

    Brown coloured cars

    The other day my mum asked me 'why all these horrible brown cars now?' There was a 142 Rav4 in front of us, awful light brownish colour. And who the fúck thought this colour was a good idea?
