    It depends on the age of the children. It's 1.actually illegal to send them off on their own to school below a certain age. Just like babysitting requirements. Not like years ago when we just fcuked off wherever we wanted and nobody really cared :D


    2.Ever drive on the M50 in the rain? I reckon in a 120 zone the average speed is around 50-60.


    1.Below what age? Link?

    2.Yes.

    My father used to drive a thirty miles per hour on country roads. In the Summer. And in Winter. In six inches of snow. On the latter days, the school bus was grounded and he couldn't do any concrete, so he'd be in the kitchen bored. So instead of having a day off school he'd drive me the eight miles or so, spinning the steering wheel and holding 'er sideways like Ari Vatanen. Of course I'd usually have a day off anyway 'cos most other people couldn't go anywhere, so we'd come rallying back again. Good days. :cool:

    Keep the shoe in, hi!!

    Ah Jim, I remember doing that myself, a certain quiet place, no cars for miles, when it was snowing/ice you could pull the handbrake and go for a real "spin":D
    and teach yourself to drive out of the skid.

    Jesus you're right.... I know there's supervision laws in childcare but apparently there's no minimum age at which you can leave a child alone :eek:

    In saying that, it's an offence to leave a child alone if it places them at risk and that's up to a court to decide.

    The way shops debit your account immediately when you buy something but when you return said item it takes days for the refund to hit account.

    Yes, I can just see the cases flooding in as reckless parents all over Ireland allow their children to walk to school with other children. Shocking stuff.

    Obviously, common sense is what's required. Nobody in their right mind is going to send a 4 year old off to cross a bypass to get to the local Gaelscoil :D

    Likewise when you make an online transfer to a different bank and the money is gone from your account immediately but doesn't hit the other bank for days. Where is it in the interim :confused:

    It's sitting with the bank making interest.

    Refunds have a different clearing process.

    Online transfers are in a offset balance until cleared. Nerds Rule.:cool:

    When traffic is all backed up and moving very slowly, yet there are always morons who can't resist moving as the traffic does even though it will place them slap, bang in the middle of the pedestrian traffic lights. They always get a glare!

    Giving a child a lift to avoid getting drenched by walking or cycling in the rain is contributing to childhood obesity... Fcuking lol.

    You really should read posts properly. It was clear that I was talking about people who drive their kids to and from school EVERY day. There are lots of kids who spend most of their time indoors sitting down as a result of being driven to school every day. A kid being driven to school in the morning, spending the school day indoors, being driven home after school and spending most of the evening sitting down indoors is chronically lacking in exercise.

    There is no valid excuse for allowing healthy able-bodied kids to be so sedentary. They're getting almost no exercise and no fresh air and that's bad parenting.

    I started a course of antibiotics yesterday and they leave a disgusting taste in the mouth, they also gave me some fairly trippy horrible nightmares last night too.

    And then you have to pay bank charges for that transaction which is making them interest :pac:

    Acidophillus capsules while you're taking the antibiotics will stop that. :)

    When two people talk to me at the same time. The height of fúcking ignorance. Up there with interrupting you when you are clearly talking to someone else. And talking about the weather. I refuse to talk about the weather now. I will just blank people. The masses of morons will learn eventually.

    I usually roar "This isn't a press conference!" at them!

    More annoyance: I had to go to the bathroom at work and because there was a guy in there emptying the sanitary bins, I had to use a toilet on a different floor. Which stank of death. I mean, what the fúck had the bitches up there been eating? I had to hold my breath for the duration of the wee/ wash hands cycle, and then nearly fainted into a manager's private office door on the way out. :mad:
