    On driving I rear ended someone in 2006 nothing overly serious in my eyes but claim was settled only recently. €45k with total cost over €100k as her husband as claimed for the car I damaged as he owned it.

    The car was written off after the chassis was found to be out by 0.88mm. Yes that's correct, unreal.

    I had two cars at that time a 2003 1.4 3dr Corolla and a Corolla T-Sport,190 bhp
    I loved both those but never liked driving thereafter as I believe she eggagerated massively but as I was in the wrong I couldn't complain.

    Any sort of accident/tip will cost you greatly so be careful on the roads. Don't own a car now as I drive the Mrs car when needed,such prefer the bycycle.

    I was in a crash in 2010 (my fault!) and it's still not settled. The other driver is making all kind of claims that simply aren't true. Very frustrating.

    Typical car crash lottery claims. They always won out though.

    See these new novice plates you need for 2 years after you pass your test? I don't get them at all. Surely if you've passed the test you're a good enough driver.

    Even then one person could do 100000km in them 2 years and another could not drive again.

    Failed the first one myself thanks to "Progress" which was a balls as I think I took it to the extreme. Being a young lad I decided to drive like a 90 year old.

    It wasn't helped by the fact that some absolute idiot 50 meters ahead started to reverse all the way down the road towards me. He had missed his turn so the only way this fool knew was to reverse all the way back.... I just stopped and blasted the horn.
    Failed by one X and picked up one for that :(

    One of the lad i know in college was failed on progress too, he was doing 45 in a 50 but it was a straight open road so cars were queuing up behind him...

    Never a big fan of Harry Ramsden's despite being a big fish and chips man. where are the best fish and chips in Ireland? Nice topic for a bank holiday Monday(everyone has an opinion on this in my experience) We seem like a fairly diverse group in terms of geography and age. My top three are Kettle of fish in Gort, Reel Dingle fish in Dingle (obviously) and the Fish Wife in Cork. Kettle of fish is probably my favourite (branch in Galway city as well).
    Had fish and chips in Rick Stein's place in Padstow, Cornwall a few years ago, that was outstanding but no better than Kettle of fish if I'm honest.

    I'm an infrequent gambler but I never ever bet each way unless it's 50 to 1 or more. He'll win won't he?:P

    Now where do you go for fish and chips, not much decent grub out around Drom:pac:

    Each way is 5 places at quarter odds!

    I'd say go to Rossi's in Charleville or Perozzi in NCW for the fish and Chips :)

    Savage Pizza's in Rossi's but that's for a different day.
    I understand the odds and all, I practically lived in a bookie shop when I was in college, each way just doesn't interest me, I'm a **** or bust man:o
