My yoke wouldn't start this morning. Turned the key a few times.
Figured out how to open the bonnet, checked the battery ( looked at it )
Turned the key again, started fine

This is something that has resolved itself and will not reoccurr

Checks out

the engine clearly wasn't able to breathe and opening the bonnet allowed it to.

So that's most Dublin roads at rush hour?
Isnt there a 30kmh limit in the city centre?

For quite some time now. Is it abided by? Probably not but still ridiculous that this is not only taken seriously but also seen as news.

I'm sure there are times along the quays when 30kmh seems like you are racing along though too.
At least from my memory of getting stuck in that traffic.

The absolute bang of motorist entitlement.

Because I am me, i had to find a map of speed limits in dublin.

That lad above is gonna hate it once he hits the city. according to this everything in pink is already a 30kmh zone, yellow and cyan phasing in...

Speed Limits in Dublin City

Details of speed limits are given in current bye-laws entitled Dublin City Council Special Speed Limit Bye-Laws 2016. These bye-laws came into effect on 31st March 2017.

i think that map is out of date too; i know (and can see on google maps) that some areas in yellow have adopted 30km/h limits in the housing estates.

NCT failed for brake light bulb. Quick replacement and we're good to go. What a car

Mine broke once on the way to the NCT, checked it that morning and it was fine. Watched it on the ramp and it was gone. Typical!

Finally activated our smart electricity meter in advance of this yoke arriving. I probably should have consulted the crowd before I did but I went for the nighttime boost option.

Electricity is cheaper at night and even less between 2 and 4am.

Frantically researching how to programme the washing machine.....

i went to submit a reading recently and then got told in my online Electic ireland account thingy thatits read automagically. grand.
tried to have a look at alternative rates or even just checking out the options and i couldnt find shit.

is the point of the smart meter that it selects the best tarriff for you based on your average useage??

no it allows the ESB to charge you more based on your peak/off peak usage
