True, but surely we could still have the craic without racist taxi drivers, pig ignorant gardai and piss poor public servants, no?

I'd certainly like to think so.
Probably best not to tinker with the formula too much though.

That's why Dublin is covered in dogshit , junkies and complete pricks. And god help you if you're in a hurry.

Don't get me started on those hoards of people who swamp the Luas tram entrances and simply have to get on before you can even get off the fucking thing!

I thought these rules of etiquette were ingrained in everyone's skull:
Walking on a footpath? Stick to your right-side.
Want to stop on an escalator/travelator/walkway? Stop on the right-side, people walk up the left. (Although in Tokyo, it's the complete opposite).
Want to get on a bus/train/tram? Let people exiting off first.

The rules of etiquette say that when walking on a footpath you walk so the lady you're accompanying is away from the road, that was you get splashed by any passing carriages.

You know I'm actually really sorry now that I didn't because I'd say they were deadly. I've gone to a couple of gigs on my own when I lived in town but for some reason the thoughts of driving the 7 or 8 miles to whelans to stand around awkwardly at the back of the venue when it was one of the few saturdays that my wife had off from work kind of didn't appeal at the time.
Didn't go for that run either.

7 or 8 miles! My heart bleeds

As true today as was when t'was written.

But now it's because if you're over 6 foot tall you can't walk on the inside because you'll have your eye taken out by low hanging branches of trees growing out from lazy fuckers gardens. There should be a mandatory 7 ft clearance level for all tree branches.

I think I'm repeating myself now. God it grinds my gears.

Same goes with kids. Although I presumed it was that if a car mounted the footpath you'd take the hit before the child.

Ah I was told by an aul lad that If you allow the Lady walk on the outside / roadside that you are exhibiting her for the sale of sex

Probably gives you more time to react if for some reason the kid decides to bolt for the road too.

it was the 10 or so steps to the car that would've been the hardest.
How far are you travelling yourself?

That and carrying a pimp cane

I wish everyone did this... I certainly do. I don't jaywalk either but that's a whole other kettle of fish.

I had no idea you were supposed to walk on the right hand side of the foot path. I did know about the ladies on the inside thing though, my mother insists on walking on the inside if we're walking anywhere together. I should insist she walk a few paces behind me next time and see how she likes it.

Anyway, fuck today's weather.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I notice in malls here that there's one direction to walk.

Most people obey.

If you don't they bump into you and get angry like the dream people in Inception.

Lash some tunes on.

Play drums on the steering wheel.

Stop for a cheap coffee.

Come on, Gazzer. Mind over matter.

 

[GO]

Thats not a bad idea about the tunes..I've had Plank Kenny and Joe Duddy so far today..no wonder I'm losing the will to live!

 

[Jill Hives]

A workplace that can leave me in the lurch for 3 months on my actual work hours. Or if they are going to backdate the three months from annual leave or take it from my pay. Seriously, this place is unbelievable. I asked to have my hours extended like everyone else in my department but because I'm not in the union they couldn't do it. I foresee getting royally screwed soon. Actually, this is a major complaint. No one will answer my questions.

I average about 900 a week at the minute.

Stepped in dog shit on the way home, it was much the same colour as the leaves so I didn't spot it. On the plus side it was fairly soft shit and came off easily in the puddles
