'Southerners'  aren't use to going over 40mph , they're to busy avoiding the potholes

If only the road tax money was used to fill them and not go into paying Irish Water bonuses

This thread is heading down a potentially treacherous road, so I'm putting this sign up which leads us to Weareallirish Street.

There were 193 road deaths in the 26 counties in 2014.

There were 79 road deaths in the 6 counties in 2014.

The ratio is roughly the same as the population of the 6 & 26. Thus we are equally crap drivers.

Although we are badly dragged down by our Roscommon drivers who, while proclaiming themselves to be the greatest drivers in Ireland, still manage to triple-park the only 3 cars in parking hotspots such as Tulsk.

Monaghan and Donegal would have the worst rates in the 26.

Is there anything that Roscommon people don't proclaim themselves to be the greatest at?

Well spotted Maddog. The great crested grey head is in seemingly terminal decline.

When you call up to cancel a service nowadays they want to have a conversation about it and try to talk you around into staying. "Can I ask why you want to cancel the service? Are you aware of the upcoming special blah blah blah...........".
If you can sign up for the service at the click of a button you should be able to cancel with the same ease.

Exactly.
There really should be a law saying if you can sign up online , you have to be able to cancel online

When you're sitting on the toilet and the man in the cubicle next door has his foot protruding nearly into your space.

Maybe you shouldn't spend so much time in public toilets

People indicating at the end of a maneuver on the road. The whole idea is to show what you are going to do, not what you have just completed!! Roundabouts in particular. This flick of an indicater after you've pulled of the roundabout is about as useful as a trap door on a lifeboat.

Teachers on social media who can barely string a sentence together without a litany of grammatical and spelling mistakes.

My ma's text messages make more sense...

Rugby commentators spouting about rugby as if it was a skillful game. Talking about "skillsets", "soft hands" and "what a wonderful footballer"  a lad is, when all that's really happening is a load of over-sized men running into each other, over and over again, only interrupted when the one actual footballer on the team hoofs the ball out of play.

Agreed, the clue is in the word indicate.

Having said that, a conscientious person that usually indicates in good time may have forgotten on this one occasion and thought it best to make the token gesture.
