The standard of Irish...in the school books. I know it's easier to translate 'table' to 'tábla' but bloody hell. Is every word going to end up oversimplified?

What's wrong with tábla? It's the only word I'd ever use for a table.

Yeah, they'll be giving out about héileacaptar next.

What about cár? Is that a new word? My father uses glústáin (spelling) for car I think?

When you park the car well away from anyone else and yet some dope still parks beside you even though there are plenty of empty spaces elsewhere.

Lads who park the cars miles from everyone else because they don't want some lad to bang them when they open the doors.

We have spaces in a busy public car park in the city centre.  There's a guy in there who ALWAYS parks just over a second space at a weird angle so that no other car will try to park in beside him in order to protect his precious Mercedes.  Really really selfish and arrogant.

Id always park the van up beside tosspots like that ;D

Agree with Laoislad though.  Would usually park well away from people when ye can, making it easier to get the kids out of the car and avoiding any dings.  Annoying when someone pulls right in beside you when there is plenty of spaces

Country is full of these people. Generally found straddling the white line in car parks. A mate in work seeks these people out and also straddles the white line to ensure he can get closely parked beside them  ;D

Foolish endeavor in my opinion. There will almost always be someone desperate in a smaller car who will fit in next to you and your chances of getting dinged are higher.  Plus the indignant who might just ding you out of spite.

I'm a far away parker myself, mostly out of impatience as I can walk to the store quicker than I can drive around to get a closer spot. Took the same approach in the banged up Mazda as I do in the new wagon! Problem is the new wagon is nice and you can feel the judgement from those deplorables. Accidentally parked close to the line one afternoon and the paranoia that I'd have been deemed to protecting my nice new car made me go back and move it!

Mate of mine came back to his car to see a woman, who was loading her car, had left a bag on HIS bonnet. When he asked her wtf she was doing, she said the bag would get wet if it was on the ground.
