Why stop trams at Blackhorse because of an incident at Smithfield? Surely to God they can run to Heuston and back or does that simple logic go over their heads? It’s not rocket science.
When a luas gets to Heuston, what do you suppose it does then? Just reverse back towards the next tram coming its way?
Rep, we’re talking SIMPLE LOGIC here, not simple logic. Don’t confuse Michael
There should be a railway switch around there no?
Actually, never mind.
@rep .. yea. but its no reverse. theres cockpits either side of every luas. so it literally does just go back.
@rotide .. while youre here. all power to the chap with a gun. violence is key.
Grand so, they can drive head-first into the tram coming to Hueston on the very same track. So much better.
the tracks switch to allow each other to pass. how do u think it works? a cirlce?
No, you’ll need to sit down and brace yourself as I go through this; the tracks switch. Ok? The luas drives forwards, it switches tracks, the driver moves to other cabin and we’re off. Got it now Einstien?
Where is the track switch? There is none at Heuston or James St. They are two seperate lines so where exactly does it switch?
Reaction is not sufficient any more.
We must have overreaction, dammit.
If someone threatens that kind of violence in a court, imagine what he’s threatening his family with?
in family court, no less. where there’s tons and tons of other people waiting for their cases to be heard today before the long holiday break. what a lady’s special garden. i hope he’s done for terrorism.
He must have been really angry.
i bet you anything he had just trodden on lego in bare feet.
Happy Christmas Bad at Memes.
*snigger*
*shudder*
Phew, Barabbas was one consonant away from a Workd Of Moderation there.
Someone is going on the naughty list…
I thought memes was merely drunk rather than violent
it was an imitation firearm .
nice one BB
Ah that’s mean.
What’s eating you this week?
Back pain.
Little fella has taken to joining us in the bed at night and I end up sleeping like a swastika.
Thanks for listening.
Would that be little Mildred ?
A man can dream.
( Or at least I could if I could get a sleep )
Bhí subh milis
Ar bhaschrann an dorais
Ach mhúch mé an corraí
Ionam d’éirigh,
Mar smaoinigh mé ar an lá
A bheas an bhaschrann glan,
Agus an láimh bheag
Ar iarraidh.
There was jam
On the door handle
But I pushed away the feelings
That rose up in me,
Because I thought of the day
That the door handle would be clean
And the little hand
Would be gone.
that is actually the poem I used to say to any fecker in France who used to ask me to say anything in Irish
uncanny
And if they asked you what it means I really hope you told them is was a poem about a dirty knob getting polished!
