It's just as bad as those hills that are only safe enough for one lane of traffic and so there are lights on either end to make sure only one direction comes through >:( I hate those temporary traffic light systems… It’s just as bad as those hills that are only safe enough for one lane of traffic and so there are lights on either end to make sure only one direction comes through >:(

All his life my father fought against the British domination. Many of my relatives lost their lives. That is why I dare to say that the Irish wish for the Lisbon Treaty. My only comment is: fuck!

Anyone wondering where the government is overspending? Council workers. The fact that our tax money (I really should say <em>your</em> tax money, since I'm earning a tax-free pittance these days) is being spent on these fuckers who spend all day scratching their fat, lazy, hairy, fucking holes makes my blood boil. It's been 13 weeks (that's 91 days) since they started laying a new footpath up my road. This footpath is to going to be roughly 120m in length and so far they've managed to put in the curbs. That's it. Fucking curbs. <em>Somehow</em> it's taken six council workers, armed with diggers and dumpers, 13 fucking weeks to lay 120m of curbs. That's 1.3m per day. It's an absolute fucking joke. Why has it taken so long? Because they don't <em>actually</em> work. They sit in the cab of the truck and smoke fags all day. And get paid for it. With our money. Cunts.

Hold them both on red for five minutes and then turn both green simultaneously, and watch the head-on pile up. Milton - That is a damned good idea. €10 too little? Brianf - Maybe the authorities in your area are trying to dig you up and move you out of the state? Has that occurred to you? TT - The only gadget I'd point at those lights is my Glock. RhodesTer - Waddya want me to do? Stick glowing reindeer all over the site? I might include a filleted Rudolph? Thrifty – Even better is to synchronise them.

If the pipe smoking grandad isn't going to don a Santa hat via Photoshop, at least the soldier should. A bit of mistletoe hanging from the gun barrel wouldn't hurt either.

My township has been working on our water infrastructure, in my neighborhood, for the past four months. The block I live on looks like a freakin' war zone with all the divits and bottomless holes they have installed on my street. My driveway is currently about two feet above the road surface!!! The one nice thing I can say about all of it is that every afternoon when they are finished wrecking the road they pour enough stone infront of everyones driveway so we can enter and exit without having monster truck tires on our vehicles. Four months they have been working in my neighborhood!!! You too, eh?
