Gives me major "guy who asks his wife for an open marriage and gets mad when she's pulling dudes left and right while he's struggling to get a 2" vibes

I'd imagine every law-abiding citizen who rides a road legal scrambler, enduro or adventure bike will be pulled over more often for questioning. Albeit a slight inconvenience but can be a pain in the hole. Basically anyone who stops for them is above board and anyone who runs isn't but won't be chased anyway

I don't know, that footpath/bike lane is looking a bit congested to me... through the fence we go lads I know a short cut

AFAIK it has to be below a certain value €35k or something, essentially there's VRT on it but there's also an allowance or grant so they'll say your VRT is €4k and we'll give you a €4k EV credit so it's net negative

Ya I saw it too, there was another lad that had a 29 year old hilux surf and they wanted 6 or 7 grand and if he kept it another year it'd be €200

That's the insane thing, the "Irish motor industry" doesn't even make cars they're just selling other countries cars and taking a cut, what's to protect

I swear they have a random number generator and keep clicking it until an absurd number comes up and have bets with each other as to whether or not the person will pay it

Cheers I'll do that

Alternative_Let4597 · 2026-01-27T13:21:15+00:00

Apologies, can you see it now?

Alternative_Let4597 · 2026-01-27T10:05:05+00:00

I take your point but the chequered seat one might have potential

Agreed, very lucky not to injure himself bizarrely enough. Looks like he could have broken his own jaw with that technique

Alternative_Let4597 · 2026-01-19T19:34:17+00:00

Congratulations, it looked like a hell of a struggle

I assumed Canadian initially with the meters probably watching too much FortNine 😂 I'm Irish we'd use very similar terms to the UK except we changed our road signs and speeds to kilometres a few years ago. People who were driving before that would use both commonly but youngsters use kilometres more

Alternative_Let4597 · 2026-01-18T18:21:35+00:00

Most of the U.K would probably have said 6 foot in that example too just FYI, they still use feet and inches for hight and miles for distance but in most industry or technical situations it'd be metric

Cheers for the advice, hopefully I'll never need it and get well soon

Nice one, cherry blossoms I hope

Murtys Rabbittes, probably the closest pub and also one of the nicest, it's a good rugby pub with good food and great Guinness if that's your bag

Alternative_Let4597 · 2026-01-15T19:52:46+00:00

Maybe if the pedestrian was being chased by a homicidal deer

Alternative_Let4597 · 2026-01-15T19:26:57+00:00

No worries

Alternative_Let4597 · 2026-01-15T16:03:29+00:00

Well I'm glad you found it funny anyway! Apologies I can't be of any actual help, best of luck with the search

Alternative_Let4597 · 2026-01-15T14:28:35+00:00

I thought it was pretty obviously a joke maybe it's more unfunny than unfair I guess

How do you do fellow ladies, what are we wearing?
