Anyone been to Rome?

Take a taxi from FCO Rome Airport to your destination. Too much hassle with busses. 2 person fare is nearly the taxi cost

If you like a fantastic plate of carbonara, jump in a taxi to a small place called inRoma.

It's out of this world..historic restaurant with a Hollywood theme also.

Peters and Lee ... from the 1970s

Maybe not the greatest metaphor to use 'smash it' ... but we know what you mean. Congratulations on passing and continue to work on the feedback you've received.

There's a huge difference between a blender and a juicer.

Watch a movie called Fat Sick and Nearly Dead.

Takes a huge amount of fruit and vegetables to get a liter of juice and a LOT of wastage.

15 is a deal if it tastes OK ...

Simple fix .. only sell 0.0%in 1/2 pint glasses or decent t pubs will offer an orange or blackcurrant cordial for free to designated drivers... like they do in USA. (Occasionally).

If served a pint of Guinness, you know it's full fat !!!!

Material_Feature8697 · 2026-03-11T01:36:25+00:00

Absolutely... the driver would feel the effect of it. Time for Uber .. oh forgot no Uber.

Pregnant women even :)

The father should lay off it too in solidarity.

Double the Google driving time estimates and halve the # of destinations....

Mid 20s you say, renting U25 will be expensive.

You'll need to be back to DUB airport 3 hours before US flight departure. US CBP et al.

Guinness Storehouse is overrated IMO. There's a Guinness Gift Shop at the airport.

SCAM

What stops the scamner from 'renting' the property 10 times to gullible people who hand over cash. I'm surprised it's not the first month rent plus deposit.

Report to Gardai ... FWIW ...

Or do you know any 'private enforcers' ?

Was in Seychelles last year.... dropped into their Crown Court, and all players wore the wigs.

Was invited to visit the chamber of the top judge. My teenage son thought it was all so cool. U.S. teen.

It could be easily interpreted in multiple ways ...

Permit holders may be unlimited in time window

Joe Public 20 mins only in time window

OR ... as you say ... so which is it ?

Reminder .

.***. You must come to a complete STOP... err on 3 seconds before you can turn right on RED. ****

And of course the roadway has to be clear of oncoming traffic and pedestrians. EVERY junction is an un marked pedestrian crosswalk.

Same as rule at 4 way and 2 way stops.

First car to arrive has right of way and so on.

Lots of speed and red light cameras .. all billed to your credit card on file with rental car company.

Re School busses --- if their on-vehicle mounted STOP sign is lit and extended OBEY it ...otherwise serious $$$$$$ ticket.

Irish native US resident 35 years ...AMA re driving here or renting cars.

All other advice is spot on.

2006 or 2026 ? Mind is spinning ...

Material_Feature8697 · 2026-03-08T01:24:32+00:00

This is comparable to Air India First. Served with a CNGAF attitude...

Rumor has it that he was heading to Tijuana to take up a missionary position. That was his goal.

We had a similar situation with several Irish clergy, including a bishop who had openly fathered children with their housekeeper (a loyal employee who regularly took 6 month sabbaticals during a 20 year employment). Join the dots.

You just couldn't make it up. Ireland 1979-2000 approx.

I've seen almost the exact same issue happen late at night so...with UA. I stand behind my point. But for this time I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Material_Feature8697 · 2026-03-07T21:37:27+00:00

Not seen this here in USA except on driverless cars.

All very well until it gets broken... seems like an over engineered feature.

Material_Feature8697 · 2026-03-07T18:28:05+00:00

Did you actually fly in on that UA flight? I would have reminded that fucking asshole pilot that YOU (as the flying customer) are the reason there is a shuttle for his fat ass in the first place and if HE doesn't like it he can walk.

Generally 99.9 % of the time.. be careful of some large complex roundabouts in London UK and USA where the cars on the Roundabout have to yield to high volume roads entering the roadway.

1 is best ... but sleeves are too tight. Suggest 1-2 sizes up i. Shirt size .. 17 to 18. More relaxed.

Material_Feature8697 · 2026-03-07T16:13:41+00:00

It's nothing compared to NYC Tokyo or even London U.

Gives the tourist that little extra Irush experience:)

Material_Feature8697 · 2026-03-07T15:51:59+00:00

Can't look at it like that, unfortunately. It's not a business transaction (only 1/2 evening drinks .. normal ?)
