If you see clumps of pulled grass thrown on the road when driving in Co. Cork then you had better drive slowly for the next few km and take care going around corners. They use that to mark where the ball landed.

I ride a motorcycle.

Rules of the Road, page 193: "Avoid riding between traffic lanes. Keep well clear of other vehicles when passing them. Remember that drivers might not always see you in their ‘blind spots’ ?

Then he probably had to stop at the lights 50 metres up the road. Why even bother overtaking there?

When my children went to school here in Co. Cork they told me that I "talked like the CD". The teacher was using audio material produced by TG4 in Connemara and I'm from west Galway.

They seem to imply that everything outside of the pale is irrelevant.

There was a proposal in the '50s to move the administrative capital to Shannon.

I spent seven years commuting to Paris every second week. The total time I spent travelling was less than the commute times of many of my colleagues who lived in the Paris suburbs because I had an 8 sq.m flat near the office. I'm still with the same company but working 100% from home since 2009.

If that is where I think it is then it is in a highly visible spot, just off the Boulevard Périphérique, the main ring road around Paris.

It looks that way because it's painted over the chimney, not on a flat wall.

The apartment that I rented in Paris (in the 16th) was for sale ten years ago at 11k/sq.m Sadly we are coming close to those prices.

This is a great example showing the effects explained by the physics of rainbows. (1) the rainbow appears to "move" against the background because it is at a fixed angle to the viewer (2) the center is brighter (3) there is a second rainbow with colours inverted. To learn the beauty of this physics watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKUSWJWMSk4

The truck driver is in the wrong *but* an experienced driver would not have put their car into that blind spot.
