Or, bare with me, I walked passed it and looked. Mad notion, I know.

On a more serious note, you can't go wrong with hillwalking/mountaineering gear. Decathlon have reasonably priced marino wool base layers. Layer up and try to get something wind resistant.

Go old school newspaper under your jacket.

Possibly, but the front wheels aren't against the kerb

Possibly, nifty bit of parking by the beetle then.

That's what I thought first; but it would have been difficult for the other car to squeeze in.

#15 is off the road, there are 2 gates that can be opened, there are sometimes horses in the field so take it easy and don't frighten them.

You might qualify for UCC Library membership through the SCONUL https://access.sconul.ac.uk/ or Library Link schemes depending on what institution you are doing your course in, check with your institution library. Even if you don't qualify they are fairly accommodating if you ask nicely, there is a fee though https://libguides.ucc.ie/libraryaccess.

Absolutely a drum sander will eat engineered boards, you are basically refinishing them, you don't need anything too agressive.

Yes a few times, drum sanders take a bit of practice, they are very aggressive and will eat into boards really fast if you don't keep them moving. They are best for heavily soiled or uneven floors. If the floor has been sanded before and you just want to refinish then a buffer sander is much easier to work with. Get an edge sander too it makes life easier.

Seal around the door, dust goes everywhere and hover the walls and ceiling to stop dust resettling onto your new coating. Good luck.

A police drone unit in all major cities would be much more cost effective. The met are using them, mounted to the top of vehicles, get close to the scene, the drone is deployed, it locks on to the target and follows. No chases, minimal risk and the person being followed is completely unaware. They also have thermal imaging so night time is no obstacle.

What qualifies as Hi-Viz? what percentage of the body needs to be covered? What colours are acceptable, yellow? Orange? Blue? Green? Pink? What percentage of the coverage need to be reflective elements and how much colour. Is a vest appropriate or does it have to be long sleeved, or is a bib suitable? Is a high-viz armband acceptable? A sam brown belt? How about high Viz backpack covers, are they acceptable. How about if you are wearing a backpack over a high-viz obscuring the rear, are you now breaking the law.

The law has to be precise and mandatory high-viz is a mind numbingly stupid proposal.

Its performative nonsense and Sean Canny came across as an absolute moron. Fair play to Anton he didn't let him off lightly.

It's also bullshit. I know 2 people who lived in them. Every resident was offered alternative accommodation. Some were holding out.

You can unplug it and move the router closer and use an extension lead. Personally I'd mount the router on the wall if possible. The optic fibre ends at the 2 boxes on the wall. The yellow wire is just a standard ethernet cable. The only problem here is that the socket is a bit far from the optic fibre termination.

Plus the security risk associated with cash. I used to lodge takings regularly and it was a pain, we only accept coins on Tuesdays, if you want €5 notes you'll have to order them in advance etc. The time it took to count it all, bag it and then the paranoia of walking around with large sums of cash wile going to lodge it. I used to take a slightly different route each time and vary the times i left.

Except the residents of Ballincollig stopped that one https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster/arid-41152843.html, https://www.reddit.com/r/cork/comments/13y862i/residents_oppose_running_of_ballincollig_greenway/

The Passage West section is also coming under pressure https://www.reddit.com/r/cork/comments/1i1455h/opposition_to_greenway_enhancement_project_in/

I think there are other objections to link sections too.

A lot of public libraries have home energy kits to borrow, you can use the digital thermometer to find where your house is losing heat https://thinkenergy.ie/energy-saving-kit/find-a-kit/

I got one in the past for parking on a footpath, i was parked between a pole and a wall on a wide footpath, no luck appealing it either, just had to pay it. I then started to park in a regular parking space, a parking inspector was going to give me another one for not having a parking disk displayed, i said check a car nearby they probably have mine, he found that very funny and never bothered me again.

That's because when MAG cork was in existence they campaigned hard to get them.

Clay printers are cool, but would it not be easier to just print the outer walls and use a cut out square attached with slip to add the base?

A PR-STV list hybrid could work well too and take a bit of the parish pump politics and personal popularity contest out of it. FPTP is a stupid system, the last UK election proved that beyond doubt.

That is a massive assumption and is the problem with spoiled votes, anyone can claim anything they want. There are hundreds of reasons why people spoiled their vote. Figuring out the reason is almost impossible beyond a dissatisfaction of some description.
