2. Road Rage Mode. :evil:

3. Easy listening. :kicking

4. Tranquil Mood. :)

5. Bass - challenger... ( but nice music I don't do clubby/max power umpaloompa boomboom -door rattle music...) :bose:

6. Random and untried stuff... :dance:

O could get one of those tape adaptor jobbies and plug my 5GB MP3 player, but I'll settle for a good 20x6 =120 tracks...random CD mix will make it last 5 days no problem...

3 Easy listening- St. Germain "tourist" ( some kind of cool jazzy stuff apparently)... :dry:

Meaning I am going to get enraged in Dublin, or the Dubliners are road ragers? :p

 

I was not planning on going that high up in Ireland... land in rosslare and drive around south ireland , below the dublin level...

 

Waterford is where I'm originally from. Mother still lives there. Takes an average of 3hrs to get from mine in Dub to her place on a Saturday leaving a 11am. Traffic is just pathetic. Drivers here shock me on a daily basis.

 

On Sunday last I was returning from Waterford to Dublin on the N11. Coast road - more fun. Got stuck behind a cop from Waterford to wherever. About 1hr. Anyway in a town called New Ross (you'll pass through if heading west) the cop approached a blind corner in the middle of the road crossing the centre line. Oncoming car rounded the corner and got some fright. Swerved to avoid. Cop didn't budge. I flashed the @*!# out of him and still no response. He then continued on breaking the speed limit in the 50koh, 60kph and 100kph.

 

Tips for driving in Ireland:

1. Never blink :)

2. Assume everyone around you cant drive

3. Indicators don't necessarily work

4. People accelerate and break for no reason

5. People from Dublin cant use roundabouts

6. You will be tailgated

7. Fog lights (front and rear) don't have an off switch

 

And on a very serious note

 

8. Drink driving is a much bigger problem then people realize, especially outside the cities.

 

Enjoy :teeth::teeth:
