    Heading west from Little Island in the evening is a disaster, the amount of merging lanes ruin any hopes of free flowing traffic, this evening will see more traffic staying left with the M8 loop opening ... the mornings are a lot better than before though, I'll give them that

    Average Cork Taxi Driver wage, kicking in at €650

    Got a cab from the airport last October to Togher. Told the driver the destination to which he replied "fuck sake, 20min queue for that" He charged me €16 euro. 5km max. I regrettably let him have €20.

    Fair play Jimmy! Yes, I was very happy Ran 65mins which was my goal but I ran better than I thought I could to achieve it. Going into the the race I thought 4:10 spllts were achievable but I ran with the 65 pacers up to 8km where the pace got a little uncomforatable very suddenly! funnily...

    Ya, I have no knowledge of the course apart from online reading. Its described as a flat fast course so when you say hills I presume you mean more of a drag? Weather looks fairly perfect right now, 10 degrees, no wind Did I hear there would be pacers there? Was talking to a guy yesterday who...

    I'll be running Dungarvan Sunday. Have yet to push myself at the 10 mile distance. I've been doing some good track running but I've slacked in recent weeks on longer weekend runs. I ran a fast 10km about 3 weeks ago so at the moment my plan of attack is try that pace again, my big fear is the...

    I picked up the same pair with the black friday deals. €90 from €200. They're very different to the two pairs of Pegasus I have, but loving them so far

    Have the live cams been disabled all week or is it just this morning?

    As I drove onto the new slip to Little Island (coming from the tunnel), a cherry picker was just exiting the road, looked like there was works on the wider part of the M8 structure happening above.

    I've been tipping at the running since lockdowns but I packed up ball this year so taking it more seriously the last few months. I've done 2 adventure races this year and 2 HM, prior to this year the only race experience I had was a 12km I'm currently doing one track session a week and one...

    I went through town again this morning so I'm not in a position to comment.

    Yeah, I was about 2/3s the way back at the start line so we couldn't hear a thing from the PA, I saw somebody say somewhere else that all the speakers were pointed towards to the road, that and the wind we had little hope of hearing. Great numbers and I feel getting through days like that...

    The finish was a killer, I went from thinking they had measured it short when entering the showgrounds to seeing that final cross country loop. Thought that last section of road too before the showgrounds when you are running against the traffic wasn't ideal. The 10 minute delay before also...

    Same. Town worked well for me today, obviously its not an option for all. The earlier comment suggesting that a lot of the traffic is caused by lane hoppers is total bollocks.

    Directing 2/3s of the traffic into the left hand lane which already deals with the Douglas and Mahon merge is causing havoc. Still hard to believe just how bad it is compared to last week with the same amount of lanes available

    So you'd think if I were to buy a security camera from the .uk site next week for €100, customs shouldn't be an issue?

    I bought a fire stick last month for €30, got caught for €11 customs and had to use a parcel hub as Irish delivery wasn't possible. Nearly €50 by time I got it. Kinda turned me off using again for electrics. Although the mrs used amazon.de for a sewing machine and got a great deal.
