In view of the massive amount of road closures,and obvious frustrations during the papal visit,will you work,or will you not ?
-
Is Tim covering the Ashtown gate?

as an alter boy said to a priest, i will in my hole.

Wellington...the greatest protester against Catholic oppression....yet, Daniel O'Connell gets all the credit...Arthur Wellesley....all a fucking cod lads....up the Rangers.

My question was not about religion,just about congestion

Religion...surely? Would the roads be closed if the Chief Rabbi of Ireland came to see that most patriotic statue we have, the Wellington monument? Everything here's religion, Dalymount....especially our intolerance.
-
well i dont think the chief rabbi is due to visit any time soon, but i expect in circumstances where any planned visit by any eminent person which required road closures, or diversions would by sanctioned by the relivant authority, to deal with that situation.again i will ask the question of those who wish to answer it wi8ll you work it,or not
-
No, I won't be working.
A good chunk of my passengers are foreigners living here and they don't listen to the news. I can't be arsed explaining to them why I can't drive them across the city.
Given that I think people with religion have a mild mental disability, I wouldn't be the best person to drive them around. Also, don't want to listen to any Irish Christians droning on about how great the Pope is.
I think the forecast is for no rain so they'll probably claim God did that too ::fight
Gonna buy a rake of beer, chill out & watch some movies and do my tax returns. I might not get around to #4 ::cheers

The Catholic hierarchy upper echelons are reported to be very worried that the New Pope is being so sympathetic and willing to deplore what happened that shouldn't have happened (including the head honcho cover ups) that someone from their ranks in all seriousness is going to have the ask the question that we've all been asking in jest for years
"Is the Pope Catholic?" ??? ???

It’s a few roads in the west of the city. Between the hours of 6am and 7pm. The city center is open bar a few road closures between 12pm and 5pm. Still plent6 of time for you night owls to coin it in.
If yo7 work Saturday nights, work it, if you work sunda6 mornings, work it. You’ll get used to wha5 roads are closed and the ones you can or can’t get to

Yes indeed. He fought hard for the Irish when he saw what was going on....the Irish were then worth fighting for.

The Irish in his regiment and their families were treated better than other soldiers in the crown forces. As Prime Minister, he passed The Catholic Emancipation Act in Westminster. A True Blue Dub.

Glad you agree...other than that, t'would've been up to Hippo to stick his oar in...if he wasn't stoned on iodine, hiding in the bunker near the Chapelizard exit.

Not interfering in anyone's posts here intentionally...but my schizoid head is buzzing.....Adam Weishaupt...google him if you want to know the truth about the Jesuits....they are very clever....SOLDIERS. Leave out the Illuminati shite and focus on his sayings and his teachings. He was never a Catholic...alright already.
-
It's hard to tell sometimes if yourself (LL) and yourself (hippo) are on meds...all the time!!
-
Well, I can only speak on behalf of himself, Hal...and no...not guilty....keeping it mad is better than keeping it sturm und graz with the aul Rassismus. I ain't the one firing off P.M.'s at dawn....like that little pun did ya? If they don't think you're mad, then start worrying Hal....hippo sends his best from Ardee.
-
Ooh Ardeeee....that's close!!
-
...and who's firing pre maturely at dawn?
-
Nobody cares Hal.....it ain't what I'm getting at....keeping it mad is what this site should be focusing on....don't be looking for slights when there's none there...couldn't care less where you hang your bowler mate....Dunleer or Collon...who gives a fcuk? Try Tallaght if you want multiculturalism hai. Keep away from Racism and embrace the insane....ya folla..as Doyle Lonnegan asked?

Disappeared for a while there again, Shallow.....another vintage project beckons?? As my Filipina mott says in her best Tagalog attempt at Engleeshh....Talla hopitle...midwife crisis. I never know if it's a direct attack on me or the lack of gynaecology staff.
-
Planning to get back to work tonight for a few hours. I'll probably work Friday and Saturday nights and maybe take a leaf out of Vikkiz's buke and file my tax return and SUSI grant applications on Sunday. I don't usually pay a whole lot of attention to traffic restrictions, opting to just follow whatever diversions are marked and/or comply with restrictions as I encounter them. Given the scale of this event I might do some advance research. Proper Preparation Prevents Inadequate Performance.

Nah,the missus ended up in hosp in Drog for a week,after numerous scans/mri,discovered it was a compressed disc at C6-C7 vertebrae,because her symptoms deteriorated the consultant asked the neuro team in Beaumont to review the MRI,they requested she be transferred by ambulance to Beaumont for surgery....which she's had,she's out n about recuperating....as i keep telling her...i put my life on hold!!
-
Good luck to her....had 2 ops on my on back in the last 20 months....not nice....best wishes. Lost the second crutch there a while ago after 14 months....anyway...good luck to you and her.
-
Sounds quite nasty, Hal. Best wishes...
-
Thanks gents....yeah,she was in quite a bit of pain alright,could have been sorted sooner only for a GP to misdiagnose her in the first place,the team in Drog were just brilliant...left no stone unturned,actually found something else unrelated that they taking care of aswell....anyways,i've taken my life off hold...hence back here...typin bollox!!

The machines are no bother, it's the ironing and cooking that are my bugbears, ding dinners for the last few weeks myself, until she's back from hols on Sat. Good luck with the recuperation Hal

When my ship comes in I'm gonna do the Ballymaloe residential course €12500 + €2000 accomodation

Jaysus, that's more than I'd spend on a 5 year motor... maybe you'll pop back and share some tips with us peasants afterwards! I take more of a trial and error approach to cooking but I've probably learned more from Italian culture than elsewhere. While the French like to complicate things the Italians are more inclined to treating quality ingredients with relative simplicity, a style that can be successfully applied to any food genre.
Anywaysanall, back on topic. I think I'll print the following snippet from http://www.dublincity.ie/main-menu-services-roads-and-traffic-current-roadworks-temporary-road-closures/papal-visit-sunday (http://www.dublincity.ie/main-menu-services-roads-and-traffic-current-roadworks-temporary-road-closures/papal-visit-sunday)
Taxis:
Taxi Access in Controlled Areas on Sunday 26th August 2018 -
Updated on the 17/8/18
A controlled access area will be in place from 6am to 11pm on Sunday 26th August 2018 for the Mass by Pope Francis in the Phoenix Park. The priority for this event is public transport, including Small Public Service Vehicles (SPSV’s) e.g. Taxis, in order to ensure the safety of the high volumes of pedestrians expected. Taxis will be allowed to move through the controlled access area, subject to significant limitations including:
High volumes of pedestrians are expected along the routes from the transport hubs to the Phoenix Park and all vehicles, including taxis, will not be allowed along these routes.
The controlled access area includes closure of roads east of the M50 between and including the N3, N4 and N7; North of the N7 and Grand Canal; South and West of the N2 to Cross Guns Bridge and west of O’Connell Street.
Note: Dublin City remains open for business with the eastern corridor largely unaffected (M1, Port Tunnel, Eastlink).
Note: Under no circumstances will taxi fares to the Phoenix Park, or the roads/streets around the Phoenix Park, be facilitated when the controlled access area is in place.
We would ask all taxi drivers to study the details available on the Garda website, and to be familiar with the limitations in the controlled access area. Subject to the safety of pedestrians, taxis will be facilitated. For example, if you are a taxi driver and you need to take a passenger from Stillorgan Road to the Rotunda or Holles Street Hospitals, you will be facilitated. If scheduling fares to the airport, plan accordingly and allow extra time for the journey.
Seems quite ambiguous to me but might help punters understand the potential extent of facilitation within restricted areas should circumstances dictate that such facilitation or lack thereof may or may not, as the case may be, prove relevant to any particular intended journey.
