Gorey Co. Wexford - The traffic hell hole of the east!!

Sweet jebus have you ever been unfortunate enough and had to drive through the J Walking Hell Hole of a Kip called Gorey? What a complete disaster in modern day communting / transport, you are guaranteed to spent at least 25 minutes of your life sitting in a traffic jam when going through this dump. But wait ... relief is on the way Wexford Co. Council are on the ball and are planning a bypass.

The construction of dual carriageway will replace the existing N11 between Clogh and the Arklow bypass and includes a bypass of Gorey Town (about f'ing time!!). However it's not scheduled for completion until Q4, 2007.

2007!!!
.

You have got to be taking the piss. Even if they get it completed in 2 years time the bottleneck will just move down to Camolin or Ferns. You have honestly got to wonder what those toss pots in the National Roads Authority (NRA), County Council and our beloved Government use to plan ahead a frigging black stick and lazy labrador. It gets even better by 2015 the government still isn't planning on bypassing some of these towns, check out the national road network in 2015. Take your Transport 21 and stick it up your hole Bertie. The biggest economic boom this country has ever witnessed and low and behold Fianna Fail are still squandering money, at least with Charlie Haughey we eventually knew where the money was going i.e. into his own pockets!!

Last season they finished without a trophy of any description.

HAPPY DAYS INDEED!!

North Atlantic's natural heating system has slowed by about 30%

The Atlantic Conveyor, a life-giving ocean current that keeps northern Europe warm, is slowing down, scientists said on Wednesday. If the 30 percent slowdown seen over the past 12 years is not just a blip, temperatures in northern Europe could drop significantly, despite global warming, they added.

Scientists have long forecast that the Atlantic Conveyor that carries warm surface water north and cold deep water back to the equator could break down because of global warming. This is the first time we have observed a change in the current on a human timescale," oceanographer Harry Bryden said, noting that it had completely shut down during the ice ages. Read On
