It is Monday the 3rd of September 07. Limerick have won or not won something or other, really, really couldn’t care less.
There’s a big parade planned for 7pm. What does some armchair warrior in some government department come up with?
Let’s switch off all the traffic lights and close down all the most important roads in the city starting at 11 am.
The entirely predictable result: Chaos, bedlam, gridlock.
Whoever had this bright idea deserves to be tarred and feathered in a specially organised parade for this event, no need to close of any roads and tie his body onto a lamp post on Sarsfield Bridge so we throw eggs at him.
Good and well if someone has reason to celebrate, just don’t make me suffer for it.

Its madness alright. I was coming in from annacotty at rush hour and it was like intellectually challenged hour in the bumper cars in Kilkee in 1983. The junction near the A1 Bar on the dublin road was absolute bedlam altogether.
It’s sometimes as if everyone in Limerick conspires together in order to make things way worse than they need to be.
Also, the Dublin road has been a constant roadworks for the last 5-6 years, just how long does it take to dig up a road?
Bumpercars meets Apocalypse.
