It's December, it's a Friday evening, the weather is shocking outside. Are you ready to face this?

Traffic congestion in Dublin is now so bad that the average speed in some areas is 7mph. At that speed my granny would get from one end of O'Connell street to the other faster in her wheel chair than the 123 bus would in rush hour traffic. And as for Operation Free Flow, the only thing that appears to be flowing is overtime dosh into Garda back pockets. I reckon the only viable solution is to give everyone jet packs powered by recycled nappies or something.

Best of luck to anyone hitting the roads this evening, I on the other hand am off to the pub.
