N7 is bonkers, have never seen anything like it. Bus and truck crash at Green Isle. I was an hour getting about 200m. Managed to get off at Newlands X, took a look up at the flyover and people are all out of their cars standing around. Road is actually closed.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Unfortunately would seem like it's a fatal accident with the road still closed.

Im moving house and have mine on the market at the moment
I have started the purchase of another house, that will cetainly close before i finalise mine 2-3 months at least . ( i also had to asure them that i wasnt in a chain, so have a seperate mortgage agreed.) ( i had to agree as i basically paid 30k under my expected budget, and cant miss out)
I have the mother of all trackers on my current home and would like to move this to the new house (paying off the temporary mortgage with my moved tracker)
There is an issue in kilkenny certainly where sellers are really only interested in cash buyers, or first buyers that arnt in chain.
Anyway i kind of assumed this was a regular occurance, but from the calls ive made it appears not.
Anyone moved a tracker like this , or heard of anyone that has. Or if anyone has a creative solution to this (other than the obvious delaying the purchase as much as possible etc(as ill be doing that))
Edit: depends what bank you're with perhaps. For example: https://www.bankofireland.com/help-c...cker-mortgage/

Ugh Brian Cox. I got a present of one of his books on quantum mechanics and it was the worst popular science book I ever read. Like he would have explained things better if he just dived straight into wave mechanics. Still, at least it was a book I didn't have to listen to his raspy, fake wonderment, voice.
Jim Al-Khalili is where its at.

I think EBS offered us same deal but our tracker balance was so low that the cost of putting the rest of the new mortgage on their shitty SVR more than outweighed the benefits. Hence we left it to die."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Trump is so transparent that it's hilarious.
Mueller basically says he's a crook and it's over to Congress. Cue cooked-up headline grabbing tariffs on Mexico.
The fact that they hurt Mexicans and Americans equally is irrelevant to the Donald..."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Washington post were reporting the other day that the White House sent a request to the Pentagon that the aircraft carrier USS John McCain, on duty in the pacific and in Japan for the Presidential visit, be kept out of Trump's sight.
I don't expect that was coming from him but from people in the office so scared of what his behaviour would become if he was confronted with a ship named for McCain

You're the scientist obviously, but don't double-deckers take up less space on the roads which must be some advantage? More of them can be taking on passengers at one busstop, and they take up less space for parking overnight.
They are less likely to get stuck at junctions than longer buses.
They can traverse streets that bendy-buses can't, ever noticed you don't see any buses in the 'old town' part of European cities.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostI'm not precisely a bus scientist, I should hasten to add.
Double-deckers don't take up less space on the road in any notable way!
They're not more likely to get stuck at junctions providing buses have priority at junctions which is a minor issue to address in cities.
They are at bus stops for less time so that makes up for taking up (marginally) more space at bus stops.
I'd imagine an evening parking space for buses can be sorted out Not least from the cost savings of using a bus model that is far cheaper.
You see bendy buses everywhere in European cities. In any case Dublin doesn't have any European style 'old town'.
There's no reason to keep them. Dublin started using them because London was using them and put no further thought into it. Almost nowhere else followed suit.
The key thing, in any case, is the advantages of bendy buses which is evident by their near universal use.
Have you accounted for bus frequency times along routes? That does impacts passengers load times at peak period.
Not much impact on space on road in a notable way?? It takes 50% less space, that is not marginal by any means.
Changing priorities at junctions is a minor issue? Dude, what are you basing that on? I don't know much about it, but I would imagine it is a lot more complex then just a flick of a switch... Traffic management programs for junctions at different times of day for real time patterns sound like a logistical nightmare.
Have you considered the difference in transport infrastructure models in Dublin compared to other cities and the reason why the bendy bus wouldn't be suitable.
I imagine there there has been research on introducing bendy buses by Dublin Bus in the past. There must have been issues otherwise we would have seen them introduced already, no?No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.

It seems like they are used pretty widely throughout the world.
