My thanks to Slab and Conor who both sent me a pic of the speeding van which has found itself in a spot of bother on Pembroke Road this morning.
Sweet as sweet can be.
You may have my €80 and my two points but you’ve … erm … been temporarily clamped. You can use my money to pay for it.
Truly it is the circle of life.
Where do I find the post you made originally about the awarding of that contract?
April 1st?
My mate clamped a clamper’s van some years back and it was on the front page of local papers across North London and made it into the national press too.
We were ever so proud and bought him much beer. The taxpayer was okay too as at least they got one of their clamps back in good order. http://www.abd.org.uk/local/camden.htm
I passed that van this morning. Couldn’t believe my eyes. You know they’ll have it removed though without paying a cent.
In facta, I’m just wondering if the company who run the clamping operation in Dublin were in the tender mix for the speeding van contract and are out to get them? There’s something fishy going on with that whole business.
Mmmm. I wonder how many traffic wardens are going to get busted for speeding over the next few days. I can feel a Hatfield-McCoy type feud coming on. Should be fun.
Well at least some members of the establishement can be justly punished without needing a 14-year tribunal and millions of taxpayer euros.
With Clampers clamping Speedvans it won’t be long before Speedvans ticket Clamper vans and with a bit of luck all SpeedVans will be clamped and all Clamper vans will be ticketed off the road and they can all fuck off!
There we were driving along, me and my pal Conor, on a Sunny Recession fucked up Ireland day, when all of the sudden, in the middle of Pembrooke Road, there were Snappers running wild, cameras everywhere. People with mad smiles on their faces. Could it be the effects of €24 Billion fever. Then we saw it. Fucking lovely, Conor laughed. A Speed Detection Van clamped. The best laugh I’ve had in a month. Everyone we met was smiling.
Forget the National mood raised by wins in Rugby, Cricket or Soccer. More of this kind of stuff will keep us laughing all the way to oblivion.
Ah yea, Pembroke Road, that well known accident black spot…
Looks very posh!
I think that plan just might work……………..
What’s the paper in the window of the van? Was it left by the clampers or is it a ‘fuck off and don’t clamp us we’re above that kind of thing’ sign put there by the speedvan?
Anybody who speeds in the city shouldn’t get fined…they should be removed from their favourite toy, whipped until bandy, dusted off and placed carefully back inside their vehicle. Have a so-called “play street” in front of our house here in Germany. 7-8 is the speed limit. The fuckers drive their toys at 40, 50, 60 etc…no police controls. Fuck anybody playing outside or out for a stroll…sometimes I think of that scene in “Heat” when they come out of the bank…me legging it up the road after some bastard in a car with a combat rifle…
Murty the paper on the window of the van is a notice saying that it’s illegal to remove the clamp yourself etc.
The most effective speed control method is an elderly farming couple in an old maroon Jetta driving half in the hard shoulder, half out on an secondary N route somewhere in the midlands.
Or any fucker driving a Micra. Noddy cars. If I had my way these slomo’s who are a danger to all would be banned from driving anything else except Ferrari’s or some similar high powered car.

Conor just told me ’bout this one. Gogarty the cunt (‘Fuck you Mr. Stag’) has launched his singing career. Jesus wept…….
Ughhhhh! I’m going to be sick after that
I love that photo. Let them be thankful they were only clamped and not set on fire. Maybe that’s the next step for ISMI. When the scrappage scheme runs out they’ll lean on politicians to allow them to set illegally-parked vehicles on fire.
On the window will be a sticker that states “If you can read this, you’re probably
crispydead”.Just been watching News….ESB workers in the Offaly Peat plant….overtime compensation because part of the plant has to be repaired and their ovetime is affected. Are these guys for real. The rest of us are being fucked over re; wage cuts etc. Cunts. Don’t they realise the country is fucked and they want money for nothing. GET REAL, SMELL THE TURF
This is a personal note.
Twenty you talk the good talk but that is it really (ire)levant. The EU and the ECB own us, we are the walking dead. Now, here is what will happen…whoever is in Govt (fcukin joke) will agree with the ECB.. on a rate of return that is lower than 8% say 6%. We the tax payer will be burdened with this shortfall, all because of some fcukin shit flicker that felt he was entitled. So now the SAME FUCKING CUNTS THAT DID THIS are now reaping/rapeing the IRISH PEOPLE through their fuckin NAMA.
Ireland is an island of fucking PUSSIES…
Am i stupid or have the irish people just simply given up?
Yes and yes. Well…you left an opening.
Wake me when it’s all over…
I must say wheel-clamping is most uninspiring stuff for lively discussion….
Considering what is happening in Mise Eire at the moment, surely one can do better??
So, who put the clamp on?
It could only have been…..the Scorlesh Pimpernell of Dublin 4!
Twenty seems to have gone on the run …..
“Twenty seems to have gone on the run …..”
missing, inaction
get your finger out
Methinks, Sweet Delicious Justice! led him to Ron’s where he may have over indulged.

although he should be hung drawn and quartered for other things
I’m getting so much work done today.
Was probably clamped to stop it being stolen.
Dublin…
