Irish Water was doing upgrade works last year (24/7 works for a number of months) and had to dig up much of a road and resurfaced it - was a perfect surface. Apparently it was a temporary surface, the permanent surface they laid wasn’t as good as what was there before

The Lancers are past the "use by date", they have an availability rate way under 50%, the accident rate is almost F104 like and out of the 110 modernised between 1995 and 2000 only 28 are still airworthy. They are being replaced with second hand F16s which can also be obtained if we wanted to go down that road.

No clip will do justice to how horrible it sounds. That crackle noise is when you try to stick your fist into your ear to block it out.
