To use the primary road from Cork to Dublin… primary as in main, national, government classified “non-boreen” road from Cork to Dublin, has suddenly gone up another 10c to €1.70. Where has this come from!? The road is only open a wet day and they’re already increasing the toll. Seems to me like they are suffering from a lack-of-use-itus! And the crafty whores decided to increase the price on the busy bank holiday weekend, with everyone running around the country just because the clouds parted for a few days. I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes back to €1.60 after this weekend!
I’ve just come through there now. I usually bring a clove or two of garlic when going through the toll booths at night, just to keep the blood suckers at a distance, but with the sun today I figured it would be worth the risk. So driving up to the barrier with my €1.60 in my hand hanging out the window, ready to pay into the NRA collection plate, I suddenly spy the most amateurish sign stuck on the wrong side of the toll machine: “cars now €1.70”. All it was short of was it to be written in crayon. So I feverishly look around the cockpit, check my jeans, fumble under the car seat… for drama, I was going to say that cars were queuing behind me, but in reality there wasn’t even one beside me! I found another 10c, and fucked the whole lot into the basket. When the barrier went up, I gave the NRA another two presents: 2 solid black lines of rubber! With the close confines of the toll booth creating such a wonderful reverb, it really is quite satisfying to smoke up the tires coming out of it!
