Operation Freeflow came into effect this week. The annual “get a load of trainee Gardaí up from Templemore and plonk them in the middle of the Red Cow Roundabout and make them stand there like muppets” festival has gotten off to a flying start this year. Some Dubliners haven’t been home now since Monday morning, and there are reports that many have taken to camping on roadsides and roundabouts accross the city.
Several new communities have also sprung up in these unlikely surroundings as a result, and there are complaints about the lack of basic facilities such as plasma screen TVs and trays of Budweiser.
The Gardaí have, however, started to deport these poor unfortunates because they mistook them for Romanian beggars.
Operation Freeflow? Operation Ask Me Bollix more like.
I fully expect to be overtaken by Christy Brown in his little wooden handcart tomorrow morning.

I don’t get it. Last week it took me 45 minutes to drive 10 miles or so into work.
Monday and Tuesday this week, after freeflow started, it took me over an hour..
Didn’t this USED to work?
It did indeed. I used to lament the day in January when it ceased. But them was simpler days my friend…
Oh wait. It was only last year. Sort it out pigs!
I saw a garda today directing traffic and I swear he was they guy in the picture lol!
Did you ever notice that the first day of Operation No Flow is always rainy. So you can sit on the bus and go out of your mind or get off and walk and get wet to the arse.
