Darlings going crazy on bus

Boombastic · 05-10-2012 4:58pm #1

Seat ripped up, skylights broken urinating on stairwell, opening emergency door, bus stopped by gardai on 4 occasions

All on the way to the ploughing match.

Driver reported to employers and told he had to collect them. He turned up at appointed time. When none of the students turned up after 15 minutes he left.

One of the little darlings mothers complained to gardai a the driver had to return to collect them

Can't find a link but it was just on rte news on the radio

I think the driver was right to leave them there and the parents should be ashamed of themselves? If you where the driver, what would you do?

Edit: the parents should be made to pay for the damage

I would have turned around and taken them back to the School, calling the Principal on the way. Why deliver this busload of muppets to a public event?

Incidentally, how were they allowed on the bus without teacher/adult supervision?

Whoever told the driver he had to collect the scumbags needs to grow a pair and his superiors should sack him.

I have no idea what's going on in this thread

they should all have their ar$e kicked and as for ther parent who complained:rolleyes:

I forgot they were drinking and smoking.

2hours bus journey Nenagh to New Ross
The poor driver

frozenfrozen · 05-10-2012 5:11pm

its organised by a parent, and all the kids just show up and go on their own and get langers on the bus. It's the parents fault. They let their UNDERAGE kids drink and go away on their own. I don't see how they can complain after they left them unsupervised and this happened...

Parents of children should be charged with the damages to the bus

vicwatson · 05-10-2012 5:12pm

I'd have driven the bus off the egde of the nearest cliff (and jumped out before the egde of course)

Boombastic · 05-10-2012 5:12pm

Yep and slapped with the smoking fine

Any person found guilty of breaching the ban on smoking in the workplace may be subject to a fine of up to €3,000. The owner, manager or person in charge of the workplace is legally responsible for ensuring that the ban on smoking in the workplace is complied with.

That would quieten them down

Here's a link

PK Executive Travel was hired by a couple of students in Borrisokane,
to ferry a group to the Ploughing championships on Wednesday.

But parents took to the airways the next day after the group was abandoned
in New Ross with no way home.

But it has now transpired that some of the group had consumed a large amount of
alcohol onboard the bus and caused substantial damage.

One parent also said that each teenager was charged 20 euro a head,
but the company say the driver was only paid 9 euro a head.

Now thank me:mad:

No I think you will find most of us haven't ripped up the seats on buses, we're not skangers.

Wtf?

MadsL · 05-10-2012 5:37pm

Sorry, let me get this straight. Instead of getting an education, teenagers are allowed out on a day's drinking unsupervised and parents and the school are fine with this?

Wtf?

The more I learn about transition year, the more I can't help thinking it is a colossal waste of time.

The were having a day out at the ploughing match. This happened on the way there.

He told Tipp Today, that a huge amount of alcohol was brought on board, parts of seats were ripped out, some urinated out the emergency door and the sky light was damaged after some of the group were throwing cans and bottles from the bus on to the road.

He also said he was willing to meet with parents concerned, to show them the photographic evidence of all damage that was caused.

:eek:

farmers in a field to see who can plough the best

To plough - The primary purpose of ploughing is to turn over the upper layer of the soil, bringing fresh nutrients to the surface, while burying weeds, the remains of previous crops, and both crop and weed seeds, allowing them to break down

I know what ploughing is :rolleyes: just wasn't aware it could be turned into a match.

No, but you have, is that what you're saying? you think getting pissed drunk on a bus, urinating, ripping up seats and generally behaving like a scumbag is acceptable behaviour and is just 'havin' the craic'?

If so your parents have a lot to answer for.

The parents of these kids should be presented with the bill for the damage to the bus. What the hell were they thinking allowing them to go off without adult supervision onboard? That bus driver would've been well within his rights to stop the bus on route, dump the trouble makers on the side of the road and ring the parents to tell them where to pick up their unsocialised little scrotes.

jugger0 · 05-10-2012 5:47pm

The parents should be publicly whipped and the children's eyebrows shaved off.

Where To · 05-10-2012 5:57pm

The driver shouldn't have left Borrisokane with them in the first place. He's as bad as them in fairness.
