Chavs playing music on buses

    Is it just me or is this the single worst thing that can occur on a bus journey? Chav scum down the back of the bus with a mobile phone blaring out the latest "tunes". Yesterday 3 muppets of this variety sprawled across the back seats upstairs with the radio on loudspeaker on a packed bus. Fvckin twats do my head in.

    Lemme Guess. A "Rave" Cover of an old 80's Cheesy pop song sung in Chipmunk style Voice?

    Yeah and its usually "Alvin the chipmunks greates hits" too.They bastards allways have to be impinging on people,whether its playing music,smokeing,shrieking or throwing things.A lifetime of being fed nothing but Tartrazine and Chicken nuggets does that to ya.

    very annoying alright but thankfully i rarely travel on a bus without my mp3 player so that does trick.

    have seen people tell them to shut up and threaten to break thier phones before. on a packed bus they usually oblige cos they are way out numbered.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 729 ✭✭✭scruff321


    i hate that word chav i prefere to call them shammers! although you are right very,very annoyin


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,372 ✭✭✭The Bollox


    there was a gaggle of them on the bus 2 weeks ago with portable speakers. they played that f*cking Umberella song 3 times in a row before going back to rave sh*te. ****!

    And don't forget some British guy shouting something incomprehensible and then cue crazy tempo:

    "dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun"!! *high pitched and very fast* I WANNA STAND WITH YOU ON A MOUNTAIN....................dun-dun-dun-dun-ba-bi-ba-ba-baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.........I WANNA STAND......"

    God, it all sounds the goddamn same!! I had a same twat on my bus home last Friday playing the same godawful tune over and over and over again on loudspeaker!! I was litteraly 2 seconds away from knocking his fúckin' teeth out for the ignorance except his battery died!! Still wish I popped him, though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,289 ✭✭✭Howard the Duck


    Yea this does my head in too..happened to me on Friday ..the same chipmonk crap. But luckily i had my ipod...i never sit upstairs on the bus unless i have it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,305 ✭✭✭jobonar


    actually there is something equally annoying.

    coming home from work 1 day last week and 3 skanger girls get on and go straight down the back of the bus. they then start to sing that Beautiful Girls song and none of the 3 had a note in their head. the windows couldnt have taken much more when they finally got off. they'll be on the x-factor blooper reel in a few years without a doubt.

    agreed unless im smoking drugs or blaring my mobile phone i dont sit upstairs:D :D

    I don't so much mind the tunes but its the gawd damn awful quality of the recording which really gets my goat! It sounds like 8 bit shíte they've probably recorded by holding the phone up to the radio, why the hell blare something so distorted!?!

    Well you mgiht as well call them chavs because I saw one around Galway yesterday with a Burberry hap and that's the first sign. :eek:

    The bus is for poor people, immigrants, the unemployed, coffin dodgers, smelly students and other social rejects. It serves you all right for getting on it.

    Told some girls on the 18:37 from Connolly a few weeks ago to turn their chipmunk music off or the phones were going out the window at Broomebridge. They turned it off... somehow doubt I'd have had the balls to tell it to some skanger lads on a half empty bus mind.

    The word 'Chav' kinda reminds me of Little Britain or something! In Ireland theyre more commonly known as Skangers or Knacks...either way they are all of the same persuasion so we know who we are talking about.

    Yeah I'll second that. Blaring this sh1te through a crappy phone speaker just makes it even worse. Stop forcing it upon other people's ears!!!!!

    Didn't nokia recently release a phone that has 2 sets of speakers that fold out from it?

    God help us all if they start getting them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25 zaphod_ie


    Was over in Birmingham recently visiting a mate and he was telling me it's been happening over there for about a year now. It's almost become accepted. the worst is when two different groups try to out do each other, so you have rave crap on one side and dodgy pop on the other

    now that would be horrible. you'd have such a headache getting off the bus


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 264 ✭✭Plissken1


    F*** ! I can't get that chipmunk tune out of my head now !. The rave version of a Brian Adams song that they are always playing down the back of the bus. Little chavy ****.

    Please dont use the word chav, it has no place in ireland!

    the real question is if the skangers were playing good music, would it bother us as much??? :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 882 ✭✭✭cunnins4


    my younger brother of 17 is one of these types......

    that's the gas thing, part of it was chipmonks on acid, the other part was the killers, but they kept switching between it so much it was driving mad. Plus the sh1te quality of it all just takes down any decent music!

    well as his older brother its your duty to the nation and mankind as a whole to kick seven shades of ****e out of him and lodge his phone up his pooper.

    lets see if he plays music from it then!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    If you are going to play any sort of music on a bus, at least play it through something decent, not some crap loudspeaker with rubbish sound. Draw them all into a cattle pen with that shite dance music and then wipe them all out! :)

    both of his older brothers have tried, and failed. Being the hard chav that he is, he cries to mammy who proceeds to kick said brothers out of the house. I'm a poor student who's far too comfy to be kicked out for a chav. He'll be 18 next year, then he's fair game....hehehe!

    Plus, i just deny he exists, that usually solves things when someone says "i saw pics of your brother on bebo looking like a spa chav...." i just say "my brother died when he discovered Scooter".

    Lol has happened many times with a few of my friends....maybe theres a subliminal message mixed in with the chipmonks that brainwashes otherwise sound people into chipmonk lovers?!?!:eek:

    haha scooter very good
    But not being in touch with the younger skangers I am wondering do they make good pets if you train them and dont let them upstairs in the house. I was on about getting a pet. Do you need to get them sorted in the old pants (sorry trackiebottom!) department before letting them inside, I do notice alot seem to have there hands down there for hours on end. I guess they know someone might be on for sorting them out to avoid problems if they get in heat.:confused:

    Very good pets indeed, my brother's well house trained, observe his genius:

    He gets his trousers and tucks them into his socks. Now for most people, the old trousers would sneak down your leg and become released from the sock, but oh no, not my bro, ya see i'm not the only genius in the family. He very cleverly takes two hair bands and sticks one around the bottom of each leg so as to ensure that said trousers remain firmly tucked into said socks. Einstein i tell ya. No messy chavs in my gaf. Word.

    i'm not in work, why am i on AH????:confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 668 ✭✭✭mise_me_fein


    **** it, if it really bothered anyone that much they should have told them to turn it down.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 827 ✭✭✭Brian Capture


    How come these skangers / chavs never have any decent music like say, Modest Mouse or Sonic Youth?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86 ✭✭ansionnachclist


    Cos they're tone deaf. It's an outrage, kids these days have no taste in good music what so ever. And I'm 19 :D.

    Yeah, when we don't call scum "scum" it shows Political Correctness (Cultural Sensitivity) has truely run amuck.

    Anyway who cares what their musical tastes are, let them listen to whatever they want as long as they aren't subjecting the rest of us to it. Sadly though I don't think there's any laws or even bus regulations against this sort of behaviour...

    My little brother and sister listen to the cr*p your on about but I know they won't be listening to it once the go past 18 or 19.

    That's the way it is for most people. The ones that listen to that muck that are older than 20, yeah they are scumbags usually, but why don't you have some of your own music ready like bring on some stuff u know will piss them off
