    I don't use the Luas much, but frankly, I am bored of her and her voice.

    It's time she got the P45.

    Whose voice would you like to hear announce the stops of the Luas?


    James Earl Jones would be quite stirring.
    Morgan Freeman would be rather wistful.


    Whose voice would you least like to hear announce the stops of the Luas?


    Off the top of my head, Shirley Temple-Bar would go through my head, and anyone with a D4-esq accent.

    Mariella Fostrop (sp?) would do a good job of it.

    I like it. :D

    Maybe inbetween stops they could have Bart & Lisa saying

    'are we there yet?'
    'are we there yet?'
    'are we there yet?'
    'are we there yet?'
    'are we there yet?'

    How about the guy from all those 80s/90's movie trailers?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,834 ✭✭✭Sonnenblumen


    How about Leprechauns doing the voice overs and Riverdance as background music, recreating that a soothing but similar atmosphere to 'One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest' and meanwhile all those 'Ireland is great' fans will continue feeling good about themselves.

    HI-HO
