Judgemental junkies

Sanjuro

Alliteration aside, since when did junkies gain such discerning tastes?! I was exiting Tara Street Dart station no more than 20 minutes ago, on my merry way to work. As I walked out into the street, one of the crusty, red-faced, mumbling trolls points to my face and starts rambling on about 'stayuryurmanzfayyyyyze' and other such eloquent observations. Now, granted, currently my face looks a bit like somebody took to it with a red-hot cheese-grater. I came off a bike on Sunday and used my face to break the fall, to comically damaging effects. But have these people never heard the phrase 'people in glass houses shouldn't throw bricks'? Where's The Citizen when you need some etiquette justice handed out?!

Everyone knows Tara St. Dart station as mentioned in the OP is in Dublin.

Why do we need to have this same stupid conversation every time a street in Dublin is mentioned?

That WAS the Citizen! He's currently working undercover as a junkie in order to infiltrate the supply line and zero-in on the drug barons. You almost blew his cover there. :mad: Just play along next time.

As a committed proponent of provincial rights, I think the mention of 'dart' passes muster. So no problem with that.

It won't happen anymore when your face heals. You could have laughed it off but decided instead to post the story here, hoping the ensuing junkie bashing would provide a salve for your injured ego. Man up.

I used to work in a homeless hostel and I'll never forget what one of the residents said to me, with a look of pure revulsion, 'I may be homeless but at least I'm not from Sligo!'

Because the culchie brain is built differently to normal peoples' and has great difficultly retaining facts that aren't related to Tayto, Garth Brooks, sillage, the 'bleedin Brits', Big Tom or Crystal Swing.

Wow. I most certainly have been schooled. Maybe it's just a talking-point. You know, on a message board that caters mostly for bullshit? If it really is a problem for me, I probably should have posted something on PI. But no, no. You're right. My ego really was damaged by some comment made by some randomer on the street. I'll go nurse the ego by myself now. Thank you. Thank you for showing me the err of my ways. I am endebted to you, sir.

In the same way that dubs think they're travelling abroad if they have to go to a football match outside 'town'.

Que lots of panicked questions about whether large bottles of Bulmers & John Player Blues are sold outside Dublin.

'Tara Street Dart station'

As a northsider going to Grafton St for me is going foreign.

At 44 I still bring my passport for ID into Templebar, not because I look young but incase I'm stopped at passport control on the Ha'Penny bridge of course.

DART stands for Dublin Area Rapid Transit.

Its not the OP's fault if you can't figure out Dublin is being talked about!

Thank God they don't have it in Fermoy, or we might have Dudess telling us about her FART's.. (If she lived in Fermoy).

you should have either shot them with your pistol or struck them down with your rapier...while stating "Thou art consumers of opiates, abusers of the queen's english, i shall de-ball you and use your scrotum as a purse...or maybe a man bag!"

I believe the correct response the "Stayuyurmansfaayyyse" is to point back and shout "Dehackayur".
