STAND CLEAR! Luggage Doors Operate!

Dr. Baltar · 18-04-2008 03:01AM #1

For those of you who have ever used a bus, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Bus Éireann, shame on you! Your grammar is apalling.

KnifeWRENCH · 18-04-2008 03:05AM

Heehee I love that guy's voice.:D:D
I thought the last word was "operating",except he says it in such a culchie way it's more like "operatin' "

Possibly, I always thought it just said "Operate" and I always scowled everytime I heard it.

It's as if "whoa! it actually operates"

The only possible way to make that any better is to have the voice done by E4 guy.

Maybe it's like..

Autobots! Transform and roll out!

... or something.

MizzLolly · 18-04-2008 03:13AM

Hahahaha.... Genius thread! I laugh so much everytime I hear it.

"Stand clear, luggage doors operrrraaaaatin'!"

Hahaha, so funny!!!!!

Dr. Baltar · 18-04-2008 03:16AM

How do you even pronounce that distinctive Irish "t" that sounds like a hiss?

ttttssss

Luggage dewrs opp-er-ayittttssss

SHUT UP.
Honestly that is SO the last thing I need to have looping through my head right now. Insomnia coffee a deadline and operating luggage doors DO NOT MIX.

I think you'll find it's "This train is for Bray, Bré."

There are actually a suprising amount of threads created on this!

Stupid bus.

Stercus Accidit · 18-04-2008 10:42AM

It clearly says operate, not operating.

I had an argument with someone before on this, listen for gods sake, use your ears, not your imagination!

I am passionate about this.

BrianD3 · 18-04-2008 10:48AM

I think the guy who recorded that message works (or used to work) in Busaras, making announcements, directing people to their buses etc. I remember him as being helpful and pleasant - unlike many of the grumpy bollixes that you come across working in that place.

Bendihorse · 18-04-2008 11:07AM

We stayed in an appartment in Westport before, when you got into the lift this real culchie girl spoke in the flaaatest accent:

'Doorshs Openin'

'Doorshs Closin'

'Goin Up'

'Fhrisht Floor'

'Doorshs Openin'

And so on... Was so funny the first few times but started to grate thereafter.

You are passionately wrong. It's operating.

Why do they say the place names in Irish but not the "This train is for" bit?

Yes, it's "operating".

Museum, Ard Museum

'Alight at dundrum for bus services' I've only ever heard alight being used in conjunction with trains/platforms and the like. Can one alight from ones car too?

Also female voices in lifts 'Going Down' in a posh english accent, yes please!

zAbbo · 18-04-2008 01:43PM

The NYC subway in a rather come-on-down/price-is-right voice - "Stand clear for the closing doors

"

They're not very good at Irish.

They tried asking for help in the Teach na nGealt, but were shunned

The Gnome · 18-04-2008 01:53PM

Hmmm.. I always though it was "Stand Clear. Luggage doors in operation."

ScumLord · 18-04-2008 01:55PM

He clearly says operate!

I've has arguements about this before, there's no "ing" at the end. :rolleyes:

NextSteps · 18-04-2008 02:04PM

Well, it's obviously a direct order to the luggage doors - kind of an Open Sesame. But why do they have to stand clear?

Karoma · 18-04-2008 02:05PM

Stand clear; nitpicking nerds operate.

Stand clear; nitpicking nerds operate.

Do they pronounce the 'Bré' part with a silly falsified Gaeilge accent, like your one does on the Luas?

STAND CLEAR! Luggage Doors Operate!
