I was on the bus into town today for the oul festivities, sun shining and was in grand form. Cue a few rowdy teenagers down the back of the bus. This is how the conversation went with one girl on the phone to her friend:
"Alreeet wer uuuuu? Im on da bus der in a minut"
Blah blah
Whaaa..roit...ill meet ya at the river...eh ..da liffey...yeh the liffey thas wha its called innit the big river near the spiral?"
Blah
Blah
"Ah jaysus is thats too far roight...see ya at the spiral so bud in ten"!

Actually burst out laughing as i couldnt believe the ignorance of the girl not knowing if she was correct about the name of the Liffey and naming the Spire the Spiral! What is being taught or learnt for that matter in our schools? Unbelieveable!:rolleyes:

I know, I was talking to someone the other day who didn't know the difference between the word 'cue' and 'queue'. Can you believe that shit?

Hrm... if only Boards had some type of forum specifically for Dublin and its environs. *Stroking chin*

Why should the national curriculum include the distance from the Spire to the Liffey? Not much good to someone in Monaghan or Cork.

I used to work with a woman who would say "I love Nestlé chocolate" except she pronounced it to rhyme with vessel. How the f can you not have heard the word Nestlé; it used to be sung the Milky Bar ad ffs.

Being in Monaghan or Cork isn't much good for them either.

OP, believe it or not but there are literally millions of very dumb people living in this country right now who are oblivious to anything in the world that doesn't directly effect the minutaie of their pointless little lives.

She probably watches Fair Sh*tty, Eastenders, corrie and Emmerdale. Then watches anything with Simon Gowell, where ye have to text/ ring, to vote, spending £'s. The dregs of society, that's all.

Idiocracy, the movie, has some valid points. watch it for a laugh, and a scare. :eek:

So when she needs a new iron or whatever she goes down to the local Argo?

Brilliant.

I don't think anyone should ever be surprised by what our learned friends who populate the upper back seating areas of buses come out with.

Ok, Im not from Dublin, but I knew for years that there is a tunnel going under the Phoenix Park that the Guinness brewery used to use to send kegs up to Castleknock, via mini rail link.. the tunnel still exists... I was listening to Gerry Ryan a few years back, and discovered that he didnt even know that it was there... I have many other examples from living in Dublin over the years

No she didn't. It should be "cue" - the OP said "queue". You're both wrong.
