Que "THIS ISN'T THE DUBLIN FORUM!"

Which it isn't. I've always found the Luas grand when up in Dublin, everyone sits down peacefully, gazing out the windows. Like sheep being ferried around. Suppose the craziest I'ver ever seen it was before the Munster vs Leinstir rugby match in Croke Park. It was a different story coming home though.

The first time I was ever on the Luas I ending up sitting near three English guys who were all obsessive Laurel and Hardy fans. They were in Dublin for some kind of Laurel and Hardy convention, were wearing dozens of badges with pictures of Laurel and Hardy, and talked constantly about their favourite Laurel and Hardy films. It was a little bit surreal.

on the luas sometime last year going into town... got on at the red cow and the luas was empty enough (just came out of the parking area) so me and my mate (tom) got on and took up 2 chairs each... it was empty so why not. so when slowly it start to get a few customers but still not even half full... then we hit heuston and a heard of culthies ploughed onto it. so seats full and a fair few people standing. we got to museum when a few more people got on but a bloke got on (about 30) with a long blonde wig, a big womans dress and a granny bag pushing thing and also had a bit of a beard :eek:

he was a complete nutter and the bloke beside me started taking the complete piss out of him while getting the bang of vodka of the nutter.. it was hilarious

That was the worse story I ever heard.

seen a couple of fights breaking out but nothing to major

Personally I blame those culthies, they are always taking up seats on the luas.
Taking our jobs and stealing our women.

Are they rural folk who have formed some kind of crazy religous sect?

I had an entirely different recollection of how the story went... Something to do with "Culthies" and a man in a dress

I guess my memory just isnt the best.

It's not our fault Dublin women love us. Especially those D4s. They find a culchie pulling up beside their Ferrari's in a tractor sexier than...well themselves.

I understand the culchie thing, but what about culthies ? I'm wondering if there's a new sub species of culchie we haven't heard about yet.

InkSlinger67 · 19-08-2009 10:45PM

I know if I say "One time I seen a guy streak the length of the Luas" I'm gonna get a heap of "Oh that was me!!!" replies, so no thanks.

The Luas is one of the least interesting places on earth. Unless you like staring at people, then it's Disneyland!

TheZohanS · 19-08-2009 10:45PM

So you abuse people just because the didn't like or couldn't understand your story?

Danbo! · 19-08-2009 10:47PM

Well, they're not quite mops, not quite puppets, but man...

So, to answer you question, I don't know.

stepbar · 19-08-2009 10:47PM

I can't wait for Primary School to start back..........

beauty101 · 19-08-2009 10:48PM

Was getting the luas late one night last Christmas when the Luas runs til 3am. Got on at Ballally and was heading to Stephen's green. At Windy Arbour this drunk fecker comes on with a smoke in his mouth-he's about 18.

Then luas was half full and he was screaming Fairytale of New York at the top of his lungs, after a few mins the driver comes on the intercom and tells him to shut up or he'll call the gards. At Cowper 2 of his friends get on-also bladdered and with their cans of Royal Dutch. They're sitting in one of those booths for 4 people. He asks one of is friends can he have their can cos he needs to take a p*ss and they say no, he asks the other and it's the same answer. So he stumbles through the Luas asking people if they have a can/bottle for him cos he's "fookin burstin"...nobody gives him anything.

At tis stage we're around Ranelagh, everybody is fed up with him smoking and he driver not carrying out his threat. A random guy tells him to get off and go to the toilet then catch the next Luas to town, but he says he didn't buy a ticket and can't afford to buy one and the ticket checkers are "definitely" on the next luas, he says. So in his state he heads up to the driver and asks can he wait for him at Charlemont so he can take a p*ss, the driver obviously ignores him. Next second he's peeing all over the seat next to his friend! And then sits in it! :eek:

Its a rarity when something is so rambling and incoherent that all of AH turns against it, but Im afraid your post was just that. And what happens if we don't like the new story? Are you just going to keep changing it indefinitely?

OP, you cannot abuse posters just because they quite rightly don't get your post.
It's not allowed in After Hours.
Maybe take a break to read the Charter.

Banned.

I've seen a couple of weird things while on the Luas [red line].

Funniest thing I saw was this man who must have been about 60, dressed in drag - red lipstick in the beard, frilly dress, stilettos, blonde wig, calling himself "Mandy"- flashing these two scumbag kids as they got off the tram.

They got on for a few stops, started teasing him, asking if he was going home to his boyfriend - so he shouted after them when they were getting off, and whipped up his dress to reveal himself!

Like. deers. caught. in. headlights.
:pac:

ScumLord · 19-08-2009 11:11PM

I was on the Luas once! I saw it soon after it opened and it was wedged with people all stuffed in like sardines so I didn't bother.

I prefer the ones in Amsterdam, "bong - Rembrantplien - bong". Bollix I should have got off this thing 4 stops ago.

jumpguy · 19-08-2009 11:16PM

What's with that weird "bong bong" noise the Luas makes? It sounds like it's coming from nowhere...

stovelid · 19-08-2009 11:16PM

I was on the red line on at least three separate occasions last year where there wasn't a single junkie in my carriage.
