Do you talk to people on the Dart/bus/Train?

investment · 16-04-2011 02:47AM #1

I've traveled quiet a lot around Ireland in the last year, and one thing has hit me. People don't talk anymore. I think its quiet sad and I'm a young man

Why have we become like this? It wasn't like this 30 years ago in Ireland

This is a serious question even for A.H. Are we losing our humanity

I wouldn't want to talk to a bunch of fcukers who don't let people off the bloody train before trying to barge their way on.

A lot of the time too, public transport is a person's only time to be alone in a way, that day. I know it was the case for me before. So I'd like to spend the time with myself listening to music..reading..whatever.

When I'm on the train with friends, we usually bring a card game or something with us. Generally ask anyone sitting next to us if they want to play.

I usually have headphones in and regardless of what somebody asks me i usually answer "sorry, i dont smoke!".

We don't partake in idle chit chat as much these days as our souls have been ripped from our soon to expire carcasses by spiritual vampires masquerading as politicians. We have nothing left to give so keep to ourselves in the hope that we can still live a small simple existence scattered with a few chosen pleasures. Talk to me at your own risk, cause I'm running on empty and it's only a matter of time before just a little piece of small talk sent my way will inconvenience me to point of snapping, as I am just rocking back and forth on the fine line between minding my own business and making you and your family my lunch. Still wanna say hello?

No because I'm bad at small talk and very sensitive to awkward silences.

Hello Pete?

How's she hanging'?

Wolfe Tone · 16-04-2011 03:07AM

Only if they are good looking women of a similar age, or they are the type who when you make accidental eye contact they smile at you.

Otherwise I break out my law books to impress people.

You think that's impressive?

I like to sit in the back seat & roll my cock out up to the front of the bus, like a welcome carpet for people getting on.

That impresses them even more.

public transport is a silent disco, did you not get your earphones in the post

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

Just turn around there for a second ..

what Do you think of Take That ?

OutlawPete · 16-04-2011 03:30AM

In '87, Huey released Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

I was just about to ask you the same question about Take That!

Storminateacup · 16-04-2011 03:34AM

No i dont. And i HATE when people try talk to me. I stop short at rolling my eyes at them. When Ive got my ipod in and theyre still trying to make conversation?

FU.CK OFF.

Seriously. I dont care where youre going or how many kids youve got. Shut up. I can see that its a nice/horrid day. i dont need a running commentary.
