The icecream van

PlainP

Its November, winter time, and the icecream van is outside peddling his wares.

Do these people ever not work, who buys icecream at 6 pm in winter...

Maybe it's just the music that gets my blood boiling, is it not like trying to sell hats and scarves in summer time?

This thread is too big, there's an echo.. Someone shut the doors down the back, it'll leave the thread easier to heat as well. And would Ms Daisydoodles please throw some more Turf on the fire, it's feckin chilly. Waay too cold for Ice-cream anyway. They should switch to selling drugs, change the musice to "eezagood eezagood, ebeneezer good". Bet you'd be amazed which of the neighbours you'd see rushing out to get their "Icecream".

That is just a huge myth that they're a cover for drugs. They're more like a travelling shop, they don't just sell ice-cream, they sell bottled drinks, bars, crisps etc.

It's weird that an ice-cream van stops at the drug-ridden estate next to mine every night, but doesn't come into my estate ever...

And stopped every night outside a big druggy house across the street from me when I was living in Dublin, and nowhere else on the street.

Not sure it's a myth, TBH.

Our icecream man is the most ignorant man alive.

He once barked at a young lad to "wait until he had finished talking" then drove off causing about 30 children to run crazy after it.
There was words and between him and a few locals in the council estate and hurleys produced.
Sum of the earth icecream man he was.

I love how angry you get.:) Scum of the earth icecream man is such a funny image. I'm picturing a 6 foot 5 block of a man with knuckledusters on both hands, and his name is "spud".

What's weird is that there's a crime-ridden estate next to your lovely estate, I don't really buy that, people are so goddamn paranoid, I've seen this thread pop up a good few times on boards now and everyone says the same thing....drugs drugs drugs, it's BS

Why is that weird? My estate is nothing special, but seriously, in most cities, you'll see most affluent areas brushing shoulders with less salubrious ones.

But you don't have to believe me, that's your call.

So if it's not the demon drugs, how do you explain people trying to sell icecream at weird hours and seasons?

Where I come from, we used to call the ice cream van Popeye. To this day and it is one of the remaining mysteries of my childhood why he was called that. I didn't live in the middle of the sticks, or live in whatever place you good souls of AH will come up with. It was just the name he was called when he came to our avenue. I doubt very few will know but I come from a town where the men are men and so are the women...it's a comment I've heard a few times, and it always makes me laugh.

"Sorry kids, when the music plays that means they're out of ice cream".

Has worked for me many a time.

Sure if we waited for the weather to eat ice cream, nobody in Ireland would ever get diabetes.

Stoners need sweets.

I can vouch for the drugs thing. my ice cream man sells loose cigarettes too.

When I was in primary school my schoolbus driver's husband was an ice cream man and one day after we all got on the schoolbus he turned up in the ice cream van and gave us all 99s with red and green sauce. Best day ever!

children naturally like sweet things, whatever the weather
