    40 off them arrive en masse with their huge bright orange plastic back packs to the bus stop, then they all pile on, screeching at the top of their voices and grooming each other, picking at their hand faces etc.

    hate them

    We get a few thousand teenagers whose biggest crime is that they are a noisy on public transport and who sometimes block the footpath.. The Spaniards get tens of thousands binge drinking 18-30 Irish year olds running amok over there in return. I think we get the thin edge of the wedge on this one.

    before they all head to the pub to share 2 pints between 12 of them.

    Hold on. Its that time of year. I'll get started then...

    So lets talk about the irish dicks that are pissed/sunburnt/jersey wearing/loud/fighting etc every summer that head on holidays in spain.

    I'd much rather loud students that are talking to eachother in groups. I have yet to see them doing anything else.

    Far better than having the local drug addicts bothering you looking for money.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,642 ✭✭✭MRnotlob606


    I'd say they are having the Spanish equivalent of "craic"

    They never look like they're having the craic. They look miserable as sin.

    Self loathing much?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 172 ✭✭Steve_Carella


    Teenagers travelling as a group in a new country being noisy and excited? How dare they! I've never heard anything so outrageous in my life!

    Nope, I'm just loathing a sizeable amount of Irish people that think they are cool because they drink a lot.

    You were slagging Spaniards that had two glasses between them. So what, why should they drink more???

    They do tend to be up for a fight at the drop of a hat. Chill out lads :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    Not confined to Spanish students...get a bus that goes through Beaumont hospital and you will see worse from Indian/Asian students.

    Have even witnessed it with Irish students too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,574 ✭✭✭HalloweenJack


    Kids from different country in different culture shocker.

    In fairness, if you spend any amount of time in Spain, you'll realise that all the people here are like that. The kids just pick it up from their surroundings. Spaniards are a gregarious bunch and don't have any kind of volume control. They've a different concept of social interaction.

    Add to that, the Spanish kids who go to Ireland are spoilt rich kids away from home for probably the first time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,277 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    I work in a big hostel in town the Spanish students are nothing compared to the English on stag and hen do s every Fecking weekend.

    A lot of forgieners are notoriously tight when traveling especially younger ones. Some of the things I've seen and been asked for in there all you can do is laugh basically :-).

    The Americans well there on a whole other level......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 80 ✭✭Phil Mitchell


    Loud but very well behaved. The students that come over are usually from middle/upper-middle class families. Whilst we offer them Joxer and Jacinta and their 6 ratty faced kids for a week in the summer.

    Kids getting excited on their holidays in a foreign country.The bastards.

    Just ignore them, you whinge bags.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,949 ✭✭✭✭IvyTheTerrible


    I always find it strange that people laugh at European foreigners being "mean" with money - French and Spanish people earn significantly less than the average Irish person, also credit was a lot harder to get in France at least than Ireland so people here just have to be more careful with their money.

    Don't think it's necessarily the rich kids anymore like it was in the 80s.


    I have to stand up for Spanish teens though - they're generally lovely ime and are better behaved than gangs of teens from other countries can be. The Spanish are noisy and travel in packs - that's what they do and they're not out to annoy people by doing it - it's their thing!

    Very true. Ireland would be insanely expensive for a person on an average salary in Spain and as I said above, it's not just the rich kids coming over now like when I was a kid.
