    I heard there's an Armada of them.

    There really should be an Inquisition ?

    It's the same as every summer, so why do you wonder?

    A million? Do you estimate crowds for Pro Life groups when they are protesting?

    Been happening the past 30/40 years they come over to learn English. Kind of like when we send the kids to the gaelteach to learn Irish

    They're here every summer op.

    Hoards of them come over to learn English.

    As well as that they generally block footpaths, shops, busses & just cause a general nuisance.

    They never seem to look any older, though.

    A bit like the Artane Boys Band years ago.

    They are not being a nuisance by standing there????
    All I have ever witness them do was stand around and chat to eachother, no big deal.


    Imagine them standing on footpaths, and in shops, and being On Buses, the horror!!!!!!!!!!!! Who do they think they are?????

    I'm no good at judging the size of crowds Ted, but I'd say there's about seventeen million of them out there.

    Heroin, according to Popeye Doyle.

    They come in every single summer. We act like its a new thing every year.

    edit - I was walking into the village last night, and a whole load of spanish students were stuck in the park cos the main gates and stuff were locked. I laughed, and then assisted them in leaving.

    Yeah - when 10 kids stand blocking the doorway to a shop cos one of them is buying something in the shop i'd call that a nuisance. Especially when the fcukers dont move out of your way to let you in / out & you end up having to barge through them

    They also are notorious for engaging in shoplifting. This helps our native shoplifters as all eyes are on the Spanish lad while I'm shopping free.

    Most return home with little or no English. Some meet a handsome stranger who knows Bono and will be the absent father of their surprise Irish free gift.

    Thanks OP, there's been a shortage of Spanish student threads in AH this summer. I knew something wasn't quire right but I couldn't put my finger on it.

    First summer in the big shmoke?

    Kids away from home to learn English with their friends, chatter excitedly and explore their new surroundings in groups.

    That sums up the Spanish student situation.

    They're not just in Dublin. They've been coming to my town for over 30 years.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 854 ✭✭✭dubscottie


    Lad I knew worked security in a shops in Dublin city centre..

    He said the little fecks would come in 10-30 at a time, swarming the place and robbing whatever they could.

    It got so bad in one shop he worked in, that they would only let 3-4 of them in at the same time.

    It's just the anti-Irish Water protestors recruiting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,324 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude


    Its funny that they are learning English but don't talk it on the buses or the street.

    don't worry this happens every year

    If you think the Spanish kids over here are bad, you definitely wouldn't want to see what the Irish 16-21 year olds over in the Spain get up up to at this time of year.

    You would choke on your Earl Grey!
