    If that was a Granda instead of a Granny then there would be a totally different vibe about this post.

    On the Aircoach, two Americans arguing:

    "Well, I'm more Irish than you! At least I was BORN here."

    "Yeah, well, my mom's name is Mary Fitzgerald!"

    Going through Dun Laoghaire. All of a sudden out of no where old lady sitting behind us just states loudly in a really posh south side accent

    "Your in Ireland you should speak only Irish or English".

    Was only after that that I noticed two Asian women were having a very quite conversation with each other in their language. Just made me so ****in angry. Women probably see's herself as the height of society and so on when all she is is a racist scumbag.

    Its just so hypocritical considering we had to travel to other countries for work for so many years too. I always get embarrassed for my country when I catch an irish person being racist. Pisses me off so much. The raw lack of human understanding an intelligence. Like BenedrylPete up there ^


    A positive story was as follows:

    Was running for the 145 on O'Connell street when my backpack unzipped with all the running and a bottle of beer flew out onto the road and smashed.

    Much do the delight of random knacks walkin past.

    Got on the bus and the driver was this smiley African bloke and he refused my leap card and said "saw you dropped your beer man, no charge".

    ****in sound. :cool:

    On the 40 from town the other evening, I listened to a mother very loudly teaching her 2 year old daughter in a buggy how to say "I'll batter ye!"

    This wasn't Dublin Bus but I thought of this thread when I heard it.

    Was in a shop this evening, a lady was there with her son. He kept wandering away and she kept calling him back; "Antiny! Come here to me!" "Antiny" kept wandering again.

    For a finish she said "Antiny, you'll get a slap and a half if you don't come back here"

    Antiny returned at this point, obviously that additional half slap is not to be ignored.

    If it was on Dublin Bus, it'd be "Anto", surely, wha?

    Also not on the bus but feck it...


    Couple around 60ish sit down at the table beside me. Waitress (foreign) informs them that the soup of the day is Celeriac.

    "What did you say?"

    "Celeriac"

    *couple look at each other puzzled* "Cellaari...?"

    "Celeriac"

    "Oh CELERY!"

    At this point the man decides to rather inappropriately inspect the girl's name tag (pinned on her chest :eek:)

    Waitress goes away and he looks over at me laughing a little

    "Hard to understand the accents, all that over celery"

    me: "eh, it's celeriac.."

    Everything I put here was true

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    On the 747 airport bus, driver announces "Terminal 2", American tourist asks "Which is the international terminal?"

    Everyone looks puzzled.

    They're both international. Not like we have a terminal dedicated to national flights.

    Perhaps they do at the airport nearest to where the yank lives. Being such a vast country, I'd imagine that there are a LOT of internal flights. I wouldn't fancy travelling from New York to LA overland. And he might have thought that any airport in a capital city (regardless of population) would have a terminal for internal flights only. That's all I can imagine in this case.

    I've been to plenty of airports that have separate terminals for domestic / international.

    Heck, i've been to countries that have separate AIRPORTS for domestic / international.

    It's a perfectly reasonable question though. Did ye expect some young fella American to know how many domestic flights the average Irish person takes, and whether that was enough to justify a separate terminal or not?

    Overheard on the 145 about three years ago.

    "He's too bleedin' lazy to get a job. If I had four kids I'd be out trying to find a job, but he's too lazy."
    "Why doesn't he get a hold of some coke and start selling it?"
    "Are ye deaf? I told ye he's too bleedin' lazy to get a job!"

    Not on a Dublin Bus, but on a bus from Dublin...

    It was a British woman, and she was sat a couple of rows behind me. She seemed...er..nice. Anyway, she rang someone on the phone and this is legit what she said.

    'My episode on Jeremy Kyle is going out on fursday. Yeah on fursday and we're having a party'

    There was a girl in front of me to started sniggering, then eventually put her phone against her ear and pretended she was laughing to her mate on the phone.

    There's nice people and dickheads everywhere. Height of society types, tend not to be bussing it, just the type that think their above people. And they my friends are the worst kind.
