When going to Heuston Station on a Friday evening, 2 big ladies barged their way onto the Luas at Jervis street. When we got to the Musuem I stood off to let some other passenger get out. As I was getting back on with my bag (which was a small backpack which was down by my feet) she looked at me and said "This is the problem with space on the Luas, People bringing bags on!"

What could you say to that!

Was in canteen in work and overheard this conversation being held between two work colleagues - one a true Dub, the other a man from Cameroon:

Cameroon man: (scratches his head and looks at me)
