Just Like Heaven
On a Ryanair flight to Paris, just as we got above the white, fluffy clouds and it felt like we were walking on them, I heard a little Irish kid's voice squeak matter-of-factly above the din "Oh look, we're in heaven!"

Kiwi for a brain
I was travelling on the ferry from Picton on the South Island of New Zealand to Wellington on the North Island when a girl from Dublin sitting next to me started moaning "Oh F*ck, f*ck". Thinking that she had left something behind before getting on the boat, people started asking her what was wrong, to which she replied "I bleedin' forgot to change me money from South Island dollars to North Island dollars".

Monday Bloody Monday!?!
Not overheard in Dublin but worth a post:
In Hyde Park for Live 8 at the weekend. English friend who was there with us asks this Irish girl what the meaning of a certain song was. She, trying to look intelligent says that it’s about Bloody Sunday up the North...
The song? - I don't like MONDAY's - Bob Geldof.
The Girl? - Embarrassingly one of my other mates there with us!
The moment? - Priceless!

Roll up, Roll up
Was on the 46A last night, and 3 skangers get on with cans of beer in hand and sit at the back upstairs. One of them shouts, "jaysus lads, we're on the 46A, its 11 o'clock, it must be legal to skin up a joint"
So they proceeded to roll up.
yeah, but dont let them catch you before 11........

I was working in Dunnes Stores when I was about 17 and I was unpacking shoes boxes or something one day when I overheard two women having an argument. After a few heated exchanges, one of them walked over to me and thrust a pair of kids pyjamas under my nose and said "Here! Are dese for young wans or young fellahs?!"

Classy Lassy
I was waiting for a bus opposite Connolly station yesterday, when this guy lights up a cigarette, then realizes that his bus is coming so he has to dump it. He leaves it in the cigarette part of the bin, but doesn't stub it out, and hops on his bus. I'm standing there, and this woman wanders over, and says "Did you leave that there?" referring to the still-smouldering cigarette. I said no, and she goes "For f**k's sake." and I thought she may have been about to launch into some kind of rant about littering or something. But then she stayed hovering around the bin for the next few minutes, and inching her way closer. Next, she took out her phone, and leaned on top of the bin to do some texting, but I kept watching to see if she was gonna do what I thought she was gonna do, and sure enough, as soon as I turned my head, out of the corner of my eye, I saw her pluck the still smoking ciggie from the bin and start puffing away.

Next Stop is...uh???
On the 46a bus on the way into town the other day. Comin down Dawson St. and with all the works going on at O'Connell St, wasn't sure where the next bus stop was. So I asked the Bus driver what was the next bus stop.
Note: this bus driver was of African origin, and had some problems understanding my question, you'd think he'd have heard this question numerous times.
So after several repetitions of "What's the next bus stop?"
I finally got a reply: "I don't know" from the bus driver.
Needles to say I was a bit stunned, so I repeated slowly, "You don't know the next bus stop?"
And his reply was, the same "Yes, I don't know"
Needles to say I hopped off the bus there and then...
