Final words.......

Was on Luas red line, about 10 passengers in total, including a couple sat right next to me. We're at the back of Busaras headin across to Connolly. Delightful scanger lady with daughter (about 6) and daughter's scooter in tow.

Scanger lady had already said a few gems, but t funniest had to be when the Luas stopped suddenly (for a change) cue lady to daughter:

'SHOIHE!...'

Then she thought about that and added:

'Oh jaysis chantalle, jus tink we nearly doye-id deer, n me last word ti u cudda bin shoihe!'

Needless to say myself and couple could barely contain ourselves.

An amusing retail anecdote

I was in the Frascati yesterday evening with my current girlfriend. Two ugly as sin girls approach us.

Girl #1: "Heore mister, do ya know where the tie shop is?"

I thought about it and said I wasn't sure there was a specialist one in the Frascati but pointed her in the direction of a mens outfitters.

Girl#2: "No, ties for the kids."

I explained that I wasn't sure if they did children's clothing.

Getting agitated, Girl#1: "No,ties, ties!!"

Cue much confusion!

Suddenly the blonde I'm with clicks, "I think she means toys!"

Girl#2: (giving us the filthies) "Dat's wha she said!"

Anyway, I pointed her in the direction of the toy shop and we stolled off chuckling to ourselves, leaving two very put out scangers staring after us!

Dublin Skangers arrive in New York

No so much heard in Dublin but... I flew to NYC recently, invariably the plane was filled with skangers, and after the plane landed all the passengers had made their way to retrieve their luggage from the carousel. I took up a position and waited(rather impatiently). I overheard 3 female 30 odd year old Dublin skangers. Then I heard one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
Skanger Number 1: "Ah jaysus I bleedin forgot to bring teabags"
Skanger Number 2: "I didn't even think a that."
Skanger Number 3: "They've terrible tea over here."
Skanger Number 2: "I don't even drink tea but I'll probably want a cup."
(I have to mention that they had previously mentioned they had never been to America, how they knew for sure the tea is supposedly bad is beyond me)

A slippery story on the 13A

Got the 13A bus from town to DCU with a friend a few weeks ago. The bus was packed so we ended up sitting upstairs behind two very drunk skangers! About half way to DCU one stands up and starts puking all over the place including down the stairs spraying people with bits of rice and dutch gold. By the time we got to our stop everyone was slipping all over the place on the vomit and I had vowed never to get the 13A again. EVER.
2 weeks later after waiting over 45 minutes for a bus,the 13A pulls up.Me and my friend decide to chance it. Upstairs we go and sit down. A few minutes later one of the lads a few seats up turns to his friend and says "Your stomach feelin' alrite this time?" and starts pissing himself laughing.

What are the chances!
