Is this a tragedy for history education or just common sense?
Waiting for a friend in front of the statue of the Danny the Liberator, there are a couple of D4 teen girls behind me, about 16, on the phone to their friend. They're obviously trying to get another another friend to find them and so they tell the one they're on the phone to to come to "the statue with all the angeeels. You know? The one with all the angeeels."

On a Tuesday...
In town the other day, walking around, when a woman who seemed a bit locked tripped and fell down quite hard on the street.
Everyone rushed over to help, and some fella took charge tellin her not to move etc, while someone else called an ambulance.
Noticing she was pretty big and em.. rounded, two women asked her a few times was she pregnant, to which the fella helping her piped up 'well, if she is, it aint mine!' to the shock of us all there!
Then someone said 'ah Here's the fire brigade now' very matter of factly, to which a yungwan in the crowd that had gathered said ' ah jaysus she isnt dat' bleeding big!!'
And they say there's a recession on everythin in Ireland!

Role reversal
An Indian man was powering up Dame Street and passed an older Dublin man (flat cap and all) who was walking in the same direction. The Dublin man, who clearly knew the Indian man, hit him on the back of the head with his morning Metro, shocking the young Indian man, and said, "we must all look the same to you, do we!?" Shock, recognition, and finally jovial chat ensued as they walked on together.

Seen rather than heard! At the recent student fees protest, one fellow had a sign saying "AC/DC for Slane". Another one had a sign saying " fees are bollix".

Hobos
wanting to spend a bit of quality time with my eight year old niece, i brought her into town for our girlie day. On our way to Eddie Rockets, we were walking past a block of flats. There were about 3 or 4 fairly rough looking and dirty men drinking cans on a small wall. my niece looking absolutely disgusted said (so loudly) 'OH..MY...GOD.... are they hobo's?' I swear I nearly died. The 'hobo's' laughed in fairness to them!
