    This is the kind of tale that makes my blood boil. What the hell happened to normal life in that city? Every day and every night I fight against the scum of the earth but with the ever growing army of scum this is going to be a tough war to win. I can only wish I was on that bus. I would have pre-meditated the scum's plan and let the fists fly before he had a chance to strike.

    :mad:

    What are you on about? You couldn't even stop a 6 year old scummer from taking his shoe off - you fled the bus in terror.

    They'd identify you pretty easily - they'd just have to look for excessive use of underlined words.

    Can someone kill ban the citizen please?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Can someone kill ban the citizen please?

    Genuine question. Why?
    We can understand his anger at these scuzzbuckets treating another person(s) badly while getting us home safely, or trying to.

    If its for the underlining - yea, thats annoying (but no banning).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    I'm not sure what the law in Ireland is about kidnap, but if this toe-rag drove the bus over a certain distance I think he can be done for it. 15 counts of kidnap=beaucoup time inside

    we can but hope :D

    What sort of fare cost is it to travel on that bus? Just wondering what it is in relation to taxi's (at night for example).


  • Registered Users Posts: 175 ✭✭thecheese


    Just to remind people Tallaght has a larger population than Limerick! Any thoughts of cutting off transport to more than 100,000 people would cause chaos and would not make financial sense on the part of Dublin bus!

    As I posted last night in the citizen's thread, it was an inbound 50 taken at Cork St. So the Tallaght nonsense is irrelevant except for being in AH obviously :)

    A friend of mine was getting the bus to heuston station and he says you can barely see the driver because hes cab is completly covered with protective glass.

    Glass is mostly see-through these days I think you'll find so the driver is fairly visible.

    ah yea.. reminds me of de time me and anto were ouwof our heads 1 night at 3 in de morning wih no bleedin way 2 geh home. so dere we were passin de bus garage and anto sez to me - "story wih de busses, we could score one and bomb home in ih"
    So in anyway, in I go and bust me way into the first one I find while anto was keepin sketch at de gate.. 2 shakes of a dead lambs tail later I drive up to him and tell 'im to get in..

    "Ya feckin eejih" he shouts..

    "Wah?" I reply.

    "Ya stole a bleedin 16, that doesn't go anywhere near my gaff!!"

    :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 618 ✭✭✭pipsqueak


    But Judge, the reason my client took control of this bus was that he has a drug addiction and did not know what he was doing at the time, The failure lies with society for not allowing him to become a bus driver. It is against his human rights not to be allowed drive a bus. I believe we owe my client an apology and a substantial compensation payout. And a new bus for him too the poor little rascal.:pac:

    "...but your honour, my client just wanted to get home to see a biased RTE discussion on the Lisbon Treaty. The government insists strongly you let him off!"

    Maybe they were filming a new Speed movie and the actor got on the wrong bus.

    I know thats a bit of a bold and sweeping statement and I don't think everybody should be punished, but if you remember back at school when the class d*ck did something and because he wouldn't own up, the whole class got punished, well the same should apply here and then the scum would be run out of the town (hopefully) by the good tax paying citizens who are sick of this s*it!

    i must rather they keep all the scum in one spot tbh.

    Why, are they using the likes of ''afaik'' and ''lol'' rather than ''real'' words?

    Dublin Bus have in the past cut off services to west tallaght. They stop the routes at the square, so anyone who lives beyond there has to walk. While this doesn't effect all 100,000 people, it still effects a lot of people.

    And you admit it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,001 ✭✭✭KilOit


    They told me that the porter in there hotel told them to get a great idea of what Dublin is like was to pick a bus a get on it to the last stop. These poor feckers got the 77 to Fettercairn (never made it to Jobstown)

    Haha brilliant,
    The Luas is a god sent here in Tallaght, havn't used a bus in years and never will either

    For Shame :) Ah I only ever listen to the first 15 minutes where he reviews the papers. He mentioned that they would have an eyewitness from the bus incident on so I stayed listening..... honest ..

    A 32-year-old man has appeared in court in connection with an assault on a Dublin bus driver at the weekend.
    Mark Dwyer of Dolphin House in Dublin city faces two charges, one of assault and another of the unauthorised taking of a vehicle.
    Garda Kevin Molyneux gave evidence of arrest, charge and caution at Dublin District Court this morning.
    Mark Dwyer will appear again before the court this afternoon for a bail hearing.

    There were about 15 passengers on board the 56A, which runs from Tallaght to Ringsend, when the bus was hijacked in the Liberties area between 9.30pm and 10pm on Saturday.

    I think he had broken bones because he was just punching the plexiglass from the inside of his cage :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,998 ✭✭✭✭Cuddlesworth


    Didn't they steal a bus in Loughlinstown a while back, since then all services to the area divert after a certain time to Cherrywood business park instead?

    Either way, the bloke who stole the bus should spend the next year strapped to the front of various commuter buses as punishment.

    Maybe they were filming a new Speed movie and the actor got on the wrong bus.

    I think the film's called ''The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down''.

    That's hardly fair. I'd be raging if they cut my bus route just because some yoke hijacked the bus.

    That's Dublin for ya. I never got pestered on a bus up there but then I'm a metaller - people tend to be wary of me hahaha. And I'm hardly small either.

    Once tackled a fella who'd broken into a jeep opposite the 4 Goldminesand not a single person on the street stopped to help me.

    Metaller's as you say are usually the ones on the end of a beating from the scummers on buses,from my experience anyway.
