Thats making me angry ..... I couldn't have stayed quiet ...


About 10 years ago when the 2nd Micheal Jackson trial was on , I was on the DART sitting across this genius and she had a great theory -

"Sure MJ must be innocent , cos if he's inti blokes with all the money he has he wouldn't need to go near kids, lots of other gay men would be into him"


Brilliant, I as a hetrosexual male of average income and social stature must be a danger to 10 year old girls so .... :rolleyes:

Overheard in Dublin... Beaumont House to be exact, about 14 months ago

A former Taoiseach, let's call him Bartie to protect his identity - out having a few pints with his friends on a Saturday night. The big premiership match on TV that day was Arsenal V Liverpool. Liverpool won 2-0 and Frimpong got sent off for Arsenal.

So anyway, Bartie and his mates were discussing the match, when one of Bartie's mates describes Frimpong as "not long out of the trees" - no response from Bartie himself, but was a little shocked myself to hear something like that being said in that company!

Duckjob

Friend of Mrs Duckjob, who can be a snobby cow started boasting one day about the fancy private school they sent their daughter to:

"You can see the parents are really high quality - they all drive BMW X5s and Range Rovers"

What made it funny was that later, her husband inadvertently let it slip that they had tried to enrol her in the public school but couldn't because they had left it too late, so were forced to go the private route. Of course, she didn't volunteer this information

I had dealings long ago with one of the Fag ends gang.. sounds entirely plausible.

Anyway, some time in the early 1990s I was on the 19A crawling down Camden Street on the way home.

"Here Natlee, what happened to that solizitor fella ye were riding?"

"Ah jazus Jacintah, that's history"

"Janey, if that was me I would have got me claaaawwws inta him!"

And a small cloud passed over the sun, cooling the temperature in the bus rapidly.

My mate was living in Cologne where there is a large population of Turkish immigrants.

Alot of the younger lads, how do I put it, would be of similar ilk to C.Ronaldo with how they would dress and carry themselves.

So my mate is on the subway and two Turkish young fellas get on and hear my mate on the phone talking in English and assume he can't understand German but he can hear them talking and understands fine..

"Hey, should we jump on that guy there and rob him"
"I don't know, I think he's English."
"You're right, the English can fight, better not."
"They've got no style though."

And with that they got off, my mate chuckling to himself.

They were only going to jump him because he had no style. Cologne is the gay capital of Deutschland after all.

Worst I ever had was talking to a guy in a pub. The "blacks coming over here taking our jobs" ****e came up. I mentioned Hitler having similar ideas (the randomer's proposed solution to the immigration issue was radical). The guy says in all seriousness that Hitler wasn't allowed to go far enough.
What spooked me was the clown knew about the Holocaust. I drank up and left - getting barred for nutting the git didn't seem worth it.

The metro in Cologne runs above ground in a lot of places.

The U-Bahn in Dusseldorf also goes overground in places but you can still get reception 2 levels down. Many a time I had a phone conversation from HBf to Alstadt (all underground, with the mate I was going to meet)

Sitting on a bus heading from UCD into town one day. Had just been in for a breakfast roll in Spar & as I sat in on the bus the only seat left was in front of four utter cnuts. I began listening to their rubbish stories as I tucked in to my roll.

I think bringing smelly food like that onto a public bus is fairly obnoxious behaviour.
I wouldn't like it, and those girls were more than likely dropping you hints!
What about the poor person how has to sit on your crumbs when you leave? And the staff who have to clean up after?



I over heard an Australia couple in on the bus in Barcelona being pure nasty as we drove past a guy on the street wearing an Irish jersey. Their whole conversation was about how thick we are, how the Irish are a nation of drunks and how we have Australia ruined, i.e jobs taken from Aussie people & using resources etc. When we got near La Rambla, as I walked passed them, I gave them my best, over exaggerated, "Top of the Morning lads...., we're not that bad". The girl just looked mortified, and her boyfriend just curled up and went pure white!

It's funny, not so long ago, we(Some of us anyway) were having the same conversation about the Polish and neighbouring countries in Ireland

I would forgive them for thinking this.
All of the Irish people I met in Australia were on a serious session, myself included.
We really are a disgrace.

Adolescent girls win the award for me. I can't remember the specifics but as a supposed grown up, I thought a number of their so called grown up conversations I listened in to to be particularly obnoxious. Sorry.

The bus driver or any of the other passengers had no problem with it, its quite common for people to eat bananas, yoghurts, crisps, chips etc. on buses so what was wrong with a breakfast roll? With regard to the crumbs you speak of, there was nothing left on the bus when I got off. And no, they weren't dropping hints because if any of them had a problem believe me they were the type who would make an issue of something if there was an issue to be made. They were just ***** with their heads up their arses referring to food as "poor peoples" food.

More funny than obnoxious.

Two teenage girls in the bus station about three weeks ago.
The first one says I think your boots are lovely".
The other one replies " I tried 6 shops looking for them and you wouldn't believe where I got them. In the last one".

I had to go outside in the rain.

areyawell

Too many too mention but one that always stuck with me was a couple of dickheads on a bus all wearing suits around 30 to 40.

I was two seats in front of them. Conversation went like this.

Guy 1: Jesus we're like poor people now using a bus service. Better disinfect or burn these suits when we get off. Don't know what you could pick up. (All laughing).

Guy 2: What kind of a hotel has no parking facilities. I'm not leaving my Beamer in a dodgy car park. Hope no one sees us getting off.

Guy 1: Yea we shuda hiring a limo or private car and someone to drive us up.

Guy 3: Yere sitting beside each other. I have a free seat. What happens if someone wants to sit beside me. Don't want to sit beside an oul one or some little knacker.

Guy 1: Feck it, I'll ring my brother and he'll drive us up, give him 200 quid or sumtin. He has a crappy car. I'll let him drive my beamer.

Then they get off the bus and on there way. Was quite shocked that people can have this attitude. Big snoppy rich f**ks!

The smell.

Fair enough their comments were very obnoxious, "poor people's food" is a disgusting attitude to have.

I didn't mean single you out, but bringing smelly food on a bus is a personal pet peeve of mine, I'm sure loads of other people couldn't care less. I'm a bit OCD like that!

Most obnoxious - in a pub in Rhyl just after the Tsunami listening to one of Rhyl's finest talking about his sex tourism holiday in Thailand not long after.

Funniest - 2 eejits in the pub beside Donnybrook Fair discussing the German involvement in Pearl Harbor, there were Stukas and U-Boats all over the show apparently

The most obnoxious conversation you've overheard?


Former FF TD for Mayo, Pee Flynn talking to Gay Byrne on the Late Late Show back in 1999.


"I want to tell you about it, I earn approximately €140,000 a year with expenses, I pay 30.3% tax on that so
I want to tell you something, try it sometime, when you have a couple of cars and three houses and a few housekeepers and I want to tell you ..... it aint easy, you should try it sometime".

Close friend of mine recently went into our local doctor.
