I am creating a "Dublin Bingo" card for my friends coming to visit! Need more ideas!

PaurGasm

So basically I got the idea from this:

http://media.dcentertainment.com/sites/default/files/files/2011/10/MAD-Comic-Con-Bingo-1.jpg

I will be making a approx 5x5 grid with the Good, Bad and the Ugly side of Dublin!

As I am only living in Dublin as a student I feel as though I may be missing stuff out.

Here is some of the examples I have on the bingo card!
-4 or 5 General sightseeing views i.e. Spire, Phoenix Park, TCD etc...
-Cavalcade of noisy spanish students
-Public transport conversation starter, Usually lovely old man
-"OMG Totes Awks"
-Empty can of Dutch Gold
-"Hee-or Mate, D'ya have a fag?"
-Homeless person with more expensive shoes than you
-Public Pyjama wearing
-Eastern European Guy playing according rocking back and forth
-Guy playing Mario songs on Keyboard
-Knacker couple having an argument on O'Connell St.
-Photographer taking a pic of Spire by placing camera on Spire and pointing up(Oh so original)


Just silly things like this that sarcastically list the Good, Bad and Ugly things about Dublin!

Feel free to contribute and in a week or 2 when I finish it, I will post it on here publicly!

Good idea! Here's my contribution:


5 cyclists at a traffic lights (or more, if they're out at rush hour)
On Luas when an inspector gets on (for extra score: 3 people get off, obviously without tickets)
Seeing rowers on the Liffey
Spot the Tai Chi in Merrion Square

cheers man... I laughed at the Luas one haha

Piriz

great idea... i look forward to seeing it!

I love the homeless person with more expensive runners...i always notice this....brilliant!

you could do something on our small president Michael D
the level of J walking in the city...nobody from Dublin waits for traffic lights..
the adidas tracksuit and runner clad teens
the double decker Dublin busses
the teens jumping into Grand Canal Dock in the summer
the amount of hipsters with beards and glasses
the graffiti/street art
the street traders, apples 5 for 50
molly malones cleavage
dublin bikes
the luas lines not connecting (yet)
the amount of pubs
the hipsters drinking coffee at a table outside a café in the winter
buskers on Grafton Street, or the Junkie Rapper on Henry Street..
the Dublin taxi driver
shopping trolley in the River
social welfare office
the Forty Foot on Christmas day

Just to add another sense to the mix: the smell of the Guinness Brewery coming down the Liffey. Distinctly Dublin!

A scratch'n'sniff square. Great idea

Also, crowds of 'youths' outside the Central Bank.
The sea of yellow taxi roof-signs on Dame St on a weekend night
O'Connell Bridge attempting to accommodate half the Dublin Bus fleet (in each direction)

In what way would double decker buses be a sight emblematic of Dublin?

How could you tick off the amount of pubs on a bingo card?

Or bearded, glasses wearing hipsters for that matter?

I am definitely going to use:
-Molly Malones cleavage
-the street traders, apples 5 for 50
-shopping trolley in the River
-buskers on Grafton Street, or the Junkie Rapper on Henry Street
