You wait around for ages…

The first cross city Luas.

Big day out.

Please only make posts that are of interest to me. I don’t use the Luas. You don’t have to delete it: just be a bit more thoughtful next time.
Many thanks in advance.
Luas clips irks snits.
For the purposes of this one you’re in a bit of a snit, see? Hence… look it’s Saturday, gimme this one.
Totally fair enoughski
‘preciate it.
haha
True story: a Ranelonian (word used in the Irish times recently) told a friend of mine that she was worried about the green line being connected to cabra, broombridge etc. Could bring crime to the area
Broom Bridge?
I had to look it up. Never heard of it til right now.
To be honest, I don’t know where Cabra is either. I’m going to say it’s near Lucan.
Ok. I’ve looked it up. I’m quite the ignoramus, considering I’ve lived in Dublin for 20 years.
One as delicate and refined as you has no need to know of such places
I’m weighed down with my notions.
If you’re standing on Broombridge you can see my Ma’s house in the near distance.
So now :)
isn’t that where eleanor mcevoy is from? the woman’s heart one
Not sure, Jayo used to live around the corner though….
You couldn’t even get close enough to kick him if he played football.
*cheery wave*
*suggestive wink*
*looks askance*
*lascivious grin*
Yeah, ‘cos southsiders have never committed a crime in their lives!
a better class of crime
But they’ve dry cleaners for all of those white collars.
She’s bloody right to be worried.
“I wasn’t going to commit a crime but sure it’s nearly from my front door to their back garden…How could I say no to that!”
Yeah, makes total sense.
The reverse situation is far more worrying. Jay Bourke easily commuting to Cabra to setup another “business venture” (sound of balloon popping in background).
That’s the first and last time you’ll see that SOC on public transportation….unless there’s some publicity to be had.
You’ll have to be more specific.
The first and last time we will ever see a politician on the Luas
I realise this has sfa to do with the Luas but can I just say fair fupp to David Moyes today…a good man who didn’t deserve what happened at ManU…hope it works out @ Hammers for him
Was too much of a jump that move. Everyone seemed to think so except himself. Always thought highly of him and after a few nightmares might have found the right club.
will never understand it myself…. why he took the job tho I remember Ferguson almost forced him to with the tot lauding of him at the time (wonder what HE was playing at there) but from Moyes pov what to do….you’re offered one of the best jobs on the planet…he had to take the chance I suppose….that scenario was nearly history repeating itself with our very own Frank O’Farrell having to follow up Busby. Impossible.
I’d have him in the same category as Mick McCarthy – decent, salt of the earth sort of fellow, but you’d prefer he wasn’t managing your team.
I take it he didn’t feck up YOUR accumulator so :)
would NEVER put myself in a position where I wanted Chelsea to win anything
A heart over head gambler?
Wanna buy some magic beans?
I actually don’t mind Chelsea under Conte, particularly now that Costa and Terry have gone
Was €60 on Arsenal to win the league at 11-1 in August heart over head? Or just imbecilic?
it’ll take me another few years to get over the distaste of watching that Terry/Cole/Mourinho Chelsea team… all the ugliness, none of the beauty of football.
ouch! I’d have taken it off you instead :)
suppose there’s always a chance tho…look @ Leicester after all…actually…there’s another daecent man shafted
Please tell your friends instead.
…to think you were the chorus that forced out memes…puke
Who’s that aimed at?
…soccer boys…i dtus
Leeds fan eh….
thought you’d be looking at the Brown all weekend Bert?
Do you mean The Crown, Dr Freud?
oh wow, Freud is strong in this one! But you’re right, I know you’re a fan of Claire
I’ve clearly said too much already :)
It’s a Volvo of some description I think…
It’s not often I get the opportunity to have a play on words, as gailge, but I’m going to go ahead and quote the idiom, and introduce the interchange of “Tús” to “Luas”. “Tá Luas mhaith, leath an toibre”. Na Gailgeoirí will have a bit of a giggle. (Or not?). Sometimes, it kinda works better in my head.
Bit disappointed, expected Shane Ross to be driving the Luas
yaaaaaaay lets cram even more vehicles onto our tiny choked up streets, god forbid we think long term and build an actual underground, it’s not like every single european capital besides ours has one
Clearly those are the “Men Only” carriages.
Did the Gardaí have to clear the homeless off O’Connell St, in case the sight of them might upset our glorious leader’s eyes…?
