I've recovered enough from the 78th minute to be able talk about this. Originally I was quite offended when reading your post Derek, but it was funny how accurate it actually was. One of my mates had to give his parents directions! I mean COME ON, I may never have been to Croker before yesterday, but how can you live in this country and not know where it is? You ask an immigrant just off the plane, and they will already be able tell you where it is, and what pub to drink in depending on whether or not the Dubs are playing.

Im not rich but 7 grand plus to go to school, more than the govt are paying for my college education, means i will call it the spire, when else could some one use such a word, theres spikes everywhere, its unique.
Truth be told i got lost using the 16a once, because ever since the 16 route was made while i live in ballinteer i though both busses came down the road behind my estate. unfortunate for me i didnt know it ended at nutgrove, but i walked up to the 14/48a/116 terminus anyway, lazily though i think i txted for a lift even though it was half the journey i had just walked to get home I admit, i only know 4 through city routes that are relitivly free flowing to get to the southside, this doesnt include the m50 or n11, which are just fools work, ones a c ones a straight enough line But also, i only know about 2 or 3 routes on the northside. Drumcondra road, glasnevin avenue to finglas/airport and to some extent that going far enough on the malahide road can get you to a road that meets the end of the m50, i think

Well considering most churches have a 'spire' so it's not really that unique a word if you really feel like using it. What Dublin monument has escaped an affectionate nickname anyway? Consider Spike a term of (ahem) endearment, not a lack of education.

This same sister is a credit to private education when it comes to public transport as well. She knew that any 15 15A 15B 15D 15E or 15F would get her home, so she thought maybe the 15O would as well (O as in "O" not as in zero) Last edited by Oisin88 : 15-02-2007 at 18:05. |

Judging from her apparent lack of knoledge of public transport, is a forum on its flaws and short commings really going to be on her reading list?
