giant bags of pennies as fares are in order for dublin bus i think.
i wouldnt mind if they provided a decent service you know.
but i have waited for up to 40 mins some mornings for a bus and then when it does arrive its like something out of schindlers bleedin' list, poor fuckers nearly hanging out the windows cos theres no room.

why am i complaining about the bus service here?
jesus.
sorry.
once i get started on buses there is no stopping me.
grrrrrr.

If you think THAT pic looks like her you should check out the one of some brazen hussey in a nurses S&M costume in the society pages of this months WHO magazine.

The resemblance is, shall we say, uncredible & inbelieveable.

You're absolutley right Peepee. Killing's too goo for those non-arriving-on-time-bastards. Have you ever dared to ask a bus driver what number bus it is he's driving? He'll never answer you.
He'll just say,"What does it say on the front?"
You'll say, "It says nothing on the front".
Then he'll say "Well, what does it say on the side?"
And you'll say, " I don't know - why the hell am I asking you?"
And then he'll just scowl at you, like a fucking cab driver.

They should be stuffed up each others' arses.

peepee (04 Jan, 2002 02:32 p.m.):
they count on you not being arsed going in to change them into cash.
why dont they have a little box where you can put the change slips into on the buses and then they could be donated to charity or something?
oh, im so fluffy and nice today.

Funnily enough there is a charity somewhere that does collect them and cash them in.

What's a bigger wind up is I went into the local newsagent that cashes them and ended up arguing with the guy behind the counter about 5p.
God it just seemed so important at the time.

 

[george mcfly]

how about having a bus driver arguing that your seven day bus ticket is in fact only valid for six days. when the only reason the fucking thing wont work in their machines is its soaked, cause youve been standing in the rain for an hour!!!

ooooooooooooooo matron!!

yeah, but your average joe (i.e. me)
isnt going to bother finding out the whereabouts of this charity and instead will let all those 5p's rot away at the bottom of the handbag.
if the collection box was *on* the bus people would chuck them in as a matter of course.

still, it doesnt make any difference if the scabby bastards arent going to issue the change receipts any more buh', does it?

 

[Stuart Little]

It's a shame really. Before they installed those infernal plexiglass cabins there was something you could do about the situation.

Although an aerosol and a lighter adminsitered through the pay-hole could provide big laffs for all concerned.

YES!! YES! - i'm trying hard to visualise this - i fear i may piss myself....

 

[chriths]

just stick your fingers down hairy throat and vomit into the money slot thing next time you're peshed. i would if i wasn't a bus driver's son.

 

[Anne OMalley]

"Payhole", "money slot" - wow, this is giving me a great idea for a porno movie set in Donnybrook Garage.

But on a lighter note, what the fuckity fuck-fuck fuck is the story with those Euro coins? The way they've tried to cram as many symbols into them as they possibly can - it's absurd, the work of entire committees of mentalisers. You've a harp surrounded by stars on one side with a map of Europe on the other side, a few numbers, some Euro-babble, a giant tomato representing agriculture, a wooden leg representing industry and directions on how to get to the rave at Romano Prodi's gaff. It's all a bit bloody much. And I'm convinced these fuckers are heavier than the last lot simply by virtue of the amount of stuff depicted on them.

And what about the notes? Bridges and arches, eh? Nice idea, that. Very Kafka. I'm beginning to miss that grinning Jimmy Joyce picture already, and even the nun on the fiver. At least you could fold her face in two and cause her to look like a chimp.

Isn't it nice the way that the architectural style progresses through the ages as each note denomination increases?

yes, i thought so too.

Its Concern, just stick them in a envelope and send them to Concern, mark it bus tickets or something.... they'll know what to do

I love the idea of some do gooder charity type going in with wads of reciepts and really fucking off dublin bus

huzzah!!!

 

[Anne OMalley]

Hadn't noticed that. The implication, I suppose, is that more modern is more valuable.

Good news for Georgian Dublin...

[Pantone247]

the whole buzz with the architecture is

A. One side of the notes have a door or window to sybolise openess

B. The other side of every note has a bridge to show unity and strenght NOT JUST within Europe but with the whole wide world

Amen

so know you now

 

[Anne OMalley]

The openness of Europe and the unity of Europe, eh?

Somebody once said that propaganda is the use of symbols not to represent reality but to deny it...
