Kevin Myres (2 Viewers)

[egg_]

The standard Myers argument runs like this:
1. Ascribe some crazy belief to some group of people that you don't like
2. Point out the craziness of this belief using drawing-room farce language

e.g
'Leftists' think Stalin is a great fella. Stalin was personally responsible for the deaths of n million people. Therefore leftists are fools and general bad eggs.

or

'The PC brigade' thinks the word dogmatic is offensive to dogs and its use should be discontinued. This is obviously silly. Therefore members of the PC brigade are fools.

This sort of an argument is pretty easy to poke holes in. The setup I had envisioned was a fairly public gathering where myself and a few friends had done our homework on Myers's views on certain things, uncovered the flaws and got him to go off on one. One of us would be the anti-Myers, one of us would be the uncommited waverer that kept the whole thing going, then there'd be a few others to chime in with anti-Myers facts

Changed my plan now though. This would be MUCH funnier, and probably more embarassing for old Kev

That would be funny to see. Go on do it

 

[Pantone247]

when he did University Challange or Challangin Imtes or whatever he used to LICK THE HOLES of anyone from a college with University in the title and SNEER DOWN HIS NOSE at anyone from a DIT or RTC

It would all be "oh take your time Trinity UNIVERSITY, whenever you are ready with your answer" then "COME ON WATERFORD RTC I MUST HAVE AN ANSWER NOW... COME ON!!"

in fairness the RTC temas where ussually thick as shit monkey men with a crowd of supporters purely using the show as an excuse to get to the big smoke and run riot around copper face jacks after filiming... but it doesn't make what Kevin did right

And you were one of those monkey men..........?

I was once so annoyed about something he wrote I wrote back. (well, emailed)

He was going on about the class of people you get on Dublin Buses....hatefully vowing never take the bus again due to the kind of people he had to share it with.

Poor guy had to watch young a girl with tatoos be rude to another man.
I couln't believe the bitter classism I was reading.

 

[the snitch]

i bet myers didn't say 'thanks' to the driver either.
hate that

Amateur. Now the 77, 77a and 50 is where the real shit happens.. beautiful tallaght

 

[rumpus]

hey buddy

yer talking to a 17a / 42b veteran.....none of yer Southside wank.

these are buses where the top floor is NEVER not being used as a drug market and they make the nightstink seem positively cosy.

That's why I wont have some well fed, academic twat moaning and holding his nose when it comes to suffering the great unwashed on the 66 to maynooth!


still,

I get irked by saying thanks to the driver...I find it a silly ritual....I mean, we're only thanking him because we have to walk by him!

 

[redd]

i thank the driver cos he hasn't killed me.

 

[Dan]

Yeah thanking the driver??? I mean there generally not too grateful for your custom, so why should you be thankful? Its not like hes driving you around out of the good of his heart. And like some comedian once said "when you get off the train do you run up the platform and thank the train driver?"

 

[hop]

ah you have to say thanks, even if its only for that little extra ticket which entitles you to 15 cent. bless 'em

 

[the snitch]

only losers take the bus

have you ever been a public servant?
it may irk you, but i'm not messin' when i say 'thanks' goes a long way. you have the luck of being able to get off the bus but the driver deals with joe public every second of the day 5 days a week for disgraceful pay. alright some of them are ignorant sods and we all have our examples of when we were left standing in the rain, passed by, insulted or what have you. i'm not excusing that behaviour. but i am aware that they are getting shit on by some of the passengers and the company they work for. ehhhh so 'thanks' probably doesn't help put bread on the table, but a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.....ehhhhhhhh.
shite

hail to the bus driver man

Fair enough and at the end of the day I usually do say thanks, but these things work two ways. I mean you should be thanked when you hand over your money but a lot of the time, they don't even look in your direction..thats a pretty basic part of human interaction, to give some samll acknowledgement of the person you're dealing with. And I know they have to deal with loads of assholes every day, but we all deserve the benefit of the doubt. And I do realise how far "thanks" goes...

 

[the snitch]

sorry dan, me rant wasn't aimed squarely at you. i just have a thing about people being unecessarily RUDE and disrespectful. its not just an issue about how to treat bus drivers, or customer care. there are standards in life which make it a whole lot more bearable. courtesy and respect are two.

 

[Dan]

Totally, but sometimes when you're not given it you don't feel like giving it, though you should try and be above it

 

[Goodbye]

BOLLIX they get 35squids an hour on sundays, dunno what it is in euro's... disgraceful pay me lord o the rim!

and as for those tickety things they give for change... whats going on, are they still doing that or what, cos last time I was on a bus I got into an argument with the driver, I wanted my 25c ticket change thingy, and he was telling me they diddent do that anymore... show me a sign where it says that. it's under the stairs he says... on we drove, I looked at the sign that explained the difference in price between the euro and the pound, but no fuckin mention of the no issue of change tickets... he got a fuckin earful offa me... prick... at the end of his shift, all thise little 5 and 10 cences add up to a free evening down the pub. Anyone whose ever used a till will understand this logic. If no change is issued etc etc..


oh yeah, the 77 scary


and dont get me started on bus drivers who use mobile phones!


youll never catch me saying thank you to a bus driver

 

[rumpus]

fair nuff... fair nuff...and I do indeed say thanks... but I only mean it sometimes....they way these guys treat me.
Still I say it cause deep down I know yer point.
Just sometimes I feel off saying things I don't mean.

For a name like the snitch yer a real humanist.

The pay is far from disgraceful actually. Me uncle is a Bus Driver. And he lives in a nice neighbourhood, comfortably. But say says he won't socialise with the new croud of Drivers hired coz they're mostly aggressive gobshites. The oul lad ones a sound though.

 

[billygannon]

Yeah.... Bus Drivers have the life of Riley. Driving around in their big gold cars, eating cash sandwiches and drinking oil and laughing at the poor. They only drive buses for a laugh and they drive them really badly so as to piss loads of people off. If you ever go down to this place in Offaly, you see a whole load of young bus drivers out of their tits on E joyriding double-deckers and playing the mobile ring tones really loudly... and dancing to it. And as for all that extra cash! Well, they use that to fund their thriving heroin import business. When they're not crashing buses into the Liffey they're hanging around schools stabbing children with syringes filled with highly addictive heroin. And to think! Our tax pays their wages... which they blow on prostitutes and cocaine.
