Warbonnet Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I'm sorry, but I bet I'd have come up with something a lot better than this for a lot less money! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LC8dIM6wiQ#t=56 I actually thought it was a piss take!
Glenderg Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Is there supposed to be an image or summit here, rev? Edit no need just googled it. Jesus ****ing christ on a ****ing bike, what the **** are those morons in CIE spending OUR money on. Nob-end Noel more like. Edited February 5, 2014 by Glenderg
minister_for_hardship Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) They should have got your man from the Commitments, didn't he play a DB driver in the film? I'd say there was very little money spent on this promo, judging by the production value. Edited February 5, 2014 by minister_for_hardship
Horsetan Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 ....I actually thought it was a piss take! In a sense, it is. Those eejits probably spent a few grand on a consultant to come with this pile o' shi*e. I think Andrew Strong, who played Deco in The Commitments, tends to live and work elsewhere these days. He's not had what ye'd call a stratospheric career. Everyone knows what happened to Andrea Corr (who was pretty much an extra rather than a prominent character in the film), but by far the most interesting cast member from the film is Michael Aherne, a civil engineer who gave up acting and ended up as head of transport development at the National Transport Authority! He seems to be the go-to man in Dublin for bicycle networks
heirflick Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 is that seriousely going out on the telly? i hope to the Almighty that its not geared towards the elderly trying to understand it! the Mother-in-law could do better!
jhb171achill Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 That is surely not real. I checked to see if it was 1st April. If taxpayer's money was spent on that rubbish, I want a tax rebate.

jhb171achill Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Maybe Dustin could go to the Eurovision in a Dublin bus with a mascot - single journey.
Horsetan Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Maybe Dustin could go to the Eurovision in a Dublin bus with a mascot - single journey. That would ensure RTE wouldn't have to fork out for the EuroSong the year after.
jhb171achill Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Excellent, Horsetan.... Let's start a campaign!
Georgeconna Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Class effort alright....We call the lads who did that langars...for sure... Edited February 6, 2014 by Georgeconna
dave182 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Jesus H Christ! My jaw is on the floor... I just youtubed this in the hope that it's a prank... And it's not. I dread to think how much money has been spent.
jhb171achill Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Ghastly, utterly ghastly. A boycott of Dublin buses is on the cards....
Warbonnet Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 Ghastly, utterly ghastly. A boycott of Dublin buses is on the cards.... They boycotted me as I stood at a stop for 30 minutes this evening... yip yip yip yip
jhb171achill Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 You wouldn't be the first, Warbonnet! Thankfully where I'm moving to will be within walking distance of the Luas.....
Horsetan Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 They boycotted me as I stood at a stop for 30 minutes this evening... yip yip yip yip In the days when I was in Dublin, many of the buses carried the destination "As Serbhis". I often wondered where it was....
Glenderg Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Ha ha horse, now they say everything bar "terms and conditions apply" as gaelige. Some day i'm expecting to see a bus that says "An bhfuil cead agam dul go dti an leithreas". Que the junkie trying to figure out where that bus is going to...

Some day i'm expecting to see a bus that says "An bhfuil cead agam dul go dti an leithreas". Que the junkie trying to figure out where that bus is going to... Just once he gets away with paying minimum fare that's all he cares about.
