Stupid buses

68 Upvotes

Decided to get the bus to an appointment instead of using the car.

Planned it all out. Was at the stop 10 minutes before hand…

Fucking bus never showed up.

“Use public transport”…yeah lads, but it doesn’t work.

Now traffic is shit.

Swan & Cygnet gone missing.

32 Upvotes

There was a pair of swans nesting just by Griffith Bridge near Rialto Village (just up from the Suir Road Luas stop). They had one Cygnet hatch a few weeks ago now and all three of them largely stayed in that part of the canal. A few days ago one of the parents and the Cygnet have gone, and the one remaining Swan seems quite distressed (swims up and down the canal calling out). I could understand if the Cygnet got lost (to, say, a fox or something) but it seems odd one of the parents has also disappeared. I also walked up and down the canal a fair bit but no sign of them.

I wondering if this is something worth reporting to the SPCA or some wild life rescue organization?

Safety in dublin??

14 Upvotes

My gf and I were walking up from busaras to connonly station and had a dude with a massive black bag walk behind us for ages. For some context we’re both together (lesbians). We both noticed after he followed us onto our platform so we left and made a circle around that area of dublin, to which he kept following. At one point we slowed down and he walked ahead but kept stopping, clenched his fists and then placed his hands in his pockets a couple meters ahead of us. We made a u turn and went the opposite way to find him still doll us. It wasn’t until we were able to get lost in a crowd we lost him too. Very scary, would warn others too.

Edit: idk why so many people are calling this fake so i’ll break it down even more ig???
My gf and I got off our bus, walked from the other side of the bus station to the main entrance, then walked back outside again (not walking up beside the luas). We then sat outside the train station for a minute thinking he was gone. We did laps around the area, inside the train station and outside.

Deer skull

Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a fallow deer skull to borrow or rent for a photoshoot in Dublin. It would only be needed for a short session, and I’d take great care of it.
If you have one (or know someone who does), please tell me. I’m happy to offer a reasonable rental fee or leave a deposit if needed. Thanks so much!

Driving teacher for refresher lessons

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a driving teacher who would do a couple of refresher lessons?

I’m looking to get back into driving. I moved here 11 years ago but haven’t really needed a car since, so haven’t driven in that time. But for various personal reasons I’d like to start again. I’m in possession of a full valid UK driving licence.

Cheers in advance!

Lost Visitor Leap Card

I don’t assume this post is going to be much of help, but I’ve come to visit Dublin for five days and I lost my visitor leap card around the Book Upstairs Shop. I’m broke af so I decided to give this Reddit a chance and maybe there’s a 0.001% chance of someone retrieving it. Thanks in advance xx.🔥🔥

Leap card fine

1 Upvotes

Hii y'all. So I was fined 100€ for not tapping on the commuter train. But I know I tapped it and the machine showed an "unknown error". The Ticketmaster asked me to mail an appeal to the Irish rail. I am a student and I use this route almost daily for 7 months. Can someone pls guide me on what I can do and what will be my consequences if I don't plan to pay it? Because there's no way I can afford a 100€ fine, it'll cause a huge dent in my finances.

I boarded the train at ashtown and left at castleknock. And I recharge every other day. Thanks for helping

Grapetizer Drink?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I was wondering if anybody knew whereabouts in Dublin I could come across some Grapetizer. I know they have the Appletizer in most shops, but I very rarely see the grape version and I got addicted to it when I was abroad.

I think the origin is South African, but I have no idea where to look. I’ve looked online and the nearest SA shop is in Athlone, and that’s too far for my desires!

Has anyone had this done in the last year and how much did it cost? I'm seeing prices for 350-400 without even the initial consultation but a few threads in the past mention costs from 200-250. Cheers!
