I’ve been living in Dublin for 35 years, and whenever I hear the bus go past, with people on it screaming out, it honestly still puts a little smile on my face
Now, try living next to their route for 20 years.
Nah it depends, if there are kids on the bus giving it full lungs I feel like its my job as a beardy long haired fella to make them feel six feet tall…
I work in an office on the route of it. Every 20 minutes I hear the exact same line about Georgian Dublin
They screamed at me the other week so I smiled and waved and then the driver said “sorry”, felt a bit weird about that tbh
Once, a week after starting a new job in Dublin, was walking from the office to my first after work drinks with my new boss.
Viking Splash tour rounds the corner and immediately starts chanting ‘KISS HER! KISS HER!’. Needless to say I did not, which was met with a loud ‘AWWWwwww…’ as they drove away. Awks.
Always gets a smile out of me, always look to be having a great day out.
Just pull out your sword , board the bus and start slashing and pillaging , shuts them right up .
Disclaimer- the wanton murdering of annoying tourists (particularly fat yanks) is not advised as it can be traumatising for you and quite tiring to slash through all that chonk. /s
I got caught by the same roar tour twice in an hour when I was 18 and hungover t’fuck. Hated the shagging thing ever since.
Ah its grand. Great fun going on it and scaring miserable dubliners
You should do a reverse Viking Splash and yell at them
Because of the implication.
Beggar’s Bush is a great place to drink and ignore these folks.
I feel like I am in a zoo when they come around lol
I like to roar back at them. It’s childish fun and quite unsophisticated. Suits me fine, though.
Next time Viking Splash does that just go Brian Boru 1014 on their asses.
I use to work in an office just off Grafton street in 2010 and every day I would hear the same joke every hour on loudspeaker about how shiny Molly Malones chest I swear I was about to fuck something out the window at them.
Like no joke the exact same joke like scripted almost….
I used to live in the Docklands and on a Saturday morning, when I was hungover to shit, that tour would go past every half hour and cheer, and I have never come closer to mass murder than I did on those mornings.
I have heard that they cheer at gingers??
Happened to me… any other gingers have had same?? Or why do they do it?? 👨🦰👩🦰🧑🦰
Fun fact: the Viking Splash vehicles are converted landers from Allies invasion of Normandy. Whenever I see them I think about how they were designed for a single moment in history, but now get to shuttle tourists and school children around decades later.
A tool of war used for joy, I can’t help but smile a little myself.
