Forever more I’m going to chance this in the hope I get a free fair from a Taxi driver, thanks for the tip Rocko.

Dublin Buses have become filthy, the smell of piss was worse than a cattle mart

What I want to know is if the play was any good. I’m thinking of going to it.

A taxi isn’t really public transport but I had an embarrassing moment earlier.

I went to Death of a Salesman in the Gate* this evening. I purchased a sandwich from a shop near my work, then got in a taxi and asked the driver to bring me to the Gate Theatre. Conversation went as follows:

“Gate Theatre please.”
“Sure thing. O’Connell Street way ok?”
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
“What’s on?”
“Death of a Salesman”
“Ah that’s right. It’s a good one.”
“It is alright.”
“…” semi-incoherent mumble with inflected tone at the end “…?”
“Sorry?”
“Are you…” followed by semi-incoherent mumble with inflected tone at the end “…?”
“Eh… yeah” (guess at the answer to a question I didn’t hear)
“Really? What part?”
“Eh just a small one.”
“One of the sons?”
“No, the friend.”
“And do you wear that suit in it?”
“Eh, no.”
“So what’s the suit for?”
“Ah I needed it for something earlier.”
“I knew you were an actor when I saw the sandwich.”
“Ah yeah. Eh why?”
“Just thought you’d eat the sandwich before you went on stage. Fill you up like.”
“Yeah that’s it.”
“Will I bring you to the stage door?”
“Eh no thanks. Main entrance will do fine.”
“I’ve an umbrella in the boot if you want it. Don’t want you going on stage wet.”
“Ah I’ll be grand. We have towels in the dressing room.”
“Great.”

Wouldn’t take the full fare and promised he’d go to see the play this week.

Lesson is: don’t guess the answer to a question you haven’t heard properly. I was terribly embarrassed in the taxi, I felt like I’d deceived him.

*thinly veiled, I’m such a wank.

Ah thats a belter of a story.

Unlike your ridiculous minor/under 18 post yesterday, that is propah.

Laughed out loud at that.

It is indeed very funny, Farmer. But it’s yet more evidence of Rocko (and family) being ‘socially weak’.
