I was waiting for the luas and a skanger asked me for a cigarette. I was getting a ticket and said “yeah, wait a minute”. He spend the time between asking and receiving thanking me in advance. He was looking for his lighter from his mate but I let him use mine too. They were joined by two girls and a pram. It appears they wanted the cigarette to roll a joint in the 5 minutes before the train came. One of the girls was on the phone and had the speaker activated. The taller of the two dudes was shouting about “yer man on the phone” and his ethnic origin was described as something to do with smelling of curry. I walked a bit away but could still hear her on the phone and it occured to me that she was the perfect cross between a d4 and a skanger.

The stuff she was saying was purely functional unlike the crap I heard while getting my hair cut somewhere in dublin 4 yesterday. One girl there was telling the down to earth hairdresser all about what she had planned for the rest of the day and the rest of the year. She had gotten tickets for the rugby from a goy she knows who is a barrister. That was all that was said and you could tell she was a bit taken aback that nobody there was impressed enough to tell her what a great human she was. The time was nearly 2pm and with kickoff in thirty minutes and five miles away she would be asking people to move aside by the time she got there.

She left shortly after we heard about her wedding in November and what date she will be getting her hair done. I made sure not to look at her when she was leaving in case it confirmed to her that everyone or anyone thought she was it.

After she left someone who had been at the gym came in for a blow dry. She was asked if she was watching the game and she said no but her husband was just back that morning from LA and San Francisco and he would surely be watching it.
