10 things that have happened to me on the 15B

Posted in Old blogger by Twenty Major on September 30th, 2004

Despite Bagatelle’s lauding of the 46A everyone knows the best bus route in Dublin is the 15B. College Street to Rathfarnham via Rathmines, Terenure and Templeogue. I can’t count how many times I’ve taken this bus, but here’s a few of things that have happened to me:

  • I’ve run my arse off to get the last bus only to have to get off around Bushy Park because I’ve drunk too much beer and needed to piss.
  • I once farted and followed through. Luckily I was wearing dark trousers and there was a baby near me so everyone thought the terrible stink came from him.
  • During the first Gulf War my friend got up and gave a live address as if he was a CNN reporter to the whole bus. People clapped when he finished.
  • I saw one of my neighbours getting off with her brother. For non-Irish, getting off means kissing. With tongues.
  • I invented the world’s greatest invention. It came to me in a flash but by the time I’d arrived at my stop I’d completely forgotten it.
  • Going up Rathgar Road towards Terenure we were stuck in traffic. A 15B going into town was also stuck in traffic directly opposite our bus. I saw a girl looking at me and motioned to her that I wanted her to tap the bloke in front of her on the shoulder as he was a friend of mine. When she tapped him on the shoulder I looked away and she looked like an eejit.
  • I heard about Kurt Cobain’s suicide.
  • I heard a woman on a mobile phone tell her husband, ‘You better get your arse ready. I’ll be home in 10 minutes.’
  • I have fallen asleep on Christmas Eve having been out drinking the whole night previously and travelled to Rathfarnham and all the way back into town. I feel asleep on the way back to Rathfarnham again but luckily I woke up in time to get off.
  • I found a money clip containing £195. I spent that money on a crackingly good night out drinking vodka and cokes in Club Sarah.

    • The 15B. The best bus route of all time. Ever.
