Overheard on the Luas today.
Two students with 'mid-Atlantic' accents talking about the experience of studying in Dublin, the advantages of having coffee bars nearby and the general good value of food and beer available to students.
The conversation changed to the Air Corps accident on the Galway Mayo border on Monday evening. One of the two students began to chuckle and laugh at the event. Someone on the Luas reminded them that two men had been killed in the accident. One of the students replied, "I was not talking to you."
The Green Line Luas was crowded. Not a word from anyone except from the man who challenged the comment.
The student did reply that he was not talking to the man. Can you have a private, out loud conversation on a packed Luas?
