Overheard: Schiphol airport, Irish flights

Friday, December 20, 2024


I left Schiphol Airport this week, flying to Cork. There were long queues for each part of the journey, where I over-heard Irish voices saying:


- This Guinness shortage is just marketing. Or PR cos they're not paying for it. Guinness and Ryanair - there are some marketing geniuses in Dublin!

- Get ready to whip out that OV Chip Card!

- Did your brother marry somewhere fancy?

- They're just ugly and weird like, the bullies

- She's from Spain, she's fierce nocturnal. We'd be getting up for the airport at 3am and she'd be making her dinner.

- Did you see on his Instagram, the alpaca? Why didn't we do that?
