The Irishman’s father, Tony McGregor, recently posted a rant of his own on the internet. He stated, “I was none too plussed with my experience on the D.A.R.T.”
Tony McGregor complained about his experience on the DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) as he said, “When I got to Lansdowne Road Station, I tendered a brand-new crisp 20 Euro note into the automatic machine looking for a single ticket for Dun Laoghaire… They had the b**ldy cheek to give me back and I’m going to show you this coinage.”
The Irishman’s father complained about receiving coins from the machine as his change, and stated, “They gave me all that coinage. I have no room to put those coins anywhere.”
McGregor’s father concluded his rant by boasting about his rich lifestyle, as he said, “I wear a slim fit, hand-fitted Hugo Boss suit.”
