Any of you hate dublin

I'm just sick of it to be honest. There is no more atmosphere. I hate the expense of overpriced rent for just living close to work. As soon as i have my full license, i am out of here and moving to the country. I'd rather avoid overcrowded, overpriced, over knackery dublin life. It just has become so depressing in recent years. Sorry for generalising but this is really for those who just live in dublin because they work here. If i was offered the same job in the country,i would take it like that to avoid all the hustle and bussle of the mundane and repetition of living in a never ending cycle.

Mate Dublin has changed over the years for sure, but it is still a pretty quiet and a pretty balanced city I am telling you. Try to work in London, Paris, New York etc., that's another story.

Welcome to the working class life

Went to work in Dublin for a while... horrible. People okay, but some arrogance when they see a Clare plate on the car. Come to Co. Clare, ftw!

Dublin is an alright place to visit, but i wouldn't want to live there.

So, i did. twice.

Honestly, i have no idea how people living there stand how horrifically crowded it gets in the mornings. I'm fully convinced the average person working in dublin would skullfuck their own mother to death if they thought it'd get them to where they are going five seconds quicker.

I cant stand the place. I knwo I have 2 brothers and a sister that where born and lived in dublin for a few years before moving down to waterford. I Like the dublin people, apart from the "sure if your not from dublin your a culchie" bullshít. I just dont like the place itself.
Before all the "howya's" come on and say "sure Waterfords a kip" I couldnt give a fiddlers, Im born and raised in Waterford and I dont like the place either, would much rather it though than dublin. Majority of me family and great mates are from the big smoke. Would never live there mself though.

Brothers and sister from Springfield in tallaght, looked like a nice spot last time I popped up

I did, but didn't the bastards torture me for it? In the end, the boss said it wasn't really worth worrying about.... I mean to say, isn't espionage about fast cars and hot chicks? FFS.

I suppose it is.. Bond was on earlier and he certainly spent a lot of time with cars and women. Seems like a nice life.
