Is tomorrow "culchies descend on dublin" day?

City envy?

Envy implies that we have a desire to be like Dublin, or Dubs, no?

You can talk about chips on shoulders all night, but who started the thread? I'd argue the chips are equally large.

Both the Dublin view of "muck savages" and country view of "jackeens" are forms of prejudice that are for some reason, socially acceptable.
In this instance, this thread just seemed to be a rather sad, smug attempt to bait people or invite some back-slapping from fellow Dubs, secure in their "hilarious" responses.

Mr.Micro

Make sure all you Dubs put the Culchie money to good use as thats all your getting until next year .Might consider building a by pass so the Culchies can go somewhere a bit classier as Dub land is so last year .Need to smarten your act up there are better centres all over Ireland now giving better value .

I'm not sure if you have been told this before, but the full stop goes at the end of a sentence, not the start of a new one.

Its a deep seated inferiority complex that the Dubs have which portrays itself as self perceived superiority . Unfortunately there is no cure .Its just Dublish.

It's unfair, you bloody.....dub! culchie! person!

Must remember that Terry thanks for the English lesson .Whats a sentence ? Get your red pen out . Ever heard of neutrality or sticking to the thread and not getting personal ? Lead by example please.

Its funny when country folk call us Dubs "Jackeens". Its means drunkards and well they aren't exactly pioneers. Oh and by the way on the quality of life issue. We have hospitals that aren't forty miles away and access to clean drinking water all year around. Much more entertainment available for people to indulge in. Culture to indulge in. This is where interesting art is displayed and shows from far off places come to perform. Its much better to live here.

Might I also add that if Dublin is tiny what the heck is your town or village?

I thought "jackeen" was a reference to the Union Jack?

Relax there folks.
The thread is meant to be in jest.
Stop taking it so seriously.

Em ... you sure you're not thinking of hill billies from the deep South of the good ol' US of A?

... or Dubs throw a hissy fit when the culchies take the piss! Seriously, folks, this thread started off light-heartedly and was a bit of fun ... then a few people started getting on their high horses. Why don't you get tf over yourselves (both lots!)?

Jesus, Terry, where tf have you been visiting? Athlone?

Terry wrote: »

Most of the culchies I've met really have a big chip on their shoulders when it comes to dubs.
I suggest you get over yourselves and your city-envy.

Very few of the culchies I know have anything of the sort ...

You're definitely mixing with the wrong people!

We're far too busy fighting with each other.

This is reason we cannot find a final solution to the ***** question!

yeah Terry must have been to Athlone, don't worry they treat everyone the same there, dubs, galwegians, rossies, biffs, male, female it doesn't matter, look at a person the wrong way and you will get your head kicked in, i saw a girl punch a huge bloke in the face one night in a chipper in athlone, blood flowing everywhere....

Coming from a business perspective, and from the countreh, its amazing how often you are automatically assumed to be a moron by the powers that be up in Dublin. This can be an advantage, but generally not so much. Its actually reached the stage that I just hire someone to look after things up there, despite having offices in cities many, many multiples larger than Dublin (where nobody has any problems with my nationality or place of birth).

Womoma am I right in thinking that you do not like people from outside Dublin?

No, youre wrong. I know and love plenty of boggers. I dont like people who have chips on their shoulders, and I get a great thrill out of winding them up.

Isn't it funny how anybody who's even mildly critical of Dublin or the Dubs is accused of having a chip on their shoulder ?

I guess it's 'cos we're all so stoopid to appreciate how great the place it, and so the criticism must be due to something else.

SimpleSam summed it up when he said that he was treated like a moron whenever he visited our great capital because he didn't have a Dublin accent.

BTW for the record, I actually really like Dublin, but don't understand why people feel that they have a right to have a superiority complex irrespective of if they're from Dublin, Athlone, Galway, London, NY or anywhere really.

Exactly. It's not like they're from Cork.
