Ok, so was reading the bomb scare in colaiste ciaran thread and was surprised at the amount of boardies from the town. So just how many people from here live around the place?

I don't work there, but I worked on the door of (first) The Ryevale Tavern/Rock-a-fella's, Ozone, Sammy's (chipper) & Highway 66.

So I earned my spures in Leixlip and rode half your mother's, sister's, wives and girlfriends

I probably rode Terry before the operation too.

Damn right, if this was a dublin related post it would be gone ages ago. Racial discrimination is what its called.

I want a leixlip forum ...

with such classic threads as

"how often have you pissed in the disused fountain"
"was that your ma' with her knickers around her ankles outside the ozone"
"commuting time in a 88 Peugeot 106 knocked down from 30 minutes to 30 seconds"
"student brings bomb to school, but leaves it in chipper"

Agree on the violent part, I lived there for a good few years, and the amount of street fights outside Sammy's on a Friday/Saturday night was mad.

only ever ended up in 1 huge fight on the main street with about 10-15 lads on each side battering each other up and down the road.

Ah the good ould day's.

And a big hi to all the leixlip ladies

It's good that thats the way. Much like northside vs southside in Dublin. What separates the people from the animals? The Rye River! Dirty farenders..

Noopti

"Far-enders" versus "Hillers". The most ridiculous rivalry ever conceived.

Gangs of New York, it ain't.

connundrum

I was in Leixlip once.

Edit - and I actually thought I was in Abbeyleix, which is where I wanted to be

Anoen I know from Leixlip is sound ... I know 5 people, so the rest could all be scum for all I know?

It's home to a former workplace of mine that was hell on earth...ergo I hate it.

You were probably on the door when I was around Leixlip. Interesting times for sure.

From about 94-99 (I think).

Riamfada

I know one or two from Leixlip that are ok. But for the most part, and I stand by this , the place is a kip. Which is a shame because i have alot of good memories there and always thought of it as a gem close to Dublin.

They have a subway... I guess thats a plus.. other than that..... ewwww.

Noopti

Yeah, I would have been going out there in 97-99 alright. I remember the hassle that used to occur around Highway and Sams.

I do like Leixlip though, lived there from the age of 9 to my twenties. I have very good memories of the place, shame there is an element of thuggery around the place. But don't you get that everywhere?

Noopti

Oh yeah, and it is not as bad as Lucan.........

Leixlip is bad enough without lumping it into Dublin.....that would be like throwing a rotten apple into a vat of urine........

You're not from there are ya??

As for the poster who said every area has it's thuggery, yes it does. And Leixlip is no worse in fairness. Even though i was sickened when they brok the crib on main street at christmas.

I'm orignally from Lucan so I take offence to that!

arybvtcw0eolkf

When I worked there part of the problem was that the garda station closed at 11pm, is that still the case?.

Underage drinking, TBH it only ever caused me a problem during the summer months when Paddy Hannigan would have the teenage disco on Wednesday nights -- GUYS THAT WAS MANIC!.. I have never in my life seen anything like the goings on as I seen there, absolutely crazy & disgraceful.

Leixlip, like all these towns is very clanish. For example the 'Hilliers' and the Far-enders' rivellary, or when I was there we'd a lot of northern Irish builders who were employed building IBM and Liffey Valley S.C... Now they weren't exactly made welcome.

I was there was the 'Blue Banana' in Clondalkin got closed down one Christmas and the punters came out to Leixlip for a club - SWEET JESUS were they in for a welcoming committee!.

But for all that I think Leixlip is a lovely place.

Oh, a close third (after beiruts second place) is Swords.

Sorry, but that is my opinion. Celbridge is even worse again though.....so

Only real bad part of Lucan is **ermmmmm** the Clondalkin/Neilstown end!.

Lucan 'proper' is grand.

Noopti

Ah yeah, I like the village of Lucan and most of the general populace. But it sure has it's fair share of cream crackers skulking around the streets.

I'm sorry, but they where far from underage drinkers in the fights i saw.

don't get me wrong, I like Leixlip for a lot of reasons and I still work there.

Aye, it's new Lucan you gotta watch out for... full of scum.

Think you mean the village because Neilstown never mind the rest of Clondalkin comes near to Lucan boundary wise.

At the weekends Lexlip is definitely one of the most violent towns I know! Just sheer craziness though that all changed at 2.20am in Supermacs, Eyre Square, Galway. That was just sheer carnage on so many levels! It went from being empty in 1 min to being full in the space of 2mins top. People sleeping on the floor, asian bloke with his trousers ripped off, 4 seperate people all bleeding for no apparent reason, girls crying, blokes hugging, chips being lobbed around all the while some bloke sat at the table next to us sang a ballad that no-one paid attention to!

Rozabeez

I lived there, went to that school. Had much lulz about the "bomb scare", more lulz that the little knacks were expelled.

I'm a reformed Leixlipian, I drank in Maynooth. It was grand.
If you haven't the sense to avoid large groups of people where the wimmen are wearing white stillettos....what do you expect.

Rozabeez

Also a Maynooth drinker. Have been Courtyard and the 2 GAAs, think that's all.

LuckyStar

I'm also a Maynooth drinker! I prefer to have a glass in my hand rather than my face...

To be honest I feel more at home in Maynooth, for the past 4 years I was in college and literally only went back to Leixlip to sleep.

Leixlip isn't half as bad as Lucan though!!! Or Celbridge... seriously, how many knackers can fit on one street!!!!

Noopti

I remember being dragged to the Setanta House in Celbridge one night. Holy Jaysus!

I couldn't believe what I saw. 17 year olds in tracksuits, runners and hoodies (with the hoods up) hanging around the bar in the "club". It was crazy.

I didn't stay long.

Clare Bear

Have lived in Maynooth for the past 4 years and anytime I've been out in Celbridge, Leixlip or Lucan I've never seen much hassle....have to say I think Maynooth is a "nicer" place to live though. In general the knacks keep to the LA so happy days. Though I hear that's closing down now so the other pubs might be knack central soon enough. But I don't see the big deal with Leixlip being rough, I've seen a lot worse behaviour in country towns. Has anyone ever been out in Abbeyleix on a Saturday night???
