- not being a culchie
and
- being cool

Being close to the airport...

and being close to lots of great gigs....:D

You get desensitized to the smell of stale urine.

Gone West

I'll summarise the future replies for you:

2)Laughing at people from **** places like glasnevin

I assure you, Cork most certainly does not rule. We sorted them out years ago. They are unwitting slaves, which is nice.

You can assume that every other Irish person is a Dub unless stated otherwise.

I must be getting the wrong bus because the only people who talk to strangers on the bus are junkies who piss themselves.

Oh I forgot two other things I love about being a dub..

1 - Being superior to culchies

2 - Winding culchies up, about being muck savages, boggers, etc.
Most enjoyable.:D

Nah seriously, town is good cause ya have everything and it's grand for meeting wimminz unlike the country side. I wish I lived in the city centre!

*i is not actually from dublin but using poetic license for the benefit of this post!

The best thing about actually being from Dublin? laughing at those who laugh at "culchies" yet they're first or at most second generation "dubs" laughing at the people that are their parents and grandparents. Deep insecurity I would say.

Boggers are everywhere, in city, town and village. They're not restricted to any postcode, ancestry or accent.

condra

Wow that sounded really patronising and conceited.

Get out more.

Wibbs

I see a nerve has been touched. In fairness drug dealer's reply was grand and to the point,:) while womoma's was irony of the very highest order. womoma are you actually serious when you typed that? Bleedin hell.

jaffa20

Being close to the airport so i can get out of the kip whenever i'm not working :pac::pac: Only reason i'm here is cos of work. We culchies can rob all the well paid jobs of the 80% unemployment rate of knackers!!! Allows you to stay at home with yore ma

In fairness, the tone of womomas OP was tongue in cheek to wind up culchies, while yours was "holier than thou".

What are the best things about living in a city like Dublin? Maybe its the non existant public transport, scummiest accent in the universe, highest skanger concentration in the universe, piss in every doorway on a weekend night, overpriced vomit pits like temple bar, the high fashion o’connell street, cultural highlights like jobstown and coolock, gangland drug wars.
Yea, living there would make me feel “cool” too.

JaneyMc

I love living in Dublin because if I decide that I want something from the shop at the ridiculous hour of the morning, its less than 5 mins away...
Getting really fed up with living in the city though, would not mind living further out for a while....
Anybody wanna swap???

It might not make you feel cool, but wherever you are from now, makes you sound bitter. Besides, its a city, every city in the world has it problems, like I'm sure you're own area does but probably on a smaller scale.

ImDave

The traffic. Its great being fairly close to everything you need, but given the fact it can take ages to get there is a bit of a drawback.

Latchy

Being able to go back now and again and despite all the changes ,feeling like i never left

The best thing about being a Dub is going to Copper's to laugh at culchies.

biko

·Saying the word 'bleedin' at least 700 times a day.
·Wanting to be, but not being, English.
·Laughing at all other Irish accents despite the fact that nobody anywhere on this planet can understand a word you say.
·Having several family members called Christy and Anto.
