Any of you hate dublin

frecklier

I think people's situations have a lot to do with it. If you're married with kids, of course Dublin is a nightmare, having to ferry kids to creche, get to work, etc. But why would a single person want to live in the country, when there's something different to do every night of the week in Dublin? In January, I'll have been to the theatre 5 times, 2 music gigs, and a few nights out in the pub. Can't get all that in the country.

Dublin smells really bad.

The Government should look at providing incentives to boggers to leave the Capital and free up jobs for Dubliners.

Screw the rest of the country.

Everyone knows that the dubs are chronically workshy, this plan will never work.

I've lived in Dublin all my life and it's starting to tire me. If Apple gives me a job I'll move to Cork... which is a cool city. It's Dublin Lite... i.e. plenty of stuff going on, but less of the hassle.

Dublin smells really bad

and im always acutely aware of my possessions, thinking im probably going to get mugged...

so i stay away from the place like the plauge.

Only usually there because of the airport!

Dublin is sh*t and the only people that seem to think otherwise seem to have lived there their entire lives and never left the place.

I'd love to stop working in Dublin except our incompetent government won't put infrastructure anywhere else to encourage companies to move there. Hell they won't even put in sufficient infrastructure for the people that do have to work in Dublin.

So eh, stop voting for muppets ya muppets :P

I used to hate it.. Then I started spending time in little place called Clane in Kildare.. My God.. It's like Coronation Street.. EVERYONE knows each other's business.. They're all shagging each others partners.. Theres like, one pub everyone goes to on a Saturday night and I know 90% of the faces in there, it's like being back in school, you're almost doing a role call.. Have to get outta there, it's messing with my mojo Rarely go to Dublin for a night out but when I do it's a breath of fresh air.. So much 'drama' in those one horse towns..

Ah, I like Clane! Been out there a good few times. Plus the Westgrove Hotel is a nice place to go for a few drinks.

I don't like Dublin city centre and rarely go near the place anymore for nights out etc but I like where I live in the suburbs. I could never live in the city centre, I'd crack up!

I hate Dublin for it's increasingly materialistic and vain society. It smells bad in parts. More than once I've been walking down the street and will stop to stick my fingers down my crack to check if I've **** myself. I hate the **** who insist on driving their Lexus into work in the morning when they could just get a bus instead (Commuters are understandable though, yis live miles away). I despise the licencing laws, the lazy police service, the fact that my favourite places to drink in are closing down, the poxy health service, the way the luas doesn't go past my house, the way my wall in my bedroom is falling down.

What I do like though is being able to complain about all this on the internet like a real man

Dublin ain't the worst (used to be a great laugh) but it's changing into a trendy, stylish and shambolic ****hole that I'd rather not be living in much longer.

Um, that's pretty much the whole of Ireland mate. Dublin probably leads the rest of the coutry in this regards but last time I checked Galway, Cork, Limerick and everywhere else were just as bad.

Where are you planning on going? Because most of the Western world is like this. Sorry to rain on your parade. Unfortunetly we're living in a material world and you, whether you like to admit it or not, are a material girl.

Lovely personal attack there, cheers grasshoppa. No I dont speak like that, and neither do half the population of Dublin but its just yet another prejudiced remark and trust me I've heard them all before.
