Fair play to you DublinMan, your kind words about our capital is a welcome change from the usual moan, groan and whine.

I don't understand the insecurity. Why are dubs so bothered about non-dubliners not liking their city?

Are you proud to be irish or proud to be just from duuublin??????

Not this shyte again.

Dublin's crap. You can't walk around the city centre without being confronted by a mixture of winos, crazies, scumbags and chuggers. Not to mention the utterly unattractive city centre and €2 shop mentality. I avoid the city centre as much as possible nowadays. There are plenty of European cities far better/nicer/safer than Dublin. Why tourists come here is a mystery to me, it's a deeply ugly city.

It's nice to be proud of where you're from:cool:, a place only seems crappy when a person from there is ashamed of it.

The most annoying thing about Dublin is seeing how easily it could be so much better.

i wouldn't call dublin crap, far from it, to answer your question tourists come to dublin to sample the nightlife and the irish pub culture is second to none having travelled the world, in madrid they try and copy it, in NYC they try and copy it

yes i agree dublin isn't the nicest city to look at, parts of it are disgusting and really dublin corporation should look at themselves in the mirror, when you visit a city about the same size as dublin ie oslo and see how clean that place is it makes dublin look so much worse, there is no reason why all of dublin city centre can't look like victorian dublin which seems to be manicured each night

I'm a 'bogger' and I quite like Dublin. I like it a bit less every time someone like you comes on boards though.

Its overpriced, overcrowded and its impossible to get a taxi on a night out. Roads are a disaster and there is junkies all around the city centres. Its also ugly and recently has lost the charm of the people. As a city I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The best thing about Dublin are some of the people, you do meet some gems but of late that has changed as people become more money obsessive.

More than most in Dublin. Just back from Valencia and seen none! Not too many in Munich either. Also hardly any in Galway or Cork. What about the other parts of the arguements!

It seems that the education system in Dublin is broke.

That is all nonsense.
Although if you think its ugly, that is your opinion and you are entitled.
I used to think it was but then I got to see a bit more of it.
And its not.
Some lovely little areas tucked around the place.
I have to say it has grown on me in a big way in the last year or two.

There are literally winos crazies and scumbags in every city in every bloody city in the developed world.
There are chuggers everywhere too.

Very few decent pubs in the city centre though......

And Im from Dublin, but love the 'bogs'. You dont want to listen to shyte like the original post. Every county has their good 'uns and their bad 'uns. If you hadnt posted the above, I wouldnt have posted seriously in this thread. What a load of shit-stirring childish crap.

Dublin is an awfully ugly city compared to its European counterparts. Look at other capital cities, Edinburgh, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Prague, Stockholm, London, Berlin etc. Dublin is one of the ugliest cities in Europe and wouldn't compare favourably to any of those cities. Full of apartment blocks and very little planning. Then they stick a massive spike in the middle As I said earlier the best thing about Dublin are the people you meet there but that goes for many cities in Ireland.

Couldn't be arsed having an arguement with a strung out coke head.

Dublin can be an ok place I guess but the amount of jackeens posting about it in AH is pissing me off. Keep it in your own forum ffs, I don't give a **** about your town.

ChocolateSauce

I also love Dublin, but only because it is my home. I prefer Paris, a city I've only been to once.

This thread is a trainwreck

Well my da said that your town is crap and that Dublin is great and your da is gay so that means my da could totally take your da.

I really hope people over the age of 16 are not posting in this thread.

Do you know what, get rid of the blinkers and you'll be grand! That's the truth, Dublin is a city full of junkies and scum, then that's all you're going to see that. If you think Dublin is the best place since sliced bread, then you're deluded. It's far from any utopia or ghetto, Dublin is what it is, like all cities. It's got positives and negatives, but to be fair I'm from the 'bog' and I would actually feel safer going out and drinking in Dublin etc... in spite of all the bad aspects of the city. Seriously, just stick to the nice areas and you're alright unless you want to see junkies and scum, you should be okay. I could say the same thing about London, if you go out in London, it's the same, South Kensington, Richmond nice places, Peckham, Lewisham, Mile End, Stepney Green, Bow etc... awful shit holes. You see what you want to see, and this is applicable to nearly every other city in the world. The thing is though, Ireland isn't that nice of a country to begin with, so don't be surprised to see a lot more of the shit, God awful aspects of Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and all of the crappy towns and villages in between becoming more pronounced over the next few years.

Aside from this, this thread is pointless and stupid.

Anna Molly

I'm from the schticks, boyyyyy. But I live in Dublin, I've never really had a bad experience in Dublin. There was that one time when a knacker tried to rob **** out of my housemate's car, but that's it really.

I prefer it to the sticks because where I live, there's bugger all to do.

Totally agree. And i live here.

If you compare Dublin to other European capitals it isn't great tbh. In comparison with the likes of London, Berlin and Amsterdam it's really disappointing.
The infrastructure isn't great. Traffic is a nightmare. There are no cycle paths and the city is not pedestrian friendly whatsoever.
Everything is so expensive.
The airport is a mess. The nightlife is okay.
Theatre and the arts are not promoted or funded enough for a city of its scale.
I will say that it's a great sporting city though.

Latchy

It has changed a lot and I dont live there now but Dublins my home city ,were I was born raised and grew up .
It has all my memories , good and bad , so in that respect I love it .

I always make the most of my trips over so from that perspective appriciate it more to .

blondie83

I love being in Dublin - was born and grew up here, and though I've travelled the world there's really nowhere else I'd want to live. One of my favourite things to do when I get home from a long trip away is to just wander around town for a few hours soaking it all in again.

NullZer0

Try living in Templebar.
Its a nightmare.

I would say Dublin is the worst City I have lived in.

ScumLord

I don't know where people are going with Dublin looks ugly, any time I've been passing through it lately I have to say it's come on allot and looks quite impressive. Driving in Dublin is a nightmare though.

It was probably your Dublin accent that got you searched. I've never been searched or even seen anyone being searched going into a nightclub or pub in Galway.

That's what I love to do when I am over and after a hr or two , like a hand in a glove , you feel at home .:)
