    Is it where are you from i.e. where are your family from.

    Or is it - where were you born?

    Or is it where did you spend your formulative years?

    Or is it where are you now?

    I thought I was the only one who knew how to make an easy question awkward. It's whichever one you think it is? Where do you think your from?

    Dublin originally, then moved out to Meath. I moved back into it for work (which Ive now left for college), and look forward to getting the fcuk out of it again. Its somewhat difficult to find an area that isn't a shit hole, or an area thats not full of shit.

    poll results show that the majority are from Dublin.

    This gives all Dubliners on boards the right to refer to Dublin Town simply as "town" in all future threads.




    :D

    Why?

    Own it, wear it, be it ffs! Theres nothing wrong with a Kerry accent, I happen to love a country accent, there is so much more personality to it.

    Are you looking at the same Poll that everyone else is? Poll shows that the majority are from outside Dublin.

    My Interpretation of Dublin is as below

    Dublin city
    Dublin inner city
    Northside /north inner city
    Southside /south inner city
    North county Dublin
    South county Dublin
    The pale

    Most if not all will class themselfs as Dubliners

    You can only have 25 poll catagories, there's not even enough space for all the counties so count yourself lucky I put dublin in there in the first place, it could have been lumped with leinster.

    Carlow is the South East, it says welcome to the Sunny South East on the way in. Laois is Midlands.

    I am from Wicklow, the good side. ;)
