The Town, the Village or The City.

Where would you NOT wanna Live? and why?

For me its a got to be a village, I lived in one already and to be honest if you wanna pass from this world in a state of paranoia then go live in one :pac:

I find it to be too gossipy for my liking. for example when I was living in the highlands of scotland I'd be in me back garden clipping my fingernails, then five minutes later I'm down the local shop and your wan says ''you should use a bowl for those clippings'' :eek: the shock the shock. I mean news travels fast man.

I couldn't live full-time in the countryside proper. It would have to be at least a village, but at the end of the day I'm happiest in a quiet/suburban part of a city.

Would be great to have a place in the countryside for visiting though.

Ok. I'm game.
I wouldn't want to live in a big city (anywhere).
Currently working on the move to my favourite town as above.

Where I live now

Suburbs, close to city, close to sea, close to mountains

edit: NOT want to live, D'oh, in that case the bog end of nowhere is out for me.

A "rurban" place - civilisation but with countryside aspects to it (e.g. woods).

I don't wanna live in the country side.
Its too open.
I prefer being surrounded by people but having my own little space.

Ah yes, I forgot, education and enlightment stops at the edge of that horrible chavtastic concrete jungle known as 'Cork City'.

And 'civilisation' is spelt with a 'z', unless you happen to be an illiterate yank.

OP, the countryside - I like nature, peace and quiet, tranquility and low crime rates, and it is, by far, the best place to raise a family.

Yeah the question should have an affirmative phrasing.

I agree with you here, I'm originally from a small village. It's fine and all, there's good and bad people but you can't get away from the fact that everyone knows your business. So yeah, village for me.

Well my village had one spar shop joined to the post office and then just one pub to congregate in. you either became an alcoholic or you became a fitness fanatic.

I've never lived in a village but some of them look really pretty. Still, judging by the over-nosiness of the neighbours mentioned by people I'm thinking they'd bug me after a while. Guess I'm not a Village Person. (not meaning to get YMCA stuck in anyone's head or anythin'...)

I would not want to live in a completely rural countryside location. I like being close to retail, food and cinema complexes. A town would be best for me. Towns have almost everything you need but are still small enough to have a community feel to them. Then you can pop into and out of the city when you need some excitement

I would NOT want to live in a village. I'm quite private so I'd get irritated if I had nosey neighbours.

I live in a large town surrounded by countryside but close enough to the city. Perfect.

Aye well the village I visited I thought was deadly until I lived in it for a a few years :rolleyes::)

Kasabian

It's not where you are, it's who you're with.

for me it's a few miles from a fairly decent sized town but by the sea and far enough away from the neighbours so I can howl at the moon if I want to .


Edit .Oooops I got the question arseways.

I have lived in a village , a town and a city , I enjoyed them all . If pushed i would say village , too much hearsay goes on it villages.

you don't know what a person or village is like till you live with or in them

living in a village means a lack of amenties obviously or lack of anything if living in an irish village

Country side

I currently live in the complete countryside, well for someone who can't drive:p, it's boring as fcuk. I live a mile away from thee village(one pub and a shop) and two mile from the town(6 pubs, 2 bookies, 2 cafés, 5 chippers(:rolleyes:), sports shop, a Centra, 3 garages(the shop kind, not mechanics:p) and 4 sweet shops). I'd hate to live in a big city or town, too impersonal for me, tbh. I'd like to live in a town or village, like I described but perhaps not those particular places.

City is a definate no-no for me, though.

City

I suppose a village cos evryone knows your business.
I love living in cities and the countryside. I think people from the countryside have a great advantage beacuase most end up working or going to college in a city so live there. But then also have the countryside to go home to. Have the best of both worlds really

The country side, I lived in the country side when I was 3 until I was 5. I had to cycle a mile to school which was pretty tough at that age and it wasn't one of those bikes that had the chain, no matter how fast you went, the pedals went round and round. It resulted in a nasty accident which included me, the bike and a ditch.

For that reason and other obvious ones, I never want to live in the country side.

Wouldn't like to live in a city as such, I wouldn't mind Galway coz it's an enlarged town rather than a city.

Villages are meh, as someone said, full of gossipers. Everybody knows everything about everybody else.

alwaysadub

I would not want to live in the city centre of anywhere.
I live in a rural place now,we don't even have a village , and i love it.
If i really really had to move to the suburbs,fair enough, but i couldn't live in the city centre.

So do i vote for city or town??

being a Dub,town is the city centre...

GLaDOS

Wouldn't be able to stand the countryside, too isolated. Village would probably be similar. Town or suburbia (where I am now) would be prefereable. Inner city would be ok.

I agree.
Maybe we will fall across each other some day in Ma Nolans bar near the old french quarter and day market/night outside restaurant area.
Between the cheapness of the trains running up to Cannes and down to Monte Carlo minutes away in either direction, great weather, new and old style living and beautiful views/historic buildings/women/food/etc... you couldn't ask for much better.

AssaultedPeanut

Village

I love the city and would hate to live too far away from it.

I think the countryside is beautiful in parts of the country and some of the villages are really nice. But I wouldn't see myself living in either

But I definitely could not live in one of those scabby looking, manky little towns that you pass through when travelling around Ireland.

They seem to have their own breed of skangers/knackers/chavs that're like 2 parts skanger; 1 part farmer; 3 parts itinerant. The shops are always run down little holes that sell copious amounts of briguettes and gas cylinders and all thats on the shelves is a couple of tins of beans and a copy of Ireland's own . And there's always about 20 chippers, mostly frequented by the above mentioned skanger hybrids *shudder*


So town got my vote

If it's inside Dublin, I'm fine generally... :cool:

But living..I'd hate to be in a town. Like Ennis or Dundalk or Thurles or Ballinasloe or Newbridge. Built up, but still dead..at least you know why a village is remote beforehand.

Whether a village has a Gah pitch would decide their fate..

a white city like athens

a multicolour city like las vegas ........ or hong kong

I couldnt live in the countryside or small town kinda place. Everybody knows everybody and it almost seems like a different culture.

Where I live is perfect for me, 15 min walk to town, bus service few times an hour, lots of things going on around the area all the time, its a sweet deal. I live in Turners Cross for those from Cork.

it would have been so much less confusing if the word not wasn't in the poll . . . as for me, i'd only live in the country . . .

OP, I don't mind living in any of those places as asked, but generally prefer the countryside.
