Why is south Dublin so full of blowhards? (part 2)

markesmith

Following on from my previous thread - which was Closed by a mod without any explanation - I thought I'd post a couple of recent observations.

I had the pleasure of a long conversation with a bloke today, who sounded like a cross between Ross from Friends and Richard Harris as Bull McCabe. Truly the weirdest accent ever, really grating and shrieking arrogance in every vowel.

Manicured to within an inch of his life, with a finely tailored pink shirt/pink tie combo that would put Beau Brummel to shame, this empty vassal held court, with opinions that had me veering between boredom and offended.

He had me thinking of that quote, "What you are screams so loud I can barely hear what you say".

In the previous post, many of the retorts fell into one of the following three brackets:
1. Culchies are scum/loud drunks (or "assholes", as one 'dude' put it),
2. There are some salt-of-the-earth working-class areas in south Dublin,
3. Cool story bro/in before the lock/tl;dr/yada yada

But, fellow boardsies, I put it to you again: why are there so many of these people in Dublin?

Strange...... subordinates don't usually hold court....

Sheeps

I'd rather have to spend time with someone from South Dublin than someone from anywhere else in Ireland.

How exactly did this happen? I can't even remember the last time I spent more than a minute talking to someone I disapproved of this much.


Ridiculously narrow minded to suggest there are "so many of these type" of people in Dublin alone.

I'm not a culchie mate.

Sheeps

Yeah you are.

Any fcuker who refers to me as mate,I consider to be a total wanker.

Because no where else will have them and there's safety in numbers.

The wanko students never went home and bred here they arent dubliners they are bogger's :mad:

Dead Kennedys

Breeding and wankin' ... fair play!

If you didn't like the person you we're talking to, then why did you have a conversation with him. In Ireland you have freedom of speech and the freedom to listen to who you wish.

Also, what kind of response did you expect to get here? Everyone knows there are alot of weirdos out there, not only in south Dublin.

Honestly man, get access to R&R and get the reaction you want.


GTFO

So you're saying you'd have to be a wanker to be your mate?

Yes there is. And there's a Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown and a Fingal, too.

OP probably means Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown. There's no one like that in South Duiblin, at all, at all.

I cry AFFLUENCE at you my little muck savage, bog hopping, cousin bothering, knuckle dragging, troglodyte. We laugh smugly in an ever so West British/Californian manner at you.

Good day to you loike!

Are you sure? Wikipedia isn't infallible, I'll to go see this South Dublin for myself. It can't be any worse than the the prequel.

Whole thread is a troll. Probably explains why the other one was banned.

The good thing about wikipedia is that they often include links to external website where you can verify the information.

Here's the first one for you: DL-Rathdown website

Jesus relax, it's just a term of endearment. I'd rather someone said "sorry mate can I get by there" than being a rude prick grunting and shouldering his way through you.

Anyway, I've worked with plenty of southsiders and met plenty through boards, as with everyone you get your sound people and your fcuking dicks (we have scum on the northside, you have arrogant I'm better than you ***** on your side, no big deal). It's always hilarious coming across a walking Ross O'Carroll Kelly cliche.

Yeah, it's everywhere south of the Liffey, and vice versa for the northside. Have you been away forever or something?
