Where would you prefer to live.....

Paddy_Smith

......Arrrdeeeee hey or Dundaaaaalk???

I'm stuck between the two choices of where I want to live, and I want to find out which place you'd prefer to live.

TheZohanS

Neither.

Cheap Thrills!

Sounds like a gruesome decision

Biggins

Hell part 1 or Hell part 2...
Neither - BUT if I HAD to make a choice at gun point to the head, it would be Ardee.

Oh_Noes

Shouldn't the thread be titled "Where would you prefer to not live?"

Joking really. I'm sure they are lovely places. And for some weird reason I have a soft spot for girls with those kid of accents.

Depends what type of life you want,not much happens in Ardee whereas Dundalk's the biggest town in Ireland,although I would be slightly biased!

I think i'd kill myself before going to either.
Or just burst both my eardrums

Can we choose the comprise and select Drogheda?
You know the place with multiple stabbings in a pub :eek:

Ah Louth, everyone in Ireland says book, in Louth it's bewk

Ardee has a nice little community actually and a lot safer and quieter than Dundalk, but there is fookall in it!. The basics are well cover, food shops etc.
Pubs are a bit crap but there is music going on every weekend somewhere.
Nothing to do for kids if you have any though and I literally mean NOTHING.
I spent my youth in Ardee drinking MD 20/20 and smoking doobs cause there was nothing else to be at!. There is a gym now though!.

If you are looking for a quiet life I'd say Ardee, if you are looking for somewhere along the lines of Blanch or Swords, Dundalk wouldn't be far off it.

Dear Paddy,


To answer your question: if I tell you which of your two places I'd prefer to live - are you actually GOING to live in that place then?

Would it really help to make up your mind if I tell you my answer?

Could your family or children have not helped you make up your mind better?

Shall we have a competition or poll to assist your hesitance?

Have you spoken to your priest?

Don't you know how much your helping the cause of the often portrayed image of Irishmen, everywhere?

Jeeezuz!

Lived in the town me whole life,great place to live,good community spirit,good night life,good shopping, all you need really. It's suffered badly from the recession though like most of Louth.

Ya can't bate the Dundaaaaaaalk accent hey!

gerbear1

Dundalk hands down! Ardee is tiny and you'd end up going in to Dundalk to do anything anyway. Go on the town!

Well Louth is the best county in Ireland, with the best accents!

plein de force

the two of those are just awful options
it's like sophie's choice
ardee is tiny and nothing to do
dundalk is bigger with more of nothing to do and has that really weird smell in parts

Raffo69

Fundalk all the way. Unless you want to live a very quiet life.

Ahh come on now, that's not true.

It has Ice skating, Hill walking(Cooley Mountains), swimming(Aura), horse riding(Ravensdale) if you're feeling active.
If you're in the mood for a good night out, you could go to the cinema, go bowling, or to the pubs (Courtneys, Spirit Store, The Phoenix).
You can visit the museum, the art exhibitions or the music recitals(both in the town hall) if you're in a cultural mood. Also the spirit store and can check out the gig guide for it.

That's the stuff I can think of at the top of my head and I don't even live there hey.

Don't ever say that dundalk has nothing to do, a bit stupid don't you think?!

It has kiddd, the reason why i'm moving up from draaaaaaawda is because the wife wants a fresh start somewhere where we can relax, not like drogheda hey!

She also has two Job choices hey, one in arrrdeeeeeee hey and one in dundaaaaaaaalk!... And whatever one she picks, we'll be moving to that location hey!

I'm going to miss the draaaaaaawda accent a lot hey!

Thanks for all your help Kidddd!

Well this entire thread just proves that the Louth accent can be tranferred to text.

It makes me want to rip out my eyes instead of stabbing my ears like I usually do upon hearing such droll accent. I have yet to meet anyone from louth, and especially Dundalk, who can sound in anyway intelligent.

If stephen Hawkings computer voice was in a dundalk accent he would have been ignored from the start.

KeithM89_old

I cant take all this Dundalk bashing - reeks of jealousy...
Theres a reason its been named 'Greatest place on earth' 14 years in an row...

Biggins

If the OP has to really make a choice, he should base it on ease of access to modes of transport (especially important this week alone), range of shops, schools, free facilities and maybe more available services.

I rather be in Dundalk when all is said and done for a number of reasons (as above alone) than be in Ardee.

There's pro's and cons to each but what ever one makes life easier in the long run, even if it comes down to more choices of delivery pizza services lol, that the OP should go with.

HornyDevil

Paddy thinks he might go to Ardee after all

Paddy_Smith

I have finally decided, i'm moving to Dundaaaaaaaaaalk.

The wife reckons it will be an easier lifestyle than the other choice(Ardee). She has a lot of friends up there and she also got a new job, with better wages than the job choice(was a choice, not anymore) in ardee.
She also said she'll be able to understand the 'Dundaaaaaaaalk' accent much easier than the 'arrrdeeeeee hey' one!

I'm doing it for her(moving to Dundalk). I always put everybody before myself!


Thanks to everyone who gave a helping hand in this topic!!!

HornyDevil

So how is Dundalk then Paddy?

Are ye getting on with the natives?

Any regrets over Ardee?

Will ye not tell us?

. . . . ah gowan, gowan, gowan, gowan, gowan, gowan, gowan, gowan, gowan
