Yea, what they do is that they fit the stereo in a 15 yr old honda civic, load the car with a few hundred lads and drive around with it blaring so that the remaining few not in the car can also enjoy the benefit of the techno music

Heh, sounds like the entire country to me. Nothing says "Supreme Racer" like the destroyed Renault Clio I saw last night with it's battered engine, busted exhaust that makes it sound like a washing machine choking on cavity blocks, Xmas lights around the license plate and under the arches, and Scooter blaring out on the busted amp while it looks like it had 312 people stuffed into the little metal tin.

The car actually looked like a raisin with wheels.

I could tell right away: "One day, that young man is going to grow up and bring Ireland home the gold in rallying"

What about the "Howyeeeeee luff" skanger in the lovely country town who rides all the neighbors husbands... All the skanger babies that follow hardly make each place distinguishable to be honest.

I'm home once every 2 months and it's more like Dublin every time.. There's more Dubs living outside Dublin nowadays, houses are cheaper. The places are nicer.

I aint being biased, it's simple fact IMO. Though I've been up here for a good few years and love it, can't ever imagine going back to such rural shizzle.

Seems the Dole money gets you more bang for your buck outside the pale. Of course what constitutes 'nice' is highly subjective, isolation and not being in the main centre of almost everything sounds like my idea of hell regardless of the vista.

Tallaght and Rialto are on the southside, Howth and Clontarf the northside. Just though I'd point out the fact that using the river to divide people is retarded. It's the % of council homes that should be used

I never mentioned anything about North/Southside!

I don't understand this. Explain please?

This thread is the usual nonsense. There are good and bad Dubs and we are just the same as everyone else in the country...













except we don't marry our sisters.

Oh sorry the first part was a response to you the other was a general addition to the thread

Lower cost of living in more scenic and unspoiled areas due to lack of proximity to Dublin.

I know a fair few people who are living in Munster and other parts of Leinster because their dole,single mothers and RA get's them and their sprogs a nicer house.

Jahsus I'm on an anti-welfare kick today :pac:

The postal codes on the northside are odd numbers.
Those on the southside are even numbers.
You will usually hear those in the odd number category called scumbags - and it usually comes from those in the even numbers category:)

Raheny has plenty of Knackers, everywhere does.

It's lucky ye do, the overpopulation would be serious otherwise. It could get to the stage that you'd have too many people cramped into the one area creating a spell of social problems such as crime, drug use inbreeding etc. God it would be like Dublin or something.:D

If you were a postman in Dublin, which area would you not like to get postcode wise . Dublin 8 ?

Dont understand the whole north/south thing. South Dublin has some of the biggest kips in the country.

There's no D8 on the Northside.

Southside is even numbers

Northside is uneven numbers

BTW Raheny is full of ****ebags up around the Killbarack shopping centre area.

The sea front is a safe place not much trouble there. The Malahide road is alright up till the UCI . Then again after the Hillton it is ok.

Yeah it is ehhh in Kilbarrack but people from pheking Kilbarrack have an issue thinking they live in Raheny . Hense there are scummers up that way.

Didn't know that about the phoenix park. In my defense , that the only area on the Northside then that's even numbered. Or is it ?
