Glasgow with Dublin.
Cardiff with Cork.
Enniskillen with Waterford.

Cork or Limerick paired with Scumthorpe.

Hootanany

Birmingham with Cavan sorry Brum

henryporter

Sh1ttington with Drogheda

Fratton Fred

:rolleyes:

I know the Russians are annexing parts of the Ukraine, but when did the UK start?

Bray with Brighton.

Both Seaside towns that became a depressed shadow of their former selves during the late 70's to 90's with undeserved reputations but which have, in Brightons case and is beginning to in Brays, enjoy a renaissance. Its a different place since the Darts were closed at weekends for Line upgrades during the Summer of 2006. Dublins Finest found a new playground that year and never came back. You can even see videos of the type of imported Dubs that gave Bray its reputation. Search Youtube for "Portmarnock Riots" I think there is even annual versions now. They started soon after.......2006

mike65

Muff and Cockermouth

Effin and Fattiehead

ads20101

Coventry and Cork

2 cities of a similar size. However this is where I get controversial. Both cities are currently are trying to live up to their great histories and failing.

Menas

London and Derry.


Eh....hang on....

can't help but feel a little Schadenfreude after having to put up with this kind of thing every summer weekend here in Bray for the last 25 years.

thelad95

Swansea and Waterford city. Both built into hills and sprawl randomly all over the place...

Muise...

Strabane and Lifford


*ducks

Geomy

Galway and Chester

Pwindedd

Howth and Whitstable - both charming little fishing ports with vastly overrated restaurants of the marine persuasion.

Bench Press

Dundalk and Middlesbrough, both in the northeast, both ****holes
Drogheda and Sunderland, ditto
Dublin would be more like Leeds, the city centres are more alike
Cork and Southampton, both rough

Sir montygom

New Ross and New York

DEFTLEFTHAND

York and Cong, York for it's architecture and 'ye olde English' vibe and Cong and the surrounding area for it's natural beauty. The two nicest places on both islands imo.

bnt

Cocks (Cornwall) with Muff (Co. Donegal)
Sandy Balls (Hampshire) with Nobber (Co. Meath)
Nasty (E. Herts.) with Emo (Co. Laois)
Wetwang (Yorkshire) with Blue Ball (Co. Offaly)
:cool:

smileyj1987

Dundalk with Manchester .

Each to their own, Manchester Rocks !

I'd twin Ashbourne and Milton Keynes and Limerick with Luton

pablomakaveli

Dublin and Leicester because both are ****holes.
Cork and Portsmouth both being southern coastal cities.
Limerick and Glasgow because both are rough.

jimgoose

The Pallasgrean/Oola/Kilteely Conurbation, and Chipping Norton.

thrashmetalfan

twin Longford with Sellafield. Sellafield would be the worse off being twinned with Longford.

Shakespeare's Sister

Galway and Brighton - for the party vibe
Galway and Edinburgh - for the druidy, artsy stuff
Cork and Manchester (maybe not so much now, but they had similarities in terms of nightlife years back)
