    Well, we put a toll up to try and keep the Cavan people out.

    Putting two tolls on the M3 wasn't smart, it's deserted and the slower alternative routes are brimming.

    You know how some (well a fair few) of people up in Dublin talk about people out in the sticks as being Cultchies and a bit t'ick or all farmers or inbred's ... is this all just friendly banter and a laugh or what? - its not serious is it.

    And you know the fuss some Dubliners make when the people travel up (from Sligo haha :D ) and shop up in Dublin on certain days with the Dubliners feeling like they have been invaded is that all a laugh what is said , or said toungue in cheek, or is there animosity there? - surely its good isnt it people travelling up to Dublin to spend their hard earned (farmed :D ) cash isnt it?

    "Down to Dublin."
    "Up to Sligo."
    Or even "Over to Dublin."

    Take an aul gander at a map there Andy ;)

    In Dublin it north vs south with west Dublin totally fooking confused.
    Probably because the Dublin West/South West/Inner City region is the most socioeconomically disadvantaged region in the country so they are excluded from the battle between Northsiders/Southsiders battling for posho supremacy.

    The only thing I hate about non Dubs is them calling all crisps, regardless of brand, 'Taytos'.

    Are we (the Culchies) the only ones who say Minerals for soft drinks? - or do you call it Minerals up there in Dublin too?

    Culchies think Dubs hate them so, consequently, culchies dislike Dubs ........... what culchies don't realise is that Dubs don't even give culchies a second thought, we just don't care enough to warrant any animosity towards them.

    I think its so unfair that people have to pay a toll entering Dublin from the west on the motorway, sure we are all poor us that dont live in Dublin - I think if I run this country I would just charge the Toll for Dubliners coming out of Dublin :)

    You're wrong there, it's always "up to Dublin" no matter where in the country you're coming from and it's always "down to Ballywherever" when coming from Dublin to anywhere in the country ........... except Donegal and Belfast, we always say "we're going up to Belfast".

    culchies dislike Dubs because Dubs actually have up to date modern things like a great public transport system, larger and better shops and fast Broadband :pac: - its Jealous we are...

    I don't dislike all Dubs, there are at least 3 that are fairly sound.

    Inner city Dubs (and I say this as a Dub) are as crazy as any country hillbilly.

    For all the slagging about being inbred, weird and fooked up that certain elements of country people get, I can stand over the fact that inner city Dubs are just the same. Now obviously I'm not talking about Garret from Dalkey, who now lives in the inner city. Nor am I talking about Seamus from Claremorris who now lives in the inner city. I'm talking about folk that were reared in the inner city of Dublin. They are predominately fooking lunatics, just like the best you'll meet from the far reaches of the sticks.

    I think every culchie should experience Dublin at some point but just don't get stuck there. A culchie's worse nightmare is one of their kids wearing a Dublin jersey or speaking with a Dublin accent :eek:

    Permanently angry and aggressive over nothing.

    It was very, very smart indeed for our heroic capitalist businessman who bravely financed said toll stations, getting a written guarantee from the state that they would compensate him each year so that he would earn a minimum few million euro in profit. Such risktakers of the free market.

    Most of the young wan's in Sligo speak with a Dublin Accent ... well I say Dublin, but it could be mixed with a bit of american accent too - maybe its not cool to speak with a shligo accent any more to dem ...
