If you can't afford a house in Dublin, move!

I was born in Mullingar.
I don't live there anymore, haven't done in many years.
I went to a hen party in Mullingar last year, the town's a good laugh when everyone's hammered.
I was in Athlone too, that's a right spot.

Sorry, what's the question again?

fill the liffey and the canals with concrete and build houses there

Wages in Dublin are higher - rents are higher
Wages in the country are lower- rents are lower

And let's chat about hap limits

Not one place for rent within the range anywhere

It really depends on the job. I'm in the legal industry now and the money is definitely better in Dublin. However I was a tradesman for nearly 10 years and most of my friends are still in the construction industry and they're all extremely well paid, all working in the Midlands area.

Dublin's class. There's coddle and Shamrock Rovers.

Please don't put coddle and rovers is the same sentence.

I like coddle

The only thing that drives me mad about this is when people have kids and they talk about their poor little kids being in hotels and them having a horrible childhood because of the state but then they go off and get pregnant again. If they were religious and married I'd understand and didn't believe in contraception I'd be fine about it but they come across that way.

The only people who think dublin is class are dubs and the odd traitor from Mullingar.

Point taken but are trades not paid at a standardized rate country wide?

Ah but if you leave Dublin you've more chance of having to talk to non dubs.

Imagine.

Non-Dubs sneak onto Boards every so often. On d'internet you can't hear our their accents and see our their wellies and balin' twine belts. Shneaky out!

You could be chatting on a thread with non-Dubs and you wouldn't even know whoops, you wouldn't even know! :eek:

(Muahahahahaha!)

I got my balls disconnected two weeks after becoming homeless.


And yes it was by my own choice

I have zero sympathy for anyone who can't get a place to live in Dublin.

I'm on to your crafty plan.

Get people out of Dublin to lower the house prices so that you can move there.

Won't work. Too obvious

Well if all the people who don't think it's class could just leave, then we'd all be happy.

Dublin. So class.

You're only scratching the surface of the greater plan.

Jaysus,

Did you think that becoming homeless was going to lead to you drowning in gee from all the horny bitches throwing themselves at you due to your new status?


Maybe that's where I've been going wrong all these years!

The latter being pretty much in Wicklow....and can keep moving further out as far as I'm concerned.

Are you going to dig up Joe Dolan and reanimate him at the next full moon to crown him the Emperor of Ireland so that he can shift the capital to Mullingar?

OP, how was the last big traveller riot in Mullingar?

Alf Veedersane

Is it true that people in Mullingar have to shy in a buckeh?

I feel like the culchie version of Martin Luther King Jr because I look forward to a day when the Dubs and us Culchies can sit down together at the table of brotherhood and lay waste to our mutual enemies; the Tans, €6 pints of Guinness and the RTE.

Come on lads.

Dublin is for fodginers and wankahs that's why I'm leaving my home town for Australia in 2 months

House bubble will burst (again), if you really want a house in Dublin be patient. How most my neighbors got their house

Nope just thought it was the responsible thing to do.

That and the fact I have zero interest in having any more kids. I'm happy with my lot in that regard
