    This post will be for people who use Connolly Station often

    Okay there's these two idiots arguing in my class about it.

    Guy A says, "O'Connell" because he can't pronounce Connolly, which he actually can't, he pronounces it like, 'Cannally'.
    Guy B is adamant saying it's Connolly and nothing else.

    So what's your take?
    When Guy A says O'Connell I know what he means

    But what if his friend is physically stronger than him and the OP is a beta male?

    O'Connell Street is names after Daniel O'Connell.

    Let's all try to keep an eye on our spelling people! We need to turn this place around and bring up the tone.

    Shocking stuff and from a moderator too.

    Well monarchists would have the most to fear from the memory of Connolly in particular

    Seeing as it's been Connolly station since 1966 I suspect there won't be too many of your type around for much longer.

    That name never took off at all and you never hear it. People always did a double take thinking you had jumped capitals somehow, as well as it having the resonance of a provincial town trying vainly to ape the real thing. Even with the spelling léger de main.
    Kingsbridge has such a satisfying gravitas to it, I dont know why anyone would choose not to use it still.

    Given you've spent most of the months subsequent to the Brexit vote on this website earnestly imploring the Irish to leave the EU and put themselves back on their knees as John Bull's rape victim for a few more centuries, we'll file the above under the same "Last grunts of the plebeian windbag underclass of a dying Empire" heading.

    Up the Republic.
