Take the PEEHS out of Dublin [Closing: 3rd June 10am; reveal 8pm]

ari101

It's time to take the PEEHS out of Dublin...



After the success of my SHEEP I appear to have caught a game running bug Format unashamedly stolen from Rikand's 15to1! :pac:

This is like regular Peehs, except I give you 12 questions AND their answers and you just give me what you think the least popular answer will be from all the choices available.
In Peehs, the object of the game is to finish with the lowest score possible.

Please PM me your answers, do NOT post them on thread.
Please note, if you choose something other than the listed answers, you will not be eligible for the wooden spoon competition!

Knowledge of the Capital Sh*tty is not required... neither is googling, but it is allowed if you think it can help (or if you want to learn more about my choices )!
I'm a culchie, partly (unintentionally) impersonating a jackeen these days, so a bit of good natured slagging of my categories, and moreso my answers, is definitely welcomed.

Reveal tbc: sometime after Eurovision mania (i.e. last week of may, after cee_jay's SHEEP )


13. Pubs to visit post Covid (if they are/were to open)
Against the Grain, The Barge, Berlin, The Bernard Shaw, The Black Sheep, Doheny & Nesbitt, The Gravediggers, Grogan's, Kehoe's, The Long Hall, No name, PMac's, Toner's

9. Shopping centre to splurge in

Dodder, Grand Canal, Liffey, Royal Canal

3. Where you go to see the supposedly eco friendly low powered LEDs that make up the modern xmas lights
Grafton St, Henry St, IFSC (so you can accidentally fall into the lock beside CHQ while looking up)

2. Well now, controversial or what? Simple question with a complex answer that can make or break you (literally):
Northside or Southside


AND There can only be 1. winner, hopefully!!! :pac:


(Disclaimer: all categories and answers are meant in jest, no offence intended to Dubliners, those from the 'real' capital, culchies, and other uncatergorisable souls alike All welcome to play foreign or domestic )

I gave absolutely zero thought to the answers I've submitted because I didn't think that mulling over them for a PEEHS would do anything more than give me a headache.

Just as popular in culchie-land (actually I dunno). I went into Leo Burdocks once and was horrified to note the beef patty is deep fried (need vomit emoji ) Like how hard is it to have a hot plate!

I was just grateful it was multiple choice .


Haven't been in any. Last time I was in Dublin was to catch the ferry and that was about 10 years ago. So I've used all of my expert knowledge.

I've definitely been to them all, but quite a few on the list I'd pop into frequently enough, and a handful that I've only been to once or twice.

I have a friend who bothered to register for a Penney's appointment this week

There are 12... and hopefully there'll be 'normality' by the end of the year...

(Well actually I'm a lightweight, so can't do 12 unless someone is carrying my home and paying the throwing up fee to the taxi man )

Curious is Temple Bar the dearest place in ROI for a drink?

I got to Penneys this week and bought a lot of not needed things, but being in a clothing store was fabulous, found a few increase in prices of some items

As a general area I would expect so. I imagine there are certain swanky hotels and airside in any Irish airport that are dearer...?

There are 13, and you should know that ari, as it's your game. :rolleyes:

Logistically, you could rule a good few of them out anyway if it were a pub crawl, as a handful of 'em are a bit further afield.

If nothing comes to play, and doesn't pick the doughnuts, I'll be disappointed

Agreed - Doheny & Nesbitt and The Gravediggers for me, two of the finest pints of Guinness in the country. It's been so, so long....! And now I don't even live in Dublin, god knows when I'll be back in them

Good thing I'm not playing given I'm from Mayo

I'm a culchie but have been living in the Big Shmoke for over 6 and a half years now, time to see if I've gained honourary Dub status? (Whether I want it or not is a different matter!)

There are three of those pubs I've never been to, one is just a bit too far out of the way and the other two are always too busy to bother venturing inside anytime I was in the vicinity. I've only been to four of the restaurants, though think I might have had food from a fifth one as a takeaway if I'm thinking of the right place.

I've never had boxty, and my first time tasting Guinness and coddle (not together, separate occasions) were both when I lived in England! :pac:

So you're all either Dubs who moved out, or culchies who moved in. Am I the only Dub living in Dub around these parts?

Based on my inbox I think some are also culchies who will never move in

I thought this first line from an article on a public order case in Donegal this week would be apt for this thread.

“ A drunk man who called a Garda a "fat Mayo c***" was told he truly insulted the officer as he was from Dublin.”

Nah. I'm from and still live in Dublin. Although I would never refer to myself as a "Dub" nor anyone outside of it as a "Culchie" - not a fan of County Tribalism (likely because I don't care for GAA), and the people who get very precious about their County as if we're not all a stones throw away from one another I find particularly tedious... They're usually the people who've never crossed county lines their entire lives, let alone ventured abroad, tend to be obsessed with their "Parish", and have a very small minded view of the world (and that goes for people inside and outside The Pale). Although our so-called government have always worked hard to nourish the divide between counties as well as the divide between social classes, as it suits their continued agenda to have everyone turning against and looking down on each other, so we're never a threat to rise up against them, sitting there in their McMansions laughing at all the plebs struggling to survive in a rigged system but too focused on arbitrary County lines and feuding over footballs and sliotars to see the bigger picture. Wake Up Sheeple!

We live on a small island, I'm happy to just be Irish, no matter what corner of it I was born and raised in.

As always, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
