impr0v

I have never been in galway without it raining, so therefore i'm obliged to go with option b.

Mr.Nice Guy

Galway v Dublin?Are you taking the p*ss?

Why not compare Roscommon to Las Vegas?

Dublin is the greatest city in Ireland,if not the earth!

wayfarer

Galway defo. Dublin is full of tossers

DEmeant0r

Can't compare the two, since I was never really in Dublin all that much. So I'll Galway, it's great except for the price of rent among other things.

Its very hard to beat Galway during Race Week.

Mossy Monk

not too fond of dublin

Galway for me

Galway is just a little version of America! They all think they're so intelectual and smart just because they got donnie darko the first time they watched it and thaught it was amazing. There is only two catagories in Galway. Rockers or "moshers" as they might say and Hippies. Galway stinks. Up Dublin.

Blisterman

Dublin wins, just because Galway includes the evil place known as the Gaeltacht(sp?)

StupidLikeAFox

Ive never actually been in Galway, but from other people i generally get the impression that its a good bit better than dublin. Great night life and not as many scumbags lurking about. Better atmosphere all round, apparently

Blisterman

Well I should go sometime. I went before, but didn't go out anywhere.

po0k

I've lived in both, and I prefer Galway.

Amz

Galway's too small, you're always bumping into people you don't want to bump into.

I don't like that.

They both have good and bad points.

Dublin has far more ameneties and the public transport is advantagous.

In Galway you can pretty much walk anywhere in less than an hour.

Ironic.

You have got a major inferiority complex dude.



Blisterman, you're talking out of your arse re:Gaeltacht

Blisterman

I spent 3 weeks in that hellhole.

And quite obviously you learned nothing.

There are Gaelteacht areas all over the country, not just in Galway.

Blisterman

Well, obviously I did. Thats why I hated it. Also the food was boring. potatoes every day. They're stuck in the famine days.
Also, I hate solitude, and don't really like the countryside. And the people in my house were assholes.

Amz

And how many of the people in your house were from Galway?

The bleedin' Gaelteacht is by no means an accurate example of all of Galway, don't be so narrow minded and stubbern. Living with a Bean an Tí and 10 or so complete strangers for a month isn't an accurate representation of life anywhere let alone life in Galway.

Go back there when you're 18 or older and you'll realise your mistake.

Blisterman

I didn't say I hate all of Galway, just that the Gaeltacht brings it down as a county, like Ballymun brings down Dublin.

How unusual for a bean an tí not to spend a fortune on top-quality ingredients and not to hire a top chef for cooking. :eek:

And *hello*, we're talking about the city, not the country.

As for Galway V. Dublin, I like both but they're too different to do a real comparison.

Blisterman

It's not that the food was cheap. i mean we had roast beef, and chicken, the problem was that it hardly changed.

But as I said, I will visit the city some time.

Hard to compare the two really. Dublin has its advantages because of it's size, and as such they get all the big gigs in the country (could be a reason to hate it though) and the music shops up there have a tremendous advantages over those here in Galway. There's Bruxelles too. But in that said, Dublin is 98% hole, and the skanger ratio is through the roof. Galway has a completely different vibe altogether though, and I find it a much superior place to reside in, whereas Dublin is a nice place to visit.

Hehehehe.
Yeah, good lad, you clearly have a valid opinion there, having had so much experience of a gaeltacht area.

And your youth is no excuse for such ignorance.

Lived in Galway most of my life, great city and great nightlife, have to agree with earlier comments on the fact it is too small, you always meet people you don't want to. hardly no traffic jams, we have 1km of a bus lane, also a lot of effort is required to pull in Galway

living in Dublin for the past 6 months, you hardly ever meet anyone you know (which is a good thing), good selection of pubs and clubs, a bus service that works sometimes, as for the women they really could not be any easier...

Lived in both and they both have their advantages.

Dublin Pros:
A semi-working public transport network
More big-name gigs
Croke Park
Better quality, cheaper hash
It rains less.

Dublin Cons:
Skangers, everywhere.
D4 heads, everywhere.
Traffic is unbearable
€5 pints
Can't cycle anywhere without some prick in a 4x4 trying to kill you
A barrage of racism every time you sit into a taxi.
It's colder.
Junkies

Galway Pros:
People are friendlier
Less scumbags (though a growing minority of 'G4' tossers)
You'll always meet someone you know when you walk down shop street yet the city's big enough to get lost in when you want to.
Cheaper Pints
Good Guinness is the norm, not a rare exception.
Traffic moves a lot better
Everywhere is within walking distance.
Cheaper rent.

Galway Cons:
It rains. A lot.
No public transport worth a damn.
Race Week: when every tosser in the country descends upon Galway.

I think Galway wins in a comparison of the two cities for me, though not by half as long a way as it would have if you asked me the same question last year.
