To bring up some really crappy jokes but hey...

Ever wonder why they built the airport on the northside? To encourage them to leave.

TimTim,

dublin airport is on the northside for a very good reason, as its the 1st port of call for any tourist coming into the capital,

and hey we must be doing somthing right i just heard tourists are on the increase in the capital ( Dont know the stats )

If they ( Tourists ) came in ur end of the liffey they'd be leaving speaking verbal crap that u people speak.

Like its that getting through roysh, roysh like roysh like roysh like roysh like roysh like roysh like roysh like roysh like roysh like roysh like roysh like
roysh like roysh like roysh like roysh like roysh like roysh like
roysh like roysh like roysh like roysh like

For those luck few who do know how to speak roysh means Right.

Ironically the President lives on the Northside but has a southside postcode, Dublin 8, so she's trying to pass herself off as a southsider!

Dublin Airport is on the northside because the northside has a surplus amount of garbage dumps and abondoned land.

I wonder where Ikea is going?

(Why am I saying this?! I'm a northsider!

And the M50 brings them to the south side, what's your point? Also, Grafton Street is South Side but Arnotts is North Side (great shop for running gear). No difference

You're bloody right, you settled it before you wrote the post when you titled it:"Im settleing this one and for all!!!!!!!!!" shows northsiders have a distinct lack of good education. :rolleyes:

Northside also has the Luas (the red line), before it crosses the river and heads towards Tallaght
However, most of the incidents of the Luas trams crashing into cars that have attempted to drive through red lights have happened on this stretch which is on the northside. So maybe northsiders also cannot drive properly.

Anyway, this is a crappy attempt to settle the debate 'once and for all'.

northside only has red luas from connolly to museam (15min walk), so seems a bit pointless...red line is kinda bad though...green line is a lot better, runs more frequently/ faster

i love the luas because you can stay for an extra pint in town and catch the last luas at 12.45 on a friday

The Northside has far more scumbags.
The Southside has more trust fund ****.
Everywhere outside the pale has less of either.
