    I work in Tallaght and there are FAR FAR worse places.

    Yes it was bad 10 years ago, but i'd feel quite safe walking about at night now.

    Problem is the bad name is still there many years after.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 86 ✭✭Gick


    why the hell do you guys want to lock this thread,if you don't like the thread no-one's forcing you to read it,now stop trying to ruin it for everyone else.Back on topic I hadn't noticed Tallaght changing at all during the last ten years I think other areas are just starting to get back aswell and are making Tallaght not stand out,look how hard the Perrystown and Orwell chaps think they are thse days


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Yeah, gotta love Orwell-heads tryin to seem tough, lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 86 ✭✭Gick


    they're havin a war with Perrystown at the moment,tryin to out-schmad each other..throw some of them into Ballymun,see how they cope


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,720 ✭✭✭Hal1


    Ok, so tallaght might have matured and grown in recent years regarding, infrastructure, business, hospitals and hotels, but the name the place has still lingers on like in alot of other areas too. Alot of this imo opinion comes down to people living there (and I am not just having a rant at tallaght, other areas too, but its tallaght this time round :p) Lets just hope future generations will learn to better themselves and not resort themselves to violence and other criminal activities made in these disadvantaged areas.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 86 ✭✭Gick


    nah future generations of areas like Jobstown won't be any better than previous,you hardly think the sons of knackers will be geniuses do you

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,989 ✭✭✭✭Giblet


    And why is that? I'm from Tallaght, are you going to start stereotyping me now? Idiots.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    It's just one troll really - this 'Gick' plank seems to be trying (and failing miserably) to create a middle-class snob persona for himself. The fact that he can barely string two coherent words together kind of defeats the purpose though. I predict a swift banning.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 86 ✭✭Gick


    okay,your calling me a plank,yet you wrote ''without kind of''surely you meant to say I can't ''string two coherent words together'' without making a mistake?but then again you are from Tallaght so maybe you're just an idiot,and as for me TRYING to create a MIDDLE-class persona,I live in a big house in Terenure and my shoes probably cost more than your whole wardrobe,so I don't need to try,I'm upper class and you're jealous *edit-that guy's changed his post now,but he had made a stupid mistake in his grammar while slagging me for my vocab,oh these Tallabans


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 541 ✭✭✭chern0byl


    Not from Tallaght myself, but have lived there for a few years now. Even in that short time it has improved slightly. Lots of development etc. There are certainly areas which are rough..extremely rough.

    I live in Deselby which is very quite but we are right against Kiltalown which is not a "no go" area but does have huge problems.

    Tallaght will always have rough areas and an even rougher reputation.

    Your trolling is terrible and what is with all the pointless punctuation. There is no ruling class in Ireland, so there isn't really an upper-class either. No-one is jealous of your blatant idiocy. Of course it's to be expected from someone who regards "wardrobe" as an important issue in society. I think Paris Hilton has the same mind set. What's your lineage or career that makes you think you're upperclass!?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 86 ✭✭Gick


    Well I'm a pupil who gets good grades and I live in a big house in a nice area and am loaded with money,wardrobe's are important,If I went out around here wearing a burberry cap and a tracksuit and cheap jewellery I would get insulted no-end


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,989 ✭✭✭✭Giblet


    I guess you don't own the house, or have a job. So you're not independant and you don't really contribute to society. How does this make you upper class? Good grades are respectable though, so continue on, maybe you will learn a bit more about your surroundings aswell. I myself have a 4.0 GPA (95% avg) on my course so I respect people who have worked or work as hard as I do. To stereotype people from Tallaght is ridiculous as I'm a student of Tallaght I.T (my first choice, they follow the course structure I prefer) and know lots of people who well educated despite of their backgrounds. I moved away from Tallaght a long time ago but I don't hold any resent for anyone there even though I didn't really like it there.

    Living in an upper class area and living an upper class lifestyle=upper class.Just because you say I'm not changes nothing,can't blame you for not liking Tallaght though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,989 ✭✭✭✭Giblet


    Terenure is a middle class area, and unless you have serfs and wenches you most likely aren't living the upperclass lifestyle. That class structure is confined to history. It's not about income or how big your house is. Upper middle class is probably the best you could hope for, unless you have a long lineage of land owners who were worth millions. My family would be considered upper-middle class depending on which model you follow, and that's with having a number of self made professionals. The average blue collar worker would be classed as upper proletarians according to some structures!!! Even Bill Gates is lower-upper class!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 86 ✭✭Gick


    does owning over 100 acres of land and a house in Spain not qualify me as upperclass?that's what everyone's expected to have is it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,989 ✭✭✭✭Giblet


    Why do I get the feeling you are lying :rolleyes:

    I doubt you'd living in Terenure and going to the local school.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 86 ✭✭Gick


    fine,I'm not going to get into an argument about this in a thread about Tallaght,if you went to my school,you'd know I'm not lying.For all I know you could be a millionaire but seeing as you stick up for the Tallaban I'm assuming you're not.anway to conclude Tallaght=scumhole,that's my opinion,and your not going to change it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,989 ✭✭✭✭Giblet


    Childish shortsighted troll, I'm glad you won't get far. And as for assuming anything about me, go ahead, but you'll be wrong.

    Gick's got alota spunk, he's learnt to stick his ground...too many slip ups in the shower teaches you that lesson...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 227 ✭✭ADO


    Gick, i have a few questions for you,

    1, Is that you in that picture with the terenure jersey on?
    2, You Live in terenure?
    3, why are u so "proud" about being from terenure?
    4, what have u against tallaght?
    5, 100achres of land?(impossible!) which i assume is in terenure as u live there (btw terenure college is about 40-45 achres so?...)
    6,what do u want to be when you are older?
    7, What have u against tallaght?

    you think it is a scumhole but you only think that because you are "protected" by daddy and he prob pay's for everything for you! and you brag about your shoes being worth more then someone's wardrobe? well let me tell you something, I hope you never have trouble with money when you are old, i hope you have a lovely family and you can put food on the table to feed your kids,i hope you can pay all your doctors bills, and keep a steady job because "kid", you have ALOT to learn before you grow up! its a big bad world out there and if u keep frowning down onto people then some day your gonna realise that daddy did take good care of me and i havent a clue what to do now.

    But your opinion on tallaght is your own opinion, i just hope you dont say it to the wrong person some day and they hurt you really bad, you know alot of people around the area's are getting shot and stabbed and even killed over stupid things, you really should b careful about this Gick, like your tellin us u "do" live in Terenure and its possible its u in that photo. just be careful "kid".

    Btw this is no form of a treath its just a word of advice of what "does" happen in society now a day, there are sick people out there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 140 ✭✭zinc


    I'm from Tallaght, its an alright place, theres nicer but not too much trouble.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,405 ✭✭✭KillerShamrock


    Gick's got alota spunk, he's learnt to stick his ground...too many slip ups in the shower teaches you that lesson...

    good one, he sure sounds like hes dropped the soap too many times.

    Now, Gick wtf is your major malfunction take your head out of your arse and look around the world aint like that no more.
    Stop tryin to give your self an upper class presona in a thread titled TALLAGHT. Make your own thread and call it somethin like 'Im Gick im tryin to give myself a presona on boards what do you think of me now'

    As for this thing you have against Tallaght yes it has bad areas and it has GOOD (yes i said GOOD) areas, been living here all my life and seen the best of both. Every where is the same fromm tallaght to kiliney to foxrock u name it.

    I also went to a private school in Rathgar. So i have had my fare share of a**holes like U who have ended up no where in life cause they relied on their mammys and daddys and where they came from to get them somewhere. No 1 outside of where u come from, cares about where u come from.

    Ive rambled on enough now. if your not going to say something constuctive about tallaght your on the wrong thread, either start your own or stfu


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 219 ✭✭air_vent


    In some places in Trinity arts block I get the whole stop and look at me with disgust when they ask where you from and I say proudly I may add Tallaght some of the TCD arts girls ( D4 slags some blokes are even worse laugh in your face then but there are ways to get them back !!!) wouldnt even look at you and they walk of in disgust feeling dirty I bet with their louis vitton bags that daddy bought or I just had 500euro to spend so why not type of sh ite ( thats another rant altogether!!!!!!!!)

    Tallaght has some crap holes just get on a 77 one night and youll know all about it, that Gink chap would get eaten alive if he open his mouth. the problem is the slags having kids at 11 and not riasing them, or raising them to be mental, and the high concentration of all our good buggies the travelling folk.

    You have got to realise that Tallaghfornia is bigger than limerick city, population wise that concentration of people has its problems with the scumbag mentality its a tough job keeping the place like the utopia everybody wants.

    Some place are grand few idiots around like everywhere else but they can be dealt with. You can give out all you want but every area has a drug dealer!!! Just a fact of life nowadays.

    My part of tallaght is getting a bit iffy to many kids with nothing to do all day (mind you thats no excuse for robing a car or getting binned on e ) just somthing should be done to stop the slut parents or the idiot ones who cant bring up a kid cause thats where the problem lays!!!
    I do feel that a mass culling of some of the pure filth of all areas wouldnt be so bad, realty nasty folk to clean the country up a little

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 86 ✭✭Gick

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 227 ✭✭ADO


    7.fool it's the same question as no.4

    I was insulted by you when u decided to call me a "fool". You call me a food eh? You dont even know who u are talking to so be very carful kid. I could be the smartest person in ireland or a complete thick, thankfully im neither but im no fool. so i would appriciate it if u said sorry for insulting my intelligence.

    Not really, he stated he's not from Tallaght but hope's someone from Tallaght kicks the head off you.

    Oh and Terenure is NOT an "upper class" area(though "upper class", as Giblet put it, is confined to history in this country), like the majority of areas in Dublin, it has it's nice parts and it's not so nice parts.
    Sure drive by the side entrance to Terenure college any night of the week and have a look at the field across from it, you'll see people sitting in that field drinking cans, fighting and doing drugs - you call that upper class?Don't think so somehow.
    Also wasn't there a huge cocaine factory found in terenure not so long ago?If it were an "upper class" area I don't think you'd have english fugitives living there and processing wild amounts of cocaine.
    Some parts may be considered "middle" class but that's only a select few.

    You talk about being loaded with money and having 100 acres of land and a house in spain?You're 17, I very much doubt you've a single asset to your name(financial or otherwise), if anything it's your parents who have the money and land/property though I personally think you're lying through your ass.
    So you're just a normal 17 year old guy in 5th year who depends on his parents for cash, nothing "upper class" about that, I'm sure everyone at that age did it,I sure as hell did and don't consider myself "upper class" for doing so.

    Now I'm not a huge fan of Tallaght myself, but I'm sure as hell not ignorant enough to say that I hate everyone from Tallaght because everyone who lives there are knackers,sure enough I know people from Tallaght that I would consider knackers but I also know some people living there that i'd consider the opposite.Infact, I know some people who live in Tallaght and went to Terenure college, so now you're saying that your in a school with knackers?Thats not very "upper class" now is it.

    There's nothing "upper class" about you.

    You are by far the most annoying troll I've come across on boards and am in shock that I'm actually here "feeding the troll". :(

    Has anyones opinion of Tallaght changed by viewing this thread, or just reinforced?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 86 ✭✭Gick


    can someone please give me the definition of ''troll''?obviously it's my parents who own the land and no Ado I didn't call you a ''food''

    Neither, the only view which has been reinforced is the fact that gick is a troll.

    A troll being someone who deliberatly tries to annoy people to provoke a reaction. Although his type of trolling has been done to death by other users. I just get off at shouting them down, it's a hobby of mine. Especially if they show a lack of intelligence like our pal gick here.
