    The pyjamas brigade.

    Hands down pants.
    Gangs of lads walking down the street like the opening credits of the Monkees tv show, only with their hands down their pants.

    No idea why a community centre is a sign of a rough area?!

    Alsatians roaming the streets, but only in pairs.

    if you see Horses tied up in a housing estate , leave sharpish.

    The local boozer has mesh covering the windows.
    Walls have broken glass and razor wire resting on top of them.
    There's a token neglected kid no older than 3 with muck on his hands and face and a big mother ****in gooey snot that runs from his nose into his mouth hanging around outside the shops while the mother is in buying 20 John Player blue in her pj's and the auld lad is across in the local bookies on a Thursday morning.

    A small, wide Jack Russell cross terrier, standing on a footpath staring at you, just daring you to say something to him.

    Bus stops without glass.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,569 ✭✭✭Special Circumstances


    Outside voice for indoors arguments, although indoors arguments are to be avoided if possible.
    A roaring & screeching match up and down the estate is the ideal way to blow off a little steam.
    At least one party must be wearing sleepwear for full marks.

    No knobs or hipsters wandering around.

    Shell-suit tracksuits and lads with 'Love' and 'Hat' tattooed on their fingers. They've lost one, obviously.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,239 ✭✭✭Jimbob1977


    Rubbish and broken glass strewn around the roads and footpaths.

    Boarded up and bricked up houses

    Lots of off-licences and bookmakers shops

    Boy racers and joyriders

    A general sense of malaise

    If there's an abandoned factory that catches fire on a regular basis and is filled with asbestos that has not and probably will never be dealt with.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,569 ✭✭✭Special Circumstances


    Standard size pens/pencils do not exist - just bookie/argos sized ones


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Neglected children outside without clothing to protect against the weather.

    Signs of serious drug addiction passed on from parents to children through example.

    Unemployable people who grew up in a situation where they aren't afforded the possibility of advancing in education, and adapting to middle-class conventions of behaviour.

    LOL at the poor!! #tensignsyouresociallydeprivedandknobsonlinelaughatyoutomakethemfeelbetteraboutthemselvesfromajoeiehackwhostoletheideafromacommentonthejournal.ie

    That could be very dangerous. If I were you, I'd laugh silently. Far safer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    when even the baskets have security tags in the local supermarket.

    Because councils dont spend money on community centers unless there is high incidents of Anti-Social Behaviour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,150 ✭✭✭✭Malari


    "No Water Meters" signs in the windows and on lampposts.
