    Can this thread morph into how do you know you live in hipstre land?
    Cos all of this was Stoneybatter but now we're surrounded by pubs with notions (cheesy Tuesday in walshes is not what it sounds like. A board with a selection of cheeses are given to each table in the pub. And don't get me started on mulligans.) and screaming Rents and bearded smug looking bastards.

    Tucking your tracksuit into your socks and walking with a pimp cane.

    Yeah, could someone tell me what that's about?

    I heard that it's a 'sign post' of sorts. So that buyers of certain commodities can easily locate the purveyors of said commodities.

    Kids hanging around when they should be in school.

    Battered cars from the 1990s parked outside the houses during working hours.

    Might be a stay at home parent while partner is away working.

    The Union Jack kerbs of Lisburn in the North is a big giveaway, a scary place. Like another poster mentioned, Stoner I think was the name, boarded up houses. This was always a giveaway for me when going through the East End of Glasgow, if you come to a housing scheme with loads of boarded up houses, burnt cars and coaches, you just don't venture into there. Special mention to Tuam and Limerick here, the Bus Eireann route going to and from Galway passes entire streets boarded up, looks dodgy as hell, why not put some nice art work on the boards at least it wouldn't look too ugly then.

    They made themselves very well known to the fire brigades the other night with all those bonfires.

    This too shall pass.

    When the teachers are far more afraid of the 'students' than the latter are of the former.

    Grand parents in their 30s.
    Skanger cars like 05 Nissan Almeras or Honda civics parked up
    No trees
    Local pub has no windows and is usually painted black / grey and is part of a shop complex that consists of a spar with a disproportionate off licence section selling predominantly cans, dominos pizza and paddy powers
    AAA / no water meter posters
    The estate is a "gardens" or named after a republican
    Abandoned furniture, cars and completely random things
    Every house has a satellite dish
    A Lidl / Aldi near by or dealz is the main shop on the high street
    Pie balled ponies grazing
    Ad hoc shops, usually in an old garage, selling huge quantities of toilet paper or washing powder
    Women are in fake juicy couture tracksuit, men are in matching track suits
    Everyone wears unfeasibly white runners
    A panel beating / car repair garage, usually it modifies cars as well.

    Forgot the fellas whizzing about on scrambler bikes, terrorising people on the paths and destroying the public green space. That seems to be where the craic is.

    If there is a perimeter wall next to a field, the other side of the wall is typically awash with old electrical appliances, cheap "leather" sofas and old baby car seats and or buggies, not to mention bags and bags of household waste.

    Glazers Out!

    Dead eye stare from gangs of 7 year olds hanging out on the footpath.

    Chomsky(2017) on the Republican party

    "Has there ever been an organisation in human history that is dedicated, with such commitment, to the destruction of organised human life on Earth?"
