Pebble dashed walls on houses with little bits of broken mirror mixed in with the dash.
One house on a street with extravagant soffit and facia looking completely out of place.

No no no. Like those ghastly tracksuits, it says a lot about people. Cheap looking cards souped up with fake spoilers and would barely get to 120 mph.Loud ghastly jungle music to booth. Probably a death trap too.

No trees (Plenty of areas dont have them where i am from back home would be considered a very posh area and it has one Tree in the place).

Not posh enough so , without 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. (Handy to have the pub where i live now 10 mins up the road has all this and to be fair i can get a pizza, Some nice craft beer in the off licence, Then pick up a few things is the shop how bad)

Chances of getting craft beer in some of these off licences. Is Linden Village craft beer? Hardly able to afford a bottle them.

AAA / no water meter posters. (People Standing up to what they believe in fair play to them)

What would be fair to them? Sponging off the State , doing nothing and not paying their fair share, while Middle Ireland is squeezed for everything. They are entitled to nothing but contempt.

The estate is a "gardens" or named after a republican. (Thats quite a insult now to a lot of people just to do with the area there from)

It is a fact, most of these areas are kips. Locals are incapable of looking after their areas. Suppose, since they don't have mortgages , what would they care. No self respect

TrustedApple wrote: »

Abandoned furniture, cars and completely random things. (Thats everywhere in Ireland)

Most certainly is not "everywhere"

Every house has a satellite dish. (That's normal in my posh area back home every house has one as well. My mother and fathers has 2 one for Sky and one for my dads Italian TV)

They can't afford it, many are on welfare. Big difference

A Lidl / Aldi near by or dealz is the main shop on the high street. (Be handy if i lived by a Dealz i have a LIDL and is very handy to have as the food i hope you know the meet is some of the best you can buy in the country and it comes from the same place as your posh meet)

Keep telling yourself that.

Yep. I particularly like:

" The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice "

and

" To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
It's a big decision in a town called malice. "

F**king brilliant number though, isn't it?

I have " Days of Speed " right here, amongst my eighteen CD's this desk allows me to keep to hand.

Anyway, yeah; The night befores kebab splashed across the pavement. Always a heart warming sight.

TBH i've been on the dole for a grand total of 8 weeks of my life so I haven't a clue. I'd imagine some people collect it then depending on what letter their surname starts with but I could be wrong.

BCFE is down the road so Im sure they do a roaring trade on a thursday anyway.

'Ghastly' used twice in paragraph. Refers to electronic music as 'jungle music'?

Wow, good chippers. That'll do a lot for the house values:

Eau de curry chips

A good chipper doesn't do any great harm. One of the best chippers in Cork is located slap-bang in the middle of the decidedly comfortable, quiet, middle-of-the-road, middle-of-everything, two-Heiners-and-a-gin'n'ton-ton-there-chief, birds-shitting-on-the-Jaguar-again-the-dirty-little-mingers, suburb where I myself maintain my little swamp.

No, no, no. You're doing it wrong, we're bad mouthing so called "rough areas".

And I was one of those "volunteers", sad to work with kids who were written off based on their address

When everyone in the town or area look alike.(looking like all inbred)
Bouncy castles in gardens for darlings birthday parties.
Men and women wearing those tacky tank tops
Smoking on the street,parking in shop doorways
Shouting in the street
People wearing tattoos....yuck and tack
Men with earrings......soo tacky

Everywhere in Ireland,

Can you give a hint where this is ?

Well I tell you one thing people,

No matter how big your house is,
How recent your car is, or how big
your bank account is.

Our graves will always be the same,

Stay humble there folks...

Haha no hint
Another thing I do not like is men and women thinking it's okay to wear track suit bottoms into town like how gross is that and they normally do not even fit right
