I used to think dublin was massive until I lived in a few other city's abroad and visited many more. It's just a village really.

A trainee primary teacher from, Atrane I believe, on doing her work placement outside the Pale near here (some family connection got her the stint) a few years back commented on how great one of the local farmers was every evening that he was able to bring all the cows for a walk at the same time.

Ok, for the benefit of the bleeeeeedin jackeeens here; he wasn't bringing them all for a walk, every evening the herd of cows would be brought to the milking parlour on the farm and by some amazing wizardry the cows milk gets from there to the local Centra. I'm sure there's probably a video of it somewhee on youtube but I've to get off the puter now cos me pop wants to use the phone!!

The title of the thread is misleading.

When do you ever work with us?

You work for us, if you've ever worked at all, you dreadful, scrounging, uneducated, drug-addled, greasy 'tach wearing wretches.

Also, shut up with the cockney rhyming slang.

I find city folk to show a bit more empathy and feelings for others.

Country folk will sneer, laugh at and mock the deadly social issues of others such as addiction, homelessness etc..

City folk are more welcoming and tend to have a bit more compassion and feeling. They’d be sympathetic, not mocking towards country fellows deadly social issues like mental health, familiacide and suicide.

It’s very well reflected on this thread.

When the king of England visited dublin all the dubs came out waving their union jacks, hence Jackeens

Yet when the current queen of England showed up, they had to keep the Dubs away from her behind barriers and closed off streets, but she had an oul walkabout in Cork.

As for "boggers", most "Dubs" are a generation or two away from rural living so…

Funnily enough, I find the opposite. I find Dublin an unfriendly place, with lots of ignorant f*ckers who only think of themselves. Maybe the same as any other place? The "witty Dub-al-in char-um" is anything but.

It's an overpriced dirty place, and it is certainly over rated. I don't know if the same can be said about the Dubs.

It’s the third friendliest city in the world according to Condé Nast Seachto, and I’d agree with the survey taken by 128,000 readers rather than your charmless ineloquent, view.

It’s clean, I’m in the city centre every Saturday morning with my young son iif I’m not travelling around the rest of the country and you won’t get cheaper food anywhere else in the country.

You're obviously ignorant when it comes to your capital. PM me for any advice on good clean places to visit or go to the Dublin forum.

That's because Cork people see themselves above Royalty, we afforded her a walk on the Grand Parade, it's not a great parade, just a grand one.

Lots of "surveys" say we have a great quality of life in Ireland too, but don't get sick here whatever you do and end up in an Irish hospital!!

You know what you don’t find in Dublin, and in Ireland in general? Squares to sit in. Like an Italian piazza for example. We don’t have them. It’s also hard enough sometimes to find a café open late at night in Dublin. I don’t find it cheap. It’s ok I suppose. Too many scumbags around though, and “the Dubs” have a cheek to have slagged off Limerick in the past, a small city many times safer than Dublin. Rents in Dublin are a joke for what you’re getting and every youngfella has a George Michael quiff. &#55357;&#56842;

Only for boggers have no choice but to come to Dublin, I'd say many would prefer to stay at home.

Getting off topic, but no problem working with boggers as I am one. Dubs are fine too.

Dublin is, and always has been, the main determining factor in Ireland becoming a modern, progressive society. It's easy to point out the flaws, and there are many, but Ireland is still an Island backwater without Dublin.

When last were you in Dublin?????

St. Stephen’s Green.
Opened in 1880, St. Stephen’s Green is perhaps Dublin’s most well-known Georgian square.

Mounty Square.
Planned and developed in the late 18th century by Luke Gardiner, the 1st Viscount Mountjoy, Mountjoy Square was once Dublin’s most prestigious Georgian square.

Parnell Square.
Perched at the end of O’ Connell Street, Dublin’s main thoroughfare, Parnell Square is the oldest Georgian square in the city.

Merrion Square.
One of the best surviving Georgian Squares in Dublin, Merrion Square’s architecture has remained unchanged for 200 years. Most notably the west side of the square has the Natural History Museum, the National Gallery and Leinster House.

Fitzwilliam Square.
Only a stone's throw south of Merrion Square, Fitzwilliam Square is the smallest and the last of the last of the five Dublin Georgian squares to be completed.

Temple Bar Square.
The heart and soul of Dublin’s historical and cultural activities, Temple Bar Square is a spot popular with tourists. The area is a historical hodgepodge as it was once a medieval suburb that was redeveloped in the 1600’s for British families and then again in the late 20th century to become the vibrant spot in the city filled with pubs and restaurants.

Meeting House Square
Just around the corner from Temple Bar Square hidden down a small walkway is the much more contemporary Meeting House Square. It is Dublin’s newest square, only opening in 2011.

Mayor Square.
Located in the IFSC, Ireland’s financial epicentre, Mayor Square is another square that shows off a more cutting-edge side to the city. Surrounded by Dublin’s modern architectural additions including the Samuel Beckett Bridge, IFSC House and the Convention Centre

Grand Canal Dock.
Nicknamed Silicon Docks, Grand Canal Dock is fast becoming one of the trendiest squares in Dublin. Home to tech companies such as Facebook, Google and Airbnb.

Smithfield Square.
Cafés, Restaurants, Bars and Entertainment in the heart of Dublin 7.

True, but it’s not so much a square is it. But yeah, it’s ok there.

Haven’t been down that way yet, but I’ll take your word it’s not scobe infested

You're exaggerating the scumbag thing and judging by your misinformed comments it looks very like you've never been in any of them. Sure a few minutes ago you weren't aware of ANY squares in Dublin!! Spoofer.

Dublin's squares are perfectly safe, the families that utilise them are a fine mix of foreign, local, rural and city folk, they may be the wrong colour or profile for you. But the city welcomes them.

Dublin is in a far better position than many European cities. Firstly, it attracts the brightest and best, and the most creative minds from elsewhere in the country as there is no other real competition. Secondly, due to Ireland being English speaking, Dublin is incredibly diverse in the range of nationalities it attracts, and by extension is a huge hit with US companies.

Squares in the classic sense, or the continental sense, where you can sit and read a book or paper. A piazza/plaza. We have "squares" but not in the continental sense. Would you really sit in a square in Temple Bar to relax? ffs.
I never referred to colour, or nationalities, so don't accuse me of something I didn't say.

It might not be better than Dublin, but Berlin puts Dublin to shame in my opinion. Maybe the craic is better here though.

We don't have those type of squares for one simple reason, we don't have the bleeding weather!! It's not rocket science.

Is exactly what you said and if you had a clue you'd know it’s common to see a lot more Philipeeno, African, Eastern European, South American families than Irish families in certain parks and squares in the city.

Similarly some squares in Dublin will have more tourists than locals. And, again, some squares will have more non-national workers than natives drinking coffee, wine, eating late in to summers nights.

You don’t know this cause you haven’t a notion what your talking about and haven’t a clue about your capital, so give up the barstool bull and troll elsewhere.
