    I don't live in Dublin nor have I ever. I may be in the next couple of years however. Rent aside, is Dublin more expensive than any other city in the country?

    The price of 6 doughnuts in tescos rathfarnham and tullamore is 99c.

    However , rent on a four bed beside either tescos differs by 1000.

    Ah, you said rent aside, so a cheeseburger in rathfarnham and tullamore is 2.40....

    It cost me €75 to see Munster get their arses handed to them in Dublin on Saturday. The same result would have been €30 less here in Limerick :mad: :pac:

    Get a truckload of instant noodles (none of that high fallutin pot noodle nonsense, I'm talking Tesco 5 cent noodles), get a job, work 50 hours a week then hand your wages over to the landlord, who will then hand it over to the bank, who will then hand it over to the reptile king that lives in that hole there.

    Meanwhile, watch your body slowly begin to starch stiff, turning beige and noodly, while your sanity sinks into a cheap half-pint in some over-priced kip in temple bar.

    Do this for 15 odd years, then go the whole hog and trade decades more of your life away for a mortgage ("Death Grip" in the original French) to continue doing the same thing.

    Or....think outside the box, don't do what every one else is doing, and don't buy into the scam :P

    You mean 2 Chinese fingers, 1 quart of rat faeces, the nostril hair of 17 impoverished Indians, and a squirt of tobacco perfume rolled up in baboon skin.

    Pretty dear, considering.

    In most countries the capital city is the biggest and most expensive.

    It's one of life's unsolved mysteries.

    Not if you live underground it's not. Plus the great thing about that is you beat the rush hoir, because you travel under the traffic.

    Yes, in a massive shock, the capital and most congested city in the country is the most expensive. No other capital city on the entire planet is similar. Economists are baffled. We'll all die without understanding why, so save yourself a life of misery and stop worrying about it now.
