  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,744 ✭✭✭Pelvis


    I have lots of sympathy for people who can only get a house in Mullingar.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,075 ✭✭✭Shelga


    What if all your family and friends are there and you're not 'fortunate' enough to be a culchie?

    Tough ****. It sucks, but it also sucks for those who've to commute to Dublin every day of the week.

    Lol. I lived in Dublin. I have no desire to return.

    Ireland is a small country so if you drive I personally can't see living an hour or hour and a half from your family being a massive problem

    Dubs who think anywhere outside their county is like the wild west.

    I heard they eat their young outside of Dublin but spit them out because they taste like s h it. That's what you get for inbreeding muckers.

    I'm not trying to sell anything though. If you can't afford Dublin, move. It's that simple. It sucks, but that's the way it is.
    People are acting like Dublin its an inescapable island in the middle of some vast ocean.

    Less mouths to feeds, more homes for naive Dubs.

    What about an hour or an hour and a half to work? That's the real issue, it's where probably about 30-35 % of the people of Ireland are employed. Nobody wants to commute for 3 hours a day.

    Ah but if you leave Dublin you've more chance of having to talk to non dubs.

    I've got nothing. I'm not suggesting mullingar to be fair. I was suggesting any other county other than Dublin.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,162 ✭✭✭MadDog76


    Is "Mullingar" a real place??? :confused:

    I thought it was made up to facilitate American tourists like the whole Darby O'Gill and the Little People type stuff ....... :confused::confused:

    Seriously though, is it a real place or not? Does it actually exist??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭WoollyRedHat


    My opinion is if you have any hint of being from the country you should be deported from Dublin to Connacht.

    Boom...housing crisis like totes sorted goys.
