We're like dogs us knack's we smell fear, we smell little nerdie boards, D4, boat shoe wearing little girls for miles and it's this little girly look which will engadge the youngest of scumbag's as even he is amused why such a well educated "man" from a good honest middle class background loses the ability to speak when confronted with....dun dun dun....a kid with a flat top and a cheap tracksuit.......posh people, you're funny!

pussies.

Castlepark in Galway or the end stretches of Dominic street late at night.

Dominick Street? Are you serious?

That's no more dangerous than any other part of Galway late at night. And believe me I've wandered all over Galway late at night. Only place I ever had trouble was Eyre Square and it never stopped me going back.

Can't think of anywhere i dublin i wouldn't walk, except into finglas at night, but other than that, nope.

Doubt you know it that well. All of east finglas is pretty much fine, few people drunk in The Bottom of the Hill but that's about it. Some of West and south Finglas is dodgy but it's mostly Mulhuddart and Corduff that are a bit dodgy. No garda stations there though so much easier to say an incident happened in Finglas even if it didn't

xabi is actually the dog from 'The Littlest Hobo', living out his retirement in a little house in Kenmare with his common-law wife Snuffalufagus from Sesame St, whom he married after a whirlwind 1980s romance.

As such, he has lived everywhere and is all-knowing.

There's a voice that keeps on calling me
Down the road is where I'll always be
Every stop I make, I'll make a new friend
Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again.

Ah, the memories.

monkeyfudge · 03-07-2007 04:06PM

Can't say I allow myself to be intimidated anywhere in Ireland... May not be so comfortable up North though.... but I rarely find myself up there.

I've walked through favelas in Brazil in the past, so it sort of puts things in perspective.

I don't like being in Rathdrum after night fall though... scary stuff... brrrr....

Guess it's all about vibe, Barracks Street isn't bad at all, I practically grew up on it (my grandparents & family owned a few houses there), never had an issue at all. I always felt grand around there, it's down around Patricks Street and Washington Street at 2 in the morning on a busy night I think is dodgey Or that street Mangans (mongs among mingers) is on. Is there ever a quiet night down there?

yup, live not far from there and nowadays its not bad at all. in fact, its after getting very studenty. theres new new student apartments there, plus pubs like nancys, tom barrys, gateway etc which would be frequented by generally upstanding individuals!

Barrack Street can get a bit lonely and eerie very late at night though - as can anywhere I know, but there's something particularly gloomy about that particular street. The lack of decent lighting I suppose. I remember coming out of Tom Barry's and walking up to Sky Cabs on my own - ****ting it I was.
Patrick Street late at night = rough, yes.
Washington Street? Well, if you consider Reardens heads rough!

Mangans is on Careys Lane, but isn't Mangans itself gone? If so, immediate improvement. Or has it just been replaced by another skanger establishment?

I'd would be comming up from glasnevin (by the cemetary) towards the 24hour tesco, which was never the most pleasant of areas whenever i passed through. Maybe i caught the god-fearing, law abiding locals in a moment of madness, who knows.

Duiske · 03-07-2007 04:09PM

I worked as a courier in Dublin for 3 years, and the worst daytime area I have come across is the christchurch area (patrick st/nicholas St/bride road). Couple of years ago, so maybe things have changed.

I was in Rathdrum once - 1990. Now that may seem like the Dark Ages to some Boardsters, but it's actually the modern era.
A scary place indeed. Much cousin-marrying, methinks.

I was clearly using the phrase in the colloquial, idiomatic, vernacular sense, not the literal. Your ignorance truly knows no bounds.

John Boorman who directed Deliverance lives near there too... I wonder where he got his influences from?

I remember I walked down that canal near the overhead Luas line and saw a cordoned off area with a body on the pavement:eek:

Pighead would never ever dare venture down coolsmileygirls street.

Word on the street is its a black hole for men with working and usable todgers. Many brave men have gone down that road never ever to return.

maybe it was the fact that there was no street lights coupled with the very few people bar the occassional drunk it was the only place i can ever recall being that freaked out

haha I get your point about Washington street, perhaps its the side streets or people coming off the parade, but I've seen quite a few people with their heads bashed in around there.

With regards to Barracks Street, I kind of like the lighting there, it's cozy! It'd probably look like a **** hole (more so?) if it was well lit.

On a side note, I'm avidly against all this needless introduction of high power street lights going in along backroads. Ruined the nice scenic areas of Ballincollig at night it has.
