Says I to hersel abroad in the garden "sure if you were livin above in Dublin won't be horrible altogether with the nise and the smog and the drugs aren't we as well off down here with Mick and Tom and Paddy and the pigs and the thractors"

*hikes up trousers using baleing twine and leaves thread*

constitutionus · 16-11-2007 03:41PM

ah bollocks ,its falling on a saturday this year!

****ing town will be a nightmare and the traffics bad enough as it is now.

god damn culchies, only good for insecure farmers daughters

Pigman II · 16-11-2007 03:46PM

Along with the shopping I wonder will any of them be up here looking to "take a wife"? (where to I know not)

Jesus Wept · 16-11-2007 03:53PM

It's better to have them all up on one day than a constant stream of them.

Also, please have your passports and visas open and ready for inspection.

That is all.

Mr. Incognito · 16-11-2007 03:54PM

Coppers. Surely.

I find it ironic that the majority of the "dubs" on here are most likely 1st generation dubs whoose "culshie" parents moved into the city for work. Besides the real dubs can't read and write. Everyone knows that. I mean if we're going to badgering sterotypes lets get it accurate people.

Dublin is such a mystical place to me that even in three years in Maynooth I didn't go into town more than a handful of times.

poppy cock indeed.

Crappy Roads- Yes because the roads in Dublin use special concrete. Roads are the same. Only difference is less traffic so we get to use ours.

smells of cow sh*t,- That's called a farm. I think you'll find that clean air actually smells rather pleasant.

less amenities- depends on what you like to do. heroin use is defo curbed
slow internet- braodband roll out slow- granted.

1 night club, limited available social activities- depends on the town I guess but that's only a very limited number of really isolated towns. very few.

5 years behind on what's cool, :rolleyes: Oh please. mullets and pj's in the day- you can have it.

no international airport, shannon, cork, Kerry, sligo, galway.

no public transport- apart from the luas and dart- its the same.

chip on shoulder- other way round I think- this thread wasn't started by culshies slagging the dubs.

nearest shop and/or friend's house is miles away. - depends. I'm from Killarney so I pop next door.

limited social skills due living in a small town with other boggers- actually the oppisate. Better social network and community spirit. Unless- "come here and I'll ride ya" is your idea of a social contact.

less job opportunities- sadly true, that's why I have to live in Dublin.

If I misinterpeted your intention it was because you failed to clarify the above statement, it clearly links dubs to americans and then states five percent of those they are like have passports.
Seeing as you have only given two things which you see as qualities of american one must presume you are accusing the dubs of having the same qualities.

Perhaps you should learn to be more careful in what and how you type.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Pfft! I'm 14th generation dub. I'd be rich right now If my great, great something or other didn't love a catholic woman! (Also I wouldn't be here at all)

lisbon_lions · 16-11-2007 04:30PM

Whats the point in amenities when you dont have time to avail of them...

2+hour daily commute,
everyone in a foul mood,
cost of living,

v

up at dawn and a 1 hour surf before work
nice air and a scenic walk home after work
virtually no crime

no contest, so why am i still here? :mad: yup that thing called work !

Poppy Cock · 16-11-2007 04:35PM

Crappy Roads- Yes because the roads in Dublin use special concrete. Roads are the same. Only difference is less traffic so we get to use ours.

Country roads are narrow, windy, not lit, and full of potholes.

smells of cow sh*t,- That's called a farm. I think you'll find that clean air actually smells rather pleasant.

I live in Howth - I prefer the fresh sea air to cow sh*t, but thanks anyway.

less amenities- depends on what you like to do. heroin use is defo curbed
slow internet- braodband roll out slow- granted.

I was referring to bowling, karting, karaoke, gyms, concerts, supermarkets, cinemas, etc, etc, etc.

1 night club, limited available social activities- depends on the town I guess but that's only a very limited number of really isolated towns. very few.

Agreed.

5 years behind on what's cool, :rolleyes: Oh please. mullets and pj's in the day- you can have it.

Oh, you're referring to the knackers. I was referring to music & trends. In bogger nightclubs, they still play 'Saturday Night' by Whigfield, and they shout "Alice, Alice - who the f*ck is Alice?" while stomping their feet. I saw it firsthand in Waterford & Athlone this year alone.

no international airport, shannon, cork, Kerry, sligo, galway.

Air Araan doesn't count. I'm referring to non propellar flights. Besides Shannon (which is only still in business because of the government), all boggers must drive to Dublin or Belfast to go on Holidays.

no public transport- apart from the luas and dart- its the same.

So boggers have the equivalent of Dublin Bus: i.e. lots of routes & frequency?

chip on shoulder- other way round I think- this thread wasn't started by culshies slagging the dubs.

See "People's Republic of Cork" as a prime example of a chip.

nearest shop and/or friend's house is miles away. - depends. I'm from Killarney so I pop next door.

You're one of the lucky ones.

limited social skills due living in a small town with other boggers- actually the oppisate. Better social network and community spirit. Unless- "come here and I'll ride ya" is your idea of a social contact.

I have found culchies to be a bit slower, & more naive, than Dublin people. Thats from experience.

less job opportunities- sadly true, that's why I have to live in Dublin.

Agreed.

Toto Wolfcastle · 16-11-2007 04:37PM

Not all the culchies go to Dublin on the 8th, so the Dublin vs the rest of the country debate is pointless.

I grew up just outside Cork city and myself and my sister used to love going into town on the 8th to play 'spot the farmer'. Obviously some people from the country are the same as people from cities, but some of them are just so hilariously obvious.

I don't go into the city on the 8th anymore. I never actually bought anything because I pretty much usually had it all bought by then. We purely went in to laugh at people. And now that's not fun anymore because I'm all growed up.

I can't imagine not living a few minutes from a city. Even worse, I can't imagine not living near a cinema! And I hate country roads because I get travel sick. But of course I will have to live in the back of beyonds because I wont be able to afford a house near a city.

The 8th is great, we always got a day off school even though we didn't need it to go shopping. And this year I get the 10th off teaching for it. (Even though the school I teach in is about 5 minutes from Galway city, so there really is no need for the day off.) Keep it, I say.

I'd have to agree with the roads thing, oour roads are a joke but that's only because Dublin sucks up all the money "because culchies don't need good roads for they're tractors". Even with all the money in the world they still can't get it right. :rolleyes:

Lol, lord above haven't you heard it's hip to be square. :cool:

Have you ever actually been outside Dublin? Your probably thinking of slurry which is only spread at certain times of the year.

I was referring to bowling, karting, karaoke, gyms, concerts, supermarkets, cinemas, etc, etc, etc.

There's Karaoke every weekend in the pubs around here, it's not like you need a special hall to do it in. Either way Karaoke isn't something to be proud of. There's a gym ten minutes away, Fun loving criminals have played no more than 15 minutes away from me on more than one occasion the best thing is you've a good chance of running into the artist due to the small crowds.

Air Araan doesn't count. I'm referring to non propellar flights. Besides Shannon (which is only still in business because of the government), all boggers must drive to Dublin or Belfast to go on Holidays.

Even Knock airport has at least 3 airlines as far as I know, flying to the UK and Spain, Galway is the same as are all the rest I always assumed flying to different countries made an airport international, maybe I'm wrong.

So boggers have the equivalent of Dublin Bus: i.e. lots of routes & frequency?

Yes we just call it the bus though we don't need constant reminders of where we live.

I have found culchies to be a bit slower, & more naive, than Dublin people. Thats from experience.

:rolleyes: Dubliners don't usually cop that they're having the absolute piss ripped out of them whenever they come down the country they're so far up there own arse's. You'd believe all sorts of ****e it's unbelievable.

SheroN · 16-11-2007 04:58PM

You can fly to the states from knock airport.

So ye just have one bus and therefore call it 'the bus'. Fair enough.

We have a whole network of buses which we call 'Dublin Bus.' We call it Dublin Bus to distinguish it from other bus systems such as Bus Eireann, the AirCoach etc. and also from other transport routes such as the DART and the LUAS.

Buceph · 16-11-2007 05:22PM

Yeah, we generally call those ones the Aircoach, or Bus Eireann. And it's pretty bad to be getting a tram or a train mixed up with a bus.

The Pale: lot to be said for it, corralled all ye 'urban sophisticates' inside while the rest of us breathed a sigh of relief.

I have lived in London, Chicago, Melbourne, etc, I wouldn't live in or near Dublin if you doubled my salary, It's a dirty, traffic choked, violent city with pretensions of grandeur which is laughable when you compare it with the likes of Prague or Copenhagen,

Which makes the air of superiority that Dubliners affect,all the more bewildering. I'll let you into a little secret, us culchies are quite content to let you have it.

Off you go now and snigger into your overpriced pints, I have to go and drive the pigs out of the potato patch again.:rolleyes:

My god, I've never heard such sh!te in my life. Any of the farmers that I know who go to Dublin on the 8th would probably be able to teach the CEO of a multinational a thing or two about being good at business. There's a reason why most of them will have a wad of cash that would choke a fcuking horse. They are not slow. They just don't talk sh!te all the time about how close the local gym / karoke / kart centre / supermarket is. Talking crap doesn't make you look clever or sophisticated.

I think you're watching too much Killnaskully...

Yeah cos Dublin produces nothing! (sarc).

The rest of the bloody country is a drain. Maintaining roads to nowhere and so forth. The farmers don't even produce anything anymore, all they do is swallow up grants.

The ironing is delicious.

Anyway, enough of the playground mentality......we've better infrastructure, the country is cheaper, we've higher crime, they've no facilities, we've Brendan O'Carroll, They've Brendan O'Connor etc.

Everywhere has its +'s and -'s. GET THE F~CK OVER IT.

Edit: Working in McDonalds one Dec. 8th years ago and a big, grumpy plough-jockey comes in with approx. 16 kids in tow, all with a rake of Guiney's, Arnott's and Boyers' bags in hand.
