I (not by my choice, its a college thing) live in Dublin and this thread shows my BIGGEST hate of living there. How many of you native Dubs have ever lived outside of the city? So many of you judge everyone else, but have absolutely no basis for it. Ive lived in four different counties, two of them cities and Dublin is not and never will be my number one choice. The quality of living, cost of living, nightlife etc is so much better in other parts. Its so sickening to listen to people slag you about being from somewhere, when they are *sometimes* completely uncultured themselves.

And back to the topic...Let people shop if they want to shop. Get over it! Its sad that you care so much.

I never actually mentioned anything about dublin being better but? Just goes to show how sensitive the spud gobblers are on the old inferiority issue.

Anyway I'm back in one piece, seems fairly quiet this year right enough, though i steered clear of henry street, t'would break me heart to see all the old dears from carlow etc weeping when they found out that Roches had been taken over be the brits.

I even ventured into Argos, which normally would attract so many muckahs you'd swear they were handing out headage grants. Two nice rural ladies behind me on dame street were ag leabhairt as gaelige, which was go deas

Ahh, isn't it cute....
that dubs all think that they're so sophisticated coming from the 'big city' and that everybody else is a bogger as they've not had the benefit of living somewhere as large and cosmopolitan as Dublin. Ah, bless em.

They will be lining the streets waving their little "Jackeen" flags welcoming us.

No, no, no, my fellow boggers. Oh the pride of going to Dublin. We are so lucky to be able to go there to inject a few extra bob into their thriving economy. I feel honoured to be able to go and see our superior folk in action.

Apparently the streets are full of diversity & multi cultural people. The roads are constantly blocked with things called road works & SUV thingy's.

Apparently you can go into restaurants & if you like the food the chef won't pee or spit into it...Imagine!!!!

If we are lucky, we might even see a shootout amongst people who argue over snow. (Why argue over snow I don't know, damn stuff is freezing, better than rain I suppose)

Pubs are supposed to be the berries, expensive I hear but well worth €5+ for a Guinness, if you are lucky the bartender will understand you. If you don't spend though they will chuck you out... Those poor landlords are just trying to make a living.

So, I for one am going to make an effort to support our elite class. I have polished my wellies (yes, the Dunlop Specials) & ironed my dungarees. I'm so humbled to be going... :rolleyes:

pretty-in-pink · 08-12-2007 04:30PM

I live here now...ha ha ha ha ha. I'm off to town soon. And please- Dub? A proper city? Not enough shops in town. Nope.

Helix · 08-12-2007 04:32PM

do as many culchies bother any more?

what with decent shopping being pretty much nationwide these days

pretty-in-pink · 08-12-2007 04:40PM

I doubt it....I'd be more worried about the potential surge in scumbags trying to rob people. And those guys with the white tracklegs, tucked into their socks, the really bad hair, the stink of lynx and cheap gold, and the pyjamma girls. Ugh.

Helix · 08-12-2007 04:41PM

aye tell me about it, i work on abbey st ffs

they should make it legal to kill those filth

nothing but a drain on the taxpayer

pretty-in-pink · 08-12-2007 04:43PM

Yup, they are dodgy out. Ugh, off to town now. I'll probably be on Abbey street. Must go present shopping. What shop are you in? I might come over and say hi!

Helix · 08-12-2007 04:45PM

dont work in a shop, civil servant all the way

condra · 08-12-2007 06:20PM

LMAO

Best thread ever.

Culchies, you tee us up and we'll hit them off.

So funny seeing the spud gobblers getting so hot under the collar.

To be honest if one of your great grandparents isn't a culchie, I'd be dead worried about being an inbred.

Sure everybody in Dublin is a selfish bastard who does nothing but shoot up heroin and rob people. Unforunately the fungal virus that is urban sprawl is growing and so is attacking my once moderately good town. Save yourselves.

The ones that aren't dubs are from islands, and islanders are a whole load different to bogsavages I'll have you know

Should make the thread feel more comfortable for all the muckers.

10 points for the best alternative to the word culchie....

Muck savages is good. I like spud gobblers too

Womoma am I right in thinking that you do not like people from outside Dublin?

Driver 8 · 08-12-2007 09:04PM

It's an unfair balance-

Dubs have to put up with "muck savages" for one day out of 365

The poor culchies that live close enough for Dublin yuppies to move there to have to be subjected to their superiority complex for the full year.

Have to say I laughed when I first read that term for us country-folk

But then I remembered my ex.....from Dublin (NS) and him travelling down here on the weekends, was, to him, a massive effort, jesus I thought he'd never shut up complaining about the train - which I'd never travel on myself, but he was a typical tight-wad Dub (I went by plane to Dublin when I was going up to him but he was too fecken tight to fork out an extra 20quid)

Anyways, he's the biggest f*cking spud gobbler I ever met, he loves the things, if there's not a massive pot of SPUDS on every day he isn't happy (even if he's the only one who wants the things) His family were so old-fashioned, he said they had potatoes every single day for dinner :rolleyes: I couldn't live like that, maybe it's a Dublin (North-side) thing....He also made a fool of me in a resaurant one day whilst ordering, no clue whatsoever, you can dress them up.....but you def can't bring them out...

He got a gorgeous meal (in a well-known, modern, and fantastic restaurant, whih I frequent - lovely food, service excellent) and because it didn't have a MOUNTAIN of "spuds" on the plate he thought he was being "done out of it" on the money front.....jesus, I had to get rid of him before he made a scene!! :rolleyes:

Just a thought.....maybe stick to "muck savages" for us instead of "spud gobblers" which is a term I'm sure the English use for all of us Irish (including the Dubs)

I always remember my mother telling me about going to Moore Street one day and getting some tomatoes. The woman on the stall tried to give her some that didn't look wonderful. When my mother pointed to the ones she wanted the stall holder gives here an earful, saying : "oooh, here we go now. The culchies are up to hand pick them".. That typifies the Dublin mentality for me.

No doubt, you in turn will pass on this tale to your children and then their children. Along with the time in '58 those bastard O'Driscolls ran their bullock through the family meadow below without so much as a by-your-lave. More bleedin' chips than Macaris some of you lot.

Yeah dublin is really metropolitian it would be considered a speck in an actual city like a actual capital like london in which I spent 8 years there so I know what I am on about

Oh and Dubs don't? Hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. This thread was started initially insulting people who are not from Dublin, so why shouldn't we react? Doesn't mean we have any sort of chips on our shoulders. I, for one, enjoy socialising and shopping in Dublin on rare occasions and have said, since I was a little girl, and still stand by it, that not in a million years, would I live/work in the kip (or especially raise a chld in it). You all give out about how many "culchies" live in Dublin, but have you noticed how many Dubs are moving to the "country" for a BETTER quality of life - *shock horror* I think yer all jealous because we don't have to have alarms on our houses, we don't have to shower twice a day to wash the cities grime off ourselves and we don't have to sit in gridlock traffic every day to make our way to work. We dont have to listen to sirens going off every 5 minutes because some junkie is after over-dosing. We don't have to pay outrageous prices/rent for horrible houses in horrible areas. The sooner Dubs realise and admit that they're actually far worse off in the quality of their life than us country-folk the better! Jealousy is a terrible thing! We breath fresh air, we don't have gridlock traffic on our way to work (I travel 6 miles to work in 7 minutes from drive-way to car-park) and yes, I sometimes travel across to Dublin to shop for a day or stay overnight and attend a concert or something, but it's a day out/weekend away and it's enjoyable because you don't have to look at the dive every day of your life. I breath a sigh of relief every time I leave the place, it's such a horrible stressed-out, stinking city eurgh. And good luck to all who descend on it's city-centre and/or shopping centres today (dubs and "culchies" alike) because it will be bedlam. believe it or not, we have 4 Dubs arrivig here in a couple of hours to get away from it for the weekend!!

What would you prefer?

Damn right! its so true.. ive been to dublin far toom much in the last year ot realise that i never want to live in the place.. life is so much better in the country. yes i like going to dubliun for the day or the night but i always let a big sigh of relief when i leave the place again!

It's times like these I love living where I do.

You see, I'm stuck in the middle.

I've access to Dublin bus and rail services, but I'm not actually in Dublin.

I really couldn't give a flying **** if you could fit 8 Dublins into London, but I think it's really petty when country folk (I'm from the suburbs. Blow me) throw a hissy fit when the dubs take the piss out of them.

I also laugh when the dubs get their backs up when Meath kick their ass (again) in Croke Park and everyone in the country laughs at the dubs.

On the down side, if I go into Dublin, I'm called a bogger. If I go anywhere else in the country, I'm called a dub.

I have to say though, the dubs are a much nicer crowd.

If I'm mistaken for a culchie, I get a gentle ribbing.
If I'm mistaken for a dub, I'm lucky to escape without getting a kicking.

Most of the culchies I've met really have a big chip on their shoulders when it comes to dubs.
I suggest you get over yourselves and your city-envy.

Is tomorrow "culchies descend on dublin" day?
