should this be re-named the dublin after hours..

We should all gang up on Sligo instead for inflicting Westlife and Aine Chambers on us. It's time we made them earn their keep by renting the county out to the North Koreans for nuclear testing.

Whatever story suits to keep the sprawl on the East coast What's the name of that giant car park everyone pays to use up there? M50 isn't it?

What is it with Galway people and roads? Didn't the ****e Doctors sing about one?

Don't worry, once the Poles have gone home we'll start hiring culchies to build them again. There might be a problem with the language barrier at first but I'm sure you'll be fine

I didn't say anything about a road, it's a big car park yee have... Everyone sits in their cars in it for 4 hours everyday and pays Bertie for it cause he needs a dig out from his mates

Everyone? The whole city? New one on me.


Anyway, leave the roads out of this. What have the roads done. Post reported :rolleyes:

Actually, AH requires more moderation than any other forum.

PI needs more tbh.

Ah, nothing concrete. Just something that I noticed from reading newspaper in the morning. Could be way off the mark but it just seems that Galway has a disproportionate level of court cases involving sex offences. Must point out that I'm not stating this as fact as I have no figures but that's just what I noticed.

i think you'll find that's mostly dublin men getting the train to galway to rape something that isn't wearing pyjamas and hasn't got a baby hanging from one of it's huge hoopy earings.

I notice they bypass Carlow?

Ah, sure we don't have much to worry about.

They can only get one person on at a time on the county computer so at worst we're facing 31 users having a tantrum.

LOL!

Mind you it was an interesting discussion for a while, unfortunately is currently being flamed by a dyed-in-the-wool proto-retro-nationalist of some sort! :rolleyes:

I resemble that remark!!!
In my own defence what seemed at the time to be a good bit of craic turned into a separate topic in it's own right. So I took my topic and buggered off. My apologies if I spoiled the discussion.

WHAT????!!!!!!!

Hagar, you must have been half asleep typing that ... I wasn't talking about this thread or you ... I was referring to the thread you started in H&H as interesting, and you weren't the "dyed-in-the-wool proto-retro-nationalist" I was referring to.

Actually, I don't think that would be at all a fair description of you from what I've seen. Nor would I have described this thread as "interesting" ... light-hearted and silly and harmless, perhaps, but interesting would have been a bit OTT!

If that's all you see in Dublin then you are a blind man, my dear biko.

And everyone loves their own city, don't they?

But only Dubs get castigated for it.

Well, in fairness, sometimes 'tis impossible to resist winding ye up given the comments some people come out with! And I quite enjoy going into wellie-wearing sheep-shagging persona, going deadpan and winding like hell ... can be good craic!

But in all honesty, I have no problem whatsoever with threads in AH about bits of Trinity falling into Pearse Street, or things which might be of general interest ... the only ones which make me roll my eyes are the "where would I get a cheap pair of jeans in town?" ones, which don't fit in AH really anyway, regardless of the "in town" bit. And there seem to be fewer of those these days, or else the mods are just expunging them faster.

Biko can go a bit OTT on it tbh, but sure we all have our own little idiosyncracies!

Agreed, never quite saw the appeal of Galway. Too many crusties and sex offenders for my liking.

Wha'?! Crusties, maybe, but ...??? :eek: :rolleyes:

In all seriousness, no ... must just be a blip in the stats.

cue biko throwing a mickey fit, "is dat oconnell street in glengooley BAI???"

Or de culchies hate to admit that unless otherwise stated we can safely assume that we're talking about dublin

Yep, like people getting upset over the word "town". I hear "town" used as slang for dublin by many people from dublin or not. Most people I have met from outside dublin would call their own town or city "the town" or "the city", but many will call dublin "town", i.e. "I am going up to town this weekend, but going drinking in the town tonight."

I don't see what is wrong with being prejudiced, it is not a dirty word. If I see people in a church here I will presume most are catholics, big deal. If I am on international or US forums I will presume everybody thinks I am american, unless I state it, on UK forums they will presume I am in the UK. Big deal, doesnt bother me, it makes sense that they do. I would be more pissed off if everybody was overly PC and over-sensitive all the time. If I was living out of dublin and looking for something I would state it, seems some idiots are lying in wait to snap at people like pedants, all they are doing is wasting their own time.

The boy up in Dublin for a weekend who'll sit in a pub during Dublin game cheering on very loudly whoever the opposition is without having a breeze what's going on (at one point forgetting what county ist was he was cheering on). Thinking to himself how great am I surrounded by all these Jacks and cheering on Armagh/Kerry/whoever when in actuality he is just embarrassing himself and his obviously mortified quieter friend

I know a guy like that, but born in dublin, raised in dublin, lived in dublin all his life, yet claims to despise dublin and supports every other team just like that (both parents are from outside dublin but lived here all his life). He also uses phrases used normally to slag people outside dublin, to slag people from dublin, very odd, people who do not know him well haven't got a clue what is going on. It would be like a white redneck going into a local hick bar and calling all the local rednecks n*****s.

Has there ever been a poll to see how many boards members are living in or from dublin?
