Just wondering what people think are the best things about being from Dublin??

My 2 favourite things about being a Dub are:

- not being a culchie
and
- being cool

I assure you, Cork most certainly does not rule. We sorted them out years ago. They are unwitting slaves, which is nice.

You can assume that every other Irish person is a Dub unless stated otherwise.

I must be getting the wrong bus because the only people who talk to strangers on the bus are junkies who piss themselves.

Oh I forgot two other things I love about being a dub..

1 - Being superior to culchies

2 - Winding culchies up, about being muck savages, boggers, etc.
Most enjoyable.:D

*i is not actually from dublin but using poetic license for the benefit of this post!

The best thing about actually being from Dublin? laughing at those who laugh at "culchies" yet they're first or at most second generation "dubs" laughing at the people that are their parents and grandparents. Deep insecurity I would say.

Boggers are everywhere, in city, town and village. They're not restricted to any postcode, ancestry or accent.

condra · 20-07-2008 12:02PM

Wow that sounded really patronising and conceited.
