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.

Get out more.

I see a nerve has been touched. In fairness drug dealer's reply was grand and to the point,:) while womoma's was irony of the very highest order. womoma are you actually serious when you typed that? Bleedin hell.

Being close to the airport so i can get out of the kip whenever i'm not working :pac::pac: Only reason i'm here is cos of work. We culchies can rob all the well paid jobs of the 80% unemployment rate of knackers!!! Allows you to stay at home with yore ma

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

In fairness, the tone of womomas OP was tongue in cheek to wind up culchies, while yours was "holier than thou".

What are the best things about living in a city like Dublin? Maybe its the non existant public transport, scummiest accent in the universe, highest skanger concentration in the universe, piss in every doorway on a weekend night, overpriced vomit pits like temple bar, the high fashion o’connell street, cultural highlights like jobstown and coolock, gangland drug wars.
Yea, living there would make me feel “cool” too.

JaneyMc · 20-07-2008 12:24PM

I love living in Dublin because if I decide that I want something from the shop at the ridiculous hour of the morning, its less than 5 mins away...
Getting really fed up with living in the city though, would not mind living further out for a while....
Anybody wanna swap???

It might not make you feel cool, but wherever you are from now, makes you sound bitter. Besides, its a city, every city in the world has it problems, like I'm sure you're own area does but probably on a smaller scale.

The traffic. Its great being fairly close to everything you need, but given the fact it can take ages to get there is a bit of a drawback.

Latchy · 20-07-2008 12:31PM

Being able to go back now and again and despite all the changes ,feeling like i never left

Your family can always get you drugs.
Your family can always get someone killed for you.

The best thing about being a Dub is going to Copper's to laugh at culchies.

·Saying the word 'bleedin' at least 700 times a day.
·Wanting to be, but not being, English.
·Laughing at all other Irish accents despite the fact that nobody anywhere on this planet can understand a word you say.
·Having several family members called Christy and Anto.

Having two different cultures that are equally as annoying.

Being better than people like this.

It's a tough life being a bitter culchie after all.

Lining the streets and waving the union jack to welcome our beloved monarch is jolly good fun.

The best thing must be the nice dependable routine of "deh dubs" winning a Leinster championship, flooding the radiowaves and print media with talk of back to back All Irelands, digging out the smelly Arnotts rag, taking lines of coke and generally behaving like total scum on the hill and after all that......being beaten by culchies from Kerry.

Warms the cockles of my heart every year to see "Jayo" et al. being shown up for the jokers they are.
