tbh, we dont want your sort anyway, it would bring down the tone of the area even more :P

someone the night clubs are crap - what bloody night clubs, i there are three late bars but no night clubs not since the bray head closed down.

oh the nights, i had in that place - actually probably better to forget them

i could murder a henry and rose now though

1, Greystones appears to be way better. Their beach is gorgeous and it has a nice villagey feel and appears less knackery. 2 - the McChurch is weird and bothers me.

Greystone is a horrible concrete town
the McChurch is in fact the McTown Hall, it never was a church

the worse Mc'D's in ireland btw

It's a point of personal pride that I can count on one hand the number of times I've been to Bray. I stole a car there once, I dropped a friend to their house, I inexplicably ended up there on a pointless road trip one dark dark night, I gave a speech at a conference in the Esplanade and I went through it on a bus to Glendalough.

Fixed (we are talking about Bray, here).

eh?????????????

bray is in wicklow ?

i am originally from bray it is very beautiful when you take away the junkies, tracksuits, 14 year single mothers and the dubs who migrate there during the summer months

but the porterhouse hails from bray, so thats not bad and bono drinks in the harbour

and the back strand is really sandy and lovely

but the swans can be really aggresive

hmm pizza and cream best pizza and ice cream in ireland

it used to have Escape but tom didnt pay his taxes and now its a nice italian restuarant but not as good as Escape

its a mixed bag really

knew you'd be in this thread.....what i didnt know is that you're FROM BRAY!! :eek::eek:

I LITERALLY hate Bray more than anywhere else on the entire planet(obv to most,war torn countries/famine floods/disease would be considered worse but for me they would be the lesser of two evils). Its strange I was actually thinking about this burning hatred the other day prior to seeing this thread.

Yeah bray head is a B&B AFAIK.

So does anyone actually like Bray or is it just another town that wishes it was in Dublin?

I like Bray. I'd happily live there.

I prefer Greystones though.

So what you meant to say was you're from Wicklow, the nice part, and that Brays urban sprawl has infested your once picturesque neighbourhood!

it's like everywhere, everywhere has bad and good places.

lol at someone who mentioned shankill, it's just as bad as bray tbh.

the good areas in bray would be southern cross/kilarney/kilmac area as IB pointed out/ardmore and down by the beach. the rest within reason is just ugh.

i'm down by the beach btw

i used to like it when i was a wain. Haven't been there since I was about 14 with my mates, which was 14 years ago or so, we climbed the hill and walked around the coast a bit and it was sunny and nice. The town was a kip at the time though. I remember drunk dublin knackers up for the day with their tops off and one of them with blood running from his head. I'm never going there again.

And that has to do with Bray how? This is the sh1t that winds me up. Most people hating Bray because of the Dublin knackers that come out and get pissed and fight.
IT'S NOT OUR FAULT!!! We're lovely we are

(Totally from Bray)

I know, it was meant to be ironic, but it doesn't work on the interweb thingy

Does anyone actually like Bray?
