    So quick! I remember that one from Zig and Zag... Could have sworn it was harder


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,207 ✭✭✭meditraitor


    I presume you meant 6 and included the zoo


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,942 ✭✭✭Danbo!


    Does phibsboro count though, because it is actually phibsborough.

    And damn! Portobello!

    Does Monto still exist outside the minds of the people in the north inner city?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 121 ✭✭gabigeist


    Amazing! Clearly Zig and Zag lied to me. Just goes to show that kids are stupid and will believe anything

    Marino
    Rialto
    Pimlico
    Portobello
    and....

    Yes Phibsboro. Who spells it the other way? Lets shake off our commonwealth yoke and become a meditteranean paradise.

    The Zoo is disqualified because I asked the question wrong and should have specified a "parish/townland or some such" and Skidoo is also ignored because I should have specified "Dublin city".

    Never realised Monto was a place and not a schoolboy fantasy. Used to have to sing it at assembly and we always assumed it was "take her up the monto" and not "take her up to monto". The juries still out

    Monto refers to Montgomery Street, now Foley Street.
