Things you expect to see in the big smoke (Dublin) and other major cities in Ireland.

Civilization.

Pedestrian crossings that speak to you.

Newsagents that do not.

Just to even things up between the country folk and city slikers what things do you expect to see in the big smoke and other major cities in Ireland ? Scumbags, traffic jams, quality hookers, bus queues, ATM machine queues, lost country people, pipe laying

Quality hookers? :eek: I think you must be misinformed. If there are indeed any hookers in Irish cities I'd guess they're not exactly quality. No high class escorts here I'm afraid!

burned out cars, bareback horse riding, fights outside abbra kebabra, pissed nurses and guards in coppers

I take it alcohol, cars, public transport, homelessness, hard drugs, obesity, democracy, roads and snow havent arrived in rural Ireland yet

Alcohol:Yes. People falling all over the streets because of it?Generally, no ( mainly because the streets aren't out in the country :P)

Cars: yes, traffic jams: not unless theres a tractor or a bad accident.

Public ransport: NO

Homelessness: Homeless people tend to stay in cities.

Hard Drugs: In towns yes, out in the country no.

Obesity: If there is a macdonalds nearby!!!

Democracy: yes, but the government dont spend any time out in the country.

Roads: Poor ones.

Snow: When an inch of snow falls in the country, it isnt mentioned in the news or the traffic reports and the whole place doesnt come to a standstill. In the city it does.
