They weren't racist, they may have been racially motivated jokes though. This thread is motivated by your need to stir shit, along with many of your other posts and threads.

You seem to hate Ireland to such an extent that instead of leaving it you're compelled to stay and let everyone else know how bad you think it is.

:mad:

Id take jackeens over wideboyz anyday. More stuff to do in London and its more metropolitan, but not the friendliest of people.

You must be from the southside.

I like Dublin...but so much of it is **** and even the good parts aren't that great. And the public transport in London is incredible

How can anyone possibly vote for Dublin?

Maybe they've never been to London.

I'm a Dubliner; I've lived in Dublin all of my life (apart for a two year stint in London). I like Dublin, but seriously, it's apples and oranges. London is by far the better city on pretty much any metric.
Its unfair to try and compare them really.

Dublin is more of a big town than a city.

might have to move to London soon, I do like it there though. It's not on the sea like Dublin and you can't go to Howth or Killiney or to the beach or go fishing on boats etc like you can do here. We all know culchies hate Dublin and there's a lot of self-loathing Dubs too but I think Dublin is a great friendly city and if I do go to London I'd definitely rather grow old here, eventually.

London is very similar to Dublin in many areas. The only real difference to me is that London is bigger. In fact on these islands they are the two most similar cities..

lol dublin and london are not similiar at all, had you said dublin and cork maybe but dublin and london

babyfratelli_x

London definately. Only been once, but loved it and would live there rather than Dublin any day.

Obviously there are nice and not so nice parts in both, but London has class transport system and so much more to do and see. love it!

Monday to Friday London wins hands down. Saturday and Sunday, Dublin wins.

For me London is a brilliant place to work, Dublin is a brilliant place to live.

....except at the weekends when a lot of the Tube shuts down for 'upgrades'.

At least the Rail Replacement buses tend to be quite frequent though.

London is one of the worlds great cities, like NY or Paris and a fantastic place to visit and a place you could spent umpteen years getting to know. It's also the type of place you could get lost in anonymity if that's your thing.
But I think Dublin would have a more homely feel to it, probably directly because of its size, if I had to bring up a family in one I'd probably pick Dublin for that reason

Edit : I'm talking south of the Liffey of course.... :pac:

Absurdum

Dublin, of course. London, like New York, is full of sh1t.

orourkeda

I like London but would never dream of living there. Far too inhospitable.

Dublin is a class city and is as good and nice a city as you will find.

Invalid poll.......... Dublin is not a city in the true sense of the word.

Really? What is it then?

Dublin - it's Irish and it's where I live

hamchops

dublin is a much cleaner city than london by far

My name is URL

Amsterdam and San Francisco are great cities.. there's a completely different vibe in those places than in Dublin, or London, or most other major cities. They seem more like large villages imo

I take it you haven't traveled much.

London for me, it is without doubt my favourite city.

Fantastic architecture, I never tire of flying into Heathrow particularly if you are lucky enough to fly in from the City and over Kensington into Heathrow. Love it when the clocks go back and its just getting dark as you are flying in, fantastic!!

Pubs: Pubs are definitely better in London and of course have a great selection of proper beer, one thing that bugs me about pubs here is lack of choice. I also thing the atmosphere is better.

Think people are friendlier and certainly more polite in London, politeness very obvious in using public transport, people let people off the tube first and don't try and barge on unlike using the commuter services here in the morning. People thank you when you hold the door open for them, it just doesn't seem to happen here anymore.

Public transport obviously is better.

London has a lot more hidden streets with genuinely brilliant little coffee shops and gems of small shops if you are a tourist in London, give the public transport a miss and just get lost in the city.

Shops: No contest London wins hands down for shops and even the most expensive shops in London can be cheaper than here. Again you have places like Covent Garden with small independent shops and great street entertainment.

London would have to win for parks also.

And of course London has the best football team Arsenal

London just has a really mystical feel to it.

To be honest I think it is unfair to compare London and Dublin, while they are similar in ways, as someone pointed out London is one of the great Cities so the comparison is unfair imo.

Dublin is still a fantastic city, its small size makes it very easy to navigate and of course you are basically right beside the sea, Grafton street is still a fantastic street, hope it stays this way, Dublin is not a bad looking city either.

Comparing a city of 1 million or so to one with 8 million is a bit pointless to be honest..

John_Rambo

London is amazing. Great place, the only issue I would have about it is you need lots and lots of money to get a place that has any space. Otherwise you are on top of each other with no outdoor space. Dublin is cleaner, friendlier and safer, I couldn't live far away from the sea I am afraid, so it's Dublin for me, also the proximity of Dublin to other parts of Ireland is a charm, two hours to Sligo, not far from Belfast etc... just back from a weekend in Lahinch myself, getting back was fine with the new motorway and Dublin traffic is so light compared to London suburban and city traffic.

Ends well for the self-loathing, self deprecating, grass is greener brigade, of which there is no shortage.

It always amuses me how OTT people can get in these stupid poll threads, coke/heinz ketchup/dublin is UTTER SHITE, how can anybody stand it!!!! pepsi/chef/london is FAR superior and you are a complete gobshite if you do not agree.

Its not too far to Brighton to be honest. If you lived in Tallaght or Blanch the journey to a nice bit of seaside wouldn't be hugely less.

I don't get people with this mentality. Obviously it's nowhere near on the scale of Moscow or London but it still covers a large area and has a larger population than Liverpool, Manchester, Lyon, Zurich, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Oslo, Copenhagen, etc. (And that's just taking in the city centre population, not the urban or metropolitan populations).

I've been lots of places but I prefer Dublin to any place. Obviously I'm biased because I live there but theres nothing to make me miss home than going to a better place. Eventually I figure that the devil I know is better than the devil I don't.

Londons ok but its not the kind of place I'd like to raise my kids
