    Just from being on here Im always seeing people saying stuff like 'ahh sure what you would you expect from that fella hes from D1' or 'she thinks shes a big shot cos shes from D2' or 'I cant stand anyone from the D3 area myself' or 'I hear the people in D4 dont have showers in the house and have they wash themselves in the trough outside next to the pig" and it just goes on....

    So for all us non dubs who havent a clue... does anyone fancy breaking it all down.. :confused:

    I've heard south side, north side ones, very rarely anyone actually mention postcodes.

    Google it, they are postcodes of areas in Dublin.

    You'll have to guess the names of each area though

    North Dubs.. cider drinking, pot smoking, heroin injecting, tracksuit wearing, cousin marrying scumbags. Think of anyone from Dundalk & you're there.

    South Dubs... Pims drinking, cocaine snorting, ugg boot wearing arse bandits. Go to Dundrum shopping centre & you're there.

    It's how deadly they are

    If you're D1 you're top of the Deadly List but if you're D15 you're way down the ranks.

    people only mainly break d4 into into its own catagory because ther all loike and roish and the rest. then they break up northside and south. supposedly the south are a better class of people and the north are supposed to be scum. i have lived on both sides of the liffey for a number of years a piece and they are the same, the same i tells ya the same.

    Us potato-bothering culchies are afraid to go to Dublin in fear that we'll get stabbed up the arse, injected with a syringe full of Marijuana and have our scalps stolen off us.

    The rest of us? the rest of us happens to be a significantly bigger population that dublin city.

    I'm not from dublin and I for one couldn't care less about the postcodes there and what they're meant to mean.

    I didnt spend much time outside of Finglas until i went to college, i'd never been in feckin stephens green til i was about 18!! :eek:


    I learned 2 things very quickly in college, theres a stereotype about people from Finglas/Ballymun/Ballyfermot... and people from D4 are knobjockeys.

    OP
    this map explains what they mean, although the name of them is kind of explanatory. Postal codes

    It seems like a large area to have just one stereo.
    Do they share it on a rota basis or just play it very loud so everyone can hear?

    Yea, what they do is that they fit the stereo in a 15 yr old honda civic, load the car with a few hundred lads and drive around with it blaring so that the remaining few not in the car can also enjoy the benefit of the techno music

    What about the "Howyeeeeee luff" skanger in the lovely country town who rides all the neighbors husbands... All the skanger babies that follow hardly make each place distinguishable to be honest.

    I'm home once every 2 months and it's more like Dublin every time.. There's more Dubs living outside Dublin nowadays, houses are cheaper. The places are nicer.

    I aint being biased, it's simple fact IMO. Though I've been up here for a good few years and love it, can't ever imagine going back to such rural shizzle.
