Drogheda/Bettystown. So unbelievably boring I moved to Ballymun. Great place, close to the city/amenities, cheap rent and a fantastic apartment. Now I live in Germany so that's nothing compared to here!

Lived in Kilnamanagh when I was younger. Our playschool teacher actually had to get a German Sheppard to look after us when we were playing in the yard because older kids kept coming in a ****ing things up and stealing toys.

A place in Portarlington, Co Laois, it was an old house, converted into four one bed flats,
within the flats themselves there was no bath or shower, there was a communal showerroom(three showerheads on either side of the wall!) and a two bath, yes you read right two baths in another room, there was a toilet and handbasin in the flat itself,
Also in the kitchen sink there was no hot water to wash up, me and the oh had to boil the kettle!
There was 2 communal washer/dryers also.
We didn't have the facilities to store wheelie bins either, so we had to keep the rubbish indoors in our bin and put 2/3 aes sacks out every TWO WEEKS, just imagine the smell of leftover food and whatnot.
The only 3 good things about about the flat was that the landlord always kept the oil tank full, all year round heating, sky(free to air)was in each flat and the rent was only 37.50 per week.
Oh and to be fair the electricity was good value also, because it was the old coin style way, and €5 a week did us.
We only lasted 5 months there!
Sincerely,
iguy

Northstrand.
The house itself was a bit of a kip. It had been damaged by flooding in the 60's or something but never fixed up properly so all the floors were sloaping. It was like walking uphill going through the house. Peas would roll off the dinner plate.

It was also beside the Dart line so the whole house would rattle every time a train passed.

On the upside, no need for an alarm clock as the morning dart into Clontarf station woke me in time for work. It was walking distance to work and near enough town, and I shared the house with a mate from home and a few other sound lads so it was a bit of craic.

But the house itself was a cave.

lived in High Wycombe myself for 4 months, was a dump.

Biggest kip was Glodwick in Oldham, scene of the Oldham race riots a few years ago. Lived there for about 20 years. Nice area at first, but unfortunately turned into a dump by a certain section of society.
