Not in my experience, funnily enough. Most of the venom on Boards is not from rich Southsiders, it's people from outside of Dublin calling Dubs "skangers". I doubt Southsiders would be labelling Dubs "Skangers" or "Scumbags" now, would they? Don't tell me you don't see it.

Edit: No doubt there's snobbery there too but it's a bit of a fallacy to say it only comes from there. Anyway, this thread is not about them.

Well to me skangers are people who are too lazy to work a day in their lives and they are everywhere, not just Dublin.

And tbh no I don't see it, around here we talk about a lot of things but discussing northsiders ain't one of them, maybe east of the shannon it is different.

I've nothing to be snobby about anyway, I was born in the sticks and was dirt poor growing up.

It's a f*cking dump.

Absolute ****hole of a city, full of zombies and the smell of ****e off the river on a warm day is horrendous.

I'm out of here the day after my exams end and going back to civilisation.

No institutes of higher learning in your "civilisation"?

And honestly the smell of the Liffey at low tide is localised and only happens at certain times of the day whereas the bang of slurry in the country is so bad you can't even open a wondow or hang clothes out to dry for days/weeks on end.

Why should I be bitter?

I had a very happy childhood, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and take it you weren't being sarcastic.

Hooked on heroin at eleven
Sorry bud can I score a bit of greeeean
There's no need to worry

Pregnant, on the social at sixteeeean"

Would it not be rich southsiders that would be directing snobbery at their northside cousins rather than anyone else?

Not too many 'rich southsiders' now it seems. Unless they are politicians or bankers.

I wasn't specifically talking about you or your mates though or even the majority of people from the country.

I'm specifically referring to those who call Dubs skangers and scumbags on Boards. If you haven't seen those comments, then you need glasses.

yah, whats the story with the reps scheme?
I've a mate who was moaning cause he had to paint sheds (with money he received from us (paye) to paint the sheds!!)

If you cant afford to maintain your farm at a profitable level, give it up..

You know you're a culchie when you think you're entitled to a living from a farm just because you inherited it.

Dublin was hit badly by the floods over the weekend.

Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly muttering ' Whaas da bleeeding Story ?' 'aaaaaawright bud' and 'fuuuucksake'.

The flooding decimated the area causing approximately 30 euro worth of damage.
Several priceless collections of mementos from Benidorm and Santa Ponsa were damaged beyond repair.

Three areas of historic burnt cars were destroyed.

Many locals were woken well before their welfare cheque arrived.

RTE News reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered, still trying to come to the terms with the fact that the damage had not been caused by illegal means.

One resident : Alexis Crystal Duffy, a 15 year old mother of 5 said 'It was such a F***in shock, me little wan Chardonnay Mercedes cem runnin inta me bedruem cryin, Me youngisst two Tyler Morgan an Megan Brooklyn slept tru ih all. But I was bleeedin shaken watchin F***in Rikki Laaake in da mornin'

Apparently though, looting, muggings and incidental crime did carry on as usual.

The Irish Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Strongbow, Dutch Gold, Frozen Pizzas, and John Player Blue to the area to help stricken locals.
Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, which include Welfare Books and Jewelery including thousands of Sovereign Rings, many large Medallions and Hash Leaf Shaped earrings from Elizabeth Duke at Argos also Fine Bone China from Tommy's Wonderland of Value.

This Appeal is to raise money for food and clothing Parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought after, items most needed include:

Fake Burberry or Kappa Baseball Caps
Hoodies (any type)
Tommy Hilfiger Tracks Suits (his and hers)
Nike/Adidas Shell Suits (female)
White Donnay Sports Socks Rockport Boots (and any other items usually sold in TK Maxx)
Anything from Magic or Unique
Food Parcels may be harder to come by as refrigeration may be a problem, but are needed all the same.
Required Foodstuffs include:

McCains Oven Chips
Heinz Baked Beans
Goodfellas Frozen Pizzas
Coke/Fanta
Strongbow Cider
Smirnoff Ice
John Player Blue 15s
And Remember That Your Cash Contribution Also Counts !!!
Just 22c buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms and Bookies slips
Just 5 euro buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9
Only 6 euro will pay for a packet of 20 Major to calm the nerves of those affected.
Thank You Very Much For Your Help.

I was in the inlaws getting sushed as the deaths were on..
I told them about Hector doing the birth notices on his RTE morning show..

The mother in law, "whats the point in that?"
Me: "Whats the point in the death notices? If you're that close to the dead person, you'll hear it on the phone, not the radio."

No hot drop of tea for me that day

People from rural areas are more likely to :
Have dinner at lunch time.
Call dinner 'the dinner'.
When telling a story include references to the lineage/friendships etc of key characters to make sure everyone knows who each person in the story is.

Idiots are much more likely to:
Use the word culchie
Start or get involved in my area/team is better then yours conversations.
Feel the need to put down places they know little or nothing of.
