    Yes Micky, thanking the bus Driver for not robbing them is unique...

    no no no, it's a Kip of epic proportions, just that Dubs are precious about their kip, if they could build a wall around the M50 and fill it with Water or even that muck Guiness they would be doing the rest of the country a favour (I ain't kidding either)

    OP, it's upto you to prove otherwise, balanced opinion... Lol

    So you don't live in Dublin. Therefore, have no knowledge to base this on.

    Precious much?

    Dublin is a great city to live in, most of the people who bash it dont live here so I dont think they are really in a position to have such strong opinions about it. Ive never had any trouble in the centre of the city or in any of the suburbs.Ive lived here all my life, Ive been in there late at night,Ive worked in all parts of the city, Im not a particularly big guy either but if you just have a bit of cop on I can almost guarantee youll have no trouble .

    Dublin is a great place.

    Dublin has easily the most polite junkies in all of Europe. One even gave me directions once and didn't even ask for a needle in return.

    Out of date knowledge from a tourist perspective more or less.

    I like lots of places outside Dublin. Galway is the only one that wants immediate nuking because of its twee self regard and surfeit of smug hippy tossers.

    Just cause we are better ann :)

    Nice attempted fob off...

    I've lived in Ireland since 2001.
    I have lived there.
    I go there 10-15 times a year.

    Once again, nice attempted fob off.


    Precious much???

    I go to Northern Ireland 20 times a year. Doesn't mean I know anything about the state of the place, means I see what I see in the 8 or so hours I spend there each time, plus the occasional weekend I spend there. Trying to claim I know it well enough to say if its a kip or not would make me sound like a twat. So I don't :)

    Do me a favour will ya. Drop the "precious much" thing. It doesn't come across well.

    The funny thing is, we all speak the same lingo, we mostly like doing the same crap and we certainly bitch about the same issues.

    A grand bunch of lads :D

    Did I state how long I stay there for?

    Fogging Technique only works if you have ground to stand on first.

    You don't have to claim anything to be one BTW...

    Granted, but being called a "Tourist" after living here since 2001 is a small bit condescending if not slightly biggoted.

    A bit like "precious much" just slightly condescending....

    Let it go. It'll be grand.

    I remembered another Dublin story. I was in a pub with a friend and we meet some American tourists. It was the middle of the day and a music session started. Some ould lad in the corner started to sing, the Americans chatted away normally and even stuck some money in the musicians jar. Afterward he csme up and gave them a pile of shyte. That's not cool. When I found out what was said we had words. He told me to "fcuk off". Fancy that :p

    What I find in Dublin that I never saw in Liverpool, beggars with good stories. Not just 'spare some change bud' but the ones who'd have a whole thing
    'ere mate, I need 20 euros to fill my van with petrol so i can drive me sistar to a hospital in newcastle, she's expecting any minute now and i have to catch the ferry. il post the money back to ya soon as we get home bud i swear'

    My sister got mugged in London while at an ATM.

    It's still probably the best city I ever lived in.

    Your point is a weak one. Bad things happen everywhere.

    But she has lived in Sydney, Melbourne, London, Cape Town and Dublin, it happened in Dublin, the thread is about Dublin, so not a weak point at all sorry, it might be against your thoughts/wishes but hard luck, if it happened in Dublin it's open for discussions on a Thread about Dublin.






    BTW, hope your sister was OK afterwards.

    I give Dublin a fair old slagging but it really isn't the worst place you could visit.

    I think the sheer volume of people you would see in the city can intimidate us boggers sometimes, but once we've tripped up a few people from behind and spat on a few lads backs as we're walking along its all forgotten about.

    That's just spreading the anecdotal basis of your point rather than correcting it.

    I've been to numerous cities in various parts of the world and Dublin is easily genuinely the worst of them all.

    A horrible ****ing kip of a place with zero redeeming features. I dread having to go there for any reason. A garbage place filled with garbage people.
