    I played hurling for Malahide. Never played cricket but our pitch was next door. Played one game of hockey in my life - an All Ireland final!

    Zzippy fled the desolate lands of the northside and ran west to the wetlands and bog.

    South Dublin all the way.

    Interestingly though my mam grew up on the North side and no joke she lived on Sheriff street until she was 20!

    I work in the IFSC and at lunch time once a week we play association football in one of the community centre cages on sherrif street surrounded by flats. It's actually amazing. The lads will come down, high as a kite and give a running commentary on the game. They even know some of our names at this stage. "Hit Mick, hit mick, he's in space... ahhh for ****s sake man, how did you not make that ball, ****ING HIT IT"

    You're Swords/Malahide aren't you? That's practically Southside.

    I was Ranelagh my first 6 years in Ireland but started dating a Northsider and took ages to convince her she was actually allowed to cross the Liffey. She doesn't want to live Southside so we settled on Swords.

    I knew a kiwi who lived in Ranelagh, worked in Insurance?

    Ha, I grew up in Swords, it's definitely not practically southside! Malahide would consider itself southside alright...

    We should have a Swords meetup! :D

    Swords for me definitely not south side

    Malahide Sutton and Howth would be though

    I love living here though

    Not me. Had at least a dozen kiwi mates living in Ranelagh back then. There were a few of them in finance or insurance I think. I assume it was this kiwi you knew that educated you about rugby :D

    I've never understood why you'd want to live in the morass of south Dublin. I grew up in Artane - could be in town in 10 minutes, out in malahide in 15, by the bay in 5. Just better all round really.

    But you could be in ballymun in 7 mins, darndale in 10 mins or finglas in 5 mins.
    We can visit Dalkey, Foxrock or Ballsbridge and wear our polo shirts with the collars popped and our boat shoes (fashionably scuffed).

    Or, from Terenure, you could be in Neilstown more quickly and have the scuffing done for you!

    I prefer Ronanstown....More open to sorting out any problems with kicking.

    Southside till I die. Right on the border between D24 and D16. Gas the premium people are willing to pay just to have D16 in the address.

    Negatives:- Public transport is awful. Access to the M50 really clogs up local traffic at peak times. Takes ages to get to the RDS.

    Positives:- Great having the M50 on doorstep (:pac:) On the foothills of the mountains (can be up in the Hellfire/Masseys car park in about 4 minutes).

    Has anyone done Zipit up in Cruagh yet? Highly recommend it if you haven't

    I live in Dublin 2.

    Benefits, about an 2.5 minute walk from Coppers.

    Ballsbridge for me

    The benefits should be clear.

    The negatives: the northside riffraff who come every Christmas for their yearly pillage of the area. Do they still call it Funderland?

    Formerly Stillorgan, which was good for almost anywhere you;d want to go. Now Greystones, so no longer part of the Great County. :(

    That said, getting to the RDS or Aviva is pretty handy. Plus the mayhem that is the Dart after games pretty much requires me to go for pints to let it ease off. So that's def a positive.

    Are there any rugby fans in south Dublin at all? Apart from Venjur?
