    Don't forget, it's one of the posher parts of Dublin and they get a bit annoyed if you don't pronounce it "Sha-reef" Street.

    Given you're a Westerner it might take you a few tries, so don't be surprised if they don't understand you right away.

    Oh and to avoid some confusion - if someone offers you some 'yolks' it means they have free range eggs for sale and it's considered rude to refuse.

    ha! good point, Connemara man, the red line refers to the luas which is a tram or what people in Connemara call an 'electric street railway'. It operates on urban streets on segregated rights of way. You will not be able to drive your cart onto the tram lines as the wheels will get stuck so you'll need to leave your horse and cart with the travellers in Smithfield market.

    Make sure you hold your arm out so that the Luas stops for you.

    Try to stay north of the river if you can. The southside people talk funny, have big notions, and think they're better than everyone else. It's like Cork, only worse...

    Yeah, but there's no rugby worth talking about north of the Liffey. :pac:

    Sorry Stheno, you are actually wrong on this one. 'Town' as far as Dublin is concerned is assigned to the part of the city that is oldest and had an original high population density.

    Connemara man - you want to head to a quaint part of old Dublin towards the east of the city centre, it's called Sherrif Street and it's a beautiful part of town. You can get there on the red line. No need to thank me, have fun!

    Call in to Noctors when you're there...lovely people. Make sure to ask for a pimms with ice and tell them you don't like guinness - "it's pure bog water for muck savages".

    Reminds me last year I had a work meeting in Inchicore.

    Not knowing anywhere else my colleague and I agreed to meet in the black horse beforehand

    He got there first and ordered two lattes at the bar. He swears they nearly fell around the place laughing at him

    I saw 2 old men squaring up to each other outside the Black Horse one night...proper arms bent upwards like something from the 1800's.

    I have lived up here for a while in the past. But never got where town was. Because I'm used to "town" being a more compact area like Galway.

    Yes. It's not just the fact that there are Northsiders on here, but that they see nothing wrong with that. So brazen. :mad:

    This was about 11:30 in the morning to be fair. It just came across as a bit of a kip

    That said I used live near Dorset street and drank in a place called Stoneys.
    Once the locals knew you it was grand
    I'd put the black horse in the same vein


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,978 ✭✭✭✭irishbucsfan

    Here's the thing....cricket is far more of a northsider sport. Majority of cricket clubs are north of the Liffey and north Co. Dublin.
