Grand parents in their 30s.
Skanger cars like 05 Nissan Almeras or Honda civics parked up
No trees
Local pub has no windows and is usually painted black / grey and is part of a shop complex that consists of a spar with a disproportionate off licence section selling predominantly cans, dominos pizza and paddy powers
AAA / no water meter posters
The estate is a "gardens" or named after a republican
Abandoned furniture, cars and completely random things
Every house has a satellite dish
A Lidl / Aldi near by or dealz is the main shop on the high street
Pie balled ponies grazing
Ad hoc shops, usually in an old garage, selling huge quantities of toilet paper or washing powder
Women are in fake juicy couture tracksuit, men are in matching track suits
Everyone wears unfeasibly white runners
A panel beating / car repair garage, usually it modifies cars as well.

so just a summary of the thread then..

That is kind of insulting to be fair.

Grand parents in their 30s. (Dont be Judging people what can you do ).

Skanger cars like 05 Nissan Almeras or Honda civics parked up. (To me a car is a car does not have to be BMW as long as it gets you from A to

No trees (Plenty of areas dont have them where i am from back home would be considered a very posh area and it has one Tree in the place).

Local pub has no windows and is usually painted black / grey and is part of a shop complex that consists of a spar with a disproportionate off licence section selling predominantly cans, dominos pizza and paddy powers. (Handy to have the pub where i live now 10 mins up the road has all this and to be fair i can get a pizza, Some nice craft beer in the off licence, Then pick up a few things is the shop how bad)

AAA / no water meter posters. (People Standing up to what they believe in fair play to them)

The estate is a "gardens" or named after a republican. (Thats quite a insult now to a lot of people just to do with the area there from)

Abandoned furniture, cars and completely random things. (Thats everywhere in Ireland)

Every house has a satellite dish. (Thats normal in my posh area back home every house has one as well. My mother and fathers has 2 one for Sky and one for my dads Italian TV)

A Lidl / Aldi near by or dealz is the main shop on the high street. (Be handy if i lived by a Dealz i have a LIDL and is very handy to have as the food i hope you know the meet is some of the best you can buy in the country and it comes from the same place as your posh meet)

Pie balled ponies grazing.
Ad hoc shops, usually in an old garage, selling huge quantities of toilet paper or washing powder. (Handy to have as we do need both in our lives).

A panel beating / car repair garage, usually it modifies cars as well. (Handy to have as well in your area as cars do need to be fixed after all not everywhere will pay the 150 euro a hour main dealer charge)

Like Ballyroan or Ballyboden in South Dublin?

A police car and a screaming siren
A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete
A baby wailing and stray dog howling
The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking

A smash of glass and a rumble of boots
An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat
Lights going out and a kick in the balls

Days of speed and slow time Mondays
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday
Watching the news and not eating your tea
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls

Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard
Watching the telly and thinking about your holidays

Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume
A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away

Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude
Getting a cab and travelling on buses
Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs

I think it was aimed towards the entertainment industry rather than a rant about social deprivation. Great song though.

Did you live in templars?
Heard those runners went up on wires when someone young (drugs) died

So how does this work? Do you go and stand under the shoes until a drugs person comes? :pac:

Narc!

A load of graffiti that says something like 'RIP Anto O'Connor' and if you ask anyone who lives around the area you find out he was the biggest scald of a scumbag who terrorized everyone until some other scumbag killed him over a drug debt.

I once saw graffiti in a scummy area that read:

"RIP BOB MARLEY 1974 - 1986"

He was around 12 when he died, apparently.

Oh, and they LOVE UB40.

Maybe I'm making too many contributions to this thread, a bit worrying...

Getting a mass card blown up x 50 and printed as a vinyl so it can be put on your car in remembrance of Jayden Madbollix

Mass card isn't the correct name but you know what I mean.
