Dublin in general really... I've been to filthy scumhives in spain that were nicer than it. It's just a downright horrible place.

rymus

at the moment, La Rochelle in France. The part of it I stayed in was infested with French traveller types and it's just generally not a very nice place.

I'd have to agree. Any time I see tourists in Dublin, especially European ones, I feel so ashamed of the sh*thole we call our capital city, and I have to fight the urge (seriously) to tell them to leave it and go west, to see some of Ireland's positive attributes. It was a ****hole in the Viking times, and it hasn't changed much since then.

Another place I have little positivity for would be Miami. It's just a horribly corrupt place - sure there's plenty of sunlight and exposed flesh, but that's about it. It's one of the seediest, most vacuous places I've ever had the misfortune of being. It's like one giant red-light district, masquerading as a proper city. ugh.

The center of London on a saturday afternoon, there's people fucking every where.

Cork - it's a ****ing hole full of squeaky voice morons dying to fight you just because you're from Dublin.

Yeah I was in Miami a few years back, was really looking forward to going and from when I got there , people were out to rip you off in every direction, was so expensive, the people were really ignorant and I'd take dublin hands down any day.

As for Tallaght and the Square well I lived there for 5 years up to a year ago and personally find it a grand area and not originally from Tallaght , the square has improved big time although itd far too busy in the run up to xmas. Security are a bit dopey though but have to say dont think its the worst sorry!

Suaimhneach

The 77, going through Tallaght. I've lived here all my life, gone to school on it for six years straight.

That's not true. I moved to Glasnevin. I no longer get the 77.

Sweet freedom.

Last time I was there I don't remember people shagging on the streets of London...

Guvnor

nowt wrong with London imo. When you say center where do you mean biz end, oxford street, west end or portobello? Dublin unfortunately is a dirty looking city partly due to the weather. It lacks the visual appeal of Paris or London or Vienna etc. Dublin has done all right or exceptionally well given what we have to offer in terms of tourism and international hipness etc.

jesus_thats_gre

Galway, the dirtiest town centre in Ireland!!

Sarky

You mean "nothing", right?

I'm not particularly fond of Dublin myself. It's been a while, though, so I doubt I'm qualified to give an opinion on the place. Ballinasloe, on the other hand, is a place I can denounce as hatefully as I please. The Buffy-inspired term "Hellmouth" springs instantly to mind.

Dingatron

Scranton, Pennsylvania. Another long story but claim to fame is supposedly the biggest junkyard in the USA. What a kip.

I'll add a second least favourite place then... Dublin, because it's full of morons like the above.

Lump

Oxfird Street, Hammersmith, Sheperds Bush etc etc etc.... it's all busy, and people are in such a rush, even at the weekends.

The Square at Christmas. It's gonna be my third christmas working there this year.
And any bus late at night when it's full of crazy drunk people.

tony 2 tone

nutkase

Boston the birthplace of the american snob

Pain in the arse, then the junky mothers lookin for a shot o yer phone

has to be Dublin 4 and environs at lunch time...loads of arrogant and pretentious suits rushing around with coffee (coffee-on-the-go so fashionable u know) in their hands speaking drivel into their latest Nokia phones.

Zaph

Tijuana. The only place I've ever been in that I can honestly say that I couldn't wait to get the hell out of again. It's dirty, crowded and gives you a permanent feeling that you're about to be mugged at any time.

In Ireland it has to be Waterville in Kerry, mainly because it sounds like it should be a nice place but when you get there you discover it's a total kip.

Our man in Havana

Bristol, full of west country knackers who will rob anything not nailed down!

Bahahahaha, so true. That's a memory that remains to this day from working in D4 2 years ago..


Also, where is Thomas St?

ionapaul

Some contrarian thoughts:

Cliften isn't so bad! In fact, I think it is a nice place...

D4 isn't bad either.

There are TONS of nice places in LA - ever go up to Griffith Observatory? Santa Monica? I don't like the city much in general, but it really isn't that bad. Tijuana, now that's a real hellhole!

I don't know Dublin that well (only been here 4 months now) but Thomas Street has to be the worst of what I've seen - I work up around there and hate seeing the dealers and the junkies transact their business during my lunch-time walks.

RasTa

LA for me also

ThenComesDudley

Thomas street is connected to james st (where the Guniness buildings are)
also Vicar St venue is also on thomas street as is the National College of art and design.

billy the squid

O'Malley Park in limerick you go up there your taking your life into your own hands. all the houses look the same it is so easy to get lost (well all the ones that havent been burnt out yet do)

you don't know if the people passing you on the street are going to say good morning or are they going to kill you. possibly the scariest place i have ever been.

scumbags on every corner .

Manchester is my pick of unfavourite place....kip..

Waterford is full of ignorant bog warriors.

The Square Tallaght is not too bad save for the Atari Expo which attracts the high-angled-cap wearing, tash sporting, weasle faced, ignorant, dole Queue attending, car thief scumbags, from Cushlawn, Rossfield and Donomore, (the roughest parts of Tallaght) for fun and games.

Galway is full of Travellers I hear???
