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.

We're lovely down here! Beats Tallaght anyway as your post clearly shows!

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

Sorry to hear that. We're not all bad But yeah I do despise Cork, Dublin is a haven compared to it(I've lived in both places). Squeaky voiced scum everywhere(in FAR greater numbers than in Dublin) and seemingly multiplying with an incubation period of only about 2 years. And then there's the growing population and no funding to meet the needs to the growing population. Traffic situation is worse than Dublin, there's no parking anywhere and the buses never show up. You don't how lucky you have it up in Dublin, buses every 5 mins and turning up reliably, compared to Cork, where buses are scheduled every 15 mins, every second bus is guaranteed not to show up, and even then you're lucky if there's a bus every 30 mins. Evening times are the worst, with buses sometimes only every hour and a half, and there's no public transport alternative to the bus. We were promised the RAPID system (cork's alternative to the LUAS) but nothing came of it.

Heathrow Airport. Although it's a close call between it and Ballinasloe. Dundee is also a Major Craphole.

Alice Springs...without a shadow of a doubt! The aboriginal tribes seemingly exile all their undesirables to Alice and by god, i hope never to see again, such shocking living conditions and deprivation that i saw amongst the aboriginal population of that town. Atmosphere of sadness and desperation permeates the place....

was gonna spend a few days there with my mate but after we spent one night there, we went straight to the bus station the next morning to get the next bus out of town...there was only one seat left on any bus and we literally drew lots to see who'd get it....in the end we were able to get on a tour and get out of the town...

Agree here mate but Grafton Street on a Saturday is a real scrum! Parts of London are nice like that Gerkin building or bullet or whatever it's called. It one some style award recently. Little Venice is a nice part of town and the west end is not so bad but not what you would expect same goes for time square which is a major let down imo and a lot smaller than you imagine.

I'd say Iraq is a little bit worse than Tallaght or Boris-in-Ossory so I'll say my least favourite place is - the queue in abra-ke-bogra - and the sinking feeling you get that you've hit an all time low again as you scramble to order, pay for and eat the worst kind of greasy ****e food possible but can't convince your brain of this fact at all.

That or Sligo, Sligo is a hole... in fact urban Ireland as a whole is a hole.

Thats Borris-in-Ossory which is in County Laois actually

I agree that it is not really a nice place at all. Tip: Go across the road to the garage and buy your refreshments at a fraction of the hotel prices.

granted, in comparison to other capital cities, dublin is pathetic....but what are you going to replace it with? cork? limerick? galway?.....hahahaha.

on topic/ i dislike: belgium (long story), many small/medium/large towns in ireland - i find them very depressing places.

I hate Cork with every ounce of whatever feeling is measured in within my body-hate the people,hate the bars I just hate it.

Bun Beg Co. Donegal, went to the night club and ive never been in a room with so many ugly people. No offence but wow! There were about 30 or 40 down syndrome people there too. At the end of the night I ended up talking to one down syndrome guy (really nice kid but not who you want to talk to at 2:30am and the bar isnt serving) he spent the next while asking me for advice on girls. I told him that he just has to be forward and go after them. With that he went over to one girl and slapped her on the ass and said "your lovely", he got a hard slap and the poor lads glass's went flying onto the dance floor.

Bot only that there was no draught beer, only warm cans for €4.30. It was a funny night all the same. Wont go back though, maybe when Im in my 50's.

Ha, if you want depressing, hark to my olde tale of woe:

For the 4+ wonderful years I lived in California, I came home about twice a year. Would fly from San Francisco (or LA) to Shannon. To get to the family home in Galway required a drive through Ennis, Gort (yegads, no-one mentioned Gort yet? What a HOLE) and other smaller and more horrible places. As I often arrived back around Christmas or in Autumn, it was frequently raining and really miserable. What a drive of depression. At least Galway lay at the end of those drives, obviously most people love their native home, but Galway is lovely - get rid of the tourists and the 'lads-from-Finglas-on-the-piss-down-the-country' idiots and it's even better.

Loughrea is the greatest hole of a small town in Ireland - horrible to look at, spend time in and always, always traffic gridlock. FFS BY-PASS IT ALREADY!

It is a well-known scientific fact (I believe Newton, Einstein and Steven Hawking have all worked on the theory behind it) that the further you go from civilisation in Ireland, the uglier the people. There are exceptions to the rule, of course - any and all boardsters fall into this category, I am sure

Least favourite place in Ireland would have to be Dublin as a whole. Your either surrounded by scumbags or pretentious tossers, there's very few normal people up here, it seems like you have to aspire to be one or the other of the polar groups.

Worldwide? Playa Del Ingles in Gran Canaria would have to go down as the dirtiest, sleaziest place I've ever been. It's a pity because if you walk the beach there in the dusk, you can see the beauty of the island itself. It could have been one of the nicest places in the world, but we, and the british, ruined it for our love of good weather and cheap beer....

Lex_Diamonds

The Ilac *fooking* Centre and its environs. Holy sh|t that area is depressing.

Oh and Dundalk.

I've never been too fond of Ennistymon.
It is such an ugly town/ village surrounded by so many beautiful places. Unfortunately it is the only place big enough to have an ATM in the vicinity of Doolin/ Lisdoonvarna.
Also, outside Ireland, I have seen enough bad parts of Naples to put me off for life. From a distance it looks great - the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius look amazing from a height. Unfortunately once you go into the city it starts resembling a thirld world country. This would be quite charming if the place was not full of scammers, thieves and maniac drivers. Still the best Pizza I've ever had in Italy though!

in that case (like i do) go to the shop around the corner or the petrol station across the road...


Drogheda. It is a complete kip full of assholes...

so very very true- i dont live too far away from there, luckily i escaped to (whisper) limerick, just like drogheda only three times as big, and not as bad as the papers say!

i like cork, down there quite a bit. hate dublin. have to commute to there from february til july

outside of ireland, id have to nominate st. denis in paris (where the stade de france is), looks like a taller version of ballymun in the bad 'ol days

Heuston Station on a Sunday night. Conversely, it's one of my favourite places on a friday evening

McDonalds anywhere in the world.

Havanna Browns nightclub in Cork.

A place I really hated as a kid was Craganowen (sp?) in Co Clare. Went there on stupid school tours before going to Bunratty (which was actually quite fun).

Las Vegas. It's fun to visit for one day - just to see it. If I had to spend a week there think I would go totally nuts. It took me a whole hour to get up tropicana (driving) at 11 O'Clock at night. My problem is not the traffic though - its just the tackiness of the place. Pyramid here, Roman building there... sigh. They've probably build a New Grange since with shamrocks all over it :eek:

Not yet Elvis, but apparently Michael Flatley is planning an Irish-themed casino there :eek:

Bari on East Coast of Italy, what a dump. Was hanging around waiting for nite train to Venice and a local started shoving a gun about the place.. couldn't get out of there fast enough. nothing to do, obviously just a place u are passing through :mad:

Belfast Central Train Station

I go to university in Coleraine, and have to commute to/from Dublin via Belfast. There's ALWAYS something wrong with the Enterprise train (goes Dublin-Belfast-Dublin) when I'm trying to get home or up to college. Even when the train is running on time, and there's no 'security alerts', whenever I arrive into Belfast Central Station, either on the Enterprise from Dublin, or the awful rickety train from Coleraine--there's always up to 90mins before my connecting train. It's really not somewhere that's fun to wait around in *sigh*

Have to commute back up to Coleraine tomorrow *sob*

giftgrub

i did vegas as well..and even though they obviously spent billions on the place...theres still just the slightest undertone of sadness about it all

i also used to hate the bus station in cork..especially on friday evening when all the students are going home to their mammies

trendy bars... you know the kind of place where everyone is too cool for school...no names mentioned...i hate them i hate them

does the 77 bus to tallaght count as a place? if it does its made my list.

Kêrmêttê

I hate the cupboard under our sink in the kitchen... It's full of all sorts of weird containers and bottles that the labels have dropped off and no one will throw anything out just in case the mystery container might be useful at some point in the future. Also, because it's so stuffed with random things, the shelf in the middle keeps collapsing and everything tumbles out into the middle of the kitchen floor... I HATE THAT PLACE! :mad:

I also hate the storage space under the stairs. I might be very small but I still crack my head on the very small door frame everytime I have to rummage for something under there!

I thought Tijuana was fun. Didn't feel scared at any point, except maybe of the cops due to some stories I heard. But a full night out for Four Dollars can not be sniffed at. Fun place.

TBH, I would say 90% + of the Provo's in Louth are in Dundalk. The place is crawling with them.
