(ie this thread would be a lot more interesting if you could bicker in the form of a song).

Wait, so if people are going to Dublin for the day, it might just mean it'd be a little bit quieter in work.

Woo!

What makes me laugh is that there are still people who live outside Dublin who have chips on their shoulders

Oh and Dubs don't? Hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. This thread was started initially insulting people who are not from Dublin, so why shouldn't we react? Doesn't mean we have any sort of chips on our shoulders. I, for one, enjoy socialising and shopping in Dublin on rare occasions and have said, since I was a little girl, and still stand by it, that not in a million years, would I live/work in the kip (or especially raise a chld in it). You all give out about how many "culchies" live in Dublin, but have you noticed how many Dubs are moving to the "country" for a BETTER quality of life - *shock horror* I think yer all jealous because we don't have to have alarms on our houses, we don't have to shower twice a day to wash the cities grime off ourselves and we don't have to sit in gridlock traffic every day to make our way to work. We dont have to listen to sirens going off every 5 minutes because some junkie is after over-dosing. We don't have to pay outrageous prices/rent for horrible houses in horrible areas. The sooner Dubs realise and admit that they're actually far worse off in the quality of their life than us country-folk the better! Jealousy is a terrible thing! We breath fresh air, we don't have gridlock traffic on our way to work (I travel 6 miles to work in 7 minutes from drive-way to car-park) and yes, I sometimes travel across to Dublin to shop for a day or stay overnight and attend a concert or something, but it's a day out/weekend away and it's enjoyable because you don't have to look at the dive every day of your life. I breath a sigh of relief every time I leave the place, it's such a horrible stressed-out, stinking city eurgh. And good luck to all who descend on it's city-centre and/or shopping centres today (dubs and "culchies" alike) because it will be bedlam. believe it or not, we have 4 Dubs arrivig here in a couple of hours to get away from it for the weekend!!

What would you prefer?

while most people from Dublin couldn't give a toss if you're from Cork, Longford, or Ballycobegarra.

No, of course not, that is why this thread was started with the title "Is tomorrow "culchies descend on dublin" day? "

Seriously, get over it

Get over what? This thread was started by gereralisations about "country" folk, people who live outside of the capital.

Personally, I wouldn't go shopping on the 8th December no matter where I am. I live outside a rather big town (some people call it a city but it isn't) and I wouldn't go near it for the amount of hill-billies that descend on it on 08/12 every single year.

Hagar

I've no objection to the annual bog-trotters outing.
We just need to make sure that they all go home afterwards.

I (not by my choice, its a college thing) live in Dublin and this thread shows my BIGGEST hate of living there. How many of you native Dubs have ever lived outside of the city? So many of you judge everyone else, but have absolutely no basis for it. Ive lived in four different counties, two of them cities and Dublin is not and never will be my number one choice. The quality of living, cost of living, nightlife etc is so much better in other parts. Its so sickening to listen to people slag you about being from somewhere, when they are *sometimes* completely uncultured themselves.

And back to the topic...Let people shop if they want to shop. Get over it! Its sad that you care so much.

Urban Legends :Culchie day
The day when none of us as kids were allowed into town not even with parental supervision. Culchies were to descend on the nations capital like flies on a picnic, swarming in mud -encrusted boots jumping off gigantic green tractors to trail through o connell st. God help you if you worked on culchie day in town, culchies coming up to you, you thinking your translation is ok, you watched killinaskully before, you know you can make out some words...
Culchie: How're'ya d'ya'ave any'adoes tings dare in the winda

Killinaskully, glenroe, they all lied.... culchies werent anything like on tv. no the were true bogmonsters. paying in cash, big wads of it dwarfed in their calloused, turf digging hands

Worst thing of all?

THERE REAL!?!?!?!?

I never actually mentioned anything about dublin being better but? Just goes to show how sensitive the spud gobblers are on the old inferiority issue.

Anyway I'm back in one piece, seems fairly quiet this year right enough, though i steered clear of henry street, t'would break me heart to see all the old dears from carlow etc weeping when they found out that Roches had been taken over be the brits.

I even ventured into Argos, which normally would attract so many muckahs you'd swear they were handing out headage grants. Two nice rural ladies behind me on dame street were ag leabhairt as gaelige, which was go deas

Ahh, isn't it cute....
that dubs all think that they're so sophisticated coming from the 'big city' and that everybody else is a bogger as they've not had the benefit of living somewhere as large and cosmopolitan as Dublin. Ah, bless em.

They will be lining the streets waving their little "Jackeen" flags welcoming us.

No, no, no, my fellow boggers. Oh the pride of going to Dublin. We are so lucky to be able to go there to inject a few extra bob into their thriving economy. I feel honoured to be able to go and see our superior folk in action.

Apparently the streets are full of diversity & multi cultural people. The roads are constantly blocked with things called road works & SUV thingy's.

Apparently you can go into restaurants & if you like the food the chef won't pee or spit into it...Imagine!!!!

If we are lucky, we might even see a shootout amongst people who argue over snow. (Why argue over snow I don't know, damn stuff is freezing, better than rain I suppose)

Pubs are supposed to be the berries, expensive I hear but well worth €5+ for a Guinness, if you are lucky the bartender will understand you. If you don't spend though they will chuck you out... Those poor landlords are just trying to make a living.

So, I for one am going to make an effort to support our elite class. I have polished my wellies (yes, the Dunlop Specials) & ironed my dungarees. I'm so humbled to be going... :rolleyes:

I live here now...ha ha ha ha ha. I'm off to town soon. And please- Dub? A proper city? Not enough shops in town. Nope.

Helix

do as many culchies bother any more?

what with decent shopping being pretty much nationwide these days

pretty-in-pink

I doubt it....I'd be more worried about the potential surge in scumbags trying to rob people. And those guys with the white tracklegs, tucked into their socks, the really bad hair, the stink of lynx and cheap gold, and the pyjamma girls. Ugh.

Helix

aye tell me about it, i work on abbey st ffs

they should make it legal to kill those filth

nothing but a drain on the taxpayer

pretty-in-pink

Yup, they are dodgy out. Ugh, off to town now. I'll probably be on Abbey street. Must go present shopping. What shop are you in? I might come over and say hi!

dont work in a shop, civil servant all the way

To be honest if one of your great grandparents isn't a culchie, I'd be dead worried about being an inbred.

Sure everybody in Dublin is a selfish bastard who does nothing but shoot up heroin and rob people. Unforunately the fungal virus that is urban sprawl is growing and so is attacking my once moderately good town. Save yourselves.

Driver 8

It's an unfair balance-

Dubs have to put up with "muck savages" for one day out of 365

The poor culchies that live close enough for Dublin yuppies to move there to have to be subjected to their superiority complex for the full year.

Have to say I laughed when I first read that term for us country-folk

But then I remembered my ex.....from Dublin (NS) and him travelling down here on the weekends, was, to him, a massive effort, jesus I thought he'd never shut up complaining about the train - which I'd never travel on myself, but he was a typical tight-wad Dub (I went by plane to Dublin when I was going up to him but he was too fecken tight to fork out an extra 20quid)

Anyways, he's the biggest f*cking spud gobbler I ever met, he loves the things, if there's not a massive pot of SPUDS on every day he isn't happy (even if he's the only one who wants the things) His family were so old-fashioned, he said they had potatoes every single day for dinner :rolleyes: I couldn't live like that, maybe it's a Dublin (North-side) thing....He also made a fool of me in a resaurant one day whilst ordering, no clue whatsoever, you can dress them up.....but you def can't bring them out... He got a gorgeous meal (in a well-known, modern, and fantastic restaurant, whih I frequent - lovely food, service excellent) and because it didn't have a MOUNTAIN of "spuds" on the plate he thought he was being "done out of it" on the money front.....jesus, I had to get rid of him before he made a scene!! :rolleyes:

Just a thought.....maybe stick to "muck savages" for us instead of "spud gobblers" which is a term I'm sure the English use for all of us Irish (including the Dubs)

I always remember my mother telling me about going to Moore Street one day and getting some tomatoes. The woman on the stall tried to give her some that didn't look wonderful. When my mother pointed to the ones she wanted the stall holder gives here an earful, saying : "oooh, here we go now. The culchies are up to hand pick them".. That typifies the Dublin mentality for me.

No doubt, you in turn will pass on this tale to your children and then their children. Along with the time in '58 those bastard O'Driscolls ran their bullock through the family meadow below without so much as a by-your-lave. More bleedin' chips than Macaris some of you lot.

It's times like these I love living where I do.

You see, I'm stuck in the middle.

I've access to Dublin bus and rail services, but I'm not actually in Dublin.

I really couldn't give a flying **** if you could fit 8 Dublins into London, but I think it's really petty when country folk (I'm from the suburbs. Blow me) throw a hissy fit when the dubs take the piss out of them.

I also laugh when the dubs get their backs up when Meath kick their ass (again) in Croke Park and everyone in the country laughs at the dubs.

On the down side, if I go into Dublin, I'm called a bogger. If I go anywhere else in the country, I'm called a dub.

I have to say though, the dubs are a much nicer crowd.

If I'm mistaken for a culchie, I get a gentle ribbing.
If I'm mistaken for a dub, I'm lucky to escape without getting a kicking.

Most of the culchies I've met really have a big chip on their shoulders when it comes to dubs.
I suggest you get over yourselves and your city-envy.

Driver 8

City envy?

Envy implies that we have a desire to be like Dublin, or Dubs, no?

You can talk about chips on shoulders all night, but who started the thread? I'd argue the chips are equally large.

Both the Dublin view of "muck savages" and country view of "jackeens" are forms of prejudice that are for some reason, socially acceptable.
In this instance, this thread just seemed to be a rather sad, smug attempt to bait people or invite some back-slapping from fellow Dubs, secure in their "hilarious" responses.

Mr.Micro

Make sure all you Dubs put the Culchie money to good use as thats all your getting until next year .Might consider building a by pass so the Culchies can go somewhere a bit classier as Dub land is so last year .Need to smarten your act up there are better centres all over Ireland now giving better value .

Its funny when country folk call us Dubs "Jackeens". Its means drunkards and well they aren't exactly pioneers. Oh and by the way on the quality of life issue. We have hospitals that aren't forty miles away and access to clean drinking water all year around. Much more entertainment available for people to indulge in. Culture to indulge in. This is where interesting art is displayed and shows from far off places come to perform. Its much better to live here.

Might I also add that if Dublin is tiny what the heck is your town or village?

I thought "jackeen" was a reference to the Union Jack?
