    This is a thread about rural Ireland and the things you see. Why are you all in a flap about Dublin? What is your obsession? Can you not talk about the sights and idiosyncrasies that are indigiounous to your area instead of pissing, bitching and moaning about Dubs and Dublin.

    For fooks sake lads, grow up, move on.

    Well at least I can afford it me ole flower. And at least I don't spend hundreds on petrol every week to get to work.

    who the hell does that, everyone knows you must have a diesel car in the country, jeez

    o and people tend to spend less on fuel in rural Ireland because our cars can get out of 2nd gear or more that a mile,unlike cities with terrible traffic.

    and there are alot of better and more expensive houses in the country,the thing is the bank doesn't own them because most rural people build there own house from savings,unlike debt ridden cities such as Dublin etc

    For a while there diesel prices were above petrol. At least I don't live in a ghost estate that is literally 20 km from the nearest amenities.

    If they are so up their holes about living in their sacred city I say we should cut off their food supply for a month and then ask them what they think of rural Ireland.

    Then you would miss out on all your dole subsidies. Now cop on and talk about what you would see in rural Ireland instead of crying about Dublin.

    Because you said it was sacred.

    We could still build gardens on top of our roofs and grow vegetables and fruits. We would still survive!!!

    Eh, we could really.

    Any other insights to the sights you might see in rural Ireland instead of obsessing about city dwellers?

    We import oil from abroad via dublin port. We could cut off your oil supply and then you will have no cars to drive around in. We would then use the oil to heat our houses. Mu ha ha ha!!

    Country people moan all the time. They're always complaining about everything; if it's not about land it's about that bitch at work. Dublin have always had a better sense of humour than the country folk.

    Yes I do, both my parents are from Connaught. We used to go down there every summer for two weeks to visit relatives. It's just so grey, miserable and depressing with the smell of cows' shit everywhere. They're always talking about the neighbours and land. It just so boring, I'd kill myself if I had to live down there.
