The welfare office doesn't give out money, the post office does...

Seems to me that people looking to sign on are trying to get to the top of the queue so they don't have to wait around.

oh yeah.

still.. signing on is not to be sniffed at!! nor trampled over

This is one of the funniest posts I've ever read. Obviously written by a pure bread scumbag. Very difficult to read as it is so illegible but basically saying Tallaght is a grand place just as long as you're not from there and find yourself there for whatever reason..then your fuc.ked.....the irony!

Fair play bumper, at least ye knackers have a sense of humour..

Feck's sake - of course most people from Tallaght are good people, only an idiot wouldn't agree with that, but you're defending the place by being threatening? Good luck with that...

Why "of course"?

I work in public transport and all the Tallaght people i've dealt with have been utter scummers.

Dudess

Because scummers are always a minority, most people are decent - wearing certain types of clothing/having a certain accent isn't enough to constitute a scummer.

hang on since when has clontarf been considered a nice place...

hobochris

Having lived in Tallaght and Blackrock, I prefer the people in Tallaght,they are nice and friendly, as apposed to the ignorant, ill mannered, ****wads I encounter on a daily basis(In this supposedly better part of the city).These supposedly superior people(in their own minds) would step over a person having a heart attack, if it meant they could get to an appointment to have the stick pushed further up their own arses a few moments sooner.

Blackrock would be a nice place to live if it wasn't for the people.

Me too.....wait....are we the same person?

I liked most of the people I knew in Blackrock. I liked most of the people I knew in Tallaght. Most people are sound enough wherever you go if you are sound to them.

I like people.

I've used a lot of public transport and most of the people operating these services in my opinion had the best part of them roll down their fathers leg.. everyone in public transport are not the same though, as a majority of people from tallaght do not use public transportation,therefor are been branded unfairly by your short sighted generalization.

Have tried to be nice to people on several occasions(I like to try to do a good deed every day; Karma), but have often been met with hostel responses on this side of the city.

I bet all the lovely people are delighted you are a spokesperson of theirs.

I find that people like yourself are far more likely to make assumptions and prejudgements about people from areas you perceive as posh/well off/whatever than the people from such areas are to make assumptions regarding you.

I wouldn't think that I have someone and their life's experiences all summed up and worked out based on being told where they are from/live, not a chance, the same applies the other way around.

Not necessarily. I know plenty of people from "rough" parts and they are ordinary decent people who would be more than willing to help out a neighbor in need instead of the uppity ****es who'd turn their noses up at people who need help.

Yeah Blackrock is a nicer physical environment than some parts of Tallaght, and there's going to be less anti-social behaviour/intimidation... but the nice people of Blackrock nicer than the nice people of Tallaght? Money doesn't make you nicer.

anyway, tala is bleeding deadly. they say that the blue bridge is like eight mile. one side is ok and the other side is like the wild wild west where people shoot at each other while on horse back.


and as for bucko, he can be seen with a plastic bag full of cup cakes at bout 8am.

lastly, you haven't lived unless you got the 77. I've seen fights, riding, people shooting up and a girl i went to school with wearing PJs because she was going to court. heard later she was jailed for 2 years.

Bit of a draconian sentence just for wearing PJs? Did they have skids in them?

So basically, if you're not from Tallaght you'll get beaten up ? Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Here, that's not fair. I lived in Blackrock for a long time and the people are honestly fine, no better or no worse than anywhere else. There's always going to be pricks but they're everywhere. I'm suprised you've had such an experience. I'm really getting fed up of this' working class/salt of the earth people are so much friendlier and more helpful than middle class people' attitude. The biggest dicks I know come Killinarden and Finglas but I'm not going to plaster the whole area's as a bunch of unfriendly arseholes as a result.

I find this sort of reverse snobbery a lot more common in Dublin than the original.

So agreed.

I'm from a pretty 'posh' area of Dublin and have, on a few occasions, come across this.
I'm in ucd and went to a party before with one of my friends from my class. She lives on the northside of Dublin and I was staying her house. Honestly, some of her friends were absolutely obnoxious to me. Constantly mimicking and slagging my accent, making fun of me, etc. We were in the taxi and I asked how much it was gonna be each and one of the girls goes "why the hell are you asking, aren't you from foxrocccck". And another girl goes (totally serious) "we usually wouldn't hang about with someone like you".

The point was though that it wasn't in a funny' slagging way. It was in a genuinely bitter nasty way and one point my friend actually took me into the bathroom and was apologising to me.
Funnily enough, it was only (of few of) her girl-friends that were nasty to me. Pretty much all the guys were really nice.

I want to point out also that I don't have a horribly 'd4' accent or anything like that.
I just thought "God, I would never be that obnoxious". And honestly, where I'm from, I don't think anyone would ever treat someone from the northside (I know i'm generalising) like that. Admitedly, they might say it behind their back (which is arguably worse), but I've never seen such outright bullying when it comes to accents/backround.
