As opposed to Dubs without shoes?

Sorry for their troubles? :pac:

Damn Dublin and its lack of footwear! If only those poor Dubs could afford shoes, they could go live in new world paradises like Greystones or Naas....

This thread doesn't even work at the most basic level of insults.

Wicklow has a wonderfull give/take relationship with Dublin.

Wicklow gives Dublin its water supply.

And in return Dublin gives Wicklow its medical & domestic waste to dump in our countryside!

We also have competitions with Dublin to see who which county can have the scumiest accent on the east coast!

Sea Sharp

They're muck savage knackers who copied our accent!!!

Thats why they call him Hosannah in the Hiace.

sensibleken

you see the thing about jokes or insults for the sake of humour is that they should take some aspect of the people your insulting and exagerate to humourous levels or twist in such a way to result in humour.

You got it wrong.
You might aswell have said 'are they dubs without space rockets'

Population Increases in each of the counties.

1986-1996 (Pre-Housing Boom)

1996-2006 (During Housing Boom)

Meath

'86-'96
+6,000

'96-'06
+54,000

Kildare

'86-'96
+18,000

'96-'06
+52,000

Wicklow

'86-'96
+7,000

'96-'06
+24,000

Massive increases in both Meath and Kildare suggest an awful lot of inward migration, probably a lot of it from Dublin people priced out of the market during the late 90's/early 00's.

Both counties had previously experienced significant inward migration from the West of Ireland and had relatively sizeable populations from the '70's onwards.

As for Wickla, not so much it seems.

*No stats available for shoe ownership among said migrants.

They're similar but not as pale.

Thread had potential and the opening statement fell on its face.

I work in a call center so i deal with people from all over the country.A huge percentage of peoiple in said countys have Dublin accents.One fella in kilcock,Co Kildare dident even know what county he was living in,when he was verifying his adress he said Co Meath.

baltimore sun

much like people in Liverpool are just paddies that could swim? :rolleyes:

veryangryman

Been to Naas many times - have NEVER met a local who was born there...

So perhaps the OP is not the crackpot we thought...

What you did there, I see it.


I'm from Meath and I have several pairs of shoes. I moved to Dublin though.

Bray,Greystones, Leixlip, Celbridge, Maynooth, Naas and much of Meath are essentially part of Dublin, so the borders should be redrawn.

Naas is an absolute dive, full of ignorant working-class yobs and is a festering ulcer of Leinster, therefore I think it should forthwith be amalgamated with Tallaght as it makes no sense to have two such similar places in the same province.

Metallitroll

wouldn't surprise me if there's a greater dublin.. i feel its somewhat overrated :eek:

to an extent of course they are. they be where a lot of my old pals moved to, so i can only imagine pal's pals, n of course who could forget, pals of pal's pals

coolperson05

They're just wannabe Dubs! Who say they're goin to 'town' but town is a 15euro return train ticket for an hour! Lucky them! :rolleyes:
