This. It's only a feckin city. you'd think they'd have better transport routes. I mean look at london. There's a few million more people and they have brilliant transport there. just grrr in general at dublin bus. used to always think how mad it is to spend something like 20 mins driving to work, but I spend an hour getting there myself now.

Er, I've crossed off all the things that you can do in Dublin. I could probably cross off more, except I'm unsure as to the availability of red lemonade in the Pale, I don't know what an accumulator is and I'm confused about the winning two extra chops thing.

About the leaving your change on the bar, you never specified that it shouldn't be stolen :pac:

And you put in mass twice, God love you They're not all heathens up there I believe!

I'll add to your now very tiny list anyway...

• Go visit landmarks which aren't in Dublin like the Blarney Stone and the Cliffs of Moher.
• Complain about jackeens (though actually I suppose you can do that quietly in Dublin

Know everyone, even ironically the travellers that come and go

Not get hassled by druggies for cigarettes/money when smoking outside a pub.

but you can get hassled by your children for cigareetes/money when smoking outside a pub coz its a small place and they know where to find you

Not really legal that one, but it is nice to be able to walk along a public a public road with my shotgun open or my rifle over my shoulder on the way to my hunting grounds with worrying about the ERU suddenly surrounding me.

You can't shoot from a public road anymore, though I know some still do it. However, it is nice to able to engage in your sport without someone either judging you or calling the cops. As if I would carry a shot gun with 32" barrels along a public road if I didn't have the correct paper work.

Whereas in Dublin you have to sneak your firearms into the house in case somebody sees you.

You can do all this in Dublin.

Borrow your husband's car while yours is in the garage and have people you don't know raising their fingers off the steering wheel at you because they recognise each other by their cars

See massive amounts of stars in the sky at night

Park four tractors in various stages of disrepair on your lawn

Leave the doors unlocked

Corollary of the previous point: walk into people's houses and roar 'hello!' from the hall instead of ringing the doorbell

Leave your back door unlocked for the neighbours to come and go

You can walk along a country road with your shotgun not in its case; but the barrels open so it is clear to all that it is safe and unloaded. Either on my way to or back from a feild I was hunting in, but I cannot do so in a high populated area, it has to be covered a case. I often see people walking on public roads in the country like that or with a pump or semi which cannot be broken open, I have an O/U so it's broken open if I'm on a public road. Though generally I would have it in a gun sock unless I'm just moving a couple of hundred meters to a different peice of land.

However, if I was to walk from my mothers in Ballyfermot with a shotgun in the open I would be lifted quite quickly, as it is an offense; and you bet people would be on their phones about the guy in combat gear walking down the road with a shot gun.

However, they may ring Joe Duffy first depending on the time of the day;)
