I was reminded of two important lessons this morning.

1. Getting Irate about red light jumping idiots is just distracting from my own safe conduct on the road.

2. There's no guarantee that a Range rover indicating in the same direction as the two equally ridiculous SUVs in front of it will be making the same (or any) turn.

Must try harder.

The only thing damaged was my credibility for my planned scolding of the designer coat wearing dutchie riding rljer who I had passed 7 times already.

Will be more zen in future.

The north inner city is still reasonably priced.

Mind you, you'd need a sandblaster and some elbow grease to gentrify it.

The words you are looking for are flamethrower and Sarin gas

eeeee

Ah leave the north inner city alone, I have several friends in studios and living there and they're fine. A little 'exciting' sometimes, but fine

Reasonably priced is surely down to individual opinion & finances. Having had to look for new accomodation the last couple of weeks, I can't say I agree. At least not for the standard of many properties (this for example) is awful. That said, I have seen numerous nice places too, but they are gone so quickly it's tiring sometimes.

Perhaps by "north inner city is still reasonably priced" OleRodrigo meant buying the whole north inner city in one lot.

I'm a proud survivor of three years among the Orcs myself.

I've long since realised my hair won't be growing back and let it go gracefully, though I can make the occasional absurd statement.

That said, I do like North Inner City in many parts. There's a lot of good places here (plus its where I work)

I'll see your three and raise you fifteen.

I quite like living on the North side of the city - Here three/four years now, and lived intermittently on both sides of the Liffey for 7/8 years previously. Always preferred the... 'texture' of Stoneybatter/Phibsboro/Drumcondra than anywhere in the even numbers.

You're weird, you know?

As a culchie it amazes me massive divide/rivalry in Dublin. I know it's all a bit of craic mainly, but I do know southsiders who avoid going north side and visa versa, and mad judgements about each other, it's hilarious. It's all the one town/city!

I've lived north and south over the last 13 years and I have no particular grá for either. It's comfy on the fence. There's popcorn sometimes :P

As a fellow culchie who has moved about a lot, there is no real divide. It's no different to all the divides that exist in many cities and countries. Watford gap for example.

Naughty North & Sexy South.

I'm very aware

I've lived in the rough and the all-too-nice of the south side. I'll take a decent local, Phoenix Park a Km away and the North Quays over the other side of the river any day.

Only regret is I'm half knackered on the bike from traffic by the time I get to the Wicklow mountains when I want them.

For the record, also a culchie blow in. Was sent to Dublin to learn culture and couldn't return.

Ah poor hipsters, they get such a hard time. I have no beef with them, People be people and there are a lot worse they could be. It does annoy me that I can't live near town because of them though :mad: (although as an artist I suppose we kind of kick start the problem)

You do live near town though.

And an even bigger difference between the North County and the 'Northside'.
