    Thought Ashbourne was terrible. Only stayed there a couple of months.
    Everywhere else I liked.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    It's a hard one because I've lived in parts of cities which I hated, and then moved to another part of the city, and thought it was excellent. Hard to point to a place as being completely awful, although small towns/cities are much easier to identify as such.

    The town of Naas is an awful place
    Portlaoise is just as bad
    Longford town would get you down
    But **** me Kinnegad

    Thought it was an absolute dump, awful miserable drab place altogether.

    How long were you there?

    I lived in the West End for a couple of years and it was fantastic.

    I've spent time in Bratislava and Chisinau too. There's worse places but I'd agree Chisinau is pretty dull. Good wine though.

    Bratislava is a small city but great looking women!

    But I only lived in those places for a few months :)

    I absolutely loved it. Full of art, culture, music, life and the loveliest people.

    I lived near Aongus Von Bismarck always felt inferior!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,157 ✭✭✭✭Sleeper12


    I've never lived in a bad place but I've seen some absolute kips in the corse of my work in Dublin. How some landlords manage to get rent for places I wouldn't let my dog sleep in is beyond me

    No.

    But that's another dump


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Rialto/Dolphins Barn. Packed with gangs of kids that need daily public whipping.

    Castlebar. Bit of a kip, that funny mix of provincial/knackery/council estate that athlone/longford/mullingar also manage.

    Dont have a third, most other places all have an argument for them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,026 ✭✭✭✭anewme


    "new" Lucan was horribly depressing. Hated being a minority as the only Irish person on the road.

    Chisinau... is Chisinau. You kind of know what to expect with it being one of the poorest European country. Lived like a king tho!

    All 3 are quite the sh1tholes but Ardee is the best sh1thole of the lot if that makes sense

    I lived on Russell Avenue when i first got there in 2004 probably one of the worst parts of Wood green at the time, never felt safe, a lot of gangs and a lot of knives.

    Ended up moving to Islington, Holloway road after that. And i loved the place.

    1. North Miami Beach

    North Miami Beach is far out in front here. Miami is only great if you have money and I had no money at the time.

    Fortunately I never lived in a complete dive or dodgy area but my ex and I sub let a room in a 3 bed top floor apt in 2001 from a couple in Milltown in Dublin 6.

    The apt was quite nice and our room was big but the so called double bed was tiny and uncomfortable to sleep in and the couple we sub let off treated the place like it was theirs exclusively. Hogged the kitchen and living room and shrugged their shoulders when we asked for a bigger bed and for a broken shower in the bathroom to be fixed. He was Irish and his girlfriend was half German, half Polish. The smallest room was lived in by a really nice Spanish girl who was hardly ever there as she worked very long hours in a restaurant.

    They really made us feel like 2nd class people given their behaviour - having guests over and parties when we were trying to get to sleep, loud music, leaving the kitchen in a mess for us to clean up etc. The final straw was when they overcharged us on utility bills which my then OH found out about. The girlfriend turned out to be a particularly nasty bitch.

    We moved out after 5 months.

    I've only lived in three places.. Monaghan, Galway, and Hanoi.

    Some places I've lived in have been complete dives though. Even thinking about it is making me cringe.


  • Registered Users Posts: 789 ✭✭✭Beanntraigheach


    Krypton - Extremely arrogant locals, contemptuous of outsiders.

    Rigel 7 - The three suns were magnificent, but the gravity is just too strong, I felt exhausted all the time.

    Earth - Ugh, the less said the better.
