Top three worst places you’ve lived.

corks finest

Carrigaline, carrigaline,and guess what carrigaline, barking dogs,barking tenants,litter louts,noise pollution,and currently my neighbour who has his 60/70 cider empties all in a row in the back garden,what a ****ehole

Can't say I've ever lived in a crap place, but the abject poverty and the heartbreaking and very open child prostitution - I still shudder at the images of white male adults walking around hand-in-hand with young teenage Cambodian girls - I witnessed in Cambodia brought home to me how even the worst possible place in Ireland is a heaven compared to the horrors happening in other places in our planet.

Grand Cayman??!! How?! Why?!

Sunshine is not everything..

It attracts ****ty people, I found it difficult to make real connections there.

Trigger Happy

I have only really disliked on place that I have lived.
Phibsboro. I was on low wages and lived in a bedsit there for a few months. Was so happy to be able to move out.

At the time it felt like a suburb for those that had lost hope. Other people loved it there though.

kal7

Tripoli, Libya ( was ok when I was there though I am told and I was only 2 and 3 years old)

Notting hill, london

Not really got a third be lucky maybe Shantalla, Galway. Mainly bad landlord and house, area just felt depressing.

When I hear the word culture I reach for my shotgun.

My idea of culture mind is a decent cinema and a good band scene and beautiful buildings.

Bialystok in Poland.

Ireland.. p*xy Pope

Sgt Hartman

Whitehall Dublin 9: The area was good but the shared house was a nightmare. The junkie who robbed my food and DVDs was replaced with a disgusting alcoholic. I was delighted to get out.

Skerries: Live in landlady was a pain in the hole. Lovely town but 90% of the population of Skerries seem to be 40 something middle class commuters. I had little in common with anyone there. I certainly don't miss having to get that bloody train in the mornings. The town was practically depopulated by the commuters in the morning and repopulated in the evening.

I lived in a few places but only one tops the bill. Portsmouth in south England. Unfriendly, ugly, anti-immigrant and very entitled as a population.

I lived in Iraq from 85-86. Blanch from 2009-2011.
Blanch was definitely worse.

Ah lads, Blanchardstown is not that bad at all, especially since pubs and off licences no longer sell Harp. You have a lot of life to see if you think that place is bad.

+1 on Dundalk though, definitely had it's challenges, but we shouldn't be trying to beat each other down; lots of good honest god fearing people in Dundalk, and lots of young kids looking forward to a better future. If you keep laughing at them, you ostracise people.

Many parts of Tralee were **** in 1989, mostly down to the knackers
Dolphins Barn was grim when I lived nearby in 1990, gang of 14 year olds throwing stones from the roof of the flats at cops and fire brigade who came around for a car fire that they started
Limerick in the early 90's was **** as well

You've noticed Bluebell has a church but no graveyard , they eat their dead

I may have family living there.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Kreuzberg, Berlin.
Possibly Cergy-Pontoise outside Paris, although it's a nice place. Just boring and too far from Paris to go for an evening out.
Mayo. Had some lovely friends but it was ruined by some very backward-thinking and sadly powerful ****wits.

My sibling lives there, or thereabouts. Nothing very memorable about the place but nothing terrible either.

I beg to differ and it seems like a lot of other feels the same way about the place. I only stayed there for 10 months and was happy to get away from there. Had a few run ins with teenagers and just never felt safe. And boy during Haloween was it dodgy as hell..
