    I don't particularly care for this poster, nor his posts... So, jmlad, when was it exactly you decided to move to Ireland?

    Posh D4 Dubs. They have more in common with British than the Irish.

    It reads like OP was written by a culchie/or lower working class Dub.
    No fan of D4 heads myself. My main problem with your original hypotheses that D4 people have more in common with the British.
    Merely because of thier accent and sport they follow. But many Irish people are more British than Irish.

    1) You assume and imply that all British people are upper class and posh.

    2) You assume and imply many in D4 are not raised by the more successful/intelligent culchies who migrated to Dublin for work

    3) Your theory ignores the fact that the vast majority of teenage girls in Ireland speak a variant of D4 - as they copy mid-Atlantic American speech patterns

    4) Many in Ireland follow EPL soccer and Rugby is big in Connacht and Munster. Both popular British sports

    5) All Irish people speak English so it is not just the D4's who are like the British - in that sense

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Majority of Irish bars abroad.

    There's even one near Mt. Everest in Nepal.
