the Capitol city of Ireland.
located on the east coast, Dublin was originally a viking, then Anglo-Saxon port, because places like Dun-Laoghaire make ideal natural ports. the name comes from the Gaelic 'dubh linn' meaning black lake.
Dublin is home to almost half the 4.8 million people living in Ireland.
Dublin is traditionally divided into the more affluent south, and less affluent north sides by the liffy river.
notes for visitors:
Temple bar, in the middle of Dublin city has the best night life.
Defontain's in temple bar( on the right as you exit the allyway through the central bank) has the best pizza you will ever eat.
An Irish folk band formed in 1962. Their members are Barney McKenna, John Sheahan, Sean Cannon, Eamonn Campbell, andPatsy Watchorn. Ronnie Drew was the founder of The Dubliners, but passed away in August of 2008. The Dubliners are known for their traditional Irish music usually performed in an Irish setting. They are one of the best known Irish folk bands around. Do not confuse The Dubliners for The Pogues, another Irish band led by the incredible drinker, Shane MacGowan.
guy 1: "Hey, did you hear The Dubliners perform live on Vicar Street?"
guy 2: "No, why?"
guy 1: "Here's some tickets, go see them. They are Fantastic!"
Person from dublin. Northsiders need not apply as they are usually all sucmbags. Also that gerry88 person can fuck off back to ballynacabbageandturnip or wherever he came from. Southside is the good place to be. e.g Foxrock D6w and killeney.
Southsider: Those northside scumbags shouldnt be allowed have kids unless they make mopre than 50 grand a year.
Some people have a terrible view of the superior North of this county, though some of it is filled with scumbags and knackers, not all of it is, and it does contain some rich-arsed areas. Like where I live. While the South, too, has scumbag areas. Like Tallaght.
But overall, Dublin is the greatest place in Ireland to live. It is the only civilised part of the island, all the rest is filled with useless boggers.
Dubliners are far superior to everyone, and everything in the world. (Except those scumbags, who should be kicked off this island)
A person from Dublin (in Ireland) no difference between north or souhsiders because you can't judge people from where they live!
(not everyone in dublin are "wankers"!!)
A specific breed of Irish person that vary from place to place.
Are incredibly defensive of Dublin, (for obvious reasons, everyone seems to dislike Dubliners?) Even though most can be 'dead sound' or 'a legend'
In the northside, typically, you are more likely to come across the tracksuit, 45 degree caps, runners types "Here yooou! Giz a fookin fag or sometin!"
And the southside, 80% of the time you are more likely to find, the preppy 5 stone guys and girls, that daddy buys everything for, the 'I just fucked this up' hairstyle that took 4 hours, rudgy, ponies, cars, OMG!
But it is not uncommon to find posh places in the northside and skanger places in the southside, Ballybrack + Shankill for example. These poor people have to live with the stigma of technically living in the southside, EVEN THOUGH daddy cant buy them a break my windows (BMW)
#1: Like OMG hi! A Dubliner! Roish where abouts are you from
#:2 Eh, the southside (wtf is wrong with yer hair? Were you dragged backwards through a bush?)
#1: OMG!!!! Loike me too!! How many ponies and BMW's do you have???
#2: None? My dad cant afford to buy me a pony right now? I have a nice little Toyota though?
#1: a Toyota?......loike, what is wrong with you? Thats what people in the third world drive? Omg! Where did you say you were from again?
