Visited it for the first time on Saturday and was really impressed by the place. I never went into Dublin, we got picked up at the airport and taken to a seaside town called Rush, about 30mins north. One of the highlights of the day was when my missus said, "Well there's no rush." and I swiftly retorted with, "Yes there is, you're in it." <dejazzero> All round it was a great place to visit, great pubs, amazing grub, and the people were spot on. Think we're heading back there in the summer when there isnt an easterly wind to cut yer face off.
of all the Irish i met in Oz i much preferred the northerners, even the fenians, infact i never met any loyalists. at least you can get old firm banter with the northerners, the southerners are bigotted ****s
I didnt think it was that expensive, although I'm used to Leeds city centre prices and I was in a wee town outside Dublin. Too true about the people though, we were over visiting a mate who had a bad accident over christmas. Some of his friends from another town were meeting up too and right away they were coming out with banter. People you could easily get pished all night with
They were GAA guys, and the bird in their crew just sat there enjoying having really nice tits. So football never came up.
if I see another GAA top ****in rid neck!!!! here's the irish rig out - lonsdale gutties, stonewashed flairs, GAA top or polo shirt with collar up
Arsenal v Leeds was on the telly so it did kinda come up since my missus is sadly a Leeds fan but we never interrogated each other on what team we supported.
Dublin is a ****in rip off, i go there a lot thro work I much prefer Cork people in Cork are a lot friendlier than Dublin, however I think Belfast beats both for banter, atmosphere, venues etc. Even the tarriers in Belfast are nicer than the folk in Dublin!!!
Never been, got jewed out of a stagger/general piss-up in Dublin in 2007 because of offshore again. Heard there are quite a few Irish in Ireland though. Is this true?
I was in Lanzorote there for Ne'er and there were these 2 couple from NI arguing about religion and priest and the police pissed at 3 in the afternoon, obviously they were from different sides of the divide. I seriously could not be arsed with all that ****e. ****ing inbreed ****s. We done some work for a company called Gilbert Ash from NI, and we were getting on well until they found out I was a Rangers fan and then the ****s started blanking me! ****ing arseholes
Theres little work in Ireland, especially in the Rep. We priced an ASDA in Crumlin Road at ÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆÃ¢â¬Â âââ‰âÂ¢ÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬à ¡ÃâÃÂ¬ÃÆÃ¢â¬Â¦ÃâÃÂ¡ÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦ÃÂ¡ÃÆÃââââÂ¬Ã Â¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡Ãâã270k, 15% mark up, and lost it to an Irish mob who priced it a ÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆÃ¢â¬Â âââ‰âÂ¢ÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬à ¡ÃâÃÂ¬ÃÆÃ¢â¬Â¦ÃâÃÂ¡ÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦ÃÂ¡ÃÆÃââââÂ¬Ã Â¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡Ãâã210k. That's what the ****s do, they go in stupid and squeeze the subbies until they break! There's a builder called Grahams and they are famous for it, if you do an extra, you need to submit the price on the same day or they won't pay it! The whole industries ****ed, I'm thinking of pulling in my cash and doing a bunk to Oz. Obviously I won't but that's what I want to do.
****e time to be in the construction game EDGE. Two mobs in Sheeptown went under this week. My mate is a brickie and he's had **** all work for a while now. To be fair he's a fat, lazy useless bastard though and I suspect his name is at the bottom of a lot of lists.
