[quote=“Thrawneen, post: 857316, member: 129”]I’m saying nothing of the sort and my mother is from Ballybough so I know what a rough area is.
I just get pissed off when people refer to Dalkey as being a place full of posh fuckers. Foxrock might be that. Dalkey certainly isn’t (except as I mentioned, the millionaires’ houses in the surrounding area). Glasthule and Dun Laoghaire were rough as fuck back in the day and there was serious drug dealing and protection rackets going on. My father worked on Dun Laoghaire main street for 25 years and he’s told me all about it.
HOWEVER, I would never ever compare the area with Summerhill or Sherriff Street or the 'mun. I’m not stupid.
In an unrelated tale, some toerag from Beech Hill threatened to shoot me on Monday night. :D[/quote]
Dun Laoghaire is an awful shithole. It’s not too far off Abbey Street with the amount of living dead walking up Georges Street. Where is the methadone clinic based Thraw? I saw a good old fashioned roaring match between two junkies yesterday outside Tesco over the lady junkie getting caught robbing a bar of chocolate from the Euro store in Bloomfields.

Two people in my primary school class were murdered before they reached 20. They did come from genuinely tough areas though whereas my area would have been a bit soft in comparison. But we did still have one of Dublin’s biggest drug lords living a few doors down the street from us.
When by fresh fruit always shop where Polynesians shop. The gluttonous nature of Polynesians means they go through food in the shop faster than other races so there is a huge turnover of stock and the fruit remains fresh

Everything is just better, fresher and bigger. Same fruits really although due to what I say above I’d eat a lot more peaches, melons and the likes. They are generally shit in Ireland, but very appetizing here
I presume it’s the old Eastern Health Board building on Patrick’s Street. I used to go there for the dentist. A truly terrifying building that has the aura of a Stasi interrogation centre. They go down and congregate on the church wall then. Harmless enough fuckers, to be fair. My mate used to work in a shelter down the end of the town. He had some stories. Some very sad ones too. Talented actors and writers turned into half-insane alcos. One of the most talented sign-writers in Dublin used go in there, he died in a fire in a house he was squatting in in Dalkey a couple of years ago. He did the signage for Goggins among many other places. So many wasted lives.
