adios 717 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 The Dart is canny good for getting into Dublin tbs tbs, but the eireann is canny shoite. 178048[/snapback] Train every 40 minutes? GREAT. We have the LUAS now, of course, which arrived years late and caused more problems than it solved by many accounts. Taxis all the way for me the last few years in Dublin, couldn't be bothered talking to peasants and the taxi drivers are usually a good laugh.

manc-mag 1 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 That pathetic green piece of shit for an excuse of a train in Dublin is the slowest thing on Earth! I can walk faster backwards tbs tbs. Actually transport in Dublin is beyond a joke. 178033[/snapback] The DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit), aye, it's shit. We make a good go of a piss up in a brewery, but that's where we draw the line. Dublin will be a car park in a few years, and the spaces will cost more than the US national debt. Where were you in Dublin, MM? I'll give you a few routes to take on the night bus if you want the authentic skanger experience. 178043[/snapback] I stayed up near Parnell Square, mate. I reckon Dublin's alright for getting around on foot fortunately, though I'd get in a taxi if I was going anywhere near that bit near Croke Park. Rough as fucking nuts up there.

Ours was hurling abuse at the Waterford, Kerry etc 'bumkins' from his driver window. Quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5933 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 The other 2 clubs are chicago rock and studio at the top end of the front street. Both infinetly better than crocs (now gravity).

Best night out in Ireland, I reckon, although it can be rough enough. The Guards seem afraid to do anything about the gyppos. Just thought it might be the Comfort Inn, because when you book online a lot of the sites have it appear near the top, which I think's fairly funny as I wouldn't want to be some clueless Yank tourist wandering around there after dark.

I heard it was a belting night too, aswell as having beautiful scenery. Incidentally, I hope youre not from Waterford as all the girls from there looked like John Mills in Ryan's Daughter.

Bit scary, like. You can't really beat Galway. Big enough not to be totally fucking inbred, but enough circus freaks to "keep it real ", good night out, beautiful drives for hours around, fuck all to do but drink, but that's Ireland. Best looking women down there too, as long as the accents not too thick. Don't really see the attraction of Dublin, especially for English people, it is basically West Britain.

Kid Dynamite 5933 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 So what exactly is your definition of a nightclub? If it sells booze, stays open til 3am, plays music, has a dancefloor and doorstaff, to me its a club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face it, it's a bar with a late license. Anyway, you don't get pissed so your opinion of what constitues a club or not is null and void Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
