I protest your objectionMany reasons. The sheer scale of it was a big one.
Yep. Our last lunch was in a small square in a neighbourhood on the outskirts of the airport. Started getting palpitations as there was not one, not two, not three, but FOUR patisseries to be seen from my seat.Feels far more of a livable city than Dublin.
The cash machine comment was so no one else kicked upDifficult to NOT compare any city you visit to Dublin. Dublin generally comes out badly.
Although on my last bus journey from the airport a group of three British tourists got on and tried to pay with card. "cash only" said the driver. Huge disappointment on their faces (we'd already been waiting the guts of an hour). The driver says "get on and I'll stop at a cash machine".
An hour later at their destination they were getting off the bus in Navan and one of them questions the driver, how will we pay? Driver just gestures for them to get off and forget about it.
You're in Ireland now, I thought.
That "ah sure go on" attitude is what we love and hate about this country.
Should be written in stone somewhereDublin City is a shithole
In Paris people are immaculate. You don't see a scuffed shoe or a frayed trouser or a split end. Even the skangers and the homeless look chouette. The first thing you notice in Dublin is the lack of attention to clothing and hair - but that's to do with individuals' financial status more than their own standards and is really not their fault. The second thing you notice is the grime and lack of upkeep of the city.
Berlin too. I thought I had invaded the set of a Netflix show. Everyone was beautiful.Bordeaux is nice but hot and full of mozzies.
Coming back from France or Germany or even Spain the first thing you notice is how downtrodden Dublin is. In Paris people are immaculate. You don't see a scuffed shoe or a frayed trouser or a split end. Even the skangers and the homeless look chouette. The first thing you notice in Dublin is the lack of attention to clothing and hair - but that's to do with individuals' financial status more than their own standards and is really not their fault. The second thing you notice is the grime and lack of upkeep of the city. I'm not sure if this is to do with the "ah sure" culture so much as the back-of-brown-envelope style hemorrhaging of capital by avaricious people who think nothing of the penetrating value of beauty or elegance. Though maybe we need more rigorous individuals in public regulatory positions. You'd wonder why this is not the case as there are plenty of these types in the private sector, in my experience.

He's hated in the council. Apparently the guy who would have taken over from him is decent, but with Keegan extending his tenure, that lad got pissed off waiting and took retirement.
