If you’re from a country, you’re from the country..

then how come you can take the boy out of the country but you can’t take the country out of the boy?
i’m confused.

Steer clear. Unless you want to be woken by the sound of a puck around in the corrider at the 3am on a Wednesday morning.

675 euro for a bedroom in a shared house in Glasnevin is bonkers

But according to Anonanoanom as long people are available for ripping off you should rip them off.
This is Ireland.

does society exist Margaret?
Birneybau2
It either means, teachers, civil servants, human relations workers or…no foreigners.
Mikeyfex
Well spotted. If the word ‘the’ were changed to ‘this’ it would be an entirely different issue. Is it an entirely different issue? Or is it just as bad? Or is it as I see it – fair, unintentional warning to house hunters.

Human Relations?
Wha’ da
A Google gig?
Caroline
Could he not be a bit clearer about how he wants to discriminate? Is it culchies only or Irish only?
Birneybau2
How SHE wants to discriminate.
Caroline
Nope.
Birneybau2
That’s definitely written by the current inhabitant.
Caroline
Oh right. It’s just that it seems like it was written by the person who had supposedly just done up the house at great expense, listing the improvements and specifying the price for each room, and whose contact details are listed on the ad.

From ‘the country’ or from ‘down the country’?
Cleverly worded racist doublespeak probably.
Snow Queen Frilly Keane
What it means is they don’t want a Mount Anville weapon or ‘zaga Muppet

Half of them are the offspring of cousins from the country moving to the big smoke back in the day .

Topics of conversation around the table (while eating hang sangwiches) will be limited to country music and slagging off jackeens.

Whilst wearing county jersies and talking about Australia.

More specifically, talking about Bondi

see any irony?
Quint
Very accurate. That’s all we talk about down ‘the country’…that and Garth Brooks because we don’t have electricity yet.
The Insight
Isn’t Garth Brooks considered to be country music?
pa attack
can’t be anything worse than living with insular dubliners who have never left Dublin.
Same Old Guy
Fair walk from Slatterys! Doubt you’ll get too many boggers round those parts. Far too many painful memories for Mayo lodgers round there too so dont expect Crosmilina lassies :-)
Caroline
Eh, too good for McGowans, are they?
Snow Queen Frilly Keane
Not the last time I was there anyway

I’m guessing this kip is owned by a guard from Mayo hoping to fill its rooms with gullible kids from the country who have just left home for the first time.
Dubloony
No, all wrong!
It means they’ll be going down home to Mammy every weekend, so owner can have the place to themself.
Would have been easier to say Mon-Fri only.

Just call it how it is – no howiyas , no ghetto monkeys. Standard. Its an unwritten rule when interviewing new housemates
Same Old Guy
Its Dublin, place of employment for the provinces. Only the foreigners aint howya’s
illuminati16
The Other Irish are not howiyas , there’s hundreds of thousands of them . Only dubs are known as howiyas get with the slang !

No fridge, what’s that all about?
Custo
You don’t need a fridge when all you ate is shpuds
andyourpointiswhatexactly
How about the butther for the schpuds, André?
Dubloony
There’ll be no heating on so it can stay on the table like a normal house.
You could warm it up by slapping it onto the copper of the immersion !
Boba Fettucine
Mucksavage seeks similar.
Just sayin'
I’ve shared with Dubs and I’ve shared with “country” people and had considerable less hassle when living with the latter. All my bad experiences of flatmates have been with Dubs. Maybe that’s where they’re coming from?
Del McG
Maybe you just rubbed the Dubs up the wrong way by wearing your “good” wellies in the house, waffling on about that Junior B quarter final you were once a sub in & constantly asking them about road frontage…
andyourpointiswhatexactly
Ah shove it up yer hairy hoop.
Jam
Likewise. Also, a lack of inane predictable gags involving mud and potatoes and what have you as demonstrated on this thread is a great start when seeking a housemate.
Sham Bob
I lived with a ‘culchie’ once. Bridie was her name. When the wind blows in a certain way I can still hear her name….Bridie… Bridie..
illuminati16
Who could live with a dub. Their backward narrow mindedness and living with their parents deep into their 20s creates a strange mono cultural social misfit.
ReproBertie
Glasnevin is in Drumcondra now?
delacaravanio
It’s not far from it.
ReproBertie
But not actually in it being the point.
Dubloony
Best and worst experience were with Cork people. Go figure.
andyourpointiswhatexactly
The worst ones probably had parents from Kerry or Cavan or summink.
HappyDub
My mot is from Cork, her folks are from Kerry.
I hate Christmas…
andyourpointiswhatexactly
Gawd love you.
Mikeyfex
Ah it’s because they enjoy themselves with different accents. Some ball-ache alright.
Thomas
ah. Claremont Court. If you lived here you’d be home now. That was the sales pitch back in the day.
TheDude
But aren’t country gals filthy?
Lilly
The filthiest person I ever house-shared with was from the heart of D4. When I saw the state of his parents house on days when the cleaner was due, all became clear. Second filthiest was from Monaghan.
Kieran NYC
That wasn’t what he meant…
Lilly
Oh I see, he’s one of those snowflakes who think sex is durty, snigger.
Spartacus
Only if you do it right, Lilly. Only if you do it right.
Lilly
George Clooney couldn’t entice a woman to take her clothes off in that bedroom :)
Snow Queen Frilly Keane
Can I just let ye all know I’d never be able t’keep that kitchen clean.
Lilly
Mr Muscle himself wouldn’t be able to keep that kitchen clean Frilly. They’ve gone for dirty grouting as a feature.

You can’t discriminate on the basis of gender..
Bring them to the equality tribunal..
If you’re from a country, you’re from the country..
