Metropolis, ah ah, ???????

Metropolis – it’s just another word for the capital city of a country or the chief city of a province or region. The term is as applicable to Dublin as it is to New York, Harare, Riga or Edinburgh.

O’Connell St is the widest street in the world??? Don’t make me laugh – sure we all know it’s South Mall in Cork!!!

shop street in galway…ha,ha

Metropolis – it’s just another word for the capital city of a country or the chief city of a province or region.

Wake up and educate yourself about the world and broaden them narrow little minds of yours.

You appear to be the narrow minded one who doesn’t know his ass from his elbow in terms of the concept of metropolis.

What does ah ah mean?

weren’t dey a band from the 80’s

all right, Sean, calm down, calm down………

Hey Sean – if you’re going to post a rant about ‘stupidity and ignorance’ in future, it may be more effective if you learned to spell first.
Fair enough, you got ‘metropolis’ right once out of several attempts, but next time you might want to run a spell check over delusions of ‘grandure’ and ‘tunnell’. And ‘Manilla’. And ‘Shangai’.

Just a thought.

Ah ah… Isn’t that Alan Partridge’s catchphrase?

for europe !!!!!

Was that said on The Den? 🙂

u do know what they say about sausages and o’ connell street.

Please, elaborate

A great Dublin expression FIN,” like flying a flag in space ” is another.

hmm.

I am inclined to believe in a federal ireland, as well, to a limited degree; but if I have to side with semi-literates who can’t spell, use ‘u’ instead of you, and say “I be at work”, I demur.

In any case Sean you find that the thread you started so inarticulately mentioned that it made you laugh that Dublin was considered a Metropolis. Turns out it is.

Makes you feel stupid? It should.

i just couldn’t be arsed spelling out ‘you’ is all. sorry if it offends…as for a federal ireland i definately wouldn’t like to see that. i know some local councillors here and actually giving them some power would not be a good thing.
