How is it for you?

Personally (and i wish i could say otherwise) i don't like it so much. Huge amount of bad vibes going round these days. Or is it just me?

I don't think I could ever live in Dublin. I was in Dublin for a weekend in July. It was the first time I had been out there in years.

Country life is in my blood. I have to be able to find quiet, open spaces, just to be able to stand, look and enjoy nature.

I don't think I could live in Dublin again..and I'm a dub. Best decision I ever made was to move to the country.

It's a fine city but the traffic congestion would put me off.
