21 unmistakeable signs you're a Northside Dubliner at heart
1. Your house contains at least one object bought in Guiney’s
2. You know this fair lady well
If you don’t have one in your window, you definitely know someone who does.
3. You’d swear by the Guinness in The Gravediggers
4. You can name at least three shops in the Northside Shopping Centre
5. You went to the Silver Skate in Phibsboro as a kid
6. JC’s supermarket in Swords has a special place in your heart
7. Henry Street > Grafton Street
8. You know the hidden beauty of the Blessington Basin
(And how to find it.)
9. You feel obliged to roll your eyes when Southsiders say things like
Alternatively “You’re very well-spoken for a northsider!” or “I was in Clontarf once, it’s actually, loike, nice!”
10. Although to be honest, it was ages before you figured out the difference between Rathmines, Rathgar and Ranelagh
11. And the first time you were ever in Dundrum was to see the new shopping centre
You immediately thought:
12. You know where the gang goes
13. There’s no place quite like Dollymount Strand
Bonus points if you’ve surfed the ferry waves there.
14. You may not like U2, but you’re still a tiny bit glad they’re from the Northside
15. You can recite The Snapper pretty much by heart
16. You drank cans (or naggins) before heading to The Lawn
Or the Cricket Club in Clontarf:
17. You have an undying loyalty to one of the multiplex cinemas
And know which bus to get there.
18. You’re not happy that the Phoenix Park doesn’t have an odd postcode number
19. A childhood trip to town rarely involved crossing the Liffey
Boyers, Clerys, Arnotts, Roches Stores, home.
20. It’s important to you that you were born in the Rotunda
Bonus points if your dad wet the baby’s head in Conway’s across the road. (RIP Conway’s.)
21. And finally, having the most Christmas lights around your house is a sign of affluence.
NORTHSIDE FOR LIFE.
(Don’t worry Southsiders! We’ll be looking at you, our ancient foes across the river, tomorrow.)
