Re: There are many roads to Dublin.....
Are they one-way roads? Otherwise they should work equally well for both "to" and "from". 8)hsv_climber wrote:It seems to me that you will be taking roads from Dublin...
As a certified Boglehead, you must travel to Eire with the following in hand:
Q. Why is Ireland so rich?
A. 'Cause its capital is always Dublin.
Really bad, I know...
Happy travels.

I just woke up from a weird nightmare in which I was looking at Google Maps and there were NO roads to Dublin. There was one road going southeast from Dublin, connecting to some small towns, but it was all a dead end, not connected to anything else. There were two long, straight parallel roads going due north from Dublin, but after a while there was just a strip of white emptiness on the map where the roads should have been. They turned back into roads at some point, connecting to the rest of the country, but I somehow knew that going on those roads beyond the point where they went blank on the map would be a profoundly bad idea.

Dream analysis, anyone?

"There is more than one road to Dublin."
Taylor Larimore is the one whom says it not infrequently I believe on this board.
Basically, all roads lead to rome kind of thing, except for Ireland, which was never invaded by the legions, and where there are many roads that lead to Dublin : )
Basically, it was an attention attracting play off Larimores use of it.
http://www.dublintourist.com/maps/irela ... _map.shtml shows the current major roads.
I think the phrase was in an ireland guidebook as well. It basically comes from the fact that it is true, and has been true for quite some time as far as I know, thats all there is to it.

Going West will lead you to any destination in the East. The travels just may be far.

Re:
Is there not an intention of a "double" entendre? As in, "there is more than one road to doublin' (your net worth)"? We Boglehead adherents can all likely anticipate some manner of growth curving upward but with no exact winning recipe since we all have varied nuanced situations, means, and needs?LH wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2010 7:28 am "There is more than one road to Dublin."

This thread itself may be on the road to doublin' again, after more than twelve years of dormancy.
