Missing 1st leg of Flight, boarding Second

Hey guys,

Random Question.....
Could I miss the 1st leg of my Flight and board only at the 2nd ?
IE: I have a flight which is Dublin to LAX, via Heathrow London....

I know the rule is that, if I do not board at Dublin, then the ticket is cancelled, so my question is more of:
If by bad chance my flight to Dublin (from UK) is delayed by over 3hrs, which means I would miss my Dublin-->---LAX flight (UK to DUB = own ticket), could I make my way to London Heathrow which is where the 2nd Leg starts, and pay the difference in cost ?

99% certain will see us fly to Dublin easy peasy, and then do the flight back to the UK and onto LAX with no issues...
But I like to know what u can and cant do in the event something goes wrong (ie, long delay or cancelled flight).
If it was a case of being billed £300 per person to be able to board at London, its handy to know....
