Your LEAST favourite Irish county???

Agamemnon

Oh no, they were SINGING?
They're as bad as the Nazis, aren't they? :rolleyes:

The bitterness and jealousy in this thread is very amusing. Keep it up folks!

Terry

try to keep this a little more civilised please.

Cork people, please lighten up.
everyone else, please stop calling Cork people scumbags and the like.
thanks.

I don't see the problem with Cork at all. I think it's one of the best Counties in the country. West Cork has some gorgeous scenery, especially around Bandon and Skibbereen. I prefer Galway though. Especially West Galway.

As a Clare man myself I agree with the comments made about East Clare. It's not as bad as that in the rest of the county though!

I'm not too fond of Dublin. It scares me.

If I was a Clare man, I would not be too fond of Dublin - especially with the hiding you are going to get there on Sunday.

In truth I am really looking forward to the game, the Clare fans are great.

A girl i work with was down in cork city last weekend. She was telling me they had randomers coming up to them and shouting at them to p*** off back to dublin.

As a guy from Cork (county, not city) who has lived in Limerick for the last 6 years, I get sick of defending Cork when I'm in Limerick and defending Limerick when I'm in Cork. I can totally see why this thread is up in arms about Cork though. They (Cork city folk) are way too quick to judge Limerick based on its rep even though they've never visited the place. Limerick is a grand spot, its pretty ugly in places but at least the people as a whole don't have an attitude problem or a big chip on their shoulder. Having said that, Cork has loads of merit too - pity about the prevailing attitude though.

Ahh the Dub humour, haha... right! Clare will do the job without breaking a sweat.

Back on topic though, I've only been to Dublin three or four times, and I found the city was too big for me. I'm like that though, I lived in Cork for a long enough spell and it kinda scared me too so I moved out to county Cork and liked it much better there.

I wouldn't mind living in Galway.

So can i actually.
I have to stress that i am from the county too , and i don't have much to do with the city folk as i do find them abit much most of the time, i rarely venture out in the city, but when i do i am usually with a group of friends that i stick with. I do know some city people that i get on with, but i guess its the same in every county , there's always a certain area that you couldnt be bothered with.

dr.bollocko

Yeah I guess the Cork dissing is getting awful serious. I have a loada cork friends and they are all the soundest people I have ever met. Cornbb for example.

But I have a load of cork enemies too, from work, etc. And the amount of "I love Cork soooooooooo much" **** just gets you down, the moaning about money, out for themselves mob of inner-city gutter talkers. That mob. Its just an entire goddamn county half-full of people screaming loudly at great length in a ridiculous accent.
So I guess Im saying, Cork ppl are the marmite of Ireland.

I used to live there too. For like 7 years, went to school there and all.
The place itself is nice, in reality its probably not as bad as the L's.
U know. Longford, Leitrim, Louth and the like. Places where worm-farming and ****-stirring are valid career options.
But its not longfords or leitrims fault that it sucks, it doesnt know any better,
where-as cork does and should know better!
Its just the people, that ****ing terrible accent like.
We should just obtain a court order saying that nobody born in cork is allowed speak unless putting on a hilarious (non-cork) accent.

Or we could get them vocal endocers to make them sound like daleks.
Though I dont think a dalek would ever moan and moan and moan for 14 years about the cost of a bus to bandon, or the extra 50p for a cab to town...

We should change the Peoples Republic Of Cork t-shirts to Peoples Republic In Cork. So instead of PROCs they would be a bunch of PRICs.

Thats a load of bull! I have lived in cork all my life, and i dont have a strong cork accent..never have, never will. i dont put like after everything i say. It the city people that have that accent..there's alot of us in the county too you know.

dr.bollocko

So u see, u are lucky enough to be the other part of cork. A load of my mates dont have any discernable cork accent either.
Thank god. But for those who do, do you not think that the vocal encoder would work as an idea?

I lived there for 7 years and even I had the accent leaving there.
Though every county has its own ridiculously hilarious accent to slag the hole off of.

dr.bollocko

They take it a lot more seriously u know.

*Cough*

I think you'll find that a 1/2km stretch of road between Geashill and Tullamore was recently refurbished!

Take that and stick it in your pipe!

The East Cork accent is pretty funny.. "How feaar is it to Dungeaarvan?"

Most certainly.

What's wrong with Laois?

I don't really know about my least favourite county.. If I had to choose I'd say Dublin. The accent really gets to me sometimes.. no offence to anyone.

Monaghan.
The most ignorant county in Ireland.

Westmeath is a close second.

Monaghan - I have been to Monaghan town, Carrickmacross, Castleblaney and Ballybay and found that there is a significant majority of bitter and bigoted people living there.

I was having something to eat in a pub in Castleblaney on the night of the London bombings last year and there were people cheering and clapping at the Sky News footage of the atrocities. A few of them were wearing Celtic shirts.

There is a menacing undercurrent of violence in the place.

Two other reasons to hate the place.

The obnoxious animal that is Patrick McCabe and his work of bile, The Butcher Boy with that horrible Francie guy who acted in the film.

Scum.

Anybody ever been to carlow.
Sometimes I forget it exists but i still have nothing bad to say abou the place.

Cork peolple annoy my S#*te. They come to places where noboby gives a toss about them and keep telling you how great it is to be from Caark, and how jealous you must be. Nobody cares. Fair play with the All Irelands, but who gives a f##k about minor titles? Or camoige? Nobody. Thats why nobody goes to the matches. And nobody outside of Cork looks at it as any sort of a contender for capital. There's been people on here saying they do it just to annoy Dubs. I don't like Dublin, but I don't thinks anyone in Dublin could care less about Cork. It only winds people up because they keep at it constantly. "I'm from Caark boy. Dat makes me a ligind. Ya langer. Bet you wish you were from Caark too, boy."
And Dublin. It's a great city, but why do Dubs come down the country and talk so f##king loud in pubs. Dublin wit? Everybodies laughing at you. Next time you're in a pub outside of Dublin, don't bother with the exhibition. You're been loud and annoying. Not funny. Everyone gets the jokes. It's not over their heads. They're just not funny. "Jaysus bud. Me an' de mot wer up ah' de azoo an oi said de monkey looks loike a culchie. Jaysus, I nerly shat meself laughin'. Bud."

Too be honest, I like both places. Espec. West Cork. And the middle of Dublin. Just needed to let off some steam:D

By the way. How many of the people slatin' Leitrim have ever been there? Or spent any time there? Or know many people from there? Thought not.

Sorry, but i'm almost CERTAIN that people actually DO go to the matches, you *bleep*.

il gatto

Camoige? Are you joking? Almost certain doesn't count. A few thousand in Croke Park is pathetic in a stadium which holds 80 odd thousand. Nobody cares about camoige unless they play it or their daughter os sister does. Only people who go to camoige matches are kids and family. A pathetic thing to be boasting about. Irrelevant to nearly everybody.
And what's with the name calling? That's a bit childish. I thought all this was in good humour. I thought it was full of Caark people winding up everyone else. You don't like it when ye get wound up. Do you?
