Does Roscommon even exist?

dlofnep

I've never met anybody from Roscommon.. I've never been to Roscommon. I've never even see a road sign pointing towards Roscommon. Come to think of it, I've never actually met someone who has met someone from Roscommon. :mad:

Any of you people from Roscommon? I'll need some proof.. ID, drivers license, passport.. Maybe a picture of a road sign. Chop chop.

I dont think they have the internet yet:p Come to think of it colour television might be pushing it a bit far.

If I were from Roscommon, I certainly wouldn't be admitting it either...

It's a myth.

I haven't. I've never met anybody from Athlone either. Coincidence? I think not.

Well - wouldn't they be in on the Conspiracy? I'm not saying it doesn't exist... Well, actually I am. That's exactly what I'm saying. The Roscommon forum is obviously a Government sponsored propaganda-machine.

It always seems a bit dreary anytime I'm there. The cetic Tiger seems to have left it behind.

Even their Forum is quiet.

It appears dentists and broadband is lacking in Roscommon. But that makes sense, since it doesn't even exist.

And where are you cnuts from? Clare? Galway? Dublin? Northside fcuckers thinking you're all that with your heroin and your smelly arses.

I'm on broadband in Roscommon right now you ass-smelling muthas









(note I am in no way angry at all - I just thought it would be hilarious to get self-righteous about being from Roscommon!)

But seriously....if you've ever driven from Dublin to Galway, you pass through Roscommon.

Was it Rosommon or Leitrim that got its first set of traffic lights ever last year and had a full spread in the local bog roll to celebrate?

Careful now, Stepbar will go off on one if you diss Leitrim.

O'Conor Dons - the last high-kings of ireland
Douglas Hyde - the first president of Ireland
Albert Reynolds - the man who picked up the pieces are a certain CJH nearly destroyed this country

Isn't Meath all exiled Dubs now? I've met hundreds of people who live in Meath through work, and every single one of them has been a Dub who moved out there.

fooking right too, ok here goes:

it smells
its too cold
its too boggy
fu*king farmers everywhere, everyone is a fuc*ing farmer here, the doctor, the shop assistant, the solictor, the teacher, i fu*king hate farmers and their sh*t
the roads are sh*t
the county hospital should be renamed the morgue
the nightlife in my home town sucks donkey balls

but in the end i still like the place AND our gaa fans are the best in the country (that was proved in 2006)

Mrs. MacGyver

Roscommon is so lovely some of my family left their beloved Cork to settle there! I worked there on an archaeological site last year. It is so rich in heritage like the tain bo cuailinge. the Rossies are lovely people - i even work with one. If my govt Dept. had an office there i'd decentralise tomorrow!
And yes there are traffic lights even in Castlerea!

Wishbone Ash

Why do Roscommon natives pronounce their county name so oddly?

It has 3 syllables - ROS COMM ON.....

............ but the natives usually say SCOMM ON!

Ronan|Raven

There are no traffic lights in Castlerea Well, apart from the level crossing! You worked down in Rathcroghan? Did you know they are planning on bulldozing a lot of it to make for just what Roscommon and Ireland needs , another housing estate! :mad:

thats so funny, i had a debate with a friend of mine a few years back, she said i couldn't be from roscommon because i pronounced it with 3 syllables not 2 like everyone else i guess its just the farmer family that pronounce it with 2 syllables, approx 99% of the county so

Ì'm not from Rosscommon i'm from Mayo but i gotta say bashing rosscommon is a bit harsh.
Last month two friends visited Dublin at seperate times and both got threatened with a syringe.

its pronounced Castle-re, silent A; i think the people that named the town should know better, comes from the shortened irish version of Caisleán Rí

sickpuppy

Whats with all these gimps from Dublin calling people outside of the pale boggers?
The next person man or woman i meet calls me a bogger im gonna give him or her a nice head but in the mouth.
Im great im from Dublin worlds cultural capital im 33 live at home and still suck off my mothers hind tit.
The bashing should be the foreigners those horrible hordes from the east
not our endangered species like the good men from Roscommon.
