we don,t go around boasting like other cities that we,re the biggest or the best!!!! i think the reason why galway is now the third or whatever position it is city wise is because we have one of its "natives" living here putting a stop to our cities developments i don,t need to name names!!!otherwise we,d be ahead of everyone with major expansion of our city with retail developments and actually become a great city to shop in

surely you don't go around boasting that you're the biggest and the best because you're quite clearly neither.

...errr alot of waterford people start a argument with Kilkenny folk over the whole city/town thing anychance you get and it always comes down to Waterford is bigger/better in Waterford people's eye's....lets face it....you do boast

decies

Only good thing about waterford is the countryside spoilt with beaches,the rest is pretty rubbish to be honest ,but maybe that will change in the future.:(

hey now, just cos ya ruled scotland with an iron fist doesnt mean you can slag off our black and amber cousins(absolutely woeful jersey by the way)

i myself have a dual passport , im deise and amber handy when WE win the all ireland

SUNGOD

back on topic , what makes us different is that in waterford we have a cold meat called red lead (luncheon) and now the red dye they use is banned something to do with E.U regulations (back off brussels)so its now just called "lead" i love it

Waterford is the oldest city in Ireland.

What makes Waterford and Waterford people different? Would it be their optimism that they will win the All Ireland considering they haven't had much success apart from a few Munster Final wins? The amount of support the hurling and gaelic footballers get.

Hardly think he is the total downfall of the city, whiner that he is, the above seems to be a very parochial statement which if is the outlook of the city well !!!

The clannishness, dismal, black sense of humour, pervading sense of failure, and the cynical, anti-authoritarian word view leads to a great session/drinking culture.

You know where the Feedback Forum is, dont you? Go use it to voice your complaint. Your Anit KK jibes (funny or not) will be deleted alongside others to prevent a flame war. If you want to crack jokes, go to the Humour Forum. End of discussion .

I dont appreciate anyone coming in here trolling. The comments were in response to his comments about Waterford.

KingLoser

I think a lot of people see Waterford as an urban centre that hasn't lost it's connection with the old culture in the mass-americanisation that was the Celtic Tiger.

And then there's the others, who just think it's a hole.

well he is behind any objection to developments in the city thus the city is,nt expanding with major developments like new shopping centres and revamp of the train station that is badly needed for our city to compete with other fast expanding cities like limerick and galway!

stick-dan

Carlow is a fine town, leave it out.

Ya wanna start an inter-county war, bring all your men, we'll bring our sheep :P

Local Parish mentality. You don't see that in the other cities.

Delusions of grandeur.

Pig-ignorant driving you wouldn't even see in inner-city Dublin/Cork!

Good shopping city

People are a little dismal, air of missed opportunity or something???!!

4 years in Waterford, never liked it much, something missing.

**magnolia**

One of the last places that people are genuinely friendly and not too stuck up to be nice.

Im a newcomer (just over a year) and plan on staying

Well!! I'm new to boards, long time reader, newish poster. Would like to say I agree with the above, I have always felt that way and love that about Waterford... we have no feeling of pretentiousness or self importance. We are what we are and we can live with it and joke about it which is deadly. Also, what makes us different is our accent. Lived in Dublin for 4 years and never lost it....

Best words to say in a girlie waterford accent are... " Voucher" and "Jewellers"... (harken back to the gift grub that took the p**s out of Des Bishop workin in Abrakebabra.. "Well, Boy!")

Anyone who has a half way decent Waterford accent will be saying those 2 words to themselves, and p***ing themselves.. Honestly, sometimes I put on the accent worse than it is cos I love it so much..

Oh yeah! He used it as an element for the rap. That was brilliant! Well boy! W-w-w-well boy!

Those two words are class in a girlie blaa accent... try also "Tuesday" and "D'ya want sauwce on yer buuur-ger?"
