    Cork.

    Without a doubt, it's the worst place in Ireland.

    I'm from there and I regard it as an embarrassment.

    The accent, people (not all of them but a significant majority), mindset, arrogance, intelligence (or lack of same to be more accurate) and average personality that can be found in the place truly makes Cork the hellhole of Ireland.

    And to paraphrase Dylan Moran, Cork stupid people sound stupider than other stupid people.

    Have you any county pride? Lacking this fundamental quality not only separates you from us Corkonians, but from all Irish! Maybe you'd be happier amongst the royals. ;)

    Your accent defines part of who you are, I'm sorry you are ashamed of your identity!

    Intelligence? Are you talking about the minority of isiots you find in every real city or the educated people of this university city? :confused:

    'The accent'... Who do you think you are... ?
    If you're from there you'll still have it but judging by your post you seem to have moved to greener pastures.

    I suppose the finest Merlots are only good enough for you now, and you wouldn't be seen dead shopping in the English market among the riff raff.

    You should be ashamed & embarrassed of yourself for that post...

    Exiles...:rolleyes:

    Spot on, that's the Cork pride! :D

    +1. My OH who has lived all her life beyond the Pale was born in the Coombe. I checked before introducing her to the parents. ;)

    I pity the fools who diss people for being from the county they are from. Obviously never been there so therefore don't know what their talking about. I'm from Leitrim and if anybody dissed me for being from same I'd tell them to fcuk off. I wish more of my fellow people would do the same. There I said it. Same goes if was from any other county TBH. The smell of ignorance is not nice TBH.

    We'll give him that one. Technically he's right. It's a long time since anyone was born in Leitrim abeit along the side of a road or something strange like that.

    Definitely Wexford.

    Everyone always starts in with that dreaded line...
    "Only two good things come from Wexford- Strawberries and 'Knackers'- and you don't look like no strawberry there love".
    Apologies for the awful line- I'm faced with it oh so very often!

    Because the bullies from the other 31 counties keep attacking us (out of jealousy)
    It's not our fault we're so much better than the rest of ye ;)

    I'm proud to be from Fingal. No one accepts it as a real county though, and that's pretty embarrassing.

    I know everyone always says cork but recently i've started to salvate over guys who speak with a deep voice and a light cork accent. Every fibre of my being knows its wrong for an entire population to put that many syllables on words....but jesus...i dunno. Its ever since I heard cillian murphy speaking....its all just so wrong...

    But ya, anyways worst county has to be, cavan for the lack of anything remotely exciting occuring there in the past 79 years. It is shaped like an ice cream, i'll give them credit for that like but....y'know, that's it really. Nothing else going for that place is there? To be fair, I'm from galway. I do have ridiculously high standards.

    Why would anyone have county pride? I mean it's not like you had any choice in where you'd be born, i can't see why you'd be proud of random chance.

    Doubly so if random chance landed you in cork.

    Clare. It's such a nothing county, not full of crime, no celebrities, not even hilariously small.


    Just nothing.

    Being born in Ireland is also chance.

    Would you say you are proud to be Irish?
