    Why are they all culchies with terrible accents?

    Is it taught in Templemore or something?

    No, just most of the teenagers in cities and towns have criminal records, so it's up to the decent teenagers in Ireland to become Gardaí and 'protect' us.

    If by culchie you mean anyone that's not from Dublin(and Dubliners usually do mean this) then it's because you can't be based where you're from (In most cases).


    There ya go. :rolleyes:


    Seriously though, I would like to know why they all say Vehicle as Veh-hick-ell instead of Vee-hick-el

    No no no no no. I've had many an argument about that. I live in Wicklow just outside Dublin, Basically Dublin but i've been called a "bogger" and stuff and I don't have a culchie accent.

    I just mean ones with terrible TERRIBLE accents.

    Stupid Garda bashing threads, go away! Even if it was a half decent complaint but calling them all culchies is hardly a reason to sack them all now is it?

    The "hick" is since they are pissed, giving a little hiccup, I would be in my job too if I was above the law too. Actually that makes no sense, I am pissed.

    In fairness to the gaurds they know their biscuits. There's no rich tea in their places of work, it's chocolate covered hob nobs at the very least.

    It's part of the induction training and brainwashing in Templemore, I know one chap who went from his normal south Dublin
    accent to full on muck savage Garda accent faster than a patrol car on it's way to SuperMacs.

    All dubs are criminals, therefore all Gardai are not Dubs. QED.

    The guy you quoted was talking about biscuits. Jaffa Cakes are Cakes..or are they?


    And so the debate begins

    You said 'The Garda' which refers to one member of the force. If you want to talk about them in general say 'Gardai'. The only people I've ever heard using the word 'Garda' to refer to more then one, were northern unionists after the love ulster march.
