I Love Limerick

With all the doom and gloom slithering about, I thought it would be a great idea to start a thread about something you love about Limerick. Anything at all, even the homeless guy playing the accordion down by Cruises Street - such an inspiration.

Anyway everything's appreciated and remember the phrase 'I Love Limerick'. :pac:

No offence Neo, and I mean no offence....

But this is like the 400th such post on here about the same thing......

Have a look thru the history, you will find loads of similar threads

Just ressurect one of them

Regards,

Liam

I know, I know but the Limerick section is seriously depressing, seriously! I felt compelled to inject some happiness into the place. :pac:

Isn't the issue of Homelessness and Homeless People out trying to eke a living while you head Home to drink beer and watch TV depressing more than inspiring?

Something I love about Limerick? That should be easy... Hm... Er... Drawing a blank, actually.

I love Limerick because, because I will think of something give me a second oh have it I love Limerick because it is not Dublin

Match days in Thomond Park.
The optimism when our hurling team play anyone.
When you go out you always meet someone you haven't seen in ages.
Donkey Fords.

just 4 off the top of my head

How pathetic :rolleyes:

LOL I don't think he is actually homeless. He seriously has recorded an album so he is my hero. But if he is genuinely homeless, then a revolution is beginning in our world.

First homeless people fulfilling dreams and recording albums, God even Tiger Woods staying faithful is possible. :pac:

I appreciate your difficulty when even the roads out of it are such a mess.

OK Your stretching it with Offaly. A certain large politician hails from that cursed area.

Limerick is a grand town !

neo2010 · 31-12-2009 3:04pm

It's actually a city, albeit a small one.:D

zuroph · 31-12-2009 3:07pm

neo2010 · 31-12-2009 3:10pm

Well if you are going to breed in Limerick City it must really help to love the People in it

If they're a woman. Otherwise a penis.

On a more positive note - how about all the talented people Limerick has bred? Richard Harris, Terry wogan, Frank mcCourt, Paul O'Connell etc?

I'm doing a picture of him as part of a project on a "possitive Limerick", I dunno will it be my final work though, I'll see how it goes, have to get a picture first I haven't seen him in awhile

Yes but when we're born we all come out of the same opening. :pac:

I met some bloke last evening who went to Limerick last Summer (09) and thought it was fantastic. Other than that, he's never been to Ireland.

I had to wonder: has something changed, in which case it would be next to a miracle.
Or what kind of misery had the poor guy grown up in that could possibly be even worse than Limerick.

Frank McCourt was born in Brooklyn, New York, not in Limerick.

But Steve Finnan was born in Limerick, and Richard D James (Aphex Twin) was born in Limerick as well.

Jimmy Carr, long thought to be London born of Limerick parents, muddied the waters a bit by saying on the Graham Norton show last month that he is actually Irish born in Limerick, so if there is truth to that we can claim him also.

Plus we have the Cranberries, with the exception of Steve DeMarchi, hailing from Limerick.

thats what i'm on about that optimism. Even though we haven't a hope if we sent out 30 lads we still think ah sure we might

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy · 01-01-2010 5:36pm

Gerri May and your one from Six who's on the Den now, they're both from Limerick arn't they? And wasn't the band Zoo from here? he brought out a single with Poison on it. Sorry if I'm wrong there.
