The Express

The Country MILF: Hubbie normally has a shop in the town or is a sales rep. Meanwhile his tasty missus with her blonde highlights takes care of their 5 bed stonefronted house, bringing the lads to hurling, coffee mornings and anything else locally to pass the time. Always drives either a Santa Fe or Passat. Always.

There's one in every country town.

Our town is full of them. They can also drive a range rover . . .if they are very well off.

Young ones knocked up in, walking round in their pyjamas and lads called "Damo" riding horses while listening to skanger style rap on their way to pick up their social welfare.

The Hills wannabes on buses playing music down the back and starting every sentence with ro....ight and their Leinster jerseys covered in last nights mistakes!!

Oh wait what are we talking about again

amazing how fast these two threads have turned into a dublin vs the rest of the country thing. why is their such a divide? dublin boasts about what it has, the country begrudges them. the country points out dublins faults even though the same faults can be seen all over ireland.

We're not that diefferent from one another people!!

an italian takeaway even in the smallest village
packed pubs at 3pm on mart day
packed pubs at 3pm on dole day
disco on saturday night which brings people from all over the parish to fight
lads ordering curry chips and a pint of milk in the takeaway
junkies replaced with crazy folk

There seems to be at least one thread every week. You'd swear we were different races and that racism was cool as long as you kept it in the family as it were.
Ah now, most of it is tongue in cheek and a bit of a laugh, but you'd have to wonder about some posters, seem to be clearly delusional and are no doubt the type who never spent more than a week away from home

Well in me own experience it was often the people from rural areas that highlighted the fact that i was from dublin and in fairness things like the shaking the rapists hand (even the local priest shook his hand) would mainly happan in small areas.

I have nothing against a bit of cuilche though as i say i love cuilche women especially mullingar gals!

In her victim impact statement, the woman spoke of being “judged” in north Kerry, but said she was not sorry for telling the truth. Everyone in Listowel knew who she was, despite the press respecting her anonymity, she said.
“Even though my name has never been mentioned in the press, Listowel is not a big town and everyone knows it’s me,” the woman said. “I feel as if people are judging me the whole time. I’ve been asked by people I know if I am sorry for bringing Dan Foley to court. I am not sorry for it. All I did was tell the truth.”


theres my problem with small insular communties anything that affects the status quo of the community is considered bad, this women was a raped and locals asked if she was sorry? they had to ask that?

yeah that was f*ckin terrible. But it was an incident where a few gombeens were involved.
It doesn't mean everyone the other side of the M50 is likely to do the same

Just like not everone from dublin is inclined to take part in riots against the love ulster parade

yea true that! i just think its a danger of communties being too insular which could easily happen in dublin. some peopele in ireland (dublin and country) hold backward views on communtiy supporting the chirch blindly being one of them, i seen it first hand and just sickens me.

Tractors parked on hills.

Herds of cattle all facing the same direction.

Bags of rubbish/large appliances dumped in drains and ditches.
