    Pride in the local community. Looking after those around you. Keeping an eye on someones house when their away in case some skanger from dublin is down to rob the place.

    Having a pint and thinking how can people be so stupid to pay over 5/6 yuroes for a pint. Fecking eejits.

    Peace and quite.

    If the guards are doing a checkpoint everyone phones everyone so everyone knows :D

    Walking in to a Garda station to see them sitting drinking tea or playing cards.(or no one there at all!)

    Traffic jam on Sunday morning because of everyone going to/leaving mass.
    Fellas in the pub after mass having a pint.

    Wherever you go,you will always be offered tea,even if it's 25 degrees out.
    The council doing something on the roads.
    Someone in the shop complaining about the council.

    Hay and sh!te all over the roads when the weather is good for farming.
    Young fellas in their 96 corollas and golfs "racing" on the backroads.

    If you see everyone taking a back road instead of the usual main road,there's a Garda checkpoint ahead.

    Cows on the road.
    Some old men with no mechanical experience trying to fix a tractor by any way possible.

    My local "bakery" is a sandwich shop,where tayto rolls with slabs of butter are very popular.

    13-16 year olds driving around.
    Loads of people with no tax/insurance.

    Huge fires in fields around this time,casting the whole area in a cloud of smoke.

    A few local nutjobs,one who goes around in a pest control jacket,always carrying a 6 pack.

    Some fellas driving tractors/their fathers jeeps to school,with about 10 other fellas loaded in the back....and maybe even the odd honda 50 if you're lucky,unfortunately,Catherine Lynch made it look like we all owned honda 50s down here.(The fact there is a honda 50 in my shed means nothing!Nothing!!)

    Best one I've ever seen :
    A man driving a tractor,with his wife in the transporter on the back with the shopping!

    Oh oh,one of my favourites:
    People getting lifts in trailers and nearly everyone knowing how to drive a tractor by the age of 13.

    Dirty auld Farmers.
    Fly infested homes (attracted to the farmer's smell)

    Pub, Post office, Petrol station, takeaway, newsagents.

    Sh1te on the road, grass down the middle, hairy arses. Men with hair styled by saliva instead of gel or wax. The smell of menopuase among the women.

    Old men who comment on the weather with the line "It's soft". My cousin who has lived in the city all her life was visiting one weekend, went for a walk, met old Patjoe as above, who of course in greeting said, "its Soft". She came back and told everyone we had a pervert living in the village :)

    The reason why they bring their own sandwiches is that Dubs are the only ones thick enough to fork out anywhere between €3-€5 for a bit of protein slapped between two slices of bread & butter. ;)
