We were the only ones shitting ourselves laughing on the bus

Oh and on the way back there was a scumbag with his face full of blood, getting the shit kicked out of him by Gardaí and thrown into the back of a Garda van.

Culchies crack me up. :P

Ballinasloe horse fair?

To be fair, wander down to Smithfield on whichever Sunday of the month it is, and you'll see similar scenes, including disgraceful cruelty, unstopped by any Dubliner or passing garda.

Walk into the local pub and have three or four auld fellas ask each other out loud , "Who's that fella?" , "What , Who is he Martin?" , "Jim Nolans young fella , aye , married one of the bunny Byrnes young wans" , "Tall isn't he, sure the Nolans were all tall men" etc , etc and then talk out loud about your family history while all you can do is say "Howya lads!!". Prob happens in some city\town pubs too but I've only ever experienced it rurally.

Most likely the Ballinasloe(Galway not Clare lawl) horse fair...... it's a bit rash to compare a scumbag to a culchie , no ???
Also is'nt a horse fair a traveller tradition (pardon my ignorance if not ) ??I just thought that's were they go to meet their future other half :rolleyes: romantic!

lalee17

Yep it was possibly Ballinasloe

I'm not saying culchies are scumbags; people from Dublin (or any other part of the world) can also be scumbags

City-based people can also trade in horses and get thrown in the back of a police van.

No I wouldn't. The fact was it was a horse festival in Ballinasloe, which in my opinion is pretty boggerish.

The guy with blood on his face only added to the hilarity.

I have to say this is a classic conversation. Haven't stopped laughing since I read it. "...married one of the bunny Byrne's young wans"... "Tall, isn't he, sure the Nolans were all tall men" - heh!

But does that not make you look like an utter moron? horses need saddles. People buy saddles. I bet plenty of saddle buyers were rich, too, as horse owners tend to be rich. That would certainly be the case in England.

So basically

1) Country horse owners, probably rich, are in field buying saddles.
2) Proles from Dublin on bus - of course - find this funny.

Thats what we have here? Thin gruel.

It does the show the difference between England, and Ireland though. ( I grew up in both).

A few london proles on a bus driving past people at a horse fair in the Cotswolds would feel class envy, not some kind of unearned superiority.

True, but a there's different clientele at those events in England.

Anyway I was at the fair as well!

When I was around the skate park in Limerick city centre there were these people gazing up at a hotel by the river saying it was so big haha.

And when a friend of mine who emigrated from Lagos went to Tipperary town on a day out got asked about his skin colour, he wasn't very happy...hehe

I don't think knackers count as culchies cos most knackers are urban and culchies don't live in caravans and attack people..(usually)

Dublin people are historically undernourished. That's why they are on average much shorter than the rest of Ireland. Food poverty has been an ever present constant in Dublin peoples lives. Even in the Celtic Tiger era food poverty was an ever present. It is also not class conscious. The 'd4 heads' are equally neglected in the food department as their lesser off brothers and sisters.

In the tenement times, post famine 1870's to 1950's Dublin people were massively malnourished. Jugs of porter and pigs cheeks were not uncommon to eat. Culchies always had a field of spuds and assorted vegetables. Dubs had not. The same rang trune in the Celtic Tiger era, crappy mothers and fathers too busy keeping up with the jones force feeding the weans on processed boxed ****e.

paddypowder

no offence but i think some dubliners can be really stupid looking when it comes to culture.

one might even say they can be very uncultured when compared to "country" people.
certain dubliners often attempt to imitate what they percieve to be "big city" attitudes.. i feel embaressed for them... ive had relations over from the states that are also puzzled by the attitude.

anyway its a minority.. the majority of dubliners are nice people.



might aswell answer the op.. even though i am a big culchie myself

the most culchie thing i ever seen(heard) was just outside limerick city...a guy sprinting across a building site to look at a tractor.. not 2 bad.. but then he turns around to everybody looking at him and says "jayysus... thats shum yoke... shum fecking massy bah"

LOL! What brought him down there? Was he expecting Ireland's answer to San Francisco or something? I'm going to call it as your fault LoganRice for not warning your friend . Even if you are white, the Tipptowners will still gather around you asking you 20 questions if they don't know you.

Morrigin

I'm a culchie myself. Was at the ploughing championships with my other half recently, left him looking at a milking machine while I went to browse the stalls. I came back an hour later and he's still looking lovingly at the same milking machine. He looks up at me and says "Jaysus, it even checks for mastitis!"

Misanthrope

Stick their hands down the air intakes of a Ferrari 308 in Killarney

It made me wonder what a culchie would use said intakes for if you gave him the car.Emergency spuds maybe?Drying socks?
