    Whinging about Dublin whilst having no qualms taking advantage of education or employment opportunities in Dublin. There are plenty of places I dislike, unlike certain turf chewing brethern I'd never even contemplate living in any of them .

    WTF!?!?!

    I'm from Cork City. The city itself has 125,000 people and if you include the suburbs there is close to 300,000 people. Cork is far from a little town, it is a city. Dublin is bigger alright but I Cork is way bigger than the likes of Portlaoise, Killarney, Athlone, etc.

    i am sorry to inform you that, killarney, portlaoise and athlone are not cities, they are known as towns, cork, Dublin, galway,limerick, waterford have cities as the last name

    Being from Cork.

    Talking about Cork, even if no one else is.

    Thinking everything goes back to something about Cork.

    Being paranoid about whether everyone else thinks Cork is brilliant.

    Being defensive about Cork because they suspect that not everyone else thinks that.

    Don't forget - ye were all culchies once. This nations progress was fuelled by turf pulled out of the bogs by ye're fathers, and ye're fathers fathers. It's proud traditions and lore were invented at a thousand cottage hearths. I for one am proud to be what ye call a "culchie"; and in answer to your question - I like porridge, mart day, and Desirae Spencer.

    People from the country like a bit of intelligent conversation every now and again. This is impossible when talking to a West-Brit Dub who is so braindead that it doesnt even know where the IFSC is or where Grafton St is??? Get out of your pyjamas pushing your prams up and down to Spar, with your fake tan on at 10.00 am. Get a life and see the country. I swear most Dubs know more about X Factor than their own city. I have never met a dumber breed than your typical loud ignorant Dub. What is it with your scanger dress sense too. Ye are a bunch of cheap skates buying yer sham clothes in some flea market. As ye say in that knacker accent ye have "Look at de state of yis".

    The dubs foot soldiers would be all the useless skanger junkies & the bogger foot soldiers would be all the inbred kids & mutant half farm animal/half human creatures.

    Dubs would throw large hot cappafrappaigottheclappachinos & freshly used (empty of course) needles at the culchies & they would respond by throwing turf, spuds & breakfast rolls by the bucket load.

    The dubs would probably win though because of their secret weapon. Giant pictures of escalators. T'would scare the sh!t out of the bogfolk. "Jaysus lads, wat da hell are dey??? run lads run....":eek:

    I haven't. You get a chance to talk about all things good with rural living and all you can do is put down another part of the country? Boast about bigger houses and bigger gardens in comparison with Dublin?

    Have some pride in your area, point out the good and if you have nothing good to say, say nothing. ;)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,327 ✭✭✭Sykk


    They like being much more skilled than dubs in all sports, yes that includes your shítty soccer.

    Actually letting their kids out to play in a big garden rather than the 4x5 foot ones full of nettles the dubs call gardens.

    Can speak understandable English.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 124 ✭✭yeahme


    well to be honhest, I am on the look out for a new quare 'un, the one i have a the moment, well lets face it shes pinking a bit, just like when the auld MF135 blows the gasket, jaysis when shes yelling at me, she sounds like a dunnes stores bag a wailin cats bein drownded.

    1)Better at all sports? Definitely not golf (Harrington,McGinley). Boxing (Bernard Dunne being the most celebrated Irish boxer in years, Michael Caruth is an olympic gold medalist, Steve Collins is a former World Champion.) Dublin has produced the most great footballers (Robbie Keane,Damien Duff,Niall Quinn,Ronnie Whelan,David O Leary,Richard Dunne,Kenny Cunningham). Dublin Gaelic footballers are the second most decorated county in the country (22 All Ireland titles).Snooker(Ken Doherty is a former World Champion,Fergal O Brien is a Dub). Most of the big football clubs are from Dublin ( St Pats,Rovers,Bohs,Shels).

    2) You would want to have a big garden with fcuk all else to do.

    3)Understandable english? Good one!

    Whenever I see the boggers down here on a night out they always seem to wear chord trousers, or jeans with really really wide ends. As in they could fit the end of the pair of jeans over there shoes. That and shirts tucked into their jeans.

    I was also with a relative from the country once who was amazed with the double decker buses.

    All this doesnt really matter anyway, everyone from outside of this tiny island thinks of us as spud eating farmers anyway.
