Find a big-hipped, plain faced, too much makeup-wearing, tight jeans-wearing, GAA-jerseyed, cowboy-booted, pot-bellied woman attractive!

I used to get so scared when I worked in a pub and someone asked for it, cos it meant they were from the *cringe* Midlands. Scariest accents in the world! Why do Midland folk always sound so angry?? WHY??

Pronouncing the word Brilliant as ....
"Brill-unt"

Mighty ...
"My-tay"

And Tremendous as ....
"Tre-men-jus"

The only time these words are uttered in this fashion in our fair capital is when Ger Loughnane is in Croke Park for the Sunday Game.

Also. Pronounce commitee as "com'etae"

Yes, the way it is written, tre-men-dus. Where does the g/j sound come from?

Nolanger

Walk around with an air of superiority because you grew up in some crap town where everyone liked you because your dad was a Garda/teacher/TD/GAA manager!

As a dub who has recently moved rural i can add to a few

Buying firewood/turf in the pub having it delivered and not paying for it for a long time and when you go to pay for it your man not too pushed to take the money off you anyway

Lines during the freeze like "it'd be too dangerous to walk in that so you'd have to drive" home from the pub after several pints!

Burning everything and I mean everything

The waving at everyone

Me being known as "the dub"

the seriousness of the "County Final"

people with funny names just a few examples

woof woof
Joe the Lorry (lorry driver)
Digger (jcb driver)

going to the local shop for a pint of milk and spending 20 minutes getting the local gossip

the post office being open at 7 or 8 at night because its in the local shop

Nothing being the same price twice in the local shop

In a localish pub there's a pub me and two friends were in we were all drinking guinness the price was different on each round

people from neighbouring village sniffing around when local gaa team are doing better than them

een at the end of everything hateen pinteen mickeen and i get one all the time

Knowing why dubs are called jackeens!!

Ye all say that its safe well I got stabbed in a town with a pop of maybe 4-5k!!! In broad daylight on easter saturday! The guards got hit and the knife with my blood and a confession but alas tis the country so I now find myself in a different country as SFA(sweet fcuk all) being done about it.

And in my hometown one guy does the following

Farmer, Butcher, Undertaker, Postman, Dog Breeder and trainer(coursing dogs)
and he is also a Publican!!

Has anyone mentioned cow-tipping?

Also you can literally have s3x anywhere in a car once it gets dark. Ive had s3x on the main road from limerick a few times at night just pulled in and maybe up to 20 cars pass and dont bother ya!!

Put your hazzard lights on when you block traffic to go into a shop for 15 minutes.
And not get guilty about it.

LOVE this thread

How i miss Ireland!

WWC1

Watch Patsy, 70 yr old farmer, drinking stout in the local and putting a biro mark on his arm for each pint. He doesn’t like to carry cash at night, alto prob sunk his first pint at 3pm, and goes back into pub the next day to settle up. Usually at 3pm..

Confusion & consternation one night when he had a drawn a circle rather than a line. Took a while before he remembered he’d had a toasted sandwich 
