Annoying noise in Cork City

TheChizler

Gerry Adams is pretty much outside my house giving out about Fianna Fáil and bankers. It's some Easter Sunday commemoration in St. Finbarre's cemetery in Cork. Who gave him a megaphone?

I was happy here enjoying my Easter Eggs. Any ideas how to block him out? Shut windows and turned up music bit his accent is too invasive. Half tempted to blast God Save the Queen out the window.

thats my favourite humming noise

I thought the OP was just hearing Cork people talk when I read the title

krudler

you'd think being around the Cork accent you'd be used to annoying noises

If he's right outside your house then open the window and fcuk something heavy at his head. That should shut him up.

Come so close! Have it on my ipod for some reason and I was driving past a minute ago. Only the fates intervened and I didn't have the stereo connector cable in the car.

I suppose I probably wouldn't, being inappropriate in the day that's in it. If I could somehow isolate him to avoid upsetting the regular punters I'd give it a proper go.

Yeah I can only imagine the beauts come to hear him talk.

Cork not a City and you being from Carlow and all, you'd swear you were from Carlow DC.

Could be worse OP, micheal martin outside with a megaphone sprouting nonsense such as he had nothing to with bailout, economy crash, St. Bertie,etc.That man must be deaf dumb and blind, perfect characteristics of a leader for FF.

There are small cities too. Although I think Kilkenny and Waterford is going a bit far...

There's a Carlow in DC?

What a strange thing to say. I mean, it's all well and good that you hate Cork people and such and such, but when there's so many commonly-used insults to throw at Corkonians, why go for this one which is pretty obviously untrue? I mean, it was made a city in the 1100s, it's the second-biggest gathering of buildings in the Republic, couple hundred thousand people...

Sure it's pretty ****ty to call it a city by some standards, but its not like Dublin really compares to Mumbai or Atlanta or somewhere either. Your opinions are wrong and bad and so are you.

edit:very much beaten, but eh.

I think it's just the atheist heating up. They always get fussy around this time of year.

Look up some Bertie Ahern speeches on You Tube for yourself. It might inspire you.

Kilkenny City was the capital of Ireland, until the brits bestowed the honour on Dublin in recognition of it's residents loyalty to the Crown. True story*

*well, at least the first bit is..

I don't know how people who engage in that sort of thing don't go and commit suicide!

Berties sort of thing? A pension of about 220,000 a year would be a start.

Hey I object! Waterford is.....yeah you're right

CHealy

Cork City urban pop. - approx 250,000

Carlow pop - Dont give a **** because Carlow has no meaning to me, but it has to be at least 1, seeing as we have a poster claiming to be from there.

Nodin

Never been in Cork (city or county).

Unless they keep people with a really strong accent off the airwaves it doesn't sound that bad, from what I've heard of it.

Apparently Charleville was given a City charter once as well!

If you look at the size of the country, it's not too much that there are small cities in Ireland in my opinion.

Waterford is Irelands oldest city, also the first place the tricolour was flown. Plenty of history in this city if you bother to look. It's funny how your first sentence contracts your second, although with you being from Cork not at all surprising.

Hahahahaha! These threads are hilarious for the "You shouldn't make a light-hearted jibe about a place, and in order to spell that out for you, I'll insult the entire population of where you're from" stuff - from actual adults! :pac:

i must have missed the part in my user cp where i said i was from carlow city

carlow is obviously a town, a small town at that. I suppose congratulations are in order to everyone who realises that? although you lose marks for thinking that cork, waterford or kilkenny are cities.

forfuxsake

Cork is a tremendous citypity

What's your personal criteria for a city - seeing as that's the only basis on which you state Cork is not one?

Cool. Probably pointless stating it's "Cork town" as a fact though, coz it's not.
