    Waterford = decent honest hard-workers generally good folks. Hobbies: Calling a strike.


    Westmeath = like most midlanders, generally boring. Hobbies, much like some people up north, winning one football title and then believing they know it all about football.

    Wexford = Brown earth you’d wanna take home in your pockets. Hobbies = selling their “home-grown” organic fruit (bought at supermarket that morning) at the side of the road in summer and ripping-off gullible Dubliners out for a drive in the country. .

    Wicklow = either country snobs with range rovers or poor aul sheep farmers with peak caps and a small black and white sheep dog with dirt all over him.

    lol. not sure about the hobbies, stabbing's a bit last century....


    Kerry = Geographically pleasing county, populated by thrifty work-shy types, or 'poor farmers' complaining the arse is falling out of their pants before driving off in their €50k jeeps. Hobbies: Football, which they're good at, and even better at reminding everyone how good, sexually assaulting dolphins, seeing how many foreigners they can overcharge each year. :D

    Seems to me it was written by someone from south Dublin.Only a west Brit would leave out the 6 counties of Down,Derry,Armagh,Antrim,Fermanagh and Tyrone.

    Ireland is 32 counties.Don't you remeber the song by that damn turkey? :cool:
