    repost?

    You know you're from Limerick when...
    ·You have an uncontrolable urge to steal.
    ·You constantly deny that Limerick is rough; despite having being stabbed at least 12 times yourself.
    ·Gardas and prison officers outnumber family members at funerals.
    ·Bikers back down from your mother in a fight.
    ·You think Dubliners are 'shandy drinking poofs'.

    You know you're from Cork when...
    ·You constantly refer to Cork as 'the real capital'.
    ·You think of Murphy's as the sixth food group.
    ·You disagree; Murphy's is the FIRST food group and call anyone a 'Langer' if they disagree.
    ·You say the word 'like' at least 700 times a day.
    ·You're always going on about how much better than Dublin Cork is.
    ·You don't eat anything cold, uncooked or not resembling meat, bread and potatoes.

    You know you're from Dublin when...
    ·You say 'tawen' when you mean the city centre.
    ·You can't remember the last time you got up to 30mph in your car in "tawen."
    ·You think it is perfectly normal to pay over EUR4 for a pint.
    ·You think anyone not from Dublin is from 'the country'.
    ·You say the word 'bleedin' at least 700 times a day.
    ·You laugh at all other Irish accents despite the fact that nobody anywhere on this planet can understand a word you say.
    ·You have several family members called Christy and Anto.

    You know you're from Galway when...
    ·You say "Howsa' goin" all the time.
    ·You can't remember a weekend when a friend from Dublin or Cork wasn't sleeping on your couch.
    ·Your weekly cannabis intake has now exceeded that of the entire island of Jamaica.
    ·When you say you're from Galway, people immediately say 'great town' and tell you about their wild weekends in Salthill.
    ·You're always banging on about saving the Irish language but can't actually speak a word of it yourself.
    ·You think that it's perfectly normal to have 6 buskers, 19 Romanian beggers, and an English krusty holding some twine tied to a filthy starving dog telling fortunes - all on the same street.

    Ho-ho! Is this really what Ireland is like? I suppose not, but I had to ask anyway.

    Only the four places mentioned. The rest of it's all leprechauns and pots 'o gold.

    You know you're from carlow when: -

    - You see a sheep and become slightly aroused
    - You are living about '50 mile down the road from the 'big smoke'

    You know you're from tipperary when: -

    - it is almost impossible to pronounce any t's in a word (unless that word starts with t, i.e. tipp, or tipperary)
    - the only song you know the words of goes 'tipperary, tipperary, owe, owe, owe.'
    - you don't know the words of 'it's a long way to tipperary', because it was a 'durry tan song'
