Hmmm.... I know at least one other person who is from Louth or is living in the environment, is there anyone else?

/me is living a wee bit outside Drogheda (however not for long - college awaits)

congrats on the old LC results fio,

I`m at the college in Dundalk, you heading there yourself, or further afield.

For some reason i was under the impression you were from Dub or Galweh, well thats online persona`s for you.

There`s a few people on boards here from louth, i know of some from dundalk - DJB, Spaceman, Bullman, babyeater.

But they`re mainly game/tech related posters.

As bazH has pointed out I'm from Louth I live between Dundalk and Carlingford

zAbbo · 16-08-2002 12:01pm

You back in the country babyeater, there`s a LAN party on Sunday.

klong · 18-08-2002 9:48pm

For the purposes of boards.ie ONLY, I will claim dual nationality (Louth & Meath), being from meath side of drogheda; go to school in louth, play my GAA in meath.

The Clown Man · 18-08-2002 11:09pm

I am from the magnificent kipp that is Dundalk. And I love it.

So much that I live in Dublin now and retract any claims I may have made that I come from Dundalk.

Although Louth is cool.

With the exceptions of Drogheda and Dundalk. And Ardee for that matter.

Although it does seem to have a pulling effect on me the odd weekend however.

Me too........well, originally (Gyles Quay). I moved into the big city (Dundlak) a few years ago with the ball and chain.

End of life story.

zAbbo · 19-08-2002 2:09am

BabyEater · 20-08-2002 1:52pm

staring elf · 22-08-2002 12:10am

hey babyeater and dre, what's your real names if you don't mind me asking? i may know you, i'm in the dundalk-carlingford region too.

Dr. Dre · 22-08-2002 8:35am

Hey babyeater, elf; what about the Cooley v's Pats match sounds like a right laugh

, not into bog ball at all, infact I detest it.

I remember at school it would be the topic of conversation all the time, shouts of "up cooley" or "up the pats", sad. And then I go and read the argus and realise that these people are still at it :rolleyes:

Babyeater, around "martins" I know the mcdondald's, begleys, kearneys, and when keenans owned "martins" I actually used to hang around with them. Do you actually remember it when it WAS Martins, 'cos I am of an age where I do, vividly !!!

BabyEater · 25-08-2002 6:35pm

I do remember when Martin's was owned by Martin's altho i wasn't old enough to drink in it at the time as I'm only 21.
Oh me real name is Crónán Mc Donald

eth0_ · 25-08-2002 6:58pm

I lived in Louth for 8 years and my parents still do, I can safely say Louth is the armpit of Ireland! I hate the place

Im from sunny Ardee. Its a lovely oul spot.

Ardee - Home of the Jumping Church, the edge of The Pale, a huge Lunatic Asylum and a Beatles themed restaurant (called Hard Days Night, incidentally).

And people scoff!!! Bah!! The fools!!

Theres a lovely Castle too!!!!!

And over a dozen pubs!!!!!

flangeman · 12-08-2003 12:14am

Don't know about that though, hardly call it a 'great spot' unless you like the idea of the slow Muldoon takeover of the town.

If you mean by over a Dozen you mean 13(including the Golf Club and closed Liscoe's, which apparently still have a licence and opens one day a year to keep it).

Dunno, nice going home, greeting people in pubs, havin the craic, but whenever I go home its just pure hard drinkin all the time, nothin else to do. Not that I'm complaining or anything!!

Dunno, you go home much Miss Kitty EMBEE

embee · 12-08-2003 3:21pm

I do be in Ardee a good bit, purely cos I hate Dublin so much.
I count 14 pubs - Endas, the Castle, the Ferdia Arms, the Railway, the Auberge, the Arches, Farrells, Tenantys, the Harp, Mickey McCreanors, the Clove, Bar Indigo, Brians and Benny Andersons. All ****holes but they still count.
Its a pain going out in Ardee though - its the same old faces looking at you with beady eyes cos you have "fancy notions" about urself since you moved to "Godless Dublin".
So, flangeman.... you from the town itself or out the countryside?

flangeman · 12-08-2003 4:10pm

I'm from the town alright, originally a Eastside boy North of the River, now however I'm a Southsider(just about!).

Got out though, a year in Gun-dalk(Scum-dalk), a few year in the Big Smoke and now with haste I'm taking the Queens pound over here in Lundin(as they say a-tome).

There isn't a dacent place to drink nowadays, unless you like kiddie hip-hop(Shambles, Front Bar Muldoons), Guns and Roses(in bar Indigo and/or Arches etc.. , poor soul behind the bar in 'Bar Indigo' told me they had to get rid of 'Copperhead Road' and 'American Pie' off the video jukebox for the sake of sanity), or 'Spinnin Finnin'(the Singing Dancing Whistling Town Commisioner) mixing the decks at various places throughout the town. As I once heard him say

'and the next song is TAKE ME TO THE RIVER, but heh dont fall in'

Funny thing is though, there not that bad of a bunch, I think we are all really snearing fecks anyway(the water from the hill of Salle). But every now and again, well everytime I'm home, a little thing reminds you of why you left

e.g.

(1) watching somebody pull over a car at 03:25 and post the remains of a curry through the An Post letter box

(2) told for the 3rd time who's preg'ers and who ran off with who

(3) finding out that every woman you meet still in the town has pretty much been with all your mates(3rd hand women)

(4) the endless 'crusing for chicks' that some of my male brotheren seem to do in their cars, up and down the town, every hour, turning at Bennys and back up again

And sometimes your shocked at how interested they are in how your getting on(well as long as you have a witty story to put with it).

But one thing I have noticed the price of drink has gone up so much(not in ratio to local pay) that they are more and more unable to leave the town coz the social life costs way to much.

One thing I see a lot of recently is people pished off with the same 'craic n drinkin' and just mad for a conversation with somebody outside the usual, and these I enjoy.

Am I spot on or what Miss Kitty?

So who is from louth?
