    Pretty much hit the nail on the head there flange.
    I am from Ardees exotic Southside myself - Cherrybrook to be precise.
    I agree about the lack of a really good watering hole with the exception of Bennys. There is something so completely wrong about that place..... and yet so right.
    That Finnan fella is a right fooker.... I could write a book.
    I wont though.
    It does really bother me the way ppl in ardee gossip and yap aboot other folk.
    About the post boxes - my dad is the "lucky" one that gets to empty that.....
    when I was a kid we used to catch mice and birds and put em into the post box..... curry doesnt seem so bad in comparison.....

    aha a Cherrybrooker, bejasis.

    Well my jasis a wee woman from the home sod thats fond of Bennys. Well wonders will never cease. I tell ya I love the place, although I don't get in there near enough, and you know what, Benny hasn't got many years left in him, when he's gone they will all be sorry. There will be a sell off by his distant family who will inherit and that will be one part of Ardee history thrown out into the past memories of those in the town, never to return.

    Another problem now I see is that Ardee appears to be the new Carrick, car's and mini-buses coming in from all sorts to hit the bars etc.. Benny can't be able to cope with a couple of midlands fupheads fallin outta taxis looking for cheap drink before Shambles. Although I think the loyal couple of heads in there should keep things in order. Sure when I was home the weekend before last I couldn't recognise most in Shambles at all(Yup I love to give the Muldoons cash!!).

    I see a wee cord has been pulled regarding the Finnan man huh? whats happened there?

    Owh and you forgot 'The Fair Green' in your wee list there and surely the Arches and Farrells is the same place lets not get into widening the grasp to hunterstone and Duffys cross.

    Here listen, pvt me for the cheap laugh and I'll drop you my msn, you talk sense my town sister.

    And me too. Although it would have been more accurate to have called myself Rockmarshalduffman or bellurganduffman or jenkinstownduffman. Sorry now that I didn't take FitzpatricksDuffman and have done with it.

    Dundalk used to be a bit of a kip I will admit. There is nothing wrong with the town anymore. The town centre is looking very well, the new retail park and new shopping centre will make a massive difference.

    Ah granted, its the same with all council estates in every town. The town really has turned itself around in the last 10 years or so.

    Bloodie scary. I got out of a taxi at Waterville entrance off Tom Bellew avenue that night after having several pints in the town and almost soiled myself. Not good hearing choir singing following 10 pints, though I was finding God. I found my curry the following day where I had dropped it in my haste to get inside my house!

    Jez, I'm surprised how well represented the wee county is. Anybody think that the mojority of Louth'ers stay where they are? I notice that most others from other counties tend to head away (oz etc..)

    The natives are well fenced-off though. If any of them break through, I'm sure the good staff of Harvey Norman's have some kind of expensive uber Stun Gun technology to flatten them with anyway! I suppose target practice is all that the PC Superstore have left these days!
