Hobbies: Sticking their noses in the air and referring to themselves as
"one"
Wicklow south = sheep shaggers.
Hobbies: Sitting in field with their neighbors and talking about the
"banjaxed hydraulics on the JCB", collecting the dole
Dublin north = criminals, drug dealers and factory workers, easy women,
unmarried mothers, skinheads and all-round examples of human waste.
Hobbies: Heroin and watching serials numbers being filed off stolen
BWM's, doing hand-breakers.
Dublin south = west Brits, snobs, rich, easy glamorous women.
Hobbies: Depok Shropa. colonic irrigation and sleeping with their best
friends spouse
Limerick = violent, racist scum of the earth, plays rugby,
knife-wielding prostitutes.
Hobbies: stabbing each other with screwdrivers and then complaining
about their city's bad reputation.
Donegal = looks down on all-others, aloof.
Hobbies: Turing their noses up at all and sundry
Cork = jealous of Dubliners, highly-sexualized women.
Hobbies: Standing at the side of the Motorway and making smug faces at
the cars with Dublin plates
Tipperary = beautiful pristene girls, but hard to get into bed but worth
it if you can because that County does not have two different Ridings
for nothing!
Hobbies: Getting a flat in Dublin and losing their accents and hoping
their parents do not find out.
Meath = Dublin wannabe's.
Hobbies: Beating Dublin at GAA and hoping that one day somebody in
Dublin actually noticing
Galway City = sophisticated boggers could be mistaken for a South

Hobbies: Teaching sex acrobatics to foreign tourists, dropping acid,
paying a million pounds for a three-bedroom suburban house and
pretending it was a bargain.

wondering why he never brings girls home and why he is always looking in
the Brown Thomas catalogue?

by Dubliners.

Wexford = 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.
Hobbies: Ripping off tourists is more than enough
:This of course is from a Dublin point of view, I spend a lot of time
:in Sligo
Jesus Eddie you are scarring me. I spend a lot of time in Sligo as well!
:From a Dublin point of view, basically everywhere outside of Dublin is
:unspophiscated and boring, this goes for the inhabitants as well.
Yeah I was raised with all that bigoted shite as well. But I never
believed it. My parents being a pair of worthless dickheads were always
looking down on the culchies that lived in Dublin. By the time I was 12,
I realized that the average 'bog knacker' as my "father" called them
lived in their own houses, sent their kids to better schools and
in-general had nice cars and a better quality of life. While my own
"parents" lived in a council flat and spent all the money in the pub and
then complained they had nothing afterwards.
:There are some extremely witty jokes concerning the Cavan / Cork /
:Kerry and Dublin people, especially by an actor / stank up comedian
:called Niall Tobin. Well worth seeing on video if you can...
He does this amazing bit when he travels around Ireland doing each
accent. It is an incredible piece, he has a reputation as a wanker - but
he is a talented bastard all the same. He plays the part of the
miserable priest on Ballykissangle brilliantly.

Sounds like Cork City has the same sort of inferiority complex the South
does in this country. They know in their hearts the North is where it's
at. And they (Johnny Rebs) are still bitter about losing the Civil
War. Southerners try to over compensate by the pride they carry in
their tradition. Flying the Stars N' Bars, chewin' tobaccah, racing drag
cars, and other typical redneck pursuits. (this generally only
applies to white southernerns only)
And I don't know if that great, sophisticated metropolis of Dublin
can be compared to New York City. NYC people: obnoxious, jaded,
arrogant. They feel all eyes of the country on them well, I'm sure
official DC feels the same way. But, they just don't realize the rest
of the country can't fucking stand 'em.
Citiies with bad reps for crime and corruption: Detroit, New Orleans,
Atlanta, LA, Chicago, DC (the non govt part) on a smaller scale:
St.Louis, Hartford
Cool cities: Boston, SanFran, Philly to an extent (it is kind of a cross
between Boston and NYC).
Our joke city:.....Cleveland
Here is an unsolicited, not intentionally racist one neither: "If you
get lost in a big city in the U.S. and you realize you are on Martin

Get stuffed, both cities are great. NYC people are the best Americans
they really belive in freedom and liberty and unlike the rest of the USA
do not use it to sell burger and second-hand cars. How dare you.

I like Leitrim, but becasue there are so few folks living there, it is not
famous for anything. I am thinking of going there for me holidays this summer
and renting a crusier and exploring the Shannon-Erne waterway which I believe
the two governments did a lovely job restoring. I am little afraid of
crossing the border as Jerry and his mates might be waiting for me. Even
though, I was planning to make a barbed wire fence across the river as a
guesture to the people of Northern Ireland that I respcet, and recognise
their right to self-destruction, sorry, eh, I mean determination. But I am
sure the Chucks would be waiting for me on the other side and give me a good
going-over.
I think I will go to the Isle of Man instead.

no they weren't. Laois was Queen's County. Queen Mary in particular.
That's
why Portlaoise was called Marylborough, or something like that. I think
Offaly was King's County.
Or was it Meath? Some interesting (..yawn..) midlands county, anyway.

Bollix, Clare are the big hurling county now, and as for soccer look at
Killlkenny City's glorious entry into the Premier Division! I remember when
they were still called EMFA, a mate of mine from Ballymun went down for a
trial and I went with him to help him with his kit and training. They kept
calling him the "the little Jackeen fella" he told the to fuck off and he
signed for Shamrock Rovers. We have not spoken since.

I like Cork City a lot they are really nice down there. The make fun of my
Dublin accent, but it is all done for a laugh and no real harm meant. I
wonder if Bishop Desmo and Father Peter who went down there and took their
jobs get any shite? Which is better than the way Dubliners behave around
them. Caling them Sheepshaggers and meaning it. Jackeens can be real nasty
scumbags at times. No wonder the rest of the county hates us. Remember Ger,
when Donegal beat Dublin in the All-Ireland a few years? The real anti-Dublin
hatred around the coutry came out then. It was frightening to see how much we
are disliked. All the same I cannot blame them we are a shower of cunts for
the most part.

Aw, shucks, Brendan. Still sore over me calling you "son"? ;-)
Actually, I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida (about 72 miles from
Disney World since most people know where THAT is as opposed to Tampa), and
have lived in Jacksonville (Florida), Charleston (South Carolina), Norfolk
(Virginia), and currently in Charlotte (North Carolina). So you see, I know
a little about being a southerner. The previous gentleman's post was very
typical yankee stereotyping of the southern redneck, sorta like y'all
complaining about merkins stereotyping the Irish as drunks. Same thing.
We're not ALL rednecks - in fact, the rednecks are a very slim minority.

Although I know what you mean by this, I will have to say that the
MLK area here in Atlanta is really not all *that* bad. The
surrounding area also keeps coming up. They are turning the old
Fulton Bag Mill into loft apartments and offices after years of
trying to tear it down. My neighborhood is about a mile from here
right next to the zoo,and I found my old house with the diamond pane
windows peeking out from the overgrowth.(it had been abandoned for 4
years when I found it) I got in just in time. After I bought mine,
this neighborhood suddenly became very cool, hip and fashionable, and
the prices rose accordingly. People are shocked when they found out
how much I paid. It has a character that really gets to you. It may
be a work in progress for many years but it's all mine.....
If only I could pick it up and take it with me.....only thing that
keeps me here.

Its a small rural county. Mothers-to-be usually go to the hospital in
neighbouring Co. Roscommon, hence the stat. (I think it was 1992,
only 4 babies were actually born in Leitrim.)

Well Neil I did not inculde Northern Ireland beacuse I know very little
about that foreign country. For me to spout sterotypes about the six
counties of the North would be like doing the same with Scottish or
English counties - it would make me an ignorant bigot. No, I know little
about the social orders in Northern Ireland beacuse it is not part of my
country and therefore of little interest. How the people of Northern
Ireland conduct their lives is of no concern to me - a citizen of the
Republic. If I was Belgian I would not concern myslf with sterotypes in
Holland, so why should I do the same for Northern Ireland?

I've let this pass for too long, so here's the reply that's been on my
mind but hard to write since I read it.
I was standing on the Hill when we beat Mayo in the Semi to get thru
to the Final. 'Beat' is too strong a word, we lost less quickly than
they did, so we were still ahead when the final whistle blew. Walking
home from the match, the consensus was that Dublin were laughing at us
after the display, and would have no problems dispatching us in short
order come September.
I spent the next four weeks scouting for a ticket of course, like
everyone else. Being Dublin-based, I actually had a fairly tough time
tracking one down. It's true, the other 30 counties gave their
tickets to the Donegalmen. A friend at work, pure-bred jackeen, had an
impossible time. He managed to get one eventually of course, and so
did I, and with lots of slagging about the result and a few bets to
make it interesting, time passed fast, & the weekend of the game was
upon us.
That weekend meant a lot more to the Donegal men than it did to the
Dubs, I think. Ye'd had finals before, during the era of Heffo's Army
and beyond. We'd never won a game in Croke Park, and had barely
managed to defeat Mayo. But over the four weeks leading up to the
Final, the belief grew in Donegal that the Mayo game has been
unrepresentative. We'd broken the jinx, we knew we could win in Croke
Park, we'd do much better this time. ('Yeah right, keep telling
yourself that', the naturally pessimistic voice in the head would
whisper).
Everyone I ever knew showed up in Dublin that weekend. People were
flying in from New York. Three of my brothers were there from London,
which wasn't too unusual, they were single guys in their early '20s
after all, and I'd have expected them to show up, but married men in
their 40s & 50s had made it too. I phoned the oul' fella on Sunday
morning, & he told me there was himself and three oul' wans still
there to keep an eye on the place, everyone else was in Dublin. I was
heading up to the match, had just turned the corner from Parnell Sq to
Gardiner St, when I heard my name called, & turned around to see my
uncle Jamie & his wife. That morning he'd decided 'Feck it', called
up some friends, dumped the kids, and headed out to Heathrow with the
wife. I bought him breakfast & we went up to the Park.
We won.
The jackeens took it well. They couldn't get over the support we had.
There was an island of blue on the Hill, and the rest of the Park was
a sea of Green & Gold. They should have seen it coming though, after
all, O'Connell Street had been transformed into Donegal territory the
entire weekend. We got tanked of course. In every pub, there'd be
two or three disconsolate Dubs, & we'd tell them they'd get their day.
They'd shrug, & express admiration for the way Donegal had outplayed
them earlier.
So we ate, & drank, & sang horribly hoarse out-of-tune versions of
'Donegal Danny' & 'The Homes of Donegal', & then the news came through
that a young fella had been kicked to death on O'Connell St. And the
Dubliners in our company offered condolences, and we told them there
are fuckheads everywhere, and drank a few quiet pints together.
I've always said there are eejits everywhere Unks. I lived among
Northside Dubs for ten years, mostly in Phibsboro & Cabra, just around
the corner from your beloved Bohs. Best people in the world, slag you
'til you drop, but with decent hearts.

Never got an ounce of shite, Unki! Cork has to be one of the best parts

in Lombardstown & got settled in. Then I got shipped over the the US!!
Two years time, it's back to Cork, in all fairness, like!

Cork is a grand place (speaking as a Nortcider Dubbeliner). The only thing to
avoid is complaining about it to Corkonians; it is like tourists
coming to Ireland and complaining that things are better somewhere else.
Cork people find that boring and irrelevant.
It is extremely friendly (on quiet bus routes, everyone says hello and
goodbye to the bus drivers and you can practically say hello to total
strangers in the middle of the city) and is surrounded by great countryside
and coastline. Socially, Dublin has a lot more going on but you also
get a pile more hassle and spend most of the time stuck in traffic. I have
two young kids so, overall, Cork is paradise compared to Dublin just now.
It is safe and friendly and has everything you need for keeping chisslers
amused. I do get envious when I see the extraordinary face lift that Dublin
has had over the past few years and when I see all the amazing places to go
late at night etc. but I am stuck at home most evenings so that is not such
a big deal.
