The worst place in Ireland......

I fear pighead you're one of those unfortunate souls who's been brought up with an idealised vision of Dundalk. All too common it is. Where the fair skinned women speak with a hint if a lilting northern accent. Where there's a friendly smile to greet you as you enter any pub in town. Where the clean sea air blows in from the bay. Well I'm sorry to tell ya pighead, it aint true. You've been duped.

Listen pal Pighead doesn't get duped. Its quite clear here that its you who is in the wrong. You're anti-Dundalk attitude makes Pighead sick to the fcuking belly.

Its obvious what happened here, you're one of those cnuts who left Dundalk at 18 to go to college in Dublin and within 2 weeks you'd lost the accent for fear of 'not fitting in' whatever the fcuk that means. You casually put your hometown down in order to let the people around you know that you've moved on to bigger and better things.

Well humbert, you can stay the fcuk away if thats your attitude. Keep you're stinking college values and haughty attitudes. Give Pighead a pub in Dundalk surrounded by pure down to earth Dundalkonians any day.

If its getting pissed thats the order of the day, you've got the most relaxed natural public houses around, if you want to clear your head, a leisurely drive up the Cooley mountains will reward you with peace, fresh air and spectacular scenery.

If its chicks you're after Dundalk is continually churning out chicks who not only look good but who think good as well. If its top class soccer you're after you can head down to....actually scratch that one.

Bottom line is Dundalks a wonderful place to bring up a child and you should be ashamed of yourself for selling your soul for the Dublin dollar. You're no longer one of us humbert. You're nothing to Pighead now.

Touchy on Dundalk then Pighead.:D

Pighead · 05-09-2007 6:38pm

Nah, touchy on cnuts who get ideas above their station, thats all. The fcukers obviously got a small todger and has come to the conclusion that Dundalks to blame for all his woes.

humbert · 05-09-2007 6:45pm

Well mister pighead you do make a good point and far be it from me to call you a dirty great liar. Dundalk does churn out some of the finest chicks in Ireland, however it's not long before the good thinking head on their shoulders takes them from this grotty little dump.

The Cooley mountains are a sight to behold indeed and Carlingford is a lovely little place too, great places to live both of them.

Now on this last point I can't fault you at all, if you're looking to get dirty rotten drunk there's no better place in Ireland.

Oh and if you really were a Dundalker you'd know nobody loses a Dundalk accent!

Why, because of the roadworks?

I generally have to see a back specialist after all the bumping around driving through Castledermot. I lived in Dublin for 8 years and every time I went to Waterford there would be roadworks in Castledermot. It's like an open sore that never heals.

Oh yeah... total banjo territory. There's an air of threat about the place even though there's never anyone around. You sort of know that if you switched off the engine, you'd have "company" in no time.

We drove out there one night to drop someone home and we were overtaken by two motorbikes with rider and pillion on each. Not a helmet in sight, even though civilisation was only 5 miles away among the bright lights of Waterford.

Micko23 · 05-09-2007 10:27pm

Yeah ive been in GRANARD and just thought to myself what could possibly keep people here. Not judging the people, just the state of the place- depressing.

Leixlip wouldnt be in the running if it wasnt for The Ozone and its attractivenes to north western dubliners who would not get in anywhere in Dublin City. Maynooth as a town isnt too bad and Celbridge does have its bad parts really dragging the area down.

Believe me, we had plenty of outsiders coming in before the ozone existed.

Well i've never been there myself, but i just did a google image search and it looks pretty grim alright.....

Sligo takes the cake, I have to say. Not only have they not got the electric, they keep referring to the place as a "city", because there are no other municipal centres within easy horse and trap reach. Also they all have the same eyebrows.

Just saying.

Who is this "they"?? The media sometimes refer to it as a city along with the mayor now and again!!

What does not got the electric mean?

Northern Ireland is fairly solidly attached to the earths crust. Digging Around it will not cause it to float anywhere. An undermining operation would be required. The six counties would be held aloft by a comprehensive system of supports/ props as excavation proceeded outwards from initial network of trenches dug in relays by teams of slaves in a nightmare subterranean world of work and darkness. Let the water in, break the last walls holding her, and let the north float away on the gulf stream to..

:eek: a scene from michael collins was filmed there, they obviously forgot to clean up, what a shít hole

philstar · 06-09-2007 7:25pm

Well is there any Granard people out there willing to defend their home town??

its getting an awful kicking on this thread.

come on, tell us its not that bad...that when the sun goes down it transforms into a "las vegas happening place" with casino's and go go girls and general razzmatazz:)

Dub13 · 06-09-2007 7:51pm

All this talk of Dundalk continually churning out hot chicks....anybody got any pics...?

Micko23 · 06-09-2007 8:07pm

Granard probably is grand to live in but it looks like its stuck in the the year 1900.... probably giving film makers little trouble filming there!

Anyway this argument has little direction as people havent lived in that many places anyway

.... then again BBC named Strabane as the worst place to live in Northern Ireland.

juuge · 06-09-2007 9:31pm

I hate where ever it is that Ciaran Mulooley from RTE comes from. His looks and his voice scares me

Sleepy · 06-09-2007 9:52pm

Cork.

Without a doubt, the accent, the impossible one way streets, the superiority complex, everything about the place tbh!

Doesn't Ciaran Mullooly come from Roscommon???

The Roscommon accent is terrible though, luckily i haven't been inflicted, probably due to my dad being from donegal.

Jaysus, can't believe Strabane hasn't been mentioned earlier.

ailbe · 15-10-2007 6:44pm

Mullooly is a Longford man.Born in Lanesborough.Lives in Roscommon though.Yes.he has a very distinctive voice but he is a top-class reporter and probably RTE's best dresser.He is also very helpful and is frequebtly described as one of the nicest guys in the Irish media.

You mean Ciara Mullooly?

Every time he says his name he forgets the n and calls himself Ciara!

"Ciara Mullooly, RTE News".

You drag up a thread that hasn't been around for five and a half weeks (a LONG time in the world of After Hours), you praise a specific person despite it being fairly off-topic, and it's your very first post... that's some crazy-ass sh*t right there!

Yes Ailbe dont be put off there are a lot of smart comments from posters who contribute little to debate.

Ah, a new spark to inject life into an old thread, I love it.

Dublin Airport is officially the worst place in Ireland.

the width of the river shannon separates lanesborough from roscommon so he could easily have been born/raised on the roscommon side.....

The only place I've ever been where i thought "Jaysus, I wouldn't live here if I was being paid to", is.....Athlone. Was only there the once and I've already prom9sed myself never to return. The place is a sh1thole.

Hey, we gave the world Guinness.

Thats another load of bollocks that Leixlip people say all the time. Arthur's first pint was brewed in Celbridge - the first brewery was in Leixlip but I still think Celbridge has more of a right to be called the home of guinness

Degsy · 16-10-2007 4:59pm

I hated donaghmede..full of arseholes.

Lunula · 16-10-2007 5:14pm

Listowel.

Definitely.

No wait....

Actually yes, Listowel.

Horrible place. Nothing there.

No Tesco.

I don't see any reason why it's packed every day when there's nothing there.
