Looking at all the dubs who pay money to stay down here, or live in crappy mobile homes for the summer...
bad things ..
getting stuck behind them on the N11

Good things about Wexford:
1. Further south (slightly warmer weather)
2. Lots of exit routes - roads, trains, boats etc.

Kalina · 31-07-2003 3:26pm

I'm not from Wexford, or even the south east but I've been there a lot over the past 3 years and I think it's one of the nicest counties in Ireland.
The weather is often better than the rest of the country, there's loads of nice scenery, nice beaches, loads of history, decent pubs and restaurants and nice people. It would be a nice county to retire to, somewhere coastal maybe.
Well, that's the nice side of the county that I'm used to!!

AdMMM · 01-08-2003 1:39pm

Ever been out at night???

PhilipMarlowe · 01-08-2003 7:19pm

Don't forget the cheaper cost of living due to the relatively infrequent trips to Croke Park…

MazyMo · 14-08-2003 10:41am

What's Wexford like in comparison to New Ross?

Is Wexford an ok place, and fairly safe?

tribble · 14-08-2003 11:00am

Wexford is nice, 'cept for the natives...:)

seriosly though you do seem to have a disproportionate number of loonies - nice countryside though...

tribble

bkehoe · 14-08-2003 12:36pm

Wexford town is too far away from Waterford

.

MazyMo · 14-08-2003 5:10pm

Is that nice friendly loonies, or bad nasty-type loonies??

So you can get out of wexford quicker?

tribble · 14-08-2003 5:41pm

It depends on the solar alignment...

Well I wouldnt class either as one of the best...

Im surprised that Dunbrody hasnt been stripped in the middle of the night and sold off.. how did they manage to get it to stay intact for so long?

Is it surrounded by armed guards at night and maybe a gun turret at the top or something

No, its just that the people of New Ross respect the importance of the Dunbrody ship!!

Sure aren't the people of New Ross known for their cultural and historical awareness - thought that was a well know fact :rolleyes:

Somebody should try telling them that...

lets see now from an anchor (sailing in harbour or Rosslare up to Arklow) to a zooological garden- JFK park near New ross.
Throw in Strawberry fairs, carnsore point, opera festivals, golf, hurling, etc. etc. shut up beginning to sound like a bro-sure.:D

I met a family moved from Dublin recently and they were really pleased. apparently they discovered over 65 different clubs/socieites up and running in Wex town alone.
For simple alcoholism theres always the'vomit comet' to Wales. See can u get pissed faster than it gets to Wales- thats 99 minutes folks- without puking!
a game for all the youngsters to play
the wrinklies love it because they have the stamina to do it all again onthe way home!:cool:

The Hook Penisula - the most amazing place

Knew I could think of something nice to say about Wexford

ToxicPaddy · 10-09-2003 2:55pm

There's nicer in the west..

But it took that long to think of something lol

Was in Wexford town for the weekend as it happens, at a wedding, fairly lively spot alright, but damn impossible to get a taxi... only staying over the bridge so strolled back to the place with me bag of chips only stopping to watch 2 ladies puching the ****e outta each other...

Classy ladies in wexford alright

By the way

ToxicPaddy · 10-09-2003 3:06pm

See if I was taking about the good things about Galway well then I might talk about Clifden etc but I'm not

Maybe you should read the title of the thread again

ToxicPaddy · 10-09-2003 3:49pm

Actually smarty pants, I was comparing what you call good in wexford to other places.. but sure if thats the best there is then thats all I could hope to expect for.. lol

Oh I'm a Smarty Pants am I???

ToxicPaddy · 10-09-2003 3:59pm

You obviously have run out of witty retorts and the old reliable lame one had to be used!!

I feel sorry for you, I really do

ToxicPaddy · 10-09-2003 4:18pm

Not a nice way to treat a lady

misswex · 10-09-2003 4:38pm

And you obviously do not have a clue - which isn't very surprising to be honest

ToxicPaddy · 10-09-2003 4:41pm

Ahh well, just confirms all ive experienced with wexford women.. lol

misswex · 10-09-2003 4:44pm

Which I wouldn't say is much

ShriekingSheet · 10-09-2003 4:46pm

Actually I was out in that new-ish club in Gorey on Sunday night

It was actually a good laugh in a country-NITEclub kinda way!

Im a dub but I have a gaf down that way - I love the place

ToxicPaddy · 10-09-2003 4:48pm

Where is the new night club?

You talking about the Beacon or is there another one now???

misswex · 11-09-2003 7:39am

Well he is either talking about a) 'The Beacon' which is in Courtown or b) 'The Orphan Girl' which is Ballymoney or c) 'Paddy Blues' which is the newest one and is in Gorey!!!

Is it a), is it b) or is it c) - due in later in the day and find out!!

Let me summarise this up!!

Basically you think all Wexford Women are slappers and air-heads but you wasted 4 years of your life with one - um says alot about you

ToxicPaddy · 11-09-2003 11:37am

no not at all.. i never said anyone was a slapper or an airhead...

in fact I never mentioned any of those terms in any part of my conversation..

Try reading the whole lot again, in fact i was referring to the 2 girls I saw beating the crap outta each other on the bridge on sat night, but you seem to have taken it personally..

not my problem.. :rolleyes:

misswex · 11-09-2003 12:39pm

Aw no, I wasn't taking it personally, I was just having a laugh!!

Apologies if it seemed otherwise!!

I'm now retreating
