    Having seen the other thread, I noticed that there are about 10 counties that keep appearing. I was wondering of the others, which is the worst and why????

    dublin - some parts tbh (no names!) or anywhere flat with tillage eg Kilkenny


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,004 ✭✭✭Big Ears


    Kilkenny , got some lovely chips there once . That's about the only positive though .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,408 ✭✭✭Huggles


    Offaly tbh. Just don't like it, driving through the place annoys me, dated a fella from Birr too who turned out to be a cheating baastard LOL Of course that has no bearing on my choice ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭whassupp2


    Here's mine:

    (Don't mean to offend anyone. take it on the chin!!!)

    Offaly (because their roads are terrible (even through towns like Clara)
    Cavan (because they have weird accents and they're all loaded coz they never spent their money.)
    Dublin (what do i say......the smell of the Liffey sums it up)


    Thats it. Everywhere else is pretty mcuh ok.

    :D I'm from there and that actually is true (apart from the weird accent bits, that's only in far Cavan).

    I'd have to say Dublin. I like about 50% of the people/places in the county but loathe the other 50%.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,514 ✭✭✭Rollo Tamasi


    Clare.

    There was a guy living in my estate and he would always have his clare flags hagging out the window whenever clare were playing cork. He'd call down a few days before the game in his clare jersey and talk **** to my ol' man about how Clare are going to win (the ol'man wouldn't have a clue about hurely), and he'd generally talk ****e anyway.... Needless to say I had the last laugh! AH HAAA!

    edit: Hurling of course, not hurely

    Yes Kilkenny is a sh!t hole try living there:( My worst country is probly the aran islands(not exactly a county, tho I love Galway), an uter pile of horse and cart sh!t. They have a shop there and its called, wait for it "SPAR", must of been the talk of the island for a year or so:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,898 ✭✭✭✭Nalz


    Worse county, got to be Laois.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,060 ✭✭✭Anto McC


    Donegal,easily Donegal!!!

    Can't understand a word any of them are saying!

    Has the Aran Islands finally got country status now? Wow! LOL

    couldn't resist :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,202 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    Sorry, but it's Cork for me. Dublin comes a close second. I've lived all my life there and familiarity does breed contempt.

    cork, terrible accents and always going on about how great it is to be from cork, does my head in!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,048 ✭✭✭Amazotheamazing


    Probably Cork, but I don't really mind it so much.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,504 ✭✭✭Nehpets


    cork of course


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 697 ✭✭✭the Shades


    Kildare or Longford can't decide which gives me a stronger urge to pull each of my finger nails out very slowly to distract me from the pain of being there


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 592 ✭✭✭poobum


    cork!!!!!!!! arseholes!!!(ones i met anyway)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 703 ✭✭✭ThrownAway


    Limerick :mad:

    What a horrible, horrible place.

    It's so depressing. Everything about the place is in need of modernizing. Anyone ever see the Roches it looks like it's from the 70s :D

    Dublin by far and then Louth, oh and Derry (so booooring)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,238 ✭✭✭humbert


    Hey louth is...actually your right:o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,473 ✭✭✭R0ot


    dublin, what a scum hole! :D

    I only know sligo, dublin and galway well, so um...dublin maybe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 564 ✭✭✭cue


    Carlow. I mean, what is the point? One of its top historic battle sites is actually located in a county council yard! Tyrone bores me whenever I drive through it. But I will admit, I love to get away from Meath


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 10,446 Mod ✭✭✭✭xzanti


    Some parts of Dublin are Hell on Earth (I'm from Dublin btw)
    Don't really like Derry... Bit depressing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,202 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    why?

    Full of themselves. Show no respect to anyone else, particularly the real capital.

    (Crosshaven is nice, though, but why was Fort Camden allowed go to pot?)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,730 ✭✭✭Balmed Out


    Dublin and Kildare though they arent so bad, just full of w******

    The six in Northern Ireland. Only because of The Troubles, especially during marching season. Once that's resolved someday, then I would have to reconsider.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 203 ✭✭cerebis


    cork tbh - the people's republic of arrogance.....

    I think you'll find nowadays the 6 counties are very similar to the other 26. But i'm not going to turn this into another one of those debates.


    I hate parts of dublin. Nobody hates monaghan then?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭whassupp2


    Nope Monaghans fine.....they keep quiet and people only go to Monaghan when they're passing through.....nothing much there to annoy people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,640 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Cork. It's a dump.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 996 ✭✭✭Léan


    Laois and um, yeah mostly just Laois.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,041 ✭✭✭✭Wishbone Ash


    Meath :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,967 ✭✭✭Dun


    Monaghan and Dublin


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    Meath...

    I think i dislike Westmeath too but theres something about the county that prevents you looking too hard at it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,300 ✭✭✭CiaranC


    Why isnt this a poll?

    Cork. I dont really dislike it that much, but Cork people seem to take genuine offence when you slag their stupid county off, like it matters or something.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,402 ✭✭✭nxbyveromdwjpg


    Cork. They have a chip on their shoulder 'cos they are not Dublin.

    mostly due to having to waste 2 years of my life there due to a stupid second level course choice

    it's just plain "meh"

    i hate you both.


    westmeath. it's just there. it doesn't do anything. i don't see the point of it.
    it should just be part of meath proper and then meath could be its own province and it could have a king and be called the kingdom of meath.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭Scraggs


    Laois tbh:rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭jrey1981


    wexford or louth.

    Best thing about them is the motorway out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,820 ✭✭✭Femelade


    Dublin. I just dont like it. (and no, its not because i'm from Cork)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Cork, just because it's full of so many arseholes with a major chip on their shoulder.

    Cork.

    The only place in Europe where the inhabitants refuse to accept the status of second city.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,383 ✭✭✭emeraldstar


    Tipperary North Riding

    I'm from Tipperary South Riding ;);)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,048 ✭✭✭Amazotheamazing


    Surprised at all the anti-Cork feeling, feel like changing my vote out of sympathy.
