    I would have to say Longford. Its one of those makey-upy counties, everyone knows it doesn't exist so its no use trying to say you're from there.

    Leitrim, everyone starts on "do you have traffic lights yet?"

    Think it has to be Cork, just because every time somebody says "I'm from Cork" they seem to have to add "bai" even though I occasionally get the impression they hate themselves for doing it

    Howarya now? I'm from Mayo (well I grew up there anyways). Kharn is too. We are real. I swear! (Back me up Kharn!)

    Also - I'm pretty sure Longford is real or else I dreamed my ex-grilfriend up completely (that's happened before actually).

    I'm going to go for Offaly - take that Mundy!

    Rosscommon and Letrim have to be the worst, and Carlow for the pure size of it

    Other - Limerick (always in the news - Moyross)
    TipperHairy - for obvious reasons
    For some reason Waterford is starting to bug me

    Dublin for me. These people think they're from a city when it's actually an overgrown council estate.

    Oh any time I say I'm from Cork, that's it, the floodgates are open for "ya langer", "oh are ya bai...?!" etc. Hilarious. People from other counties (especially Dubs) make far more of a big deal about it than I do - despite the fact that we Cork people apparently won't shut up about it.

    I'm going to say Antrim. There's nothing particularly embarrassing about it but I've never ever heard anyone say "I'm from Antrim". Ever.

    Maybe it's because most people from Antrim are from Belfast and they just say that instead.

    I was raised in Cork but born in Clonmel, Tipp (although I try not to associate myself with that town)... How unfortunate am I? :rolleyes:

    Now living in Dub though - yay!

    The notion that one ****ehole in this country is in any way superior to the next is frankly embarrassing.
    There is a place called Gowel in Leitrim though.
