    Not only do you live in one of the most boring places in Ireland you are condemned to live there for the longest average age.

    clicky
    A new public health survey shows that Roscommon has the country's highest life expectancy for men and women.

    Figures from the Institute of Public Health in Ireland show that in Roscommon life expectancy at birth for men is nearly 77 years and just over 82 years for women.

    It's not on any map because it doesn't exist.

    The Rossies are a wise and gentle people but Sligo is another story, a horror story. If breaking bottles off people's heads was an Olympic sport, we could send an all-Sligo team to Beijing and they'd return with a body-bag full of medals.

    Thats is understandable, when your religious and a complete bastard. As most Roscommons are.
    You hold out from that hot poker aimed at your bumhole for as long as possible.

    We move all our infirm and dying next door just before they pop there clogs so as to stay on top of the table. Good to see the Rossies winning something!

    Only because they would steal everyone elses medals...otherwise they'd be busted for illegal substances.
