    Anyone else think Charleville reminds them of Moate? In the way its streets are etc
    Or that Cork reminds them of Dublin. Leeside similar to Liffeyside

    Just some examples. Anyone else care to share some, or is this thread as useful as a chocolate fireguard? :pac:

    Apparently Compton in California is a sister city of Tralee.

    Ballybofey and Stranorlar are called the Twin Towns in Donegal. The River Finn separates.

    They are both sh*te.

    When the sun is shining down at a certain angle and after a certain amount of pints, some people have been known to compare Dundalk with Acapulco.

    Cork is like Dublin's bitter, plain, older sister.


    I say this as someone who lives in Cork.

    Yeah.

    Forty or more.

    Dundalk is an absolute abomination.

    And whoever said Cork and Dublin are similar should be taken out and shot at dawn.

    was in santa barbara over the summer and when you come into the city off the Freeway it lists its sister towns, low and behold Dingle was there... I laughed my ass off, Dingle twinned with Santa Barbara,
    SB is probably one of the prettiest towns in California,
    Dingle isnt worthy of my feces
