    In Dublinia if an elderly person gets on the Luas/Bus people give them a seat, In Cork tough sh!te, they dont care if your elderly/diabled!

    I agree with this.
    Cork people are ignorant and arrogant! I get depressed in cork thats why I use Dublin/Shannon airports!

    If Cork county wasn't so big we'd have walled it off already.

    *in before move to TCN*

    Cork City Centre is already a little tiny island on the river!

    We're actually talking about the entire county here.

    Fully agree with Nevore.

    But before we go ahead we must ensure the full and safe repatriation of all fellow Dubliners lost to this toilet by the Lee through bouts of decentralisation and what not down thru the years....

    In summary

    Cork: The Irish Examiner

    Dublin: The Irish Times
    Well, fair point, but we have to draw a line. It's like on a sinking ship, if some poor soab is on the wrong side of that one bulkhead that must be sealed to save everyone?

    Apart from the university campaign, you just described Leixlip. Except we have 3 bridges (and an aquaduct) and our once derelict hotels now have guests.

    Once HP and Intel pull out, things will get back to normal.

    I guess it's just natural for the two biggest cities to slag each other.

    Can't say I've ever noticed any difference whatsoever, apart from the accents - and for every ear-piercing Cork accent on Patrick Street there's a bint with an ear-bleeding contrived posh accent hanging out by BT/BT2, Grafton Street. But you're from Cork and hate Cork - based on... probably your own personal experiences. But blame the geographical location and most of its people, that's the sensible thing to do...

    All of us? That's interesting... :rolleyes:

    All the "drown the Cork ****ers" comments are just funny, but stuff like the above, which is actually serious, is beyond idiocy...

    Perhaps you're not familiar with what the rest of the world knows as "the Irish condition"?

    We should supervise and study these Corkonians in order to see what nutrients their primitive brains may provide for the rest of us norms.

    Fantastic idea. Should have done it decades ago.

    Why would you want nutrients from primitive brains,surely you should study what nutrients your superior brain can provide for the less cerebral.

    I don't mind cork people as long as I don't hear them.

    There are two accents that go through me, the London cockney accent and the cork accent.

    Just another quick point for cork people:

    I checked the dictionary and there is no word "ye" in there. perhaps you mean "you" or "you all" ???

    You know Cork folk and Dublin folk can talk s**t about each other as much as they want but deep down each knows that if the other one where to be wiped off the map tomorrow, they would miss the old enemy. Just like Tom and Gerry.

    I was going to give a sensible, rational reply as to why my home county of Cork should not be it's own country. However, that other Cork thread has thought me that every Cork person is a loud, ignorant, arrogant arsehole who pisses on other people's stuff when on holiday.

    Therefore, my reply shall have to be:
    "Aw yeah biy, shur Cark is da real capital anyway like, shur every feen knows dat biy!
    Fuccin Dublin langers can feck off like, fuccin' scandalous city. And as for da rest of the fuccin' country, fuccin backwards culchies with sh!te GAA teams.
    Like y'know yerself dat Cark is fuccin SAVAGE. People's Republic of Cark for da motherfuccin' WIN!!1!!"
