Ireland's worst county?

bijapos

Carlow: only ever met one person from Carlow, she had massive tits, unoffensive place in a way.

Cork: cant vote for them as one of the best women I ever shagged is from Cork and I adore the female accents, great scenery too, Cork men are unbelievably annoying though.

Roscommon: from that fair county myself, and at least we have the odd success in football. The other great thing is that women have rarely if ever met someone from Roscommon so its a great chatting point, slightly exotic, a bit like being from a place like... Guinea Bissau,.... or Bhutan,... or Antartica.....:D

Longford gets it though, narrowly beating Offaly which has the Slieve Bloom mountains. Have to drive through Longford to get to Rosssieland but I still havent worked out where it starts... somewhere between Mullingar and Edgeworthstown. Ends at the bridge in Tarmonbarry so at least we know when we've arrived.

Football is a sh1te game. One hundred odd years of playing it and they still haven't worked out a rule for tackling - not one person knows what's allowed or not 15,000 frees per game on average.

Hurling is a real sport, that's why pansy counties don't play it.

It was scary! Michael Lyster summed it up for me in his very first comment to that eternal Mammy's Boy, Pat Spillane, at the break: "the whole nation is thinking once again that this is typical Kerry cutehoorism downplaying everything before the match and coming out with a performance like that"

Astonishing. Tyrone will work hard again this year.

I like mayo, ok they may have big cabbage eating heads, and the look of the famine is only a generation away, but ah, no i like'em.

Place i dislike most in Ireland.. Cant really think of one really.. Most of the border counties like Monaghan, Cavan and Louth can go fcuk them selves.

how did thier footballers do this year :pac:

worst county has to be waterford.

wtf is wrong with Waterford, nice beaches, mountains, scenery, shopping etc, people are friendly unless you are a jackeen who comes down for the weekend and takes the piss out of the locals who, on a Saturday night will probably slap you. And then proceed to spend the rest of the weekend in Tramore which really is a kip cause its full of jackeens and their spawn. (I actually like Dublin though)

The only problems I have are Kilkenny people coming down here for work (are there no jobs there!!!), gloat because they are all boggers born with hurleys in their hands (no bad feelings about last year....) and that we happen to be next door to them, they are everywhere. I like Wexico though, Wexicans are very friendly but a bit nuts - and they have cracking beaches, but on the other hand are awful drivers :eek: My €0.02 HB

Mayo is actually a really scenic and aesthetically rich place. I climbed Croagh Patrick years ago and stayed in Cathair na Mart/Westport. It is the cleanest, most innovative, culturally dynamic and most welcoming town I have ever been to in Ireland. It should be the template for every town on the island. I couldn't speak highly enough about it.

As a native Wexican I agree with everything you say. Including Tramore and the scumbags that holiday there, Kilkenny and the non stop hurling references and the bad driving (I did do my driving test in Waterford, refuse to say if I passed or failed though!)!! Spot on!!!

I just took it for granted that everybody knew Meath is the greatest place on the planet. Granted, your average marginalised Dubliner has succeeded in getting in the door of the Fifth Province, but it must also be noted that that door closes firmly just north of Ratoath and Ashbourne. Beyond that remains your average cultured and sophisticated Meathman toiling away on the soil, conversing in the local pub and plotting revenge on their neighbouring parish down on the pitch. Places like Skreen would stare dead the average Dublin barbarian should they brave the terrain and end up in the Yankees, Fox's or Swans.

We are just the best.

Well Offaly, or rather Tullamore, is organising the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann once again this month. And 200,000 - 250,000 people are expected to attend again this year, including 11,000 musicians: http://comhaltas.ie/events/detail/fleadh_cheoil_na_heireann_2009/.

Louis Walsh or MCD have nothing to do with it and it is entirely voluntary so it will all probably just be given a footnote by journalists, who as a rule like that little bit extra from promoters when they cover an event.

I know i saw it in print but still i cant imagine the fleadh getting more than the U2 gigs, Vovlo Ocean Race, Galway Races and Oxegen in only a matter of 3 days. I just cant!

Actually the more i think about it, that must be horse ****! must be! I don't mean to be a prick but i refuse to believe that!

oxygen is held in a small field, u2 attracted 240,000 over 3 nights to a stadium, galway races is just a race track and that attracts 220,000, tullamore is a decent sized town, its a much bigger area that the other things you mentioned for one so its not hard to believe it could attract upwards of 200,000 people, the new years eve celebration behind the brandenburg gate in berlin attracts 1 million+ in one night and that isn't a huge area either (stretches about 1km or so down), i was there last year

I have seen some of the worlds best F1 drivers of the past 10-20 years drive in person the likes of Schumacher, Alonso, Hamilton, Senna and by god some of the stuff my nephew did at the under-8's pitch-n-putt tournament last Sunday was different class completely.
