And here's me seeing the funny side, without criticising the spelling.

The ignorence of the Dublin people is staggering, in terms of what lies outside their borders. They are similar to the rednecks in the U.S who have never been outside their state. I had to produce a map to a woman recently who refused to believe KK and Waterford were in the South East, she thought they were in the south west.

Aside from that is has to be the midlands region as a whole. I'm talking Offaly, Laois, parts of Kildare etc. The people are so backward and rude its unreal.

Go on....please


Where are you from btw?

Well that is a very sweeping generalisation. Why only parts of Kildare?! Enlighten me!

I'm from the sunny south east. The kinds of stuff I'm talking about in the midlands are senior management in a large global pharmaceutical plant cleaning their teeth with sellotape/paper clips or basically anything they can find during meetings, not holding the door for the people in the corridor, constant nose picking, bad hygiene, big stupid laughs, unusually large population of short, fat females, terrible accents. General bad manners as a whole.

I encountered while working there for a period. I'm a GAA player, well used to a bit of roughing it, and I've spent times in lots of towns and counties in Ireland, so I'm not someone who works in a library who went on a day trip once.

Newbridge and surrounding area. Athy also. It seems towns like Naas and around the commuter belt have more of a mix of people from around the country and are less inward looking. Just my take on things.

So you are basing your impression of the midlands on a group of people who work in company that you also happen to work for?!!

googlefan

No, I'm talking of two major employers in the region employing over 1,500 people each. I've talking about living in the region and playing a large amount of sport in the region.

Don't pick on me if you don't like my opinions, they are a popular sentiment both here and across the wider population.

So funny, all I saw there was "love cock" and "my missus".

Then I read it again. It's ok now.

googlefan

Ha, should have said mostly a GAA player. Known to play soccer, rugby and tennis to a high level also. Wasn't much of these in the midlands either!!!

Haven't been to Roscommon though-I'll leave them out.

I am from the midlands and I could not agree with you more, mind you the rest of Ireland is not too far behind. There is a prevalent culture of sneering, condescension, and of putting everyone down.

The Celtic tiger spawned the crassest, undignified and crudest culture here that I should not even be using the word culture to describe it as it is one thing that is completely lacking.

Tbh, if the whole stack of cards come tumbling down and we have to start again from nothing, I for one would not shed a whole lot of tears, and from what I can see of the Government, they are about to do that albeit a slow death over several years.

btw I have always found the people south of the country to be a lot more civilised.

fryup

they should simply rename Co Louth ...Co Provo

i mean even the kids there wear balaclavas

I dont like the midlands to much,far to flat!

Donegal is over-rated. It's 2 cities separated by a giant mountain range.

Wexford, because of the accent :rolleyes:

I'm from Dublin so naturally I'll say Cork With Mayo and some parts of Sligo not too far behind! (Ballymote is dismal!)

Sligo and Mayo. They're black holes of rain and misery disguised as counties.

Sligo's not all bad, Enniscrone is basically it's saving grace. Were it not for Enniscrone, I'd probably choose Sligo as being the worst county.
