    Well, it isn't Croke Park and it isn't the other 31 counties, so it maybe related to that.

    It wasn't just Dublin fans if that's what you're trying to get at.

    Their obsession with GAA. And the constant wearing of their local club tracksuits.

    Personally, they are selfish morons, so full of personal outrage, they can't see the big picture!

    But yes, it generally wouldn't be bleeding hearts!

    Maybe you could give a few examples?

    In your other thread about history and the English language i kinda of felt sorry for you when people were giving you a hard time because it was a base for a good discussion.

    Now this thread bites the biscuit. Your looking for an argument.

    Go away please.

    I have it when tools like yourself say 'mate' in an attempt to be English. Piss off and live over there then. Your an embarrassment.

    I'm sure the following issues aren't exclusive to Ireland, I'm just going to talk about what I've seen as prominent within Irish society:

    People living in their ivory tower, claiming to be all for something, until the issue arrives on their front door step.

    The culture of nepotism in this country, where people like to brag about how they're self made when in reality, they walked straight into a handy number from college because of the people they know. This isn't begrudging, this is about paying your dues like the rest of us "ordinary plebs".

    The insincerity of some Irish people. I don't want you to be one of those rude idiots who like to think "they're telling it like it is" when in reality they're just *****. But seriously, how you can brown nose people and lie to their face while keeping a straight face is beyond me. Well done really.

    People who go on about being a Sinn Fein or Fianna Fail "family" for generations and who will vote for SF or FF solely on this basis. No wonder we're ****ed more so than other countries when you have clowns like this living in Ireland.

    I think that's enough for now.

    No matter where you are there will always be something that annoys you.

    The recent phenomenon of entitlement, that you should automatically get a high paid job out of college, that just because you work somewhere for x years you should get a payrise regardless of performance, that you should automatically get a bonus every year, etc

    That everything revolves around drink and getting pissed. Anytime I am back in Ireland and I ring up mates or family and suggest meeting up, 10 times out of 10 they will suggest the pub. It's as if people don't know what else to do.

    It's considered polite to use real English words on this forum so that other people can understand. If we all spoke gibberish it would just be a pointless mess of ASCII characters.

    What would you do if someone showed up on your doorstop and offered you a great job? You'd be forced to refuse surely?

    People always talking about the weather, and never happy with it. Fúcking move away if it affects you that much.
    The obsession with the GAA, Fúcking mad men swinging sticks at each other,
    Stupid accents, like the Cork and Nornern Narnin accent,
    Why Cork people think Cork is the "real capital like"
    Farmers tans

    I don't see the point in your hypothetical situation because it would never happen.

    Furthermore, if in the unlikely event that it did happen, I would be humble enough not to spin yarns about being self made. I'd accept that I was very fortunate, and would focus all my energy on doing a great job to prove that I was worthy of such an opportunity.
