We don't get caught up in the whole 'one is better than the other debate'

I like to see people from Dublin giving out about the amount of skangers in one thread while proclaiming how it's the best place in Ireland in another thread.

Our Car Insurance is Cheaper

Our House Insurance is Cheaper.

If you drive a Mondeo(D reg) you're not driving an unmarked Garda Car.

You're not a stuck up asshole because you are from Dublin.

You don't sound stupid because you are from Cork.

You don't pick out the smallest argument to make your city sound better than everybody else. "SUR' WE HAVE THE METRO/ECHO, WE ARE SO COOL"

You don't have such a strong accent that when Eircom uses a Dub accent for its criminals(on the radio) you don't get upset saying "People with Dub accents are not criminal". Umm Yes they ARE!

Going by the other two threads cant believe any one has said 'we're not from dublin or cork' yet

You must be a Dub, Hell is a great choice of name for the place. If I had a choice of being surrounded by fields of cow shyte or human shyte I would pick cow shyte any day

The midlands is the most rocking place in Ireland :cool:

And we're friendly.
If I'm out walking and you drive past me, you'll get a salute.

Yep. That's what decentralisation does for a city. It sends people down to Limerick from Dublin with their scumbag families.

Rural Ireland to me is like Ireland was before the boom and all the city folk got big heads.
Small towns means not much crime and not many beggars or junkies.
You say hello to others on the street.
You know your neighbours' names.

Visiting a big city like Cork or Dublin is a pain because there's so many frustrated drivers, there's no parking, everyone's rushing and when you try to chat a bit in the pub they stare at you like "don't you have friends??" - if you can understand their accent.
Also, why go there when London is only an hour away by plane and the infrastructure is so much better and everything cheaper.

I find that it is only mountain folk that do this. I never see it at sea level.

what makes you "special" is that being from the boonies your parents were probably already blood relatives before they married!!!

Mint Sauce

Laughing at all the inbreding comments, and are you saying this never happened in the cities or major urban centres. Ireland generally has a small gene pool all over.

Very few of those who left, never came back.

You do realise that marrying someone doesn't make you a blood relative of theirs right? A wedding ring doesn't change your genes I'm afraid.
