    Right.... So I suppose Cork, Galway, Limerick, Kilkenny,Waterford and Belfast don't exist... (I probably left a really obvious one out!)

    Kilkenny isn't a city. There are towns bigger than Kilkenny City. Newbridge, Naas, Drogheda etc.

    It's not a city. Only Kilkenny people think it is!

    be more useful if we each gave a bit of a review for the cites, if been to too many to do that how about pick the ones you liked best?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,039 ✭✭✭MJ23


    Was in Cork once, they speak with a very unusual accent, sounds like they're singing. They say 'like' many times in every sentence, they seem to think that they're better than every other county in Ireland, and the seem to think that Cork is the "real capital liiike, d'ye knooooow liiike"
    Wont be going again

    Ireland: Dublin, Galway.
    UK: Belfast, London, Cardiff.
    Sweden: Stockholm.

    Discover Ireland website: http://www.discoverireland.com/us/ireland-places-to-go/areas-and-cities/kilkenny-city/

    There is a forum on boards called Kilkenny CITY.

    http://www.myguideireland.com/kilkenny-city

    http://www.lonelyplanet.com/ireland/county-kilkenny/kilkenny-city

    http://www.letsgo.com/17233-ireland-travel-guides-southeast_ireland-kilkenny_city-c

    But I suppose all those websites are wrong too.:rolleyes:

    And the reason I said Belfast is because I live there for part of the year and it came to mind. The discussion about whether it is part of Ireland is for a whole other thread.

    Well, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece, while I've sipped champagne on a yacht.

    I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got .

    I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
    I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
