    Pride in your county :cool:
    You would not even dream of buying a second hand car with a reg from your fierce rivals over the border
    You shall have your county colours out during championship season, you will even use chalk to write good luck on the main road in the village


    The Brits don't have this passion, well maybe the cricketers do but it's not as intense

    Why would you wear a jersey under a jersey?

    Irish people love saying 'runners' instead of trainers, sneakers etc!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Sneakers?
    You'd sound like a Yank if you said that

    I'm just trying to put across the point that nowhere else in the world do people refer to them as 'runners' only here!

    Aye, not doubting ya jockey lad

    You like dinner in the middle of the day, around midday. And that's it, that's all you eat until supper at 8pm, no wonder I was a scrawny slim young lad

    Potatoes every day, pasta is for them eye talians. Rice is considered exotic, I certainly never had rice at home growing up.

    Jelly and icecream is a special treat. As for vienneta, that's for rich people!

    Terrified of leaving the immersion on and in mortal fear of ESB bills, you will ensure you don't mess this up

    Judge a car by the year on the reg.

    2litre of milk is known as a gallon of milk

    Talk about mpg yet you don't buy fuel by the gallon and roadsigns are in km. Why has mpg not died out?

    Take your car for a spin but make sure you don't spin it

    On your drive you'll see the wasters from the council leaning on their shovels as if the weight on the world was on their shoulders

    The corpo became the council over a decade ago but you still call it the corpo

    If you are a farmer you give the nazi salute, if you live rural thou shalt salute everyone with a subtle tap on the steering wheel. You will be known as a snob if you fail to salute

    You like to stand at the back of the church or outside on the porch, sitting down is for women and children

    You like a grand short mass and you like when the priest works something about GAA into their sermon. Yes, this happens :)

    You spent the first 10-15 minutes of the mass praying he won't give a sermon so you can get home earlier to watch the Beatbox......and you spent the journey home praying that Smiley Bolger's 'segment' on the Beatbox was over when you got back :pac:

    Old priest in Armagh one Sunday: "And no excuses on account of the football next week, I'll be going to Clones myself."
    Following sunday he said a 20 minute mass and wished the county team all the best.

    LOL; you should try living here. I assure you, they have patriotism & jingoism down to a fine art.

    I don't get this pride lark, tbh. It's all rather parochial and twee in the grand scheme of things, dontcha think?

    If the priest in our parish knew that there was a match on he would say a 20 minute mass with no cernon, every other time its 45 minutes

    Making sure you get so drunk that you can barely tell the difference between your arse and your elbow, before you ever work up the courage to hit on a girl that you like.

    Talking to women whilst sober is gay.
