Are there any ''Real Culchies or Muckers'' Left ?

andym1

A few years back Dec 8th was the day the Culchies came to Dublin en masse to shop in Dublin in the ''Big Shops''. Now they have a big shop beside them, Tesco. Pennys, Easons, Harvey Norman ets.
They also have internet, online shopping etc so the day of the ''Culchie'' is gone as they can get whatever they want without coming to the ''Big Schmoke'' I think Culchies are a thing of the past. Pity ! Who will I slag now ? Are you still a Mucker ?

The junkies that line the streets of Dublin.

I'll just open my popcorn and sit back and watch the Dublin verses Culchie war unfold before me.

Coppers ?

I'm born and bred in the back arse of nowhere and never had to go to Dublin to buy anything. We've always had shops here. Why do you need to slag culchies? Why don't you slag the Dubs who relocated to the countryside during the boom?

shedweller

Plenty not too far from me. I'd be considered a culchie where i work but the real culchies near me make me look like i live on ailesbury road and have a chauffeur!

syklops

So because you don't see them going up to Dublin on the 8th of December anymore, in your eyes they ceased to exist?

You obviously weren't just listening to Derek Mooney. Ritchie Kavanagh was on with his new song. While he is cutting albums, there is proof the culchie is not extinct yet.

Shenshen

Sure there's always IKEA?

kneemos

No proper culchie would know how to use the internet.

I have a voice like the 'Stand Clear, Luggage Doors Operating' man on Bus Eireann buses. And I've chased some cows up a road with a stick while going 'gwan, woop' in the last six months. And I love ham and cheese sandwiches with a bag of Tayto.

Take yourself off down to Kerry and ask someone down there to direct you to the Healy-Rae household.

That should sort your craving for culchies/muckers.

Delhi, Mumbai and Jakarta are among the biggest. Pure size is a fairly useless measure of a city's worth.

Wibbs

Nothing wrong with Culchies and I say that as a Dub going back many generations. Boggers on the other hand... though they're to be found in equal numbers in rural and urban areas. The Healy-Rae's would be a good match for boggers, they just happen to be from the countryside. Bertie Ahern another bogger, who just happens to be from the city.

Yup, me and all belong to me.

If the admins would give me my culchie forum then we could avoid all this.

Rasheed

Any amount of them round here. I drink in an aul man's pub and the organic smell of cattle shiite when the mart finishes on a Friday is woeful.

All the talk is about the price of land, the state of Roscommon football and how will they cut turf without being caught this year.
