they have clearly never been to Dublin then:D

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.

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.

Super-Rush

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.

D'unbelievables ARE the best comedy act ever. Tis only Dubs that don't understand them. And you can't bate hang sammichs out of the boot on the way to Croke Park on All Ireland day
And don't get me started on the importance of road frontage...

Culchies do still exist, I'm proof.

101= going to the funeral of someone you never once spoke to but who once mowed hay for your grandfather in the fifties

Auldloon

Been a fair few years now since I pulled a beast out of a hole but my culchie roots are true. Still plenty proper culshies back west where I come from and if you live in a city you won't have ever met one.

I take it the OP has never read a thread in the Hunting or Farming+Forestry forums.

Or tried to buy/sell anything on DoneDeal..

Still a couple of million culchies in Ireland, and rightly so

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?

the dulchies? where i live in arklow is known as little dublin

TeddyTedson

I'm so glad I'm from the internet during threads like this.

Sound of Silence

I think the whole conflict between Townies and Culchies can be distilled down to one fundamental distinction:

Do you prefer the smell of manure or the smell of urine.
