can we not have a worst thing about your county thread ?
Irish site...we dont understand this positive stuff.


Best ?

Limerick is pretty handy driving wise, can get to Dublin or Cork in 90 mins or so, well the outskirts of Dublin anyway, Galway is an hour tops up the motorway, Clare and it's seaside even less. So basically the best thing about Limerick is getting out of Limerick :pac:

RikkFlair

Richard Harris
Aphex Twin
Ciaran Carey
Vincent Browne
Terry Wogan
Paul O'Connell
The Treaty Stone
The River Shannon
The Rathkeale Holy Stump
The ghost in the Milk Market

RayM

Wicklow -

1. Its proximity to Dublin
2. Mountains on one side
3. Sea on the other

I can't really think of anything else, but those things are enough.

Best ?

Bit old but close enough:
Carlow = Mad for sugar beat cant get enough of it Hobbies:Growing sugar Beat


Cavan = filthy, ignorant hillbillies, tight. Hobbies: discovering IRA ammo dumps and knitting black balaclavas.


Clare = fiddle-playing charming people and, more recently, fine hurlers Hobbies: Falling into pot-holes and being never heard from ever again, setting up golf courses in their back lawns.

Cork = the loveable rogues of Ireland. Here for everyone else’s entertainment. Hobbies: Milking cows, being European capital of culture but not knowing what exactly that means or how they got it boy?

Donegal = away in their own world up there, not much known about this eccentric type. Hobbies: Stripping the Irish coast of fishies, running back up to their corner of the island and blaming the spanish….aye twas the spanish!!

Dublin North = criminals, drug dealers and factory workers, dirty women, skinheads and all-round examples of human waste. Hobbies: Heroin and watching serial numbers being filed off stolen BMW's, joy-riding anything from a lexus to a washing machine.
Dublin South = west Brits, snobs, rich, easy glamorous women. Hobbies: talking sh*te and sleeping with their best friend's spouse or mother.

Galway = sophisticated culchies, sexually adventurous, cultured and wealthy. Hobbies: Teaching sex acrobatics to foreign tourists, dropping acid, juggling with fire on the streets, paying a million euros for a three bedroom suburban house and pretending it was a bargain.

Kerry = God’s kingdom on earth, no doubt about it. Some of the best land in Ireland but they don’t tell anyone this. Hobbies: Football, swimming with dolphins, football, seeing how many foreigners they can score each year, football, hosting a massive festival every week, football, going to the south pole and football.

Kildare = is anyone really from Kildare or are they all just from Dublin? Hobbies: Denying they have anything to do with Dublin. Spending best part of 4 hours each day travelling to and from Dublin. Using Daz for whiter than white jerseys on a summer’s day.

Kilkenny = red haired alcoholics who refuse to believe not all land in Ireland is capable of growing barley and wheat “not a bother”. Hobbies = driving massive combines, hosting comedy festivals and having red-haired babies.

Laois = harmless aul bunch of lads, hope to have the whole county by-passed at some stage by 2025 so they can get on with their own business. Hobbies: Living an honest life, collecting EU development grants, getting the p*ss taken out of them for being the queen’s county…haha ye plantation bast*rds!

Leitrim = enigmatic reclusive weirdos. Hobbies: learning about traffic lights and roundabouts in school (night school for adults that is)

Limerick = grand place, great sports people, city has bad reputation through no fault of its own. Hobbies: stabbing people, gang-land murders, drug hauls, graffiti spraying, joy-riding….

Longford = Gombeen men. Hobbies: Legalising bestiality.

Louth = IRA supporters, smugglers and bandits. Hobbies: Tearing through Cooley at 125MPH trying to stop the boxes of cheap vodka from falling out the window.

Mayo = Depressing, defeatist, negative, misery-laden losers, emigrate as soon as the umbilical cord is cut. Hobbies: roaring about how great they are, whinging about why nobody likes them.

Meath = either Dublin wannabes or mad country bucks. Hobbies: Beating Dublin at GAA and hoping that one day somebody in Dublin will actually notice, driving massive john deere’s cos they’re big, green and yellow too.

Offaly = Bog. Hobbies = exploiting bogs and later making them into tourist attractions…hats off!

Roscommon = flat county, a silage pit is a mountain. Hobbies: Sheep-stealing.

Sligo = either in their 20s and a surfer or in their 80s and a granny, no in-betweens. Hobbies: Surfing and knitting wet-suits for their grand children.

Tipperary = promiscuous girls, Tipp does not have two different Ridings for nothing! Hobbies: Getting a flat in Dublin and losing their accents and hoping their parents don't find out.

Waterford = decent honest hard-workers generally good folks. Hobbies: Calling a strike.


Westmeath = like most midlanders, generally boring. Hobbies, much like some people up north, winning one football title and then believing they know it all about football.

Wexford = Brown earth you’d wanna take home in your pockets. Hobbies = selling their “home-grown” organic fruit (bought at supermarket that morning) at the side of the road in summer and ripping-off gullible Dubliners out for a drive in the country. Also beating Kilkenny in hurling and going on the p*ss for the rest of the summer (with the team).

Wicklow = either country snobs with range rovers or poor aul sheep farmers with peak caps and a small black and white sheep dog with dirt all over him. Hobbies: setting up illegal dumps in their back lawns and denying all knowledge of that 300,000 tons of asbestos, nappies and syringes. Never saw it til now your honour.

Monaghan is missing, but did anyone really notice?

Excellent, the sooner you start the better!

Louth can be good craic if ya look for it. Cooley mountains are scenic and easy to get to, nice beaches and Carlingford is nice. Plus ya got the border nearby for when things are cheaper up there.

Yes coz its the one I went looking for straight off as its as close to home as anywhere in Ireland will be.

The best things about Monaghan are:

1. Tommy Bowe.....a perfect specimen of a man.
2. Less than an hour and a half to Dublin Airport, Dublin Port, Belfast Airport, Belfast Port so its handy to get my sister home.
3. McKenna's pub on Dublin Street in Monaghan - wicked little pub where the craic can be had til Seamie thinks you are finally drunk enough to go to Mizzonis. McKenna's
4. We are mad hures for the auld bit of acting - home to Charlene McKenna, Aoibhiann McGinity, Catriona Balfe, Ruth McCabe, Ardal O'Hanlon, Pat Deery, Nick Lee and others who will undoubtedly follow in their footsteps.
5. Stunning drumlins with a lake around almost every corner, its a little piece of landscape painters heaven.
6. The mad feckers from the now sorta closed Mental Hospital who add a flavour of fun to the town....(RIP Mickey McEnaney and Terry)
7. We get to pretend that Carrickmacross is really part of Louth unless they do something useful.
8. Doohamlet Hey.
9. Our beloved eccentric Sir Jack Leslie and his beautiful home. Having an old boy in his 90's leaping around a nightclub is not something you will find in most counties.
10. Clones........a tiny town with a colossal impact on the sporting, literary and movie world..........shur it had one of them Star Wars movies named after it didn't it?

Come to Monaghan - The nicest accents in Ireland when you get north of Blayney.

Exactly, I'll never understand this "I'm a proud xxxx man" stuff. If you live on one side of many towns, you can be in a different county. Does that make you culturally different?

If Wicklow, for example, has magnificent mountains, they are as much mine as anyone from Rathdrum

County Laois… hmmm… hmmm…

Dry stone walls with fossils and quartz in them,
Lambs,
The slap of salt air when you get off the train,
The clarity, almost telescopic, of far-off details when the clouds are coming in low from the bay,
The giddy feeling jumping off the tower at Blackrock,
Turloughs,
Being able to see the Milky Way in places far from streetlight,
Turf fires,
The colours in seashells,
Midsummer nights.

Katgurl

It's the capital
It's by the sea
Airport for quick getaways
People are better looking
Employment opportunities
Better restaurants
Better cafes
Better shops
Better transport system
Direct roads to everywhere else

But that's just all relative to how appallingly crap the rest of the country is

rolliepoley

Dublin bay, lovely to see when comming in on a boat.
Dublin city, because we are the envy of the whole country.
The smell of guinness's, for me it just brings back memorys of old Dublin.
The Liffey, because it stinks of Dublin, literally
The Dart, practically grew up on it. if you have the pleasure of traveling on it from Howth or Malahide to Greystones, there is some great scenery.
The St Patricks day festival.
The people, characters, so many different walks of life.
Croke park. for any event.
Its history.

Also from Meath, though I no longer live there so I was going to write "all roads leading out of it"!

However, we do have quite a few grand castles and big houses, not to mention round towers and high crosses and ringforts etc!
Great for the tourists. Not much else happening in the county though!
