Mayonnaise wasn't actually invented there or produced in any significant quantity

The town of Cringeford may not actually exist

Today is Séptimo de Mayo.

Mixing it with ketchup results in pink sauce.

My great grandmother was from Mayo but she fell for the charm of my northern great-grandfather and moved up.

I can't think of anything interesting though.

No wait, UNinteresting you say? the gaelic football teams failure

Sky King · 07-05-2014 10:47pm

55% of all replies to this thread are going to reference mayonnaise.

The major export of Mayo is Gardai.

Deco99 · 07-05-2014 10:51pm

I've never been there... who was interested to find out that?

It's about as pointless as this thread.

The Plaza de Mayo is not in Mayo.

TeddyTedson · 07-05-2014 11:24pm

Vegetarians cannot eat Mayo.

Ihatecuddles · 07-05-2014 11:27pm

I went there once. It was for a NoName event. The NoName club was for teens who decided to stay away from the drink/sex scene and be wholesome and kind to each other.

What a load of sh*t that was. 400 16 year olds in sleeping bags in one room and not one finger bang or naggin.

Knock airport was built with NATO money..

there, I said it.. I feel better now.

The virgin Mary appeared there once, then she left...

The capital of the Republic of Connacht was in Mayo (Castlebar). It's one of the shortest lived countries to ever have existed. All those Corkonians talk about being a "republic" but at least we went out and actually did it!!:D

We were technically at war with Portugal, the Holy Roman Empire, Russia and Prussia among others but never fought them (from 27th August to 8th September 1798).

SamAK · 07-05-2014 11:42pm

I know a d1ckhead called Chris who lives in Mayo.

Fact.

you left out your Cavan cousins though, they were a part of Connacht a few hundred years before

I grew up in England and spent 6 weeks of the summer in Mayo (dad/family live there) and I used to cry every time I left. Yeah, I know there are much better places in Ireland/the world, but when you have to go back to a sh*thole like England, Mayo became my favourite place.

Then I moved to Ireland and now Galway city is my actual favourite place. So slag Mayo all ye want, but it made me love Ireland and want to move here the minute i turned 18 (which i did). I have also never returned to England and you couldn't pay me millions to either.

Ah sure they were always province hopping. They've been part of Mide (the 5th province), then Connacht (with parts in Leinster) and finally Ulster. Munster never got a go at all.

Did NATO donate the dough?

Mayo was invented because culchies had no where to go on holidays. It was once un-inhabited but bog hoppers that started holidaying there got lost and so settled there rather than try and find their way out.

There are no maps of mayo just representations of what people think it might look like, if anyone actually cared.

Mayo gets 1.27 days of sunshine a year, I think or maybe it's 1.27m of rain. Either way, it has a bit of weather now and then.

The capital of Mayo is 'M'

Girls outnumber goats by 6 to 1 in Mayo.

It is illegal to leave your chickens outside in a storm in Co Mayo.

All first born children in Mayo are given names according to how many teeth their mother has left at the time of their birth.

No one from Mayo has ever appeared on Fair City.

Sandwiches are not the same without Mayo!

WilyCoyote · 08-05-2014 12:49am

Ah Lads and Lasses. I must stand up and be counted here. Spent my secondary schooling there in boarding school up to the Leaving Cert.
We have reunions there every few years - great craic.
Mass every morning but it was there that I first read The Origin Of The Species and Man's Place In Nature. I left a full blown atheist to the chagrin of my parents

That was in the mid 60s and there were only two other healthy people in my parish in Kerry that did not go to Sunday Mass.

My geography teachers always claimed Ireland's only fjord was on the Mayo-Galway border. I have since discovered there are two more. Not only was this uninteresting, it's not even a fact.

Funnily enough a woman from Castlebar was on it once and they wouldn't shut up about it.

It's pronounced Mayeoooooooogh!

We had a religion teacher from Mayo in secondary school. He spent most of the class talking about his girlfriend or about the time he was hitching from Galway back home to Claremorris the lad that picked him up tried to molest him in the car...
