    I prefer the screw-on ones. Less chance of spoiling due to shrinkage.

    So we should really be waving the Tudor coat-of-arms at GAA matches? :D

    Yeah, but the Tudor coat-of-arms doesn't sell great southern fried chicken.

    I have it on good authority from a work colleague that anyone who lives outside the M50 is a culchie. I pointed out to him that this would include New Yorkers, Londoners, Parisians, Berliners etc. but he is adamant that this is the case.

    All this time I never knew! I'm devastated to learn I'm a Neilstown culchie.

    That might be the clumsiest attempt at verbosity I've ever seen. Leave the meandering stories to those with the cognizance to express them clearly

    As to the Capital of Ireland, Limerick was, Dublin is, and Cork will be.

    That's what I was always told.

    I was also told by a tearful ould fella that any day spent outside Cork was a day wasted.

    They are a proud people and a self sufficient people. Another 10 years of Fianna Fail, and these boys will grasp their opportunities. They won't be the capital, but they can lead the charge on a counterbalance to Dublin. Right now they need to big time sort out the CoCo and expand the city boundaries, it's constraining them.

    Ireland needs a strong Dublin, and Dublin needs a strong region (Cork Limerick Galway).

    Just heard the Cork Rose has been disqualified from this year's Rose Of Tralee. It seems her father filled out the contest application for her incorrectly. In the area under "Do not write in this space", he wrote "No bother biy".

    As a proud cork man, I laugh at these threads.

    We don't have an inferiority complex, the rest of the country just can't handle a county that is proud of its own unique culture and history. It's everyone else that has the inferiority complex.

    Was watching a documentary yesterday on people who work on the ports. At one point in the documentary they were in Cork and following the port's "person who drives the ship out of the harbour if required" (official title)

    He was generally talking through bits and pieces about ships. One point, "... she's currently maybe just a metre and a half from the sea bed. We call ships a she because, like women, you never know what the hell they're going to do."

    The mother is writing a complaint to rte as we speak.
