Things you see in the countryside. Thread.

Ajsoprano

A load of lads bragging about how early they get up in the morning.
The lads that have to get the bus to Dublin get up the earliest unless it’s lambing season.

Your Face

All I knows is them Duke boys better keep outta trouble.

Nitrogan

Thorn bushes

They're a health and safety risk for city folk.

I know land is very wet at the moment, but I doubt you saw that in the countryside.

A good old fashioned pheasant lynching.
Sends a message to other pheasants who might have notions.

People using the word "townies".

"Professional drinkers" thumbing at the side of the road, headed for the nearest pub.

Council road works signs still up eons after work actually finished up.

Teddies in GAA colours strung up on telegraph poles.

Ralf and Florian

Dubs driving around looking for houses to burgle.

The vast amount of cow herds and sheep flocks walking casually on the road. There's a huge cattle farm on the road to the next village where my son goes to school and they'd usually start bringing the cows to the field just before 9. Funny to see city folks flipping it.

Townies power walking down the middle of the road wearing headphones and totally oblivious to vehicles behind them. Nor can they hear the birds singing.

Also tractors going 30 max. So many of them.

In general D-plates being stuck behind something that doesn't go max speed, funny to watch the aura of pure hate building up around the car.

No thats a sweeping generalisation... The thread is about things that actually happen.

Known it to happen, not first but definitely second cousins. Once stopped a slagging match in work between a lad from Donegal and Roscommon by saying hands up which one of ye has shagged your cousin, knowing one of them openly admitted to it the rest of the team before the other lad joined us.

Always the exception to the rule. Could happen without you knowing in Dublin due to size of the population and more disconnected families.

A mucky Pajero at a forestry entrance with a little boxy trailer behind it for the dog

Bouncy castles everywhere around communion time

A cottage with a pitched roof at the sides and coal smoke billowing out the chimney

Clothes hanging out on the line without some keep up with the joneser trying to put a stop to it

A red massey ferguson with a rusty bucket on the back going up a road with grass in the middle.

Some girls in GAA jerseys and track bottoms leaving supermacs and cramming into the back of an old Toyota

A border collie running around some fellas yard chasing the cat out of boredom

A pub in the middle of nowhere with an absolute sh1tload of cars parked outside it on a Saturday night.

On a Monday night you could bump into Backwards Man. If yer up in the wilds of nowhere up the NW and hear a Duran Duran number echoing between the peaks and valleys between midnight and the witching hour it's probably him.
