Working with Boggers

Mr Whom · 21-01-2017 10:40PM #1

Like many people working in "The Big Schmoke" I find that my company has employed a relatively high proportion of boggers. These wonderful innocent creatures with their odd country ways often carrying a hurley or sod of turf in their weekend bag. I find a calmness about then and am happy they are among us. Do you have any interesting tales of their "ways"?

A bogger in my office (Canary Wharf in early 2000's) told a tale of how furious he was that someone else in his locality, back home, bid on a house he was bidding on. He was outraged at their actions; his was the first bid so no one else should have bid. He must have thought he was Bull McCabe...

I find the 'bogger' is not as prone to exaggeration as his city cousins.

They seem to prefer tea over coffee and are susceptible to catholic dogma

Sitting their in their tweed coats, munching away open-mouthed on a slab of donkey gudge and slurping from a mug of tea with right sugars. Absolute weapons.

A neighbour of mine, who lived on a cliff edge, had to get the landlady of the digs in Coventry he was staying in to throw a bucket of water at his bedroom window every night so he could get to sleep.

True story.

I thought I knew it all after I lived in Dublin for a couple of years until I moved to London. The people there are like aliens.

I'm a bogger, and work for a large financial institution in D4. Im surrounded by boggers, my whole team are culchies like myself, its great!

Im guessing they couldn't find any qualified jackeens to fill the roles...or boggers are just better.

Everyone in Ireland is a bit of a bogger. Dubs are slightly less boggerish, but they are boggers none the less.

Duckworth_Luas · 21-01-2017 11:43PM

Ugh, Jackeen bastards!

They love injecting themselves with heroin, asking for spare change, wearing filthy grey tracksuits, sticking their hands down the front of their tracksuit bottoms, stabbing people outside Abrakebabra, having witty nicknames like Deco for Declan, Johner for John, Anto for Anthony and Scumbag for everyone else, being illiterate, being the children or grandchildren of countryfolk, asking for spare cigarettes, having no cultural identity, telling their children to "**** off" while ordering chicken nuggets in McDonalds, growing up in a horrible estate, being significantly stupider than their parents and grandparents, injecting themselves with heroin again.

That's great, either way we don't ride our sisters and our men don't wear flared jeans / crosshatch / Subaru jackets so I think I'll stay content at being a big aul junkie from the flats cheers lol

Don't knock heroin till you've tried it.

I think it funny about they bitch about whatever hole they came from. Yet then bitch whole time about Dublin. How it is so big, everyone is so mean, how busy everyone is etc. That they are glad they never went to college here, as they would hate it even more.

But if you ask them about whether they move back to where ever they came from because they hate Dublin. They gave you a ton of reasons why they would never leave Dublin and where ever they came from is a kip

I honestly can't wrap my head about the boggers who moved up to Dublin about 20 years ago, but still go home to the west to vote.

Ever notice that you can never tell if an individual is from Donegal, Kerry, Wexford or Westmeath until you hear their accent, but you can tell a Jackeen bastard the second you unfortunately lay eyes on him.

During the 1890s, Lord Calverton, a British politician from Dublin, visited Dublin to study the effects of poverty in the slums which made up 110% of the city. He discovered that there were so many prostitutes in the city that many Jackeens regularly had intercourse with the mothers, grandmothers and sisters. This is the scientific explanation why so many of them look like Christy Dignam clones.

Heh, Perhaps if it's an Irish financial institution (or Irish control alot of hiring) they shred cvs with the "wrong" address or pfo people who turn up to the interview with the "wrong" accent?:)

Dr Crayfish · 22-01-2017 12:42AM

I've never lived in any other part of Ireland and rarely have reason to venture outside of Dublin as I tend to holiday abroad, but culchies are all welcome though, the guys I hang out with mostly these days are culchies that live here now.
I envy them with their full drivers licences though, at 36 I've yet to past my test. I cycle everywhere here but when I'm on holidays being able to rent a car would be nice instead of having to rely on others.
