    Do some people not realise that the only time the 'real capital' thing is actually ever said, is when there's a Dub around to wind up?!

    Most Dubs get it, and have the craic.

    Some don't it seems.

    I love winding up the jackeens about that :pac:

    Usually when I go to a party in Dublin and am introduced to a new person this whole Cork Dublin thing is brought up in a jokey but snide way about me thinking that Cork is the real capitol or that I am on enemy territory or some such nonsense.

    I have to look at the person like they have two heads and tell them that no, we generally do not believe that we are the real capital or we don't actually hate Dublin people that it's all a myth. Which it is.

    I don't know where people get that impression and its a little tiresome.

    So speaking for a lot of Cork people, we really dont' give a **** about Dublin. It's not exactly on our minds. We have our own problems down here!

    Here’s one or two sayings around here

    And it all makes perfect sense to us.

    Limerick, now there's a city I love.

    You can ram Cork, hate the kip and everyone thing and everyone in and from it.

    The only time I mention Cork being the real capital or talk about being in enemy territory IS at parties in Dublin... Accent thickens by a factor of 10 as well. Sorree bai!

    Hold on,are you not a middle-aged man.This is the kind of rubbish a ten year old would spout.Btw,if you read the thread from the start the OP should not have been attacking Cork because the person in the Twitter link was from Donegal.

    I only recently discovered that Cork once had a tram network and the glorious Free State decided to scrap it.

    As a Dubliner, if there is one thing that boils my ****ing piss is that a shower of useless wasters let our tram system fall into utter disrepair and then finally scrapped it.

    If I were King of Ireland, I would dig up up every last arsehole who had a hand in the disembodiment of the Dublin tram network and declare them as enemies of the state and hang the ****ers posthumously.

    If I were a Corkman feeling deprived of my tram I would - with justification - vent my hatred at the Dublin shower for having visited this deprivation upon my town.

    Any hatred Cork people have or resentment i feel i have towards Dublin comes from the lack of investment in the county.We have the highest GDP in Ireland and our roards are in bits and public transport is non existant.not even a motorway joining us and Limerick ffs.Then we have to hear the Dubs complain about trivial things like whinging that their new council flower pots aren't pretty enough.It boils my piss!

    So what you're saying is we could get a good price for Cork on the market, sell it off and get some nicer flower pots for the Northsiders?

    Not a bad idea! Kudos.

    Here watching the local U5 girls hurling training.
    The start warming up on dummies dressed in Tipperary jeresys- gentle pulling accross the neck and face etc.
    Then they change the dummies for Kilkenny ones- hurleys dropped, helmets off. Kids tear in biting and pulling, scratching and clawing. Arms ripped off pure carnage. Pure hate.

    Dublin? These kids never heard of it. Dont flatter yourself Jackeen boi. We couldnt give a sh1t about the place!

    Do people not realise that it's only a pisstake for most Cork people? There's a small minority who actually believe Cork is the best place on Earth. For the rest it's just a way of being positive about your hometown and community. Generally there's a great bond amongst Cork people, I think this sort of thing only strengthens it. It's just a bit of fun...

    The worst I've seen is the Dublin airport takes all mentality. While not terrible on this Boards.ie, it's brutal and hilarious on Facebook!

    I actually quite like Dublin airport. Am I the only one?
