Being from the South East??

So what do you like about being from the South East - anything??? or do you hate it???

azezil · 24-10-2003 5:34pm

mild summers snow in winter

Mossy Monk · 24-10-2003 7:42pm

being from the south east means i am very close to a Cork accent (about 20 miles) which i have avoided

no offence to Cork

technobob · 28-10-2003 4:50am

Knowing that this area has been continually inhabited since the end of the last Ice Age. Knowing that Waterford is the oldest city in Ireland. The trees and the weather and being near the sea.

The bad thing about the SE is that the scum in the Dublin government have made a right hash of the infrastructure and it is quicker to get to London than to Dublin. And as for the Radiotherapy situation - I really hope those politicians responsible die screaming.

The mild weather, less snow, frost and ice as a result.. although
whoever came up with that slogan the "Sunny Southeast"
should be kicked around the place...

The nice coastline and beaches, without being battered to hell
like the west coast..

The house prices are still reasonable compared to Dublin, Cork
and Galway...

Thats about all I can think of at the moment, although Im sure
that Ill think of some later..

Unfortunately Im stuck in Dublin at the moment and it seems for
a few years yet. But hopefully Ill get to move back there soon and
to somewhere near the beach and some fresh air.. :rolleyes:

misswex · 29-10-2003 9:42am

Yeah the beaches down this way are fantastic!!!

Glad you agree..

The Tramore beach really is a dream to walk on on a Sunday morning!

misswex · 30-10-2003 9:31am

I reckon around The Raven in Curracloe is the best place for a walk - absolutely gorgeous!!!

ToxicPaddy · 30-10-2003 6:10pm

Curracloe is lovely...

Yeah Tramore is lovely too.. as is woodstown and clonea strand
is not too bad..

so your a dub from the southeast who wants to be a westie? right.

I want peoples opinion, does tramore have a bad rep? Ive talked to a few people (not from tramore) who have said it has a bad rep and it considered a bit of a sh*thole. is this true???

technobob · 06-11-2003 10:15pm

or ya mad?

tramore is full of surfer chicks and cool dudes !!

with a few scumbags thrown in for good measure

kano476 · 07-11-2003 12:13am

well it wouldnt be your irish town without the token scumbags would it?

cool you make it sound like baywatch.

technobob · 07-11-2003 12:23am

only difference is that the girls dont run in slow motion

benny · 07-11-2003 2:17pm

I hate Tramore but then Im old.used to bring the kids to Tramore every sunday when they were on school hols.I hate the smell of the chips the smell of the amusements, the scum of Dublin use the place a a holiday resort as do a lot of northern folk.im my opinion its a slags paradise.....but hey .whatever floats yer boat.:) The beach is nice, but too many dogs.

technobob · 07-11-2003 2:24pm

thats only for about 2months of the year though
the other ten months its nice and peaceful
and baywatchesque

benny · 07-11-2003 2:27pm

OK Ill take your word for it..but i still dont like Tramore.....hehehe

kano476 · 08-11-2003 12:40am

hehe some of em do but its nothing to do with being on camera. they just slow. Have to say tramore has a bit of talent though.

Ah the dubs I dont like. dont get me wrong most dubliners like any other county (cept wexford) are lovely people. its just a load come down to tramore, hang around the amusements and the arcades and try to cause trouble. thats the part of summer I hate. I worked in a caravan park for the summer and I have to say that the people from the north were the friendliest out of the lot and I found that a lot of irish people were just plain ignorant.

Tramore is a ghost town for 10 months of the year. at times its nice but other times it bores the fook out of ya. Beach is ok as long as you dont look over the back of the hill running along it!

Gearoid · 08-11-2003 5:07pm

well tbh the southeast has a bit of everything doesn't it, mountains beaches and all that, loads if u're into outdoors and sports, it has waterford city and the other towns. near enough to Cork and Dublin, even got a Gaeltacht!. though it can be fair boring a most of the time......

AdMMM · 09-11-2003 11:33pm

Tramore is a ****hole in the Summer alright. But as you move further up town, it's okay!

Musashi · 12-11-2003 8:53pm

Some of the best diving in the world!
Good roads!
Good clubs
Nice folks
The Gyms are ok
You can learn new skills!
Tramore is ok but try the Gold Coast!
Clonea has dangerous currents so take care!
Stradbally has killer beaches. literally!
Dive the Iron Man,Black Rock and East Rock!

benny · 13-11-2003 1:44pm

I have dived in Tramore and the metel man.....and I still think Tramore stinks.Way too many dogs ****ting in the prom!!! Can we change the subject?

misswex · 13-11-2003 2:59pm

What would you like to change the subject to???

misswex · 14-11-2003 9:47am

ToxicPaddy · 14-11-2003 2:50pm

Waterford - Tonys on The Glen (beside the forum)
Tramore - Beach Grill in Summer and Cunninghams in Winter

misswex · 14-11-2003 3:26pm

Never been to those delightful premises I'm afraid!!

Heh, I don't think so. Most of the roads here are sh1t - anyone who's ever driven the N9/N10 (N10 merges with N9 around ballyhale i think) between waterford and kilkenny will agree. The N9 only seems to get good once you pass Paulstown co. Kilkenny on the way to Carlow/Dublin. Even then its still a twisty bastard!

kano476 · 15-11-2003 12:49am

killkenny road n9 only crap cox killkenny ppl dont want them going to waterford to shop etc. killkenny sucks tuc. id hate 2 live there. n25 is a joy 2 drive on its cury like jlo on a hot day.

best chippy is tonys in tramore or bitch grill, sorry beathc grill. but not BURGER MAX IN WEXFORD THAT SMELLY ROTTEN STUFF served by fat yong ones.

whoa stop spinning room plz

Stephen · 15-11-2003 4:19pm

man, so many waterford people have chips on their shoulders about Kilkenny.

bkehoe · 15-11-2003 9:48pm

The road to Kilkenny from newross is crap too.

There's a Tonys in new-ross as well btw.

Stephen · 15-11-2003 10:20pm

There's a Tony's in Carlow as well, lovely burgers and fish. Though it is over the bridge in Graiguecullen, so I think it may technically be in county laois!

edit: which reminds me, the carlow-portlaoise road is also an utter piece of $hit. Lots of dangerous bends and steep drops off the side of the road.

benny · 17-11-2003 1:35pm

Yeah .change the topic to..........Why do so many men LIE??

ToxicPaddy · 17-11-2003 6:24pm

Cause if they tell the truth, women slap them...

Example:

Question "Does my ass look big in this"

Truth: Yeah it does a bit alright

Result: Slap across face

Lie: No not at all dear, you look lovely..

Result: Nice smile and a few more moments peace..

benny · 17-11-2003 7:38pm

AHHHHHHAHAHA well thats good.......

Being from the South East??
