What Counties have you never been to?

BoozyBabe · 21-02-2006 11:12AM #1

Ok, so we've done the which countries have you visited,
now it's time for which counties in Ireland have you NOT visited
(obviously only really intended for Irish boardsters)

Or if you're a Dub, it'd prob be easier for you to state which counties you HAVE visited (as we all know ye think the universe revolves around Dublin!!!):D

(em, sorry!):o

BoozyBabe · 21-02-2006 11:14AM

I've been to all counties at least once, but I can't really remember being in Derry City (it's the only 1)

Femelade · 21-02-2006 11:17AM

never been to the north. or leitrim, longford, meath, w meath, rosscommon , louth and offaly.

i dont get out much.

Oriel · 21-02-2006 11:18AM

I can safely say I've been in all the counties. I spent 2 weeks every year in the back of my parents car, dragging a caravan on holidays. I didn't particularly enjoy it at the time, but I couldn't think of anything I'd rather do more today

seamus · 21-02-2006 11:21AM

I can safely say I've been in every county in the Republic, even if it was only driving through. I've only been in the lower NI counties, driving to Donegal.

ciaran76 · 21-02-2006 11:23AM

Galway and Clare are the only 2 I have not been too.

robinph · 21-02-2006 11:35AM

Does it count if the train didn't actually stop on the way through the county or not?

lodgepole · 21-02-2006 11:35AM

All of them in the Republic. Only been in the North once, driving from Dublin to Belfast.

I don't know, but I doubt it.

I mean, when you fly over a country & you can see it's fields, lakes, roads, mountains etc, & you're in it's airspace, you still haven't actually been in that country, have you?

I mean you can't say I visited X when you just flew over X to get to Y.

(I don't think!!)

connundrum · 21-02-2006 11:39AM

Longford, Roscommon, Sligo, Donegal, Monaghan or any of the 6 nordies.. in fairness if I'm not invited then I don't go

Edit - and Cavan.. don't know how I forgot that one :rolleyes:

Nightwish · 21-02-2006 11:41AM

I've never visited any of the counties in Connacht or Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal or the North counties with the exception of Antrim, when I drove to Belfast for the ferry.

cournioni · 21-02-2006 11:44AM

Derry, Donegal, Tyrone, Kilkenny, Carlow, Waterford, Wexford.

Shock-Treatment · 21-02-2006 12:05PM

I've been to them all. my parents bored the sh1t out of us as kids by dragging us around the country every fuppin sunday.I'd appreciate it alot more now, but it was crap as kids. where do they bring my kids? maccie d's.
I knew they were just trying to torture us.

Cosine · 21-02-2006 12:10PM

Almost all in the Republic but none in the North.

Offaly and Wicklow are the only two I know for sure I've never visited

biko · 21-02-2006 12:19PM

To drive to county Antrim you have to go via either county Down or county Derry. based on the other counties you've not visited you must have gone through Down. Congratulations, one less county not visited!:D

mise_me_fein_V2 · 21-02-2006 12:36PM

Never been to Sligo, Leitrim, Derry, - that's it.

Wouldn't mind seeing Derry, but couldn't care less about Sligo and Leitrim.

Tobias Greeshman · 21-02-2006 02:23PM

The NI counties, Monaghan, Leitrim.

A childhood of your parents dragging you around on holidays with a caravan, seems to get in a large number of counties.

Blisterman · 21-02-2006 02:55PM

In the Republic: Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo, Monaghan, Cavan, Longford, Roscommon.
In the North: Fermanagh, Tyrone, Derry and Antrim.

Yes, I'm from Dublin.

chubba1984 · 21-02-2006 03:02PM

I've been to all counties except Carlow, Fermanagh and Longford

Tobias Greeshman · 21-02-2006 03:03PM

Fermanagh's apparently NOT in the republic, who would of thought it.

Tar.Aldarion · 21-02-2006 03:11PM

Never been to:
Wexford
Louth
Kilkenny
Waterford
Kerry
Tipperary
Down

Eminem · 21-02-2006 03:15PM

I have been to Galway, Dublin, Meath , West Meath , Kerry, Clare, Tippeary,Wicklow and Kildare

ShiverinEskimo · 21-02-2006 03:19PM

I'm shocked at the amount of people who haven't been up past the border. Being from Dundalk fair enough its part of life to tip up to Newry for the cheap booze in sainsbury's.

Seriously though - get on up and see the place. Especially Belfast and the Giants causeway and Derry. Some great places. The nightlife in Belfast is super too. A worthy weekend away.

Oh and to keep on topic. Them all. Many times. Never been in Limerick city though. At I doubt thats going to change until someone gives me good reason to.

Silas you fool!!!
Go take a geography lesson.

As a native & inhabitant of Ulster, I can assure you Fermanagh's NOT in the Republic.

Hobbes · 21-02-2006 03:38PM

Been to all of them in the south. North only Belfast and Derry.

I can picture your wedding now Boozybabe. You, the bride, in a pair of oversized wellies, with green chords (waist 8 inches too big) with a thing brown belt holding them up. A navy wool jumper with holes in it, and a caipín.

The groom (your brother) standing holding onto the alter (alter = counter in supermacs) because his feet point at eachother and cant stand his weight, dressed in a grey wool suit, no shirt, just a vest, but it really brings out his eye. His smile is obvious, you can hear the whistle of air from his remaining teeth as he breaths heavily, spittle landing on you with each deep breath......

The bridesmaids moo and bleat in favour of the wedding, except one who is eating from the faeces pile, your aunt, but she never approved of this union. Everyone knew she wanted your brother for herself.

The priest annouces you husband and wife as he concecrates you with his weiner, shouting "GWAN BOYSSSSSSS"

The Afters go off without a hitch. The garlic and cheese chips for main course are a hit, the fighting starts early, and everyone has a great time.

Oh it will be a great day, ye big muck slinging culchie!

Kojak · 21-02-2006 03:46PM

Never been to any of the Ulster counties.

Also Wexford and Waterford.

BoozyBabe · 21-02-2006 03:55PM

Ouch!!!!

Did I hit a raw nerve with Joejoem??

What Counties have you never been to?
