The worst place in Ireland......

goldenmaverick

My name is Michael Cody, im from Dublin, ive just spent a few years in derry it has to be the worst place in ireland because:
1. The people have the most annoying whinging accent ive ever heard.
2. The place is looks like its falling down.
3 There are no decent single women in the place, they are all pregnant by the age of 18 and drawing dole.
3. The place is extremely zenophobic and narrow minded.
4. There are no decent bar/clubs.
5. The place has to be the most divided and sectarian city in Ireland.
6. The place is full of scumbags.

I could go on and on, but I did meet some good people there, mostly from ther loyalist/ protestant side of the city. Before I went up there I like many from the south rhought that I united Ireland was a good idea now im completely against it, im now of the opinion as kevin myers wrote in the irish Times that a team of JCBS should work 24 hours around the clock and dig a trench aroud the North and let the North float into the atlantic sea!
I think that Derry people in general lack confidence about their city and have chip on their shoulder about where they are from.
Anyway rant over anybody got any other similar experiences?

Had this debate a while back on another forum (yes, there are others!) Granard ran out the clear winner.

I haven't made any jibes at Collins or Dev. Read the thread again, without personal hate filling your eyes. People have called Dev a "spineless fcuker" and Collins a "sell-out", but I simply proposed some others.

You on the other hand, conceitedly said you achieved more before breakfast than Roche or Kelly did in their lives.

Not when there's more americans living in New York.

The difference is the people from Derry are Irish, I think they can decide as a majoritive what they want from their city. it's a democracy, something that was taken from us by force.

Derry is apart of Ireland, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a pawn to the imperialist world.

derry is on the island of ireland but it is not part of the republic of ireland so therefore the debate is over. They have a different government up there, a different flag, a different currency etc so it might as well be Manchester we are talking about.

Listen i like Derry as much as the next person, my aunt (a catholic) lives across from a very rough protestant estate near Altnagelvin. She and her husband are the only catholics in the area and she has seen riots and car burnings on the road near her house. But until Derry or Armagh or Tyrone or Fermanagh or Down or Antrim officially become part of the Republic and are governed by boyz and girlies there in Leinster House, you will just have to accept that Derry and rest are part of the UK

I served 26 years in this (Free) state's defence forces, so I am, by definition, a free stater.

The "Free State" is 26 counties, of which Derry is not one. So Derry is not in Ireland.

You still haven't said what France has to do with anything.

ALL of Northern Ireland - isn't that a bit of generalisation? I've been in Derry, Tyrone, Down and Antrim. I found that - like most places - there were some nice parts, some not-so-nice parts.

Nailz

Northern Ireland, I went on a weekend there a few weeks ago. I thought it was an awful shíthole altogether, the nicest places we're still falling apart. And I felt like kicking the shít out of every single person in the towns were they hang out the UJ's, Scottys and Norn Iron flags! And they have St.Patricks grave in a protestant grave-yard! No offence but he was catholic, and that extreamly pissed me off!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:

Yeah Dunmanway's a dump. I find that side of West Cork (Crookstown, Newcestown, Crossbarry, Enniskeane etc) really depressing.
But I've a good few friends from round there and they tell me Gatsbys was good - scary but good!

Mullingar
The town has grown so much but nothing at all to do in the town. All the shops are closing down and you have to go to Athlone or Tullamore to go shopping for clothes, electrical items etc. To get a decent job you must commute. Nothing to do at the weekends only drink. The town has gotten so rough at night aswell.

Is anywhere worse than Dalkey?

People are either rough arse council house dwellers who think, because they live in Dalkey, they are posh. Or posh people who know they are posh and treat everyone like dirt.

Nice chipper though:rolleyes:

Isn't it great, a discussion about the worst town in (the island of)Ireland turns into an argument about Norm Iron! :rolleyes:

Page 3, over 40 posts and nobody has said Limerick yet.

I'm not saying it's the worst by any means (in fact it's one of the best) but still, it usually gets picked on

Derry is in Ireland, it is not in the Republic of Ireland but it is in Ireland. There is no political entity known as Ireland. Ireland is the island, not just the 26 counties. Hell not too long ago I heard Ian Paisley admit that he was Irish.

The worst place in Ireland is Portarlington, depressing place.
