Are you ashamed of where you come from?

here.from.day.1 · 14-11-2008 11:45AM

Well I used to live near Navan.. I think the fact that I got as far away from that place as soon as possible answers the question with a resounding yes.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 14-11-2008 11:47AM

I lie and tell people I'm English.

Irishcrx · 14-11-2008 12:06PM

I grew up in Coolock and still live there and i'm 100 percent proud of it, anybody who has an opinion or a snigger because of it...well **** them.

HarryD · 14-11-2008 12:08PM

I grew up in Carlow town and am 100% ashamed of it..
The smallest minds in Ireland.
Would never go back.. uughhh

super_furry · 14-11-2008 12:10PM

Not at all. Born and raised in Tallaght and it's a great place.

thelordofcheese · 14-11-2008 01:01PM

Well i'm from sligo, so our default stance is shame.
On occasion that changes, not so much to pride as to 'less shame'

Northside and proud.

Be who you are...never be intimidated by anyone.

Know a girl from Donaghmede though and she speaks with an exaggerated fake D4 accent.

Its embarassing, I pity her.

I think a lot of people do this (speak with the fake D4 accent) -the pathetic thing is this accent never actually existed until the last 20 years.

Its a total manufactured creation and it actually makes me cringe to hear it. Ive been known to openly burst out laughing when I hear some D4 wannabe squealing "ouuuhhh moooooiii GODGE LOIKE i WAS TODALLLY....."
or whatever.

And since when did Cork become CWOOOORK, there is no fukkin W in Cork.

FAKE !!!

I grew up in Cork, so yes I am very much ashamed of that. It is a horrible horrible place

ejmaztec · 14-11-2008 02:48PM

It always means a good read when the first line of your autobiography tells the world that you were born and brought up in a sh1thouse. If you're still living in the same sh1thouse, it's probably best to keep quiet about it.

I know that song. Isnt it "Get the **** out of here you*****ing ***** ***** of a ********* and ******* the ***** off ******* with a melon"

Are you ashamed of where you come from?
