Oh, I hate Cork people

You'd be amazed at the amount of people that say this. Are we really that bad like? Or is it just jealousy?

I'm not sure it was always as bad as it is now, but since the hurling stike, the Keane Saipan affair, and maybe the Stephen Ireland situation too it has gotten to a stage where everyone seems to hate us.

Are we really a bunch of langers?

Well, I don't know about the whole cultural capital thingy. And what's the craic with those People's Republic t-shirts? It's like they think they're equal or something

minidazzler · 03-05-2009 01:31AM

Éire 31, Fuck Dublin

We aren't actually hated, just misunderstood.

Cork people just seem to have a strange atitude - like a persecution complex - going on about the second capital and stuff. Maybe they have a good reason, I dunno.

I was at a theme park in Wales a few years ago and a bunch of people from Cok (very strong accents) were standing behind me in the queue for a rollercoster and were getting really nervous about how high it was. One of them said, sure it's grand I'll see you all in heaven if we die. There was a few seconds pause and then he added sure, cork is heaven so I'll see you back there for a few pints. He wasn't even really joking, I don't think. Everyone he was with nodded in agreement rather then laughing!

I thought it was pretty deluded. If heaven is like Cork then I'll be sorely disappointed!

You'll be disappointed? I reckon the Pope will convert to Taosim if Heaven is like Cork. I reckon the Archbishop of Canterbury will act on that lifelong urge and start worshipping Satan. If Heaven is like Cork, then in all fairness, Pontius Pilate had the right idea. Let's be honest.

So would I!!! Personally I don't like Cork all that much, I mean the City is nice and all, but the people are generally a little stupid. There are a few different types of Cork people really. Few of them are good. I am the exception, while I am an arsehole, I am not an arsehole who thinks Cork is the Pinnacle of Civilisation.

I'm a Dub who's been living in Cork for the past 3 years and in all honesty I think a gang of Cork scumbags are far less likely to kick the living piss out of you for looking in their direction than a gang of Dublin scumbags - just an observation.

Daysha · 03-05-2009 01:57AM

It's the accent that does it for me.

You just can't comprehend how utterly woeful it is to listen to.

xOxSinéadxOx · 03-05-2009 02:00AM

accent for me as well. it's really annoying. it's not the people, just the accent

Terry · 03-05-2009 02:03AM

Deep breaths.
Deep breaths.
Deep breaths.

Ahh **** it.
Bunch of arrogant, deluded bastards.
Get over yourselves..
Dublin is the capital and the only good thing to ever come out of Cork was a road leading out of it.

I'm sitting here in my nice litle Kildare home and laughing at the arrogance of both the Dubs and the Corkonians and you both look pathetic. The only difference is that Dubs are not deluded about where the capital is.

You want your PROC?
Take it.
One less county for the productive counties to support.

Best of luck building an economy based of the fact that the last place the titanic made port was queenstown. That's all you have to offer.
Now get back in your box and accept that you are just one of 26.

By the way, Rathcormack should be nuked.

ninebeanrows · 03-05-2009 02:06AM

dont get me started on Cork people! bejebus............

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

03-05-2009 02:10AM

I absolutely hate Cork. Maybe it's because I'm from Kerry and go to college in Cork (but not really because I don't give a **** about GAA and the like). I don't know what it is about it.

Pete P Peterson · 03-05-2009 02:11AM

Did the thread title really need an "Oh" at the beginning?
Did Terry really need to say "Deep Breaths" three times, when the pluralisation itself implied he took more than one deep breath?

I blame Cork people, I really do. Go Leinster.

Kids, kids, all of your cherished counties are desolate stinking mirrors of Hell's colon.

Wrong.
Kildare gets a colonoscopy every 4 months.
We're fine.

Really didn't want to do this, but here it goes..

Sonia O Sullivan, Roy Keane (greatest and most sucessful Irish soccer player), Christy Ring (greatest hurler), Jack Lynch(greatest politician and dual player), Michael Collins(greatest patriot), most senior all-irelands titles etc etc etc.

No arrogance there, just proving your claim is a load of crap..

A Colonoscopy is just having your colon looked at with a camera, I assume you mean Kildare gets Colonic Irrigation done?

Sarky · 03-05-2009 02:24AM

Perhaps if Kildare watched what it ate (all those Dublin commuters just aren't healthy you know) and got off its fat ass every now and then it wouldn't need a camera up the jacksie so frequently.

Terry, Colonoscopy aside, Kildare is Irelands number 1 cure for insomnia. Seriously, I've been there; people, if you ever find your life is too jam-packed with fun things to do, go to Kildare.

The only reason his claim would be a load of crap would be because the road isn't actually that good. It's a pile of shíte.

Funnily enough, they call the Colonoscopy ward in Atlanta General Hospital "The house that Sonia built". Wonder why.

There's nowhere to go that's worth a decent road.

Our industries support that failure of a county you call Cork.
Viva la PROC (probably pronounced prock).
All you have is a town with some walls and a castle. Half of the country has the same thing. The rest of us are just not deluded enough to think it makes us special.

Sarky · 03-05-2009 02:35AM

You misunderstand, Terry. I'm not defending Cork. Everywhere is rubbish.
