    Nope, didn't gain anything or earn a lot of money there. I call Limerick a dump because you can't walk down a street without having knackers scowling at you, supposedly homeless people beggin for a 'spare eura' from you for their fags, or seeing travellers calling into any shop they pass to steal. There are some decent people in Limerick, but they're the people that agree it's a scum hole.

    Potentially it could be a good place to be, but you'd have to nuke the knackers and put in an awful lot of work to making it look nice, and bringing in actual facilities.



    I disagree. In my opinion, like I said, Limerick is a dump.

    WOW where in limerick did you live if you dont mind me asking cos im from england and moved here in 2000, and the only beggers ive seen are in cruises street, only certain travellers steal from shop i work in cpw and all the travellers that come in BUY their phones as for knackers scowling at you...... if you dont look at them you wont notice them scowling. im sure the palace you live in at the moment is perfect but i really wouldnt like to live in your self absorbed little world.

    opinions like yours should stay yours.

    Given some of the pathetic slurs, I'd tend to agree.

    Mind you, it was a thread about a great initiative in Limerick to run a toy show that will benefit kids, so maybe we shouldn't let said retards hijack it.

    I don't hate any country, I don't support any football or rugby team, I am never proud of any county or city whatever connection I do or don't have with it, and I'm a woman.

    I'm from Tipperary and not once have I gloated about them winning that cup thing.

    Why wouldn't you assume because I don't like Limerick that I'm a hypocrite? I don't see the connection. I don't go blathering on everywhere about how much I hate Limerick, or anything really. Someone assumed I was from Limerick and proud of it, and I corrected them. That's it really. You're the one making a big deal out of how I feel about it.

    Give up already.

    I'm actually from Limerick and to tell you the truth I find it quite pathetic to see the keyboard warriors here degrading someones locality. Then again with the crap I've seen in the cesspit that is after hours, nothing surprises me...

    BTW the number of posts I have made constitutes what exactly?

    Your right noting but the post you quoted calling posters on this thread thin skined and your contribution looked like you were agreeing with that and the word "retards" didn't sit well with me.If i picked you up wrong i apologise.

    Apologies Liam. That previous post was aimed at the hijackers rather than those who actually were contributing. However the thin-skinned poster before you obviously gave you the wrong impression I was targeting the wrong people...

    It's AH, nature of the beast!

    Donegal gets it share of stereotypes too, often from people in counties that should know better!

    Hey! Cruiser, there cool Pictures, i seen a big thing on the paper that the whole Munster team, are behind this great toy show this is really great to see and by the looks of it. its all true, is it true Gay byrne, is coming out of retirement for the limerick toy show was told that tonight.:cool:

    I'm looking forward to the Limerick Toy Show and I hope I'm not disappointed. The Late Late Toy show is a rushed affair, packing in as many toys as possible with out giving the kids a chance to properly review them. If a toy is crap or a bit of a let down then the kids should be allowed to say so. Turbirdy wasn't so bad, but Kenny used to annoy me the way he would try and stop the kids from slating the toys when they weren't impressed with them. I hope the Limerick Toy Show is different and will give more time to the kids views. Afterall we're in a resession and I for one would like to know if Santa is bringing value for money.

    Ps. Can the people that are only interested in slaggin off my City please go away and find a thread where they can all bask in their own smug malcontentedness. This is something positive coming out of Limerick and its all in aid of worthy charities and services, both local and national. Im sure there's a 'I love to hate Limerick' or 'Stab City Scandal' thread where you can go and wallow. Its not so much that I'm thin skinned as its wearing thin at this stage.

    Pps. looking forward to the toy show.

    Excellent, no posh Billy Barry kids then, just Antneys and Jacintas.

    I would hope that the Limerick Toy Show would include kids from all over the City and that there's no discrimination. Someone's accent can tell you where they're from, but not who they are or what they're like. Likewise with their address. Some people make snap judgements about others based on nothing more than their own small mindedness and limited knowledge. From my experience, children don't discriminate unless they've been taught to by their parents. I hope the Limerick Toy Show brings kids from all over the City together in friendship and fun - many accents, one voice!

    I never mentioned anything about being against positive things or people, or in fact, anything to do with this toy show. Take the time to look back over my posts so you can see what I actually said. I couldn't care less what people want to do or not do, if they want to put on some show, let them go ahead. I'm really indifferent to it all.

    I took the time to look back over your posts. "Limerick is a dump" and "nuke all the knackers" jumped out at me, but you're right you never mentioned the Limerick Toy Show, which is odd, as this is a thread dedicated to the show. I'm sorry that you spent "7 miserable years" in my City. Though, judging from your posts on this thread, I suspect that you'd be miserable wherever you lived. Happiness is not a place, it's a state of mind and you are who you are, no matter where you go. If you're so "indifferent to it all" then why all the posts? You're even checking people for their spelling! I think you might need to get out a bit more, why not cheer yourself up and get a ticket for the Limerick Toy Show. Santa will be there, you could ask him for something nice.

    If you're going to try quote what I said, get it right. I didn't say it was 7 miserable years in 'your' city :rolleyes: I said I've lived there for 7 years, so I can comment on it based on my experiences. And that's what I've done, so you can't try make out like I'm wrong.

    And if you did really look over my posts you'll see the reason for all my posts is because of people like you picking on what I've said, which is that I don't like the scumbaggish atmosphere of Limerick city. That is my opinion, and I'm not going to change it because you happen to think differently. I actually originally posted here to say the 'stab city' tag is boring, and have only continued because you want to try convince me I'm wrong.

    So just let it go, you're not right because you think you're right. You're not getting anywhere, you're just dragging the whole thread into a discussion about how shit limerick is (or isn't).

    The reason posters picked on what you said is because in two separate posts you referred to limerick as been a dump,a scumbag atmosphire and travellers thieves amongst other rubbish did you think posters would agree with you?
    Limerick is a beautiful city(have a look at post # 30)and this toy show is going to be another jewel in limericks crown.
