Ok, again AH heads, there's the "How well do you know European Countries Quiz"

But now, how well do you know your own counties! Here's the link to the best one I could find (that didn't need a million clicks to get by the first page!)

http://www.ireland101.com/quiz/county/

For the ones I got wrong, I was always only one bloody county over! It seems like the midlands and the South-East I got wrong

W.Shakes-Beer · 22-03-2011 11:40pm

Whats a "Leitrim"?

admiralofthefleet · 22-03-2011 11:40pm

what is that leitrim in the quiz? is it a real place?

Chaotic_Forces · 22-03-2011 11:40pm

mikemac · 22-03-2011 11:42pm

19/20

Damn Laois, who cares about them. Useless footballers and even worse hurlers.

I notice they including the boundary for Tipp North and Tipp South. Tipperary, twice the county of anywhere else :cool:

vicwatson · 22-03-2011 11:42pm

Bloody 18 out of 20 - missed Tyrone and Antrim !! It didn't ask the full 32 though.

How may Tipperarys are there ?

The greedy feckers.

brummytom · 23-03-2011 12:10am

I refuse to believe that Offaly and Laois are real places

mikemac · 23-03-2011 12:10am

Tipperary North Riding and Tipperary South Riding

Tipp girls are very easy

Lots of riding going on there

Chaotic_Forces · 23-03-2011 12:11am

I thought it was just "Dublin" and Boggerland?

dlofnep · 23-03-2011 12:13am

20 out of 20, but I have an uncanny ability to be able to draw the actual map of Ireland. I learned it in school and haven't forgotten it, along with the rhyme for all the counties of each province.

It's just "Inner City" and "posh feckers" in Dublin.

redz11 · 23-03-2011 12:27am

Did anyone else spend ages trying to click on a county up the north before realising it was in fact a lake?

I didn't even get the county I'm currently living in right! That's pretty bad ...

What's the county rhyme?

Ghandee · 23-03-2011 12:58am

Grrr.....

Stupid quiz keeps insisting that some fictional County called 'Derry' is in exactly the same place as County Londonderry.

Sakes, sure how can ya argue with a dam Quiz?:mad:

Pompey Magnus · 23-03-2011 1:00am

Is it possible to put into words how you draw the map?

23-03-2011 1:11am

19/20. Got Tyrone wrong.

wurzlitzer · 23-03-2011 1:14am

why is it not 32 counties or even 26 for that matter?

Or what counties belong to Ulster
and what belong to NI
etc

We are Munster’s counties fair.
Cork, Kerry, Limerick Clare,
Waterford, Tipperary here we are,
Welcoming you from near and far.

Leinster is beyond compare,
Dublin, Wicklow, Carlow, Kildare,
Wexford, Offaly, Laois, Kilkenny, Longford and Louth are as good as any.
Meath, Westmeath and that is all. over now to province small.

Connaught is the smallest oh,
Galway, Leitrim and Mayo,
Roscommon, Sligo that’s the lot,
Just one more verse for you I’ve got.

We are Ulster’s counties nine,
Let’s forget the dividing line,
Donegal, Derry, Antrim, Down, all our counties of renown.
Armagh, Monaghan and Tyrone, Cavan, Fermanagh now all are known.

No it's not, but it's easy to remember where the counties are for each province with the rhyme.

RussellTuring · 23-03-2011 1:26am

Who cares? If it's not Dublin, I don't see the need to know where it is.

I got 10/20.

HoneyRyder · 23-03-2011 1:27am
