How come people from the northern side of the country seem much nicer?

teaandtoast · 04-06-2011 03:36PM #1

All my experiences with northern Irish people and people from donegal have been good. I find them to be easy going, honest, open minded, sincere and have a brillant sense of humour.

I am up there well kinda of, sligo, not that I am any nicer than anyone myself. I live in Dublin though I didn't realise the difference til I am moved down to Dublin 6 years ago.

People down the country are nice too but in my experiences people from the northern side of the country are different, they seem really nice. Like you could have a conversation with them like they seem to have fire in them or something, maybe I miss that. What do you think?

Does that make Cork the least nice county?

Sounds about right. :pac:

Never speak ill of the "real irish" OP.

Turtyturd · 04-06-2011 03:44PM

squod · 04-06-2011 03:45PM

You're obviously not including NI in this. Generally found them to be a bit disagreeable!

Tubsandtiles · 04-06-2011 03:47PM

Because they're British..wait now that doesn't make much sense, waits for fight to break out...

Actually I'd second the OP with regard to Donegal peeps in my experience. Rarely met a bad un.

steddyeddy · 04-06-2011 03:56PM

I used to have a big issue with clannish people (probraly more my own issues but however) and I always heard that I wouldnt like donegal people based on that however I havent met a bad person from up there really lovely salt of the earth people!

Well i am talking about the Island of Ireland. Anyways Dublin was the pale in the late middle ages where the english controlled the whole country from so i wouldn't call Dublin real Irish with the exception of the rest of the country.

You have to watch Mad Max one & two before you can get a provisional license there. Might seem calm 'till you put them in front of a steering wheel.

We were only talking about it the other day, The people are less conservative in rural areas in the north of the island.

yea, my experiences of them were always good. I don't know why people think people from the country have culchie accents, the donegal accents are probably the nicest accents in the country. well spoken and sophisticated. The galway accents are very nice too.

Are you being ironic?

Donegal people are definitely nicer than average but I find that the rest of the nordies contain a far higher proportion of aggro fuckers than other parts of the island.

Generalizing is fun. Let me have a go!

Why do people from Sligo who live in Dublin always generalize how much nicer the people up north are?

I'm glad I got that off my chest *phew*.

Well , Donegal is part of the Republic if you didn't know and the rules of the road apply up there like they do in the rest of the country.

Im not generalising. I said the word Seem it's not a fact. I am talking about my own experiences. Many of my friends said the same things talking about their own experiences.

They can call themselves what they like, but if they go over to England, they are still considered as Paddy the Navvie...

There are way too many fcukin' trolls on this site. That's all I have to say on the matter.

How come people from the northern side of the country seem much nicer?
