Fermanagh
Roscommon
Offaly
Galway
Sligo

Each has a first letter that no other county in the country begins with and combining all of these letters spells FROGS!

Do we really want to have another argument on this?

Galway - happy go lucky folk, very friendly but harmless, you couldn't take them serious

Kerry - nice people, but very cute and often very strange

Derry - very streetwise and educated, with greater appreciation of the simple things in life that we further down south take for granted.

Laois - fine lookin women

Armagh - extremists, be they RA-heads or Loyalists. The county seems a bit mad, not much fun.

Never known any Mayo man to be bitter in defeat and I've sat beside a few of them for finals they've lost. They lose finals so regularly that there's no way they could be bitter, they're used to it!

I wasn't being political, the question was phrased in a peculiar fashion.

Anyway if I wanted to be pedantic I'd have pointed out that Fermanagh doesn't count since Fingal is an administrative county.

I think I have that attitude as a girl I know from mayo is very bitter about their losses. So much so that another Kerry friend wasn't allowed to celebrate after they hammered Mayo in 2006. Plus James Horan's comments after they lost the 2012 final weren't exactly gracious.
