    Cork City is unremarkable. Cork County is remarkable.

    FFS another Cork thread.
    We're great and well take all your women with our whimsical accents, get over it djaknowwhatimeanlike?



    But seriously, yes, we're great, city center turning into a kip and ghost town airport aside obviously.

    I'm not from Cork but lived there for 2 years when I was a student. Great place, lovely people.

    One day I ran out of petrol in a "rough" part of town. I stopped outside someone's gate. A woman arrived out, I expected dogs abuse but she inquired about my plight. she then told me to wait a second. She arrived back with a can full of petrol, her husband used for the lawnmower. She called a neighbour around to use his car to jump start mine, the battery died trying to restart.

    I have a lot more stories about the soundness of Cork people. Loved it there. Good times.

    Love Cork! Had the best summer of my life there two years ago, many, many fond memories that will always stay with me.

    Even some of the good stuff has screw tops these days. Corks are over-rated.

    I wonder did they name that place down south "Cork" cos it's jammed up the ar5ehole of ireland?

    Sure, what's not to love about the real Capital [of Culture ;)]?

    What is it with Cork people and threads looking for reassurance?

    Reminds me of my neighbour's dog which has separation anxiety, it whimpers away
    scratching their door looking for attention and comfort.

    To be honest, I don't even know why we love Cork. Must be instinct or something.

    Only been there once, and someone threw an egg at me from a car. I think I would like Cork if it wasn't for the people who occupy the place.

    Government resting upon the will and universal suffrage of the people has no anchorage except in the people's intelligence.

    It's a bit of a subjective question - a bit like asking do you like cheese? Cheddar yes Charleville meh.

    But seriously Cork has some lovely places - West Cork particularly - Fermoy unsettles me though -

    I live and work in Cork City. And my boyfriend is also from Cork. It's ok. Nice city I guess!

    I'm from Kerry myself (Killarney) and do miss the place a lot. Even though it's not too far away! Miss the national park/places to go walking the most...was quite spoilt growing up there.

    I am off to start an I love Dundrum thread.
