    If I thought MTV was cool I'd procure the closest shotgun and blow my brains out while jumping off the highest bridge over the deepest river I could find.

    No, not if you're referring to your girlfriend.

    Using the word cool to describe something as being great.

    What year is it? :confused:

    MTV is coming to cork in a few months it seems. MTV claimed they had no interest in going to the Capital unless they were looking for heroin or a skanger accent ( Unconfirmed reports of this statement)

    Link: http://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/entertainment/two-megastars-promised-as-mtv-comes-to-cork-643094.html

    Will the superstars be crystal swing..or maybe jedward..
    So there is no Heroin problem in Cark? I never thought I would hear myself say this but I would take a flat Dublin accent day over the Cark accent any day

    I wonder if there will be many subtitles if talking to locals, or will they just omit interviews with thick accents.


    The "music" is gone from the main MTV channel, should be Mindless TV. Literally not a single music program on today

    Galway is too cool for MTV.


    Cork and Dublin are welcome to that shíte.

    Galway isn't cool, neither is MTV. The two would suit each other very well!

    I find the Cork accent mentally distressing to listen to. I can't watch the Sunday Game because Donal Cusack is on it with that accent. And I'm strongly considering leaving Electric Ireland after ringing their call centre and dealing with someone with a Cork accent so high-pitched it almost ruptured my eardrum.

    Weirdly heroin wasn't much of a problem in cork while it was ravaging Dublin and other parts of the country, but it's seen a big increase there now.

    Downol Oogues accent is alright as cork accents go

    As a Dubliner who lived in Cork city for a couple of years, I'd agree.

    One thing that struck me though on the streets of Cork, were the number of down and outs who are 'fond of the drink'. Seemed to be very many of them (relating to the population).

    Don't really recall seeing many junkies like you'd see in Dublin, but lots of older men with drink problems.

    That event goes to Plymouth and Derry before Cork.

    This puts Dublin in the category of non-MTV-crash-event cities like Rio, London and Tokyo.

    Ah hahaha hahaha ahahaha ahaha ahahaaa:D

    MTV crashes also did events in Manchester and Glasgow which are both more than twice the size of Dublin.

    Let's stick to facts and give the bullshit a rest.
