Kerry is an unadulterated kip!

Nesta99

Just to balance things up with the Dublin thread of a similar nature and to keep some posters happy!

Never been to Kerry but by the logic given in the other thread it must be....

Why is everything unadulterated lately?

Because some of us have respect for relationships!

People live pretty much the same as everywhere else except there is no public transport and they don't smell their neighbours farts next door either:pac:

Kerry overall is lovely. Tralee is an unadulterated kip

Only Cork folk could answer that with honesty and no bias at all!

Ok,Dublin is a kip and Kerry is almost as pretty as West Cork,never been to Donegal but heard it is beautiful ,(I have no comment to make about Roscommon folk and their extreme love for sheep).

Kerry is like Donegal, except they have more tourists and they aren't as sexily aloof as us.

I'll second this, except to point out that in Donegal the local dialect sounds like Japanese, whereas in Kerry it sounds more like Russian.

Don't feel sorry for us, we're no more aware of our deprivation and suffering than any other dumb animal. It would be a truly unbearable cruelty if we were to crawl back into our mud hovels after sixteen hours solid of whacking at the ground with an oddly-shaped stick sort of thing only to be presented with the likes of Brian Ormond lording it over us with his Hair on the moving-pitchers-box.

I have never been to Kerry. This thread is inspiring me to go visit. Cheers OP!

Kerry was good enough for Star Wars.

Stars Wars is why Kerry lost the All Ireland this year.
Lots of Kerry players got parts on the film , just look at the head on the Gooch character , perfect alien head.

This thread seems to have backfired .. because everyone is saying how nice it is.

Kerry is beautiful.

From Dublin myself. Kerry is a brilliant county. Dingle peninsula is spectacular. I have been to every county on the island. Kerry by far my favourite.

The nice parts are, but some parts are awful kips. Beautiful Kerry is mostly south and west Kerry. North and east are extremely bleak in places (I'm of north and east Kerry stock btw - this is how I know!)

It's been a while but I remember an impressive mountain backdrop to Tralee last time I was there.

I've never been to Kerry- I think I've been in every other county in Ireland. Not pushed either.

Ah Kerry's not so bad

Not quite up to the standards or culture of Dublin but not so bad either.......

Jonah Lomu was here during the rugby world cup, came to show his kids their Kerry roots, we can't be all that bad now can we.

Kerry is beautiful. I moved from Co Cork to live here. But Kerry-people are weird ..... cute hooors, but weird!! For example, 90% of them call the C&W singer "Gareth" Brooks and "shure-arrah" is an acceptable answer to almost any question / statement, and "wee-wee" actually means "woa" (ie 'stop')

Also on the subject of weird words, I had this conversation early in my stay in the Kingdom
FRIEND "I had to carry my mother to hospital the other day"
ME "Why not use the car ?"
FRIEND "Shure-arrah, I carried her in the car!"
ME "Who was driving?"
FRIEND "I was!"
ME "was she not in your way?...."

took a while to figure out that 'carry' in Kerry means 'bring'

A lot of the direct-to-english translation of the irish language going on in Kerry. I would only be one generation removed from fluent Irish speakers and I notice a lot of my fathers ways of expressing himself were almost direct translations from Irish from his parents.

of all the counties that to pick, the OP picked the most beautiful country in the country.

had you said Louth, Leitrim, Roscommon and those type of kips there would be support for it, but not Kerry.

I love Kerry and mostly find Kerry people very sociable, I like the multiculturalism of Kerry huge amount of German Dutch English Americans living there, the sense for a lot of Kerry people that New York is the next parish and Dublin is very far away.( it is a great antidote to the... everything is about Dublin ) The things I don't like are that cute hoorism is seen as a badge of honour, the jaunting carts around Killarney are like a cross between a Moroccan market and the wild west, the often gouging of tourists.

Tourism is fantastic in Kerry. My souvenir collection sports no less than three of Brian Boru's skulls, one from shortly before he died, another from when he was about 24, and one from an' he a youngfella. :cool:
