Those lads are mad craic, but they’re also the reason I avoid going anywhere near grand parade when it’s chucking out time.
The ultimate symbol of a damp backwater.
“Backwater”? And in which ohso-culturally-relevant cosmopolitan mega-city do you live? Please don’t say Dublin or I’ll laugh out my vag.
Dublin’s up there with a lot of european cities whether you like it or not. This is coming from someone who lives in another major city on the continent,
it like to think it is, it tries very hard, has the swagger/arrogance, and a captive insular media constantly echoing the ‘centre-of the-universe’ attitude… but for me there’s not much substance – a peripheral (in both its european and anglo-american cultural worlds) backwater with sometimes great and sometimes awful things about it, at least Cork knows what it is.
Laugh out your vag? Have you ever considered joining a circus?
Fully concur Jake…Cork city is indeed one ugly hole of a place.
Have even heard Cork people agree!
We all know it…they deludedly & pitifully think they’re The Capital-Bless!
Dublin is magnificent-end of.
In his defence, Corcaigh does mean marsh.
Almost anytime something from Cork is posted on Broadsheet, regardless of what it’s about, there are multiple comments decrying the place, loudly pronouncing it a poohole and castigating Corkonians for their supposed arrogance and superiority. As someone who moved to Cork last year after 6 years in Dublin I think the ‘Cork superiority complex’ isn’t nearly as prevalent as people make it it out to be, and in retrospect, the attitude people in Dublin have towards everywhere else in the country speaks of their own superiority complex.
What I do think Cork people have is pride in their city, as do Dubliners in theirs. Why one would need to bash the other to make their point is beyond me.
The Pale Fountains…now there was a band.
It’d be a forlorn lonely item only for the late night chipper across the street.
that’s not a chipper , it’s an institution
