After the battle of Aughrim the Williamites stripped the bodies of the dead Irish and stole whatever they had. A traveller who passed by the gore observed how pale the bodies were, almost pure white. That is what we are. You see it after matches in the GAA when the jerseys are swapped. Very few tans.
And Darren Kennedy ? the RTE fashion guru , was interviewed a while ago and asked what one makeup recommendation he would make to Irish women. and he said drop the fake tan, leverage your beautiful pale skin. I thought it was so sad to consider all of the Irish women who are brainwashed to pour on the slap . The purest of shite, at least 40 percent proof.
I was on aer lingus this morning and one of the air hostesses had the fake tan on and I took a photo but she was giving out to me

Look natural??? Remind me again about plastic surgery clinics in the US? The Irish seem to have a particular fascination with fake tan, especially when going out to a function, and I do think it's ballix, but the US women love their makeup as well, just not fake orange tan, and especially their plastic surgery far more.

Please note my no 3
I wouldn't have written it, if it had not been something I was well aware of.
When studying at a southern university we carried out a very simple test that was regarding memory and speed, one part was naming the 32 counties, through this I became aware of the number of people who did not know their counties and did indeed answer Killarney and Belfast ...
Naming random stuff in a speed test trying to beat a time under pressure is not the same thing. Witness people who say stupid stuff on radio quizes etc. The Capital of France is not 'F', for instance :)
I'm sure if you asked 100 people if Killarney was a county, you'd get at least 99% saying no.
And apologies if you think my posts are shite. I guess that's just hard shite for you :)
But they would think Belfast was ?
Quote from: leenie on January 08, 2016, 02:11:33 PM

I wouldn't think so, although the administrative Belfast/Antrim thing is a bit more confusing for some 'Southerners'. I'd say you'd still be well into the 90's that would say no though.
Well I am aware of 'southerners' who do..
I got asked once by a woman from Dublin if Laois was near Portlaoise.
I do think though there are many Dublin people who haven't a clue where anywhere is outside of Dublin.
A teacher friend of ours from Dublin asked me if Clonmel was anywhere near Naas when I had been telling her I had to drive down to Clonmel to do some work.

I'm willing to bet there are more people in the 6 counties who don't know their counties than in the 26. Sure half the population up there couldn't give a f*ck if Killarney is a county or not :)
As regards southerners, I'm sure there are some, but the way you wrote it, I inferred it was a relatively common thing.

As a % of their respective population possible but not more people, the unionists in the occupied 6 wouldn't know or care especially the working class unionist but I bet the nationalist community in the occupied 6 would be close to 100%.
Well, if you take all the unionists, that's a good few hundred thousand. I'd be shocked if your average adult down here had issues like that.
But of course there will be some muppets. They are everywhere :)
P.S. For the purposes of this discussion I exclude everyone inside the M50 Ring :)

I got asked once by a woman from Dublin if Laois was near Portlaoise.
I actually got asked something similar last week (is Portlaoise in Laois) albeit by a Cavan woman. Why are women so shite at geography?

I'm willing to bet that is pure shite...and that you're talking shite, prob complete opposite.
You think less people in the north would struggle to name the 32 counties?

But they would think Belfast was ?
I wouldn't think so, although the administrative Belfast/Antrim thing is a bit more confusing for some 'Southerners'. I'd say you'd still be well into the 90's that would say no though.
Belfast was a "county borough" until 1973. The term is still used in ceremonial titles.
County boroughs in the South weren't officially abolished until 2001.

Will someone please think of the counties.

Don't think that's true. Almost universal agreement that it's a mediocre league in terms of quality. However, an interesting season.

You're spot on. In fact a lot of the hand wringing on British media over the past few years is how are the English teams going to compete again at the top level in Europe.
Of course it's hyped, but it is interesting.

It was 2001 Owen won it.
Ronaldo was still at united when he won it in 2008 too.
Owen won the Balloon d'Or as "European Footballer of the Year" when it was awarded by France Football magazine and separate from the FIFA World Player of the Year, which Luis Figo won that year.

They have been amalgamated into the one award since, im not sure when that happened.

The combined FIFA Ballon d'Or has been presented since 2010. The female one is still strangely called the FIFA World Player of the Year Award.

Jumping on to the end of this thread about pure shite, and I see FIFA Ballon d'Or being discussed. Seems like either end of the spectrum.
