Tyrone, you're on your own.

and what county are u meant to be from? I thought that was a good balanced view. I've never once seen any of these orchards that wer meant to be famous for, and I hate apples as well

I agree and where to f**k are these bushes that we are supposed to be amongst?

Out of all the counties that used bring hordes of women to McGowans on summer evenings between 93 and 05, the Tyrone ones were the easiest, guaranteed ride every time, it was almost like they were representing the club such was their eagerness to please, god bless each and everyone of them.

It was probably your cool ballina drawl accent that got them excited.

Probably

I have to say that, living in Limerick for seven years now, I have mostly had anything but good reactions whenever I have mentioned that I'm from Tyrone.  The initial reaction of a lot of people is to say," I was up in Donegal once", or "is that near Donegal", which does amuse me.  But Tyrone football has put us on the map.  They love the accent (some even trying to mimic it in front of me,badly (with a Belfast twang),  which I can't understand).
In general, those who have brought up the "rough Northerners" have been of a lesser intellectual calibre, possibly influenced by selective sporting punditry and misrepresentation of the North by media during the troubles, or just havin a bit of craic.
Interesting that many thought that Stevie O'Neill was a hard man during his prime-was it the shaved head?
In general, there are things I like and dislike about nearly every county in Ireland.  I suppose historically, Tyrone has always been a contraversial and unpredictable county, leaving it open to opinion.

Where is Longford?

And they call some of us Mexicans partitionist!

Longford is west of Russia. Turn left at the first traffic light after Murphy's pub. You'll see a dog. Stop and ask the dog.

[Dougal Maguire]

An Ulster ventriloquist visiting Longford, walks into a small village and sees a local sitting on his porch patting his dog. He figures he'll have a little fun.
Ventriloquist: " Are you all right there pal. Good looking dog, mind if I speak to him?"
Villager: "The dog doesn't talk, you stupid Nordie."
Ventriloquist: "Hello dog, how's it going pal?"
Dog: "Doin' all right"
Villager: (look of extreme shock)
Ventriloquist: "Is this villager your owner?" (pointing at the villager)
Dog: "Yep"
Ventriloquist: "How does he treat you?"
Dog: "Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and takes me to the lake once a week to play."
Villager: (look of utter disbelief)
Ventriloquist: "Mind if I talk to your horse?"
Villager: "Uh, the horse doesn't talk either....I think."
Ventriloquist: "Hey horse, how's it going?"
Horse: "Cool"
Villager: (absolutely dumbfounded)
Ventriloquist: "Is this your owner?" (pointing at the villager)
Horse: "Yep"
Ventriloquist: "How does he treat you?"
Horse: "Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, brushes me down often and keeps me in the barn to protect me from the elements."
Villager: (total look of amazement)
Ventriloquist: "Mind if I talk to your sheep?"
Villager: " You don't want to be talking to her, she's a terrible liar."
