As the D'unbelievables told us "Sure it'd be a great little country if only ya could roof it!" Never a truer word!
Ed Smith was filling in for Muireann this afternoon. Over the weekend Ed was in Monaghan where learned three important things he needed to survive.
- Have a thick skin (someone told him he was putting on weight!)
- Ulster football - mention it in every conversation
- The weather - also mention this in every conversation.
So Ed put it to the listeners to find out their top tips for their county!
What 3 things do you need to survive in your county?
The texts came flooding in and the results are gas!
MONAGHAN - the word "hi" does not mean hello but rather just used as punctuation. Green diesel's also worth discussing hi and so is the stretch in the evening hi.
KILKENNY - lads walking around with hurleys is normal. It's a city not a town and the left bank nightclub is the place to go for the shift.
CORK - Only 1 ting u need 2 kno bout cork ed: we'v got it all and we know it! Paula
WATERFORD - you need to know about the blaa, the crystal and John Mullane from Jayo
LOUTH - We ain't in the North. Our accents are terrible, get used to it. We own The Corrs sisters, not Jim though, definitely not, no....... No way, Steve in DUNDALK
CORK - Display an innate disdain for Dublin. Suspect the moves of everyone. Learn how to use 'how bad?' - Stephen
LIMERICK - 1. The word Gowl. Use it in every sentence. 2. Munster Rugby. Bless yourself when passing Thomond Park. 3. Donkey Fords. Best chips in the country.
DUBLIN - 1 nowhere better. 2 nowhere has more 3. no one cares less, so leave your cares behind you. Bill
GALWAY - Know your festivals. Have a tolerance of students. Supermacs - Stephen
WEXFORD - all you need to know is Rissoles, strawberries and a bag of can in the Rocks!
KILDARE 1. Avoid M7 2. Avoid Newbridge 3. Avoid the M7
TIPPERARY - You need to know the weather, the club hurling scene, and what the potatoes are like this year, Phil in Tipperary
WESTMEATH - come for the lakes, but wear a hat or midges will have ya in bits. Mullingar is the only place for a night out, everybody there is in a band, and there is always an afterparty. Steer well clear of Athlone... it may seem like Westmeath, but there is a shockin' bang of Roscommon off it and one stray wander across the Shannon and you're in no-mans-land. - Alan
DONEGAL 1. There's no phone signal. 2. It's real Ireland not the east coast version 3. It's not the Kerry version either! LOL!
THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!
