There's only two counties, Dublin & everywhere else! :D
 
Re: How to remember the 32 County's

Had it drilled into me in school by a particularly fearsome Geography teacher, to this day I still remember them by county by province.
However - no special method Im afraid, just basic old learning by rote!
 
Re: How to remember the 32 County's

I did find this on another board - perhaps the way to go

Leinster = wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, lovely , lovely, lovely, my, chocolate, kit, kat, oooh, delicious!!

As with Caveat - we did each province!

Ohh no:eek: Caveat I have to admit you have been on my mind lately!!!
:D

Apologies, post should read, as with Truthseeker, also now that I read it 'we did each province' doesn't sound great either! :D

Dublin

Wexford
Carlow

Offaly
Laois

(sigh) I know, I know - you want me to play guitar at your civil cermony.

I should warn you though I only 'do' angular post modern progressive shards of dissonance - is that OK?

(I learned in the same sequence as Truthseeker BTW - more telepathy I suppose)

Caveat I fear that if you were to be at the ceremony, there wouldn't even be one anymore!

I think I'll just adore from afar! :D

Is there an Altenative?? ... boom boom

I usually visualise the map and whats next to where. Maybe that assumes/requires a good knowledge before you start, so probably not one for da Dubs.


(P.s. with the grammar police on code orange alert lately (or whatever the high alert is), I'm surprised the thread title hasn't been attacked as yet.)

I thought this was a quote from John O'Donoghue on one his jollies abroad.

You can't say stuff like " ****** alert" and put it in the same sentence as "police", it could be construed as being ******-ist or anti-****** or implying the police are ******-whipped like successive British "Govermints".

When I was a kid we had [broken link removed] and it was a wonderful way to get your head around all the counties.

Me too. Never to be forgotten. CBS was great!

A few years back I went through all the counties I have been in to see if I had been to all of them. I was in all but 2 (Tyrone & Fermanagh) so I made a point of visiting them that year. Worth waiting for...
