I find Cork people a bit wooden to be honest.
Clubman, given your somewhat recent tendency to dissect other poser's comments on grounds of grammer, would you care to expand on your use of the term "wooden"?

A Kerry person sticking up for Cork people. I never thought I'd see the day.No, I don't think so. As Legend says, Cork people are above that sort of thing because of their natural superiority. However Dublin people may believe Cork people should have a chip on their shoulder about them because they ( wrongly ) think they are superior. As this post is by someone neutral ( Kerry and proud) you can take it that I am right.
Dublin?
Dublin?
Is there another city outside of CORK?
Is humour allowed in Letting off Steam? A Corkman came up to Dublin in search of fame and fortune. As he made his way along the quays from Hueston, he heard shouting coming from somewhere close by. Looking over the parapet he saw a man struggling in the water. Without a moment's thought he threw off his cap and long overcoat and jumped straight into the Liffey. When he saw the Corkman coming, the drowning man cried "Thank you! Thank you", "You've come to save me!". Yerrah, I have not" said the Corkman, "I just want to know where you work!".
Northside Dub and proud of it.
Cork has a population of about 120'000. The greater Cork area has 380'000 (2006 census). That's a town that thinks it's a city. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice place and may well be nicer than Dublin. I have never lived there so I don't consider myself qualified to comment. It's just that in my experience Cork people have a preoccupation with knocking Dublin. Is it regional insecurity or is there some other reason? People from Galway or Waterford or Belfast or Limerick (or other large towns) don’t seem to have the same obsession.
Yes they do, I have worked in Waterford, Limerick, Dublin and Cork and everyone outside of Dublin likes knocking Dublin.
Nothing personal I am sure against anyone in particular just something us folk 'down the country' like to do.
