Am I the only one here never to have seen one iota of humour in that stuff (and not just because of the slagging of northsiders etc.)?
I didn't care much for it either, I think because as a northsider living on the southside I met too many ROCKs! It's not really satirical when it's true and well short of the excesses of reality!Am I the only one here never to have seen one iota of humour in that stuff (and not just because of the slagging of northsiders etc.)?
I think you probably are..Its more about taking the mick out of southsiders
than anyone else.
The ironic thing is that it's written by a guy (Paul Howard from South Dublin) who, in real life, is exactly like the people he is satirising.

He isn't anything like ROCK and he's lived in county Wicklow for a long time.
me too found it and his books excellent especially the accent. especially the directions to Croke Park when the rugby was on. just plain funny.It would be a reason for me not to continue buying the Tribune - was usually the first thing I read.
