Very funny Bock. I really wouldn’t mind a lot of the Limerick bashing if it was actually funny.

Dublin media just seems to enjoy this boggy-man they’ve made of Limerick, safe in the knowledge that Limerick isn’t a tourist hot-spot, and the public will likely never know any different. It’s just an easy target for lazy hacks, who need to sensationalize their pieces.

Has anyone here ever talked to somebody from up the country who’s never been to Limerick and relies on the media for their knowledge of Limerick? A bizarre experience is the only way I can describe it!

Ah, leave the poor unfortunate Dubs alone…..if they weren’t busily highlighting the occasional crime in Limerick or republishing details of ten-year-old events ad nauseum, they might actually have to look at what happens in their own city and start subscribing to the “people-in-glasshouses” train of thought.

Better to slag off somewhere else and make it look worse than it is than risk actually publishing the truth.

Funniest one ever was [true story] when a few of us were on holidays and, on hearing where we were from, some guy from Antrim used the phrase “stab city”……talk about being fixated on a stereotype!

I was SO tempted to ask how come that area of the country was full of terrorists, but I decided that any idiot who jumped to conclusions like that wasn’t going to be capable of a lucid discussion (and besides, solely because of where he was from, he might have kneecapped me and then buried me on a beach somewhere).

I think I just used the phrase “kettle, pot” and walked away…..

I fkkn remember when we played the Limerick Paladium. Limerick’s a great toon but the standard of welding is shite.

That’s different. Those eastern European fuckers can fuck off. Crowd of crooks.

Staying over there taking our jobs. And our women. And our dogs.

Apparently he used to be Thirty Major but he went on Atkins.

Neither can I. Was it an Eastern European Mafioso (but surely Bock wouldn’t engage in negative stereotyping …*cough*…) or some bloke at the bar?

Who can tell?

Anyway Purple, I’m not sure how you draw the link between my blog and the manufacturer of delicious turkey based products.

It’s true, Cap’n. Much to my surprise, he wasn’t fat when I met him, though of course I can’t be certain who I met.
