Fuck off Dan and MGG, we gave the world Chris De Burgh and Gilbert OāSullivan. Case closed.
what are you on about fitzyā¦gilbert āthe legendā o sullivan is from waterford and chris āthe bollixā de burgh was born out foreign and only settled in wexford later in lifeā¦
We claim Chris De Burgh mate and Gilbert used to live in Bunclody, so leave our heroes alone.
donāt have a hop off me i am quite the gilbert o sullivan fanā¦nothing rhymes is a superb tuneā¦
Canāt say Iām familiar with it, but because heās from Bunclody, the brilliance is assumedā¦
Much like yourself Pukeā¦
[quote=ādancarterā]Fuck off Potato & Fitzy.
From a county famous for travellers that is harsh. What makes me laugh is even the settled folk sell produce out of a van on the side of the road! And basinig your economy on selling strawberries, in Ireland!!
Cork is a great place, lovely city, great university, huge sporting tradition. There may be some langers involved with our sporting teams at the moment but class is permanent.
We gave the world Rory Gallagher, you gave us dancin at the crossroadsā¦some fucking lyrics though āwhats the story Martin Storyā what genius fucking wordsmith came up with that![/quote]
Hang on there a minute: on the University front, Wexford now has a Carlow IT outreach centre, so I wouldnāt get too carried away there.

We gave the world Rory Gallagher, [/quote]
He was born in Donegal.

The people of Cork also rowed in behind Perkin Warbeck, thereby earning the āRebel Countyā nickname . Priceless.
Cork people making lists to justify their odd county. Wonderful.
The Cork argument is so flawed. What use is listing off a bunch of people no-ones heard of?
Also Fitzy, I think Gilbert lived over the Carlow border did he not?!
Wexford has given the 2 of the best flat racing trainers Ireland has ever seen. Stick to horse racing - weāve a stronger argument there
Donāt be ridiculous Mac, the Carlow border is a mere figment of the imagination of people who live in Ballon.
true - british rebels
Just dont say that around Clonegal or Kildavin

Correct; Rory Gallagher was born in Donegal; but reared by Langers; hence his Ledge status.
Kudos to Wexicanāts everywhere on your most famous son; Gilbert.
Still a fan.
