Fuck off Dan and MGG, we gave the world Chris De Burgh and Gilbert O’Sullivan. Case closed.
what are you on about fitzy…gilbert ‘the legend’ o sullivan is from waterford and chris ‘the bollix’ de burgh was born out foreign and only settled in wexford later in life…
We claim Chris De Burgh mate and Gilbert used to live in Bunclody, so leave our heroes alone.
don’t have a hop off me i am quite the gilbert o sullivan fan…nothing rhymes is a superb tune…
Can’t say I’m familiar with it, but because he’s from Bunclody, the brilliance is assumed…
very underrated and quite profound at the same time…
Much like yourself Puke…
[quote=“dancarter”]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 crossroads…some fucking lyrics though “whats the story Martin Story” 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 wouldn’t get too carried away there.

We gave the world Rory Gallagher, [/quote]
He was born in Donegal.
i actually thought that when i read it, but i am not an expert on rory gallagher so i presumed i was mistaken…

I am not worthy of any of the above.
Wexford; home of the tash and Art Foley; 'nuff said.[/quote]
The people of Cork also rowed in behind Perkin Warbeck, thereby earning the ‘Rebel County’ 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 - we’ve a stronger argument there 
Don’t be ridiculous Mac, the Carlow border is a mere figment of the imagination of people who live in Ballon.

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