Under the entry for Kilmallock
“Kilmallock is also twinned for socio-economic purposes with Croom in County Limerick.”

There was a gas one about Newcastle West up for ages. It said local passtimes included “fingering the box off a bird behind Coolios”.
Lol…is Coolio’s still open?

The Football Association of Ireland (FAI)Are a bunch of Fucking useless cts that should be taken out and shot. Everything that they touch turns to ash. wheither it’s the Eircom League, all the money that they blew after the 1990 & 1994 world Cups, the Building of Eircom Park, The Roy keane incident, The Sacking Of Brian Kerr after he did the best that he could right down to the Appiontment of a man without no managerial experience and who talks through his arse…Mr Steve Staunton! the organising body for the sport of association football (soccer) in the Republic of IrelandThey should appoint Dave Barry 'cause he is from Cork and knows all about winning. Doucha Davey Barry boy!. It should not be confused with the Irish Football Association (IFA), which is the organising body for the sport in Northern Ireland which is full of dirty fkin huns and snakes just like Rangers.
Nope, it reopened last year as “West” amid a blaze of publicity and rumours of a mulit-million euro make over. It closed about 6 months later. It’s been through a few transformations since Coolios but could never shake the stigma attached to the venue!
Once you hit 17 you were too old for Coolios and you moved onto Monties or The motel.
One of my favourites was the job a lad I know did on Christy Ring’s page:
Inter-county
By the late 1930s Ring was spotted by the Cork minor hurling selectors and he quickly joined the team. He was a substitute in 1937 as Cork won both Munster and All-Ireland minor titles. In 1938 Ring was a full member of the team and he played a huge role in helping Cork to another Munster title. In the subsequent All-Ireland final Rings excellence was the main factor in Corks defeat of Dublin to win the title.
Ring made his senior debut with the Cork hurlers in the autumn of 1939, playing in a National Hurling League game against Kilkenny. He quickly became a regular fixture on the team and won his first major title, a National League medal, at the start of 1940. Cork contested the Munster final later that year, however, after a replay the great Limerick team of the era emerged as the victors. Ring won a second National League medal in 1941, but that year’s hurling championship was severely hampered due to an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Munster and Leinster. As a result of this Tipperary and KIlkenny, the two counties that were affected the most, were not allowed to participate. Because of this it was decided that Cork would represent Munster in the All-Ireland final. The game against Dublin turned into a rout as Cork won and Ring collected his first senior All-Ireland medal. In the delayed Munster final Tipperary gained their revenge by defeating the All-Ireland champions. Ring surprised many at this stage of his career when he strongly argued for the adaptation of a new mechanism for the appointment of the county hurling captain. Ring suggested that hurlers were, in fact, re-incarnations of warrior poets, and as such, their poetic powers should determine their seniority. The scheme was adopted for a one year trial period, and later disbanded. Rings personal entry was the following: "When you look into my eyes And you see the crazy gypsy in my soul, It always comes as a surprise, When I feel my withered roots begin to grow, Well I never had a place that I could call my very own,That’s all right, my love, 'cause you’re my home

Not sure if it was lies but on Grainne Seoige’s page for a long time there was a reference to her being known as a girl around town during her college days. It has been cleaned up since.
When Villa played Litex Lovech last year in the Uefa Cup, some mong from the Daily Mail copied from their wikipedia page that the Litex fans liked to wear hats made of shoes.

An extract from the wiki of former TFK astro star, Raidhr Conroy
Raidhr Conroy (born 1979) is an Irish actor.
Conroy was born in Dublin, Ireland, the son of actor Brendan Conroy.[1] One of his first castings was as ‘Tito’ in the film Into the West, for which he won a Young Artist Award in the Outstanding Youth Actors in a Family Foreign Film category.[2] In 1998, Conroy received the Theatre World Award for his performance in Martin McDonagh’s play, The Cripple of Inishmaan.[3]
Conroy also appeared in another McDonagh film, the film ‘Six Shooter’, which won the Academy Award for Live Action Short Film in 2006.[4]. Although invited to the 78th Academy Awards, Conroy was unable to attend due to a “passport infringement” on arrival, resulting in his being returned home. He was recently engaged to Irish popstar Samantha Mumba, and the couple intend to wed in Summer 2010.

Aboy the Ben, I haven’t laughed so much in a long time. :D:clap:
Someone in The House of Parliament is changing ‘Ireland’ to ‘United Kingdom’ on a bunch of Wiki articles. This may be a covert signal to invade, be alert boys.
