    Limerick is pretty shocking though, also known as Stab City so try to steer her in Cork/Kerry direction if you can!
    Thanks CM. Yeah, heard about the 'stab city' reputation. Shame.

    She likes rural areas so would not live in any major towns/cities anyhow.

    Oh. She says her family is from Clonmel, not Cork.

    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

      A fellow from Limerick turned up at our rugby club last week saying he was moving to Holland and wanted to play. Good player and a nice guy; he said something similar about Limerick and had the scars to prove it.

        Yep, I should have clarified that - I have family there too so it's not everyone!

        It's just I know most people wouldn't choose to settle there. It has a massive University, big sporting Uni and it's about the only saving grace. Munster have their ground there - Thomond Park.

          Probably a big 'town and gown' issue. Lots of places are like that. I was in Leicester as a Poly student and the townies hated our guts. Unusually for towns with a poly and a university, we actually got on quite well with the university crowd and regularly drank in each others union bars; I suppose common enemies united us.

                  Mrs Rookie's brother is a Garda in Limerick. He says Saturday nights can get 'interesting'...
                  I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.

                    I honestly didn't realise there were too many places worse than M'cstr...well except perhaps Wigan, Burnley, Blackburn...and essentially all of East Lancashire not excluding Oldham and Rochdale.

                    Hmm..point taken.

                      There's nothing wrong with East Lancs! Or at least there wasn't!
