people say living in a mid-sized irish town is shite but nothing compares to the lovecraftian horror that is living in a small-sized irish village

Shh! The myth of friendly Irish villages, surrounded by lush green fields with one or two welcoming pubs in which lovely, sad-eyed, smiling auld Irish men play traditional Irish music with fiddles, guitars, banjos and more whilst the whole clientele sings along in perfect harmony forms a significant part of the blood which flows through the Irish Tourism Board's propaganda! It is up there with Keychains with [insert common Irish surname] on to claim the heritage of one's great, great, great, great grandfather's second cousin's cat's vet who came over to Boston for work, slogging it out for many years in order to leave an inheritance so that [insert common Irish surname] IV could open [insert...]'s pub in Southie, which has auld Irish-American men playing Dropkick Murphys every Saturday night and where the beer is green all year round! You're not allowed to mention this stuff until Google and Apple start paying *some* tax. Just a little bit! Do you know how sore your fingers can get from having to play stringed instruments whenever a tourist enters your local pub? Or how difficult it is to force a smile when people enter the place you like to drink and forget wearing bumbags?

This video has profoundly reshaped my comprehension of the world. I thought the mid-sized swiss town I live in was mid-sized, but seeing this mid-sized irish town, I now have to wonder what is truly "mid-sized" as my town does not posess such roundabouts nor a big Tesco. Maybe the only true mid-sized being in the universe then is Frankie himself. Namastè

Depends on which part of Scotland we're talking about. And, dialectically, this also depends on which part of Ireland we're talking about. With Ireland, its more than just a "part", but its historical links to a general part of Scotland are what I'm getting at. A general part where paving stones are painted blue, white and red and where the UDA own at least one pub (that I know of). Although to be fair its a big part, and it isn't all like that. In seriousness, James Connelly wrote some good history on the links between that part of Scotland and the Six Counties. Beautiful countries both and lots in common in many ways.

@ceilingsandfloors Жыл бұрын
Maynooth basically was a village until the 1980s or so. Like lots of growing towns on the Dublin Commuter belt. Hence the underwhelming high street. If you wanna see a mid-sized "proper" town, go to Wexford or Clonmel.
