this is a fantastic place if it's a good day and just about the most miserable place in the world if it isn't

prediction: d-mac and nakhchivan are going to meet up with each other and nobody else (on achill island) JUST TO IRRITATE ME

they will share a plate of colcannon and muse on the transitory nature of the modern centre-forward, then they will fly a kite

sounds dreadful

nah i haven't been in ireland since i was a kid and probably not going back anytime soon, everyone's dead or in england now

i totally plan to fap with plax and darraghmac someday even though they don't live by each other

i think plax prob lives by my 3rd cousins, if they exist

everyone's dead or in england now

fairly accurate assessment of the entire country fwiw

I have only met ilxors whom I knew before they were ilxors, and who aren't ilxors very often anyway. Maybe I can get in on this Achill Island thing too?

there's an achill island thing?

everyone's dead or in england now

fairly accurate assessment of the entire country fwiw

that or in dublin, which suffices for noncommittal

anyway meeting people off the internet still seems a strange concept to me tbh, not that sure of any of ye.

I did meet people irl off an old board I used to frequent. They all turned out to be twice my age.

^^^after I'm terminally SB'd I'm using this line

This is the thread for ILXors who have never met any other ILXors in person

no interlopers pls

I have never met ilxors either. And I don't think I ever will, since you're all imaginary elaborate bots programmed by Keith.

didn't think so.

Can do. In K1ltim4gh regularly. A stone's throw!

(I know. 3-figure poster, barely an ilxor)

my mom's cousin's husband is from achill. dude is completely nuts.

surname pls, with family nickname if known.

i know all the dublin area ilxors used to be great shakes at meeting up, i feel like perhaps we're a very antisocial bunch.

maybe it's the recession?

darragh: n03l sc4nl0n

once, and technically my ex used to post but

xp (lives in england btw)

i've lived on and off island in bursts, so i don't know everyone like i should, but by tomorrow and after a few texts i'll have his shoe size.

i know three ppl with that name

K1ltim4gh (pronounced /ˌkɪltʃɪˈmɒk/) is said by some to be a possible origin of the quasi-derogatory term (depending on context and use) "culchie", traditionally employed by Dubliners to describe people from rural Ireland, or from any part of Ireland outside Dublin.

this doesn't seem very likely to me

haha let me know what you discover. only met him twice (only been to ireland/england twice)--interesting guy, i like him, but enjoys fucking w/ppl and there's something totally off-putting abt his manner.

hah failte so

coillte is 'woods' so really that'd seem the most likely widespread origin

This thread is about me.

K1ltim4gh (pronounced /ˌkɪltʃɪˈmɒk/) is said by some to be a possible origin of the quasi-derogatory term (depending on context and use) "culchie",

iirc i have been directly involved in every instance of the word 'culchie' on ilx.

and it's always derogatory. we've been trying to take it back but tbh as a group we lack the necessary appreciation of meme appropriation

this is so fuckin irish. a gang of us, for all intents and purposes, in a room complaining that we've never met.

CAD- i've him narrowed down to two parishes already, but my #1 source is out of his mind atm because it's after 8pm on a weekend

i like him, but enjoys fucking w/ppl and there's something totally off-putting abt his manner.

what you got there, see, is a culchie

lol i love ireland. quick story abt the last time i saw him--a few of us were getting drunk in a hotel bar in a converted castle somewhere northwest of galway. noel spots this eighteenish american kid with his family, buys him a couple drinks, and spends the next 90 minutes trying to convince the kid that he might actually be gay.

desperate

fiersh

enough of this jig actin i gotta go get drunk.

this is so fuckin irish. a gang of us, for all intents and purposes, in a room complaining that we've never met.

nah i'm not complaining

you've a mouth on ya so ya do

tbs, tbs

you did visit our country right?

tbh my country too but yeah enough to know that nobody ever says tbs, tbs irl

think it cld have ilx meme life tho

tbh my country too

THE NET CLOSES

gah I need to stop this, it's creepy

^^srsly

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d4/Stalker_poster.jpg

fyi many of my people say tbs tbs but sure it's probably somthing a yank brought home with them

Never met an ILXor in real life either.

I am one of these peoples

srsly nostalgic for ireland rite now

I live in England now. I've never met any ILXors. This thread is for me.

I've met at least 8. This thread is not for me.

Funny how some upthread posters have now prob met as many ilxors as like, ned or someone heh.

I have met something in the order of 15 ILXors so far, inc 3 from other shores (mookie, jergs, and donut)

And yet I have still not met estela ;_;

I have never met another ILXor, it's crazy enough to me that I have talked to any on the phone. I sometimes feel kind of like you guys are my imaginary friends.

but we are, abbott! we are...

I feel like I'm my imaginary self.

noboddy

I prefer nobodaddy.

I don't exist irl, so

i've never met anybody at all irl

sounds like you should register with rl then xp

I think I'm real, could be wrong.

yer all a bunch of creeps!

on the other hand, i don't know who any of you are so i might have met each and every one of you! i think i'd remember if i met Ned Raggett though

I've now met

Dan P
Call All Destroyer
Mark CL (not sure if he's still around?)
and
Roxy

They were all great.

And in a few weeks...

I'm good friends with one fairly regular and one very infrequent poster but those predate ILX by a long time. Other than that, nobody.

i tried to meet Ned Raggett once

but like the wind, he was gone

Disaster - last night in my dream I did meet another ilxor, who dropped by my house. It's best not to say who because he was totally charmless, dismantling my stuff and complaining that we hadn't made him anything to eat, but I had to make nice because I needed him to sign some cheques (which he did eventually, but badly, so I hope the bank don't look too closely). This guy was so moany that my sister painted him a collage of contenders from British party leadership contests (featuring Heseltine as a frog-on-a-throne, John Major in a pink linen shirt, and Gordon Brown replaced by an 'anyone but Brown' billboard) as a sop, which he snatched at but clearly didn't get or was interested in, which really annoyed me cos it was loads of work, and now I've woken up all tense. Also, he started the dream as a dwarf, and ended it looking like a greasy James Corden.

I'm not doing that again.

Crap yr right, I knew I was forgetting someone.

Urgent Poll Required

^^^prime suspect

Can not really figure out Belfast usage of "culchie", have heard it used to mean "students from Tyrone who wear GAA shirts and trash Belfast's notoriously rowdy student housing area on St Patrick's day" and "weedy pseudo-intellectuals all reading their newspapers and novels which don't involve stuff blowing up" and anything in between

as someone from a small market town in a slightly (but not very) rural bit of England I haaate hearing Londoners use words like "provincial" so if that is all it means then I am not for it, but it is a euphonious word I guess

i tried to meet Ned Raggett once

but like the wind, he was gone

A vision. (You're in New York though, I think? I'll be there in a few weeks.)

xp it's like 'provincial' but with added whip.

main difference there being chez nous we have a superiority complex wrt dubs, so really it's quite funny.

xxp- yeah i reckon it was me too!

I'm saying nowt.

I thought culchies were townies who go out and lairily drink on a Saturday, but without fighting - if they fought, they would be SPIDES.

there are serious international boundaries here if your version of the culchie does not get involved in assault charges with each visit to a large population centre

Ah. The guys I'm thinking of don't fight, but they'd puke or pee in public. Ed used to call them 'shirts and shoes'.

this doesn't seem very likely to me

Heard it a few times, from not-awful sources, but nah sounds totally fake-back-derivation to me too, kind of downer because I'd be a-ok with this, wld give me some credentials in the culchie pride movement.

i have puked in public, in dublin, within the past 6 months. culchies are v big on tradition

is culchie used interchangably w/ provincial these days? i thought it was strictly applied to bathtub poteen drinking ne'er do wells in the hills and not for bourgie townsppl from sligo

it's all done solely on income since the celtic tiger tbh

but yeah rather than 'provincial' really i suppose it's 'rural'

Heard it a few times, from not-awful sources, but nah sounds totally fake-back-derivation to me too, kind of downer because I'd be a-ok with this, wld give me some credentials in the culchie pride movement.

iirc i've actually been there and can't rly remember anything about it but i'd guess it's too small a place to have developed a countrywide meme tbh, cute fake etymology tho

if only there was a blogworthy young colleen who sang about the INLA and ate truffle taytos to spite sourfaced journos

'and i don't wanna talk about culchies'

Most of my LOLIRELAND trufax (spides, the stabbiness of Limerick, etc) come from '90s friendships with Father Ted guys and popstars of the Hannon and Cairns variety. Though mostly with the Hannon, this involved asking him whether there were tons of people in his manor with my very very Fermanagh surname.

Ginger-shooting video for her single from /\/\ /\ Y () would send confused signals.

no it wd be shooting of tamil ppl to avoid controversy

best derail

woof proclaiming culchie pride but when push comes to shove what does he read? english books, even worse anglo-irish in some instances

they always let you down in the end

I've only met a now-ex-ILXor. *Sheds solitary tear for D4rn13ll3

my reputation is still unsoiled by association with any of you, yes

in engaging with english books i am in a sense subverting them.

How different are the words HOME, CHRIST, ALE, MASTER, on his lips and on mine! I cannot speak or write these words without unrest of spirit. His language, so familiar and so foreign, will always be for me an acquired speech. I have not made or accepted its words. My voice holds them at bay. My soul frets in the shadow of his language.

Ni cheapaim

No, honestly, I won't pick up a book unless I can subvert the shit out of it.

For as long as I have been posting here, I really probably should have met more of you by now.

yes you should have

pondering what beloved ilxor Tun-dish thinks about this

dammit i misremembered what a tundish is

I've met three (3) aussie mongs Trayce, Haitch and AA. They set the bar pretty high, kinda concerned that meeting other ilxors would be a disappointment now

...or I don't get out much

You like in SF, yes? We should watch Runway together or summat! Note: I am not an Aussie mong.

I live in Sacramento: SF adjacent!
I didn't know you were in SF!

oops exclamation over use sorry

That's OK! I like exclamation marks!
Technically I live in South Bay. SF adjacent!

Yay!

are any of you dudes worth meeting?

i was in Stockton four years ago ... even closer to Sacramento than SF. i wish i'd known that there were ILXors there!

I met a bunch of DC-area ilxors when I was down there auditioning for "Jeopardy" a couple years ago, but that's it. Was going to go to NYC last year for the NYC Century bike ride but had to cancel. If I can make it this year, hope to set up a FAP.

where are all the Green Bay ILxors

in green bay

I knew some ILXors (who are no longer ILXors) before I was an ILXor but now not so much. Or at all. I almost met up with the Chicago contingent a bit ago. Maybe someday.

I have met 10 ILXors in real life, but one of them isn't s1ocki

Someone said to me last weekend "what do you mean you have never met s1ocki that is so surprising and weird". The weight of expectation is too great, we will never meet

I met two new ILXors last year! I was beginning to think that would never happen again *sniff*
