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.

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

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'.

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

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
