Ah Limerick. The hometown of Paul O’Connell. The place where ‘woo love’ is a greeting and ‘mup out of it’ is definitely not…
The city that’s home to Thomond Park, Donkey Forde’s and The Crescent Shopping Centre (a shelter for bored teenagers for the last decade).
Here are twelve things only people from Limerick will understand.
1. When you’re not sure if the little man who plays the accordion down that lane off Cruises Street just told you a joke…
Or asked you a question.
2. Everything is fine in secondary school…
Until the sun comes out and you are wearing a skirt that has more material than a tent.
3. You know Nancy Blakes is not just a weekend bar…
4. Those random girls you say ‘hi’ to even though you can’t remember their name…
But you know you were in Spotlight together.
5. When you were at The Energizer and you were asked:
‘My friend wants to know will you shift him?’
6. The last five minutes of a Senior Cup final.
7. In Chicken Hut we trust.
(Fork is in the bag.)
8. ‘Where you from?’ ‘Limerick’
*Stab City joke*
9. When a horse and cart overtakes you on the road.
10. At the end of a night out when the security guard in Burger King tells you to put on your shoes before you can come in…
11. It’s acceptable to wear pyjamas in public…
We don’t make the rules.
12. Ladies night in the ICON…
Did someone say fricon?!
