Time? Time has no meaning here in the seventh circle of hell, where even despair dies…
Why do I despise Flannery’s on Camden Street? A full and candid response to that question would run to fill a 12-page pull-out supplement. Suffice to say: Drunk off-duty Gardai. Drunk off-duty nurses. Drunk off-duty Gardai copulating with drunk off-duty nurses. Fake tan. Peroxide. Rugby shirts. DJs with stupid mid-Atlantic accents who say things like “It’s Saturday night in Flannery’s and the paaarty is just getting staarted…” Read the rest of this article here.

I went there for the first and last time just before christmas for work drinks. Fuck me that place is my worst nightmare. Full to the brim of what I’d term ‘bad culchies’, the lets-all-howl-like-idiots-at-every-girl-who-walks-past kind. Absolute rednecks.

Holy crap, well I hope I’m a ‘good culchie’ Bren!

There’s like a civil war going on and there two sides….
Good culchies and bad culchies.
And the bad culchies have got to go
Everytime good culchies wanna have a good time
bad culchies fuck it up

Hahaha…Hadn’t heard from you in a while Massey, but back with a bang. Comment of the year!

Yeah you’re safe enough Eoin.
ha I don’t know if I would even use the word culchie in reference to normal country people.

Wow, the Chris Rock parallels really are just piling up here, aren’t they! Well that’s a relief anyway, I’m in the clear.
Apologies by the way for being totally out of the loop on this, but are you still updating the Analogue website? I really liked the video you did last year.

A bad culchie will “howl like an idiot when girls walk past.” A bad Dub will rob your Granny with a knife to feed his heroin addiction and sleep in a pile of his own feces every night.
I know who I’d rather share space with(and I say this as a Dub!)

Well at least I know now where to go for my first night out in Dublin after I get home!

Avoid it like the plague, Lisa. Bad culchies. Very bad culchies there!

Dammit back to the drawing board so. I was looking forward to fake tan/peroxide/rugby shirt thing. God knows there’s only so many flannel shirts and goggle tans a girl can take!

Well hey, don’t let me stop you. You may love it… Or a tiny part of you may die forever… It’s a crapshoot really.

No no there was a very good reason why I fled the epicentre of the Celtic Tiger with such urgency in the first place…
Warning heeded.
