Cork

[JOHNG]

Has anyone ever been? Can you recommend it?

I'm looking for a venue for my stag doo next year and i'm struggling a bit as i've been to most of the usual "city" places, i.e Newcastle, Dublin, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Prague, Paris etc along with Spanish/Greek islands blah blah but one of my mates suggested Cork which seems ideal as there are cheap and short flights from Liverpool and London (have a few mates down there).

I just wondered if it was any good and worthy of a piss up for a weekend?

[Swiss LFC fan]

Never been to Cork but I highly recommend Zurich! ;)

[mccoydromintee]

Crok is good spot for the rip, different breed down there but good craic.

[North Wales Red]

I've heard Lodz in Poland is really good.Cheap as chips too.
Anyone been?

[Patrick]

Galway or Kilkenny if you are thinking of Ireland! Both would be better than Cork in my opinion! Galway has a huge slection of good bars and night clubs!

[The Prince]

I've been in Galway this very week.

I got food poisonning.

Carry on.

[shaunie]

i had my stag in Cork, got mugged and my phone robbed, but what a weekend, if your into deep housse music, it's the capital of europe for it, if your not there is loads of normal disco's and 3 or 4 strip joints. If your really pushed to find somewhere to go, try waterford and try a bla roll, you'll never look back. Good Luck:)

[ger_ryan22]

All those towns in Ireland are similar really, Cork is good craic, Galway is good too. I find these places just too quiet really. Dublin is just a totally different city nowadays. I hardly recognise it. I always say that Liverpool is the best city for a session. Always was and always will be ;)

[Jasonw]

As a Corkman I'd say it's as good a place as any. I had my own stag in Dingle which is about a 2 hour drive from Cork through some of the most amazing scenary in Ireland. Kilarney is ok too and about an hour from Cork but it is a bit 'touristy'
Depends on what you want to do. If you are only going to see the inside of a pub you might as well be anywhere. If for example you want some sort of activity let me know and I can tell you the best places.

[The Prince]

Does "the craic" just involve getting pant-pissingly pissed? Never understood why that would be different to anywhere else.

It's just an Irish phrase that we use. Just means fun without the fights and bottle smashing. :rolleyes:

[dublinlfc]

depends what your looking for
I been to 2 stags here (cork and waterford) and 1 in prague
And if I was rating them it'd be prague, waterford then cork
But then Cork people(Rebels they call themselves) aren't really that fond of us Dubs, certainly not my type (thats the type that will not back down in an arguement about roy keane(the cunt) they love him down there)

Have you been to Berlin John? More than likely having mine there in June. Been on a stag there before and zee crack is gud.

[Mel Wood]

As this is becoming 'the European city stag do guide', I'm having mine in Budapest in June. Anyone been there on a stag or otherwise? Heard mixed reports so far so any other views appreciated.

Never been mate but let me know what it's like as i've still got a while to sort a venue. Not a city I really thought of to be honest as you don't really associate it with the usual shenanigans do you! More like a load of Basil Fawltyesque characters with short shorts walking round putting towels on bar stools and frowning when someone dares to ask "ver ist de nerest brothel"....or was that just Dortmund?

I've been before mate and had a great time. Loads of fun things to do during the day like the Berlin wall and Checkpoint Charlie ;)
There is a cafe nearby called Snackpoint Charlie. See, the Germans have a sense of humour after all.

I'm quite fond of the Cork accent, didn't know any of that stuff about the 'People's Republic' though, quite interesting.

I haven't been since I was a lad. Whats that game they play? Hurling is it? Hurley? Something like that. Bit like hockey but more violence.

There's a website and t-shirts! :rolleyes:

Hurling is one of the best sports to play and watch. A real game ;)

Yeah my Uncle took me to a match when I was a kid. He was well into it. I even think he played for a team, do Cork have a team called The Black ... something or other? My memory is awful. I'll ask my Mum about it later. I loved the game though, very scary.

Woah!, let us know what you really think there Ger!

The 'PROC' thing is a great marketing ploy targeting a large group of peoples need to feel part of something (even if it is a work of fiction), on the other hand Cork people do see themselves as different to the rest of the country, the name 'the rebel county' has it's roots in history as there has always been a more active 'home rule' attitude there than in the rest of the country.

As for hating the Dubs, us 'provincials' don't take kindly to having culture-less gobsheens coming down and blah-blah-blahing about the Capital and all it's charms, (I mean we could ALL do with pollution, gangland crime and traffic gridlock), while inferring the rest of us only just got electricity and indoor loos.

We'll defend our right to be different, we'll defend our own, and we'll not be ashamed of who we are or where we're from.
(much like the people of a city whose team is close to both our hearts)

Me personally, I have no issue with any 'outsiders' (foreign or domestic)....... except p'raps Kerrymen and their smug arse-faces which only seem to come out of the woodwork in August September.....:p

Tobyshore, why do you feel the need to 'defend' yourselves? Just wondering that's all. The Country is already divided, why dissect it even more? I don't have any problems with anyone outside of Dublin, I just hate the way some Cork people feel that, because Dublin was the capital and the seat of foreign rule, that they can say that we felt less passionate towards Irelands fight for freedom? I strongly disagree that Dublins attitude to "Home Rule" was less active than that of Cork. It was a countrywide effort, Many fine Corkmen, Claremen, Kerrymen and Dublin men were all involved in the fight against the foreign dilution. Them 'culchie' jokes have been going on years, you'd think people would just laugh and move on. Jackeen's been doing the rounds for years, I don't care though, I know the truth. Doesn't bother me at all. ;):D

[Scooby G]

Many going?

Becasue if so don't bother with Cork

25 of us went for my stag do - we had a good laugh but that was down to the people there

10 flew on the thursday and we were getting knocked back from places before dinner

Had to start going in places in 2's or 3's - getting served first before the rest of us rolled in - remember this was thursday afternoon

On the friday and saturday we found pubs with beer gardens in the day and that worked

The night time was a mare - couple would get in somewhere then the next few would get knocked back - so we ended up all split up

Saturday night we just found a bar and stayed in it for about 5 hours so we could all be together

Go elsewhere

Cheers mate, I have sort of made my mind up after all this!

I'm from Fazak too so may know some of the lads who went to Cork?

There could be as many as 40 odd going so I think Benidorm is going to get the nod!

40 in Cork!

Would not get in anywhere

Worst thing about it is the Irish can come to Liverpool in big numbers and can do as they please and be welcomed everywhere

thats because the drink in england is a lot weaker
Most irish can handle drink a bit better than the british
don't know why, we just do
therefore we are slightly more sober and better behaved....


I'll probably get slaughtered on here for saying that...
But if we are all honest about it I'll think most would agree

It's nothing to do with nationality. If 40 lads from any part of Ireland tried to get in some of these places in Cork Kilkenny Lahinch they're all doing it, they would get the big fuck off also.

Hiya Keith

We went to Budapest about two years ago with a group of people from our village pub. We had a great time but did not really hit the city centre or anything for bars, we tended to stay around our hotel. The beer was really cheap as most things were. If you’re after a bit of culture it is worth going to see their Parliament which was allegedly modelled on our Parliament building. If you take proof of ID you can get in for nothing and it is a really impressive building. We went to a place called the Statue Park too, which seemed to be quite a few miles out of town (although some of our friends went recently and they said it wasn’t that far – maybe we went via some sort of detour). That was brilliant; very small scale and not that ‘touristy’ but they had a load of statues and monuments from the communist era. The size of some of the monuments was colossal.

The food was really bizarre! Very odd combinations like chicken with cherry sauce but it worked and, again, was cheap. I've got a Berlitz guide somewhere if you would like me to bring it up at the weekend.

So are the pissed up cunts making complete tits of themselves at the mid week European matches English putting on Irish accents?

See people in England don't understand, you're getting yourself and 40 mates and going to a village basically and trying to get in to pubs where they just cant handle that amount of people all at once! Simple as that. Imagine 40 lads turning up in some little village in England, they're not gonna get in. That's why Liverpool is a different kettle of fish. They're geared towards that. There's places also in Dublin, Temple Bar, which is f*ckin ruined now! They'll accept whatever amount of people you can throw at them!

A few of us went on a stag do to Chester and had the same problem. One of the phrases the doormen used was "sorry lads, regulars only". Just how do you become a regular when you can't get in? Do you have to be turned away more than three times?

That's f*ckin annoying alright. Next time I'll say I'lll be regularly going to the bar with 20 of my mates spending a f*ckin fortune and giving you a bonus ye dick! And I hate the way most companies nowadays are looking for people only with experience!!!! How can I get experience if ya won't give me a f*ckin job!!!? :mad::rolleyes:

In Dundalk (Southern Ireland) if they hear a Northern accent all they say is "not tonight lads".

Cork ain't that small though - loads of places to go - just dickhead owners/bar staff/bouncers saying no to us - even some places when we tried in 2s or 3s

[Matt R]

Just do what I did John.

Minibus to Haydock Races(I don't have many friends, didn't even fill a minibus. Some of them were people I paid) get thoroughly smashed, back to town, and get even more smashed without the worry of where can we go? will we get in?. Went out at 9am, got in at 9am, and because it was local every fucker could afford to go. Had a scream. (And won shitloads on the nags, which helped).

Oh, and Kerry is better than Cork & Dublin put together.


Runs and hides.

You went out on your own, didn't you?;)


Get your arse to Blackpool. Lots of beer, good (albeit shit) food, novelty hats, hen nights and strippers AND I managed to have a fruitful day on my usual quest to steal signs for momentos. Like Matt says you get a full turnout as the trips abroad tend to have a few crying off.

I arranged my mate's staggy there a couple of years ago. I thought it was ace, although a few didn't think it was lively enough.

We stayed in the Ramada which was a bit off the beaten track, but it had a couple of local bars in the street which were about 30p a pint. These places really, really didn't know what to make of 30 odd scousers invading their little place...

There's a club called Cuba Libre which had THE best looking girls I have ever seen in my life - wall to wall rejection, it was. Bit of a poncy bar, but worth it for the scenery and to watch any single lads crash and burn.

There is also a pedestrianised street with a load of bars that were really cool, but couldn't get you there without doing somne googling. There was a really cool bohemian club as well, that a google search will throw up.

Defo get to the spars as well (not the 7-11 kind, the fat naked men kind). Great for hangover cures, but not so great if you do have an aversion to fat naked men talking Hungarian. It's ok though, you can't see their penises, their guts hang over and cover their modesty. (Scousers are allowed to wear shorts by the way). The steam room is a proper steam room, and the ice cold plunge pool is cool. Well, freezing, but cool.

Defo worth a visit - cabbies will ALWAYS try and rip you. Agree the price and check your change - 5000 notes can suddenly be 5s etc.

Noice one gavna. Had heard a bit about rip-off cabs and clip joints with fill-you-in mafia bouncers and hoping to avoid that mullarkey, just so I'm not getting wheeled up the aisle in a full-body cast, like.

We've already sorted a hotel in the middle of Pest, by the river, have sorted out entertainment for at least one night ('stag dinner', casino, pub crawl), but it's just the daytime stuff we'll have to suss out I reckon. A Honved match is out unless they're in the Intertoto cos it's close-season, but possibly Kalashnikov-shooting from quad bikes might be the way to go.
Cuba Libre should be a fitting homage to my single days if the single element are getting shunned ragged there, and the spas sound worth a visit to recuperate at! Cheers JT.

Going to have to sort one out for around Lpool too, done the 'day at the races' for a mate's last year, and fancy doing something different all day the Saturday before hitting town. Anyone been on one with all-dayer activities other than racing that worked out?

I'm not advocating this as you can't beat a simple day on the piss but I went to Prague a couple of years ago and went paintballing the morning after a night out. I was dreading it as to be honest I thought it was for gimps and all I wanted was hair of the dog but went along with it as you do. Fuck me it was a great laugh, especially given the aim of our particular game was to disable your target via shots to the "lady pleaser vacinity". By the time we had finished I had sweated off my hangover and was ready to go back on the ale mid afternoon. As I say, i'd still prefer a day on the piss but it was something different.

Thanks for everyones "comments" incidentally but i'm none of the wiser so thinking of just going the Grafton (the Monty's closed now I believe?!)

Words to the wise , ENTER DUNDALk at your peril. Its a cunt of a place.
Dundalk Women want you to blow them,
Pensioners dont do bingo , instead they love nothing better than a good old drive by on a Friday night,
and finally most men there have been rejected from the priesthood and so have now joined the local police force.. think southern comfort.. the accused etc.

KATE THORNTON: Now lets talk about Colin because in the UK he’s become the man of the moment.

SAMUEL L.JACKSON: Really? Only in the UK?

KT: Well everywhere but we kind of claim him as our own because he’s from Ireland.

SLJ: You can’t claim him because he’s from Ireland.

KT: Well we do because it’s close by. (laughter)

SLJ: Ok. That’s the source of all the conflict over there. You people always claiming the Irish as yours. We got a little problem just like that here called slavery but that’s ok we don’t need to talk about that so lets go. (more laughter)

KT: Well Colin is a very well paid slave.

SLJ: Ok good.

KT: As are you.

SLJ: Yeah all right.

KT: What did you know about him before you came to work with him on this project?

SLJ: I knew he was a hot, young, Irish actor who was good looking and I talked to a couple of people about him. I talked to Bruce about him and I talked to some script supervisors that had worked with him on a couple of things and they all loved him.

KT: So you checked him out?

SLJ: Yeah.

[Bandersnatch]

Not a fan of generalisations like this but what do you expect from the Irish.

[/SIZE]

:confused:

[ger_ryan22]

:confused:

Exactly. Then knee-capping comes up :rolleyes:

[Taylor]

What's that got to do with the Irish rolling over and letting the English walk all over them?

Well, I say roll over, they didn't really. They just started blowing up children by remote control. I suppose McGuinnes et al were too thick (sorry, tick) to realise that it wasn't the childrens' fault.

[Bandersnatch]

I'm not. Fact.

:D
I bet you are

[Taylor]

:confused:

It's ok. I sometimes miss jokes as well.

Not as fucking blindingly obvious as that one, like.

Big Mark Lamarr fan are we?

[Taylor]

Big Mark Lamarr fan are we?

Not really. Why, what have I said that relates to him?

[Bandersnatch]

I find behind most of these type of "jokes" there's a grain of truth.

Now you're sounding like a dick Taylor. There's winding up and then there's just plain stupidity. :rolleyes:

[Bandersnatch]

Not really. Why, what have I said that relates to him?

It's his thing to make an opening statement and then come back with a couple of "Well I say roll over" types additions.Come on Taylor, you don't miss much.

[Taylor]

Now you're sounding like a dick Taylor. There's winding up and then there's just plain stupidity. :rolleyes:

And which one was that? Thought you could take the banter anyway?

[ger_ryan22]

And which one was that? Thought you could take the banter anyway?

I can but I draw the line. Anyway, what's your gripe with Ryanair? :D

[The Prince]

:confused:

I was referring to Mr Ryan's affirmation about people from Dundalk being criminals - an over-generalisation of astonishing proportions.

I've generally got a problem with people thinking their country/region is far superior to everywhere else when it's not especially. I'd count Liverpool in that too. We have certain characteristics which make us different certainly but the over-romanticised element makes me shy away.

I am Scouse, however, not English so throwing anti-English stuff at me is never going to rile me. Lansdowne Road? As if any Liverpool fans would be involved in that.

I only mentioned kneecapping as an extreme example of something that used to happen - as Ger did.

For the record I can't see why people like Dublin. I like Galway but only for a short while which, being a home bird, is natural. As for countryside etc you can't beat the Highlands. That's a place which actually has an affect on me. Ireland simply doesn't. Too touristy.

WOW WOW WOW Hold the phone!! Where did I say anything about people from Dundalk being criminals?

Secondly, how do we know Liverpool fans werent at Lansdowne road that night? I hope to God they weren't and I like to think that they weren't but I was and thankfully I only got abuse off QPR and Chelsea fans!

I'm from Dublin, still love it, would prefer the city life over the country life any day but now's it's too 'touristy' - and who's fault is that? :rolleyes:

[Taylor]

I can but I draw the line. Anyway, what's your gripe with Ryanair? :D

It gets you lot over here.

[Bandersnatch]

Fair play Karl. Thanks for clearing that up.
Reminds me a bit of the Simpsons (what doesn't) when Lisa says something along the lines of "You can't say that about a country you've never been to" when Bart barges in and says "Yeah that's what they do in Russia"!

Anyways lets stop all the fussin' an a feudin'!

[Bandersnatch]

It gets you lot over here.

Yeah but it also brings us back. That's gotta count for something!

[ger_ryan22]

Yeah but it also brings us back. That's gotta count for something!

And I'm sure he's used it himself a few times! :D

Pure Alan Partridge, that, Kate.

[ger_ryan22]

Pure Alan Partridge, that, Kate.

Love Alan Partridge. Genius.

[The Prince]

Probably because hes banged up.

All ex terrorists in that shit hole,and all with wads of cash in their Toyota4 x4 Ususally Northern Bank Notes.
Words to the wise , ENTER DUNDALk at your peril. Its a cunt of a place.
Dundalk Women want you to blow them,
Pensioners dont do bingo , instead they love nothing better than a good old drive by on a Friday night,
and finally most men there have been rejected from the priesthood and so have now joined the local police force.. think southern comfort.. the accused etc.

Apologies. It was Lapland.

You don't quite get it, do you?

[ger_ryan22]

You don't quite get it, do you?

What, the whole we're scouse not english thing?? Yes but not all fans think that way.

[WarrenG]

I'm sure I've been told before but I'm still not sure why the Irish like supporting English teams. Surely they have teams of their own? Especially with some of the antipathy shown towards the English by some regular posters you would have thought that they'd rather be watching Waterford Hoofers or somesuch. Isn't it like someone English supporting Paris St Germain?

[The Prince]

Well, given that the "No Surrender" oiks of the English support are largely from the south with Chelsea/West Ham tattoos...

[ger_ryan22]

Well, given that the "No Surrender" oiks of the English support are largely from the south with Chelsea/West Ham tattoos...

Granted, we got spat at and "knife to the throat" signs from scumbag Chelsea/QPR fans. I'll never forget that. I was 16 and to see that was awful. I'm fairly confident that Liverpool fans are not like that. There might be a few bad eggs, every club has them but for me they are the best in the world. I'm so glad I was brought up to support them and no one else ;) (well St Pats in the Irish league)

[RED CORNER]

Considers bring up 1171, 1798, 1803, 1916, rapes, killings, lansdowne road 1995, oh the list goes on and on......

How proud they all must be :rolleyes:



Ah, but you more than pay us back when those piggy-eyed, incestuous, thieving, lawless, do what the fuck we like, make a mess of everywhere we stop, violent cunts known as 'travellers' arrive over here every summer.

These things even themselves out.

[AllezLesRouges]

Cork it is then?

[JOHNG]

Cork it is then?

You stole my thunder there mate...

[dublinlfc]

this is a tale to be told on your stag!!!!

wtf lads, calm down,

he's only looking for somewhere to have a piss up,

I'm sorry I ever mentioned the 'B' word

But some of the (what seems like) pure hatred towards us irish in this thread is totally unjust

as for refering to crimes of british army/irish republicans I think we'd all agree that every1 has moved on, we are more intelligent now and those days are in the past..


enjoy the stag mate, wherever you go

[tonk]

Why don't you just go out locally? Saves on carbon emissions!

[North Wales Red]

Badly tarmacced driveways........in this country.;)

[mccoydromintee]

If you mention Lansdowne as an example of the English being tramps, you really need to read up on the subject.

[redhotrobbie23]

Has anyone ever been? Can you recommend it?

I'm looking for a venue for my stag doo next year and i'm struggling a bit as i've been to most of the usual "city" places, i.e Newcastle, Dublin, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Prague, Paris etc along with Spanish/Greek islands blah blah but one of my mates suggested Cork which seems ideal as there are cheap and short flights from Liverpool and London (have a few mates down there).

I just wondered if it was any good and worthy of a piss up for a weekend?


hey mate i'm from cork and its alright but if u wanna go to ireland i'd recommend kilkenny, great spot.

[ohcampione]

go to Moscow in May i'd recommend it.

[kemlynreds]

For my stag do we went to Dublin first and then town the week after, had a great time, I did struggle with the accents though, if I could understand Czech or Polish it would have been a hell of a lot easier.

[Biscan the man]

I think everyone in Ireland would apologise whole heartedly to the world for these guys but seeing as their origins are linked to a nice fella called Oliver Cromwell who came over and slaughterd his way round the country its probably the least you deserve ;)

[RedRafa]

Crok is good spot for the rip, different breed down there but good craic.

Thanks!
We are are a diiferent breed, and a very good friend of mine is from Armagh, and I could say the same about ye!. Was with Armagh people for a few All Ireland finals and a wedding.
Soundest buch of lads you could meet.

[RedRafa]

Peoples Republic Of Cork - I mean come on!! :rolleyes:

F*ckin tools. You're not the capital, you never will be, you're miles away from anywhere good and you're accent sounds like, what did Tommy Tiernan say, like tinkers trying to speak French? :D ;)

But you're Irish, so that's ok.

I'm a Cork man, living in Dublin for the last 10 years.
I like Dublin, the only thing I don't like about Dublin is the Dubs, with exception.
Unlike you, I won't genarlize, I know a few sound people from Dublin, but I have met more than a few assholes from Dublin.

Try playing G.A.A. in Dublin against Dublin teams, when you're not from Dublin.
We formed our own Junior team from lads from all over the country and the abuse we got from Dublin teams for being culchies was fairly stong, but we won the league.

Whether you recognise it or not, there is still a them against us thing going on, when it comes to Dublin and the rest of the country.

No wonder the English took us over, we have always being fighting amongst ourselves and they out numbered us by about 20 to 1.
