All right guys, I can't believe every year I have to come in here and clean up school yard level taunting. In case you missed the point it is meant to be a joke, there is a big bad world out there that don't even know Cork, Dublin or Ireland even exists try and get a little perspective, otherwise I'll just disable comments, its embarrassing!

im from cork and this is some funny shit

If what he says in one bit is true, he is born in Donegal, spent some time somewhere in Africa, moved to England (London?), and settled at last in Navan, but all I ever hear is Navan.

By the bye, if you were interested, his Cork accent is bloody awful, and sounds no-thing like anyone there. That said, I like this bit in spite of it.

Im English from Birmingham... Home of the accent which makes those who speak it sound a cross between perptually miserable, thick as two short planks and bored on a biblical scale. My sister in law is from County Mayo. We laugh at each others accents, doesn't mean we are racists though!

For all non-Corkians out there: The best way of getting your Cork accent right is putting a cork in your mouth whilst shpeeking :-p

Which might be why Cork got its name in the first place

I'm originally from county cork and I think this is hilarious for me its ok for an irish person to tell a joke about cork, I draw the line when it comes from racists out of the uk and anywhere else for that matter!
