Too many friends have moved to Cork and married in Cork to Cork people and are having Cork babies, slowly increasing the total number of Corkonians, and I'm not sure how to stop it but the first step must be either to ban Cork people from dating apps or enact a riding ban beyond the county bounds - ThreadSky

Maybe we can start by getting dating apps to ban people who send unsolicited pictures of their Cork.

We are everywhere I’m afraid 😔😔

I *am* afraid

I lost my sister to Cork 30 years ago. When my son moved there I knew he was never coming back. Cork job, Cork girlfriend, my sister is a surrogate mother. The place has the gravity pull of a black hole

This is what happens in the real capital

Funny enough, living in NYC, you would have figured Cork to be a bit empty these days. 😂🍀🍀

ciaraioch.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ye can have them!

😂😆🍀🍀

I'd start thinking of ways to devalue Cork property prices. It'll leave the suitors with little of value to attract others to Cork. *note this could backfire pushing more to Cork for the gaffs like.

Come to cork. We’re awesome

Whole goddamn island’s gonna float away if it keeps up

I’m from cork and so is my wife. We did try Dublin for a few years. First child started saying ‘boose’ instead of bus. Couldn’t be having that so we high tailed it back to Cork. We remain very open minded to non passport holders though

octonoodle.bsky.social•3 days ago

What is inspiring them?🤔

noradillon.bsky.social•3 days ago

Cork people who marry cork people tend to have a high insufferability level

fergplus.bsky.social•3 days ago

Where’s the evidence? If Cork people were insufferable we’d be the First to notice it, the First to acknowledge it and the First to

mickmuldoon.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well we are exceedingly tolerant.

corcaioch.bsky.social•3 days ago

Just don't blame your friends for moving to Cork... I mean, it's Cork ... like!

normacasey.bsky.social•2 days ago

If you can’t beat em join em. You’re all very welcome, it’s not like we’re building a wall. You can become more Cork than the Corkonians. #LivingtheDream

domquixote974.bsky.social•3 days ago

For the love of all that's holy, no!

Statistically speaking, the chances of riding a Healey-Rae in Kerry are way too high.

queenofthecraic.bsky.social•3 days ago

Agreed! They’re stealing our people! My son while in college in Limerick, met a girl from Clare and you got it … they live in Cork now! It has a magnetic hold on them …they say they can visit anytime, but they can never leave ! Booooy!

They'll be bobbing up everywhere.

mnotme.bsky.social•3 days ago

Perhaps they need to stop putting a cork in it?

satin665.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think you misspelled that.

mnotme.bsky.social•3 days ago

I meant to say that they should stop letting his arse go like a fiddlers elbow.

bigsizey.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's all relative...Count your lucky stars you're not stuck between Derry and Armagh.

dano1989.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is there anything to be said for digging a very large channel and seeing if they simply float into the middle of the Irish Sea?

mickmuldoon.bsky.social•3 days ago

We’re perfectly happy to institute a visa waiver program. Just don’t be from Kerry.

sleepysyme.bsky.social•3 days ago

Cork babies? Must be a bugger at bath time

kbjornolaoghraigh.bsky.social•3 days ago

Being of Cork heritage myself I cannot endorse. I’m hiding out amongst the Kerry Ó Laoghaire’s as a sort of 5th columnist. Although I have hung up my spurs, so to speak.

antisyzygy.bsky.social•3 days ago

I was always under the impression that the entire inhabitants of Cork had emigrated to America?

gruntbuggly.bsky.social•3 days ago

Both my kids are D-reg. We moved back to Cork soon after they were born. They've lived here almost all their lives.

I still worry that I'll hear a "Roish" or something out of their mouths someday.

thehames.bsky.social•3 days ago

We’re irresistible. There’s nothing you can do about it, I’m afraid.

samdolan.bsky.social•3 days ago

... NO! Riding

dos13.bsky.social•3 days ago

We're building an army to reclaim Occupied Beara.

Or, we can offer Ballydesmond as a fair trade?

ciaraioch.bsky.social•3 days ago

There was a bit of Kerry that ended up as Cork after some or other valuation, so we'll have that back for starters

jodcork.bsky.social•3 days ago

We're prepared to offer Rockchapel in exchange for Rathmore (seeing as half of Rathmore parish is in Cork anyhow), as well as occupied Beara for the Borlin Valley. Final offer.

Cork is this self-contained universe down there doing its own thing. If you ever meet a Cork person outside of Cork they're usually either talking about Cork, on their way back to Cork or planning to ultimately settle down in Cork.

bluwhalien.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is so true; my cousin has lived in various countries in Europe and he still thinks Cork is the best place to be and wants his children to grow up there 😭

mickmuldoon.bsky.social•3 days ago

The sad thing is you’ll meet people in life who aren’t from Cork, and can’t talk cogently about Cork.

craicis90.bsky.social•3 days ago

And these people you'll meet who aren't from Cork and can't talk cogently about Cork have never actually been to Cork.

mickmuldoon.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh, the horror!!

mousketeer.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is true.

oliviahopewriter.bsky.social•3 days ago

My son is 2 years into UCC and Ciara, there is the strongest Cork twang emerging. **clutches pearls**

mousketeer.bsky.social•3 days ago

Roy Keane, Ronan O'Gara, or Reggie from Blackrock?

ciaraioch.bsky.social•3 days ago

Olivia it CAN be reversed if caught early, but I'm afraid if he stays there for three more years - or more - it may become permanent

annemoore.bsky.social•3 days ago

They’ve found Nirvana!!! Living down there in Kerry and almost seeing the promised land… and then they find it!

hughmurnaghan.bsky.social•3 days ago

When you say riding ban....

I assume you mean as in not going beyond the bounds.

Asking for a friend (when I invent one).
