Well, we don't refer to country people as cowboys and Indians for no reason.

Ever been to a culchie nightclub?

One client has a bar/restaurant out in the sticks near Dunshaughlin, and I used to decorate it for her once a year. There's a nightclub on the side called 'The Vortex' and it's the weirdest thing: there isn't a house for miles around, yet every lunchtime (for culchies, that's usually around 1100) the place is stuffed to ceiling with boggers in wellingtons and overalls. They grab a massive plate of food off the smorgasbord and a pint and then they set into the food: shoveling that stuff up and mouth-breathing really loudly, then taking in a gulp of lager or even Guinness, to soften the grub so they can swallow it after only chewing once or twice.

The eating habits crack me up, but I can't actually laugh at them, Beanie would fire me on the spot.

Another trick is the way they only use a knife once at the start of the dinner - they hack up the meat into smaller chunks, then start shoveling huge fork-fulls down the gullet, mostly whole. Then the slurping of the tay after: this is another ritual the culchies practice: who in the whole bar can slurp their tea the loudest? Then there's the belching with the jaw wide open. The rubbing of the belly and the comments to the waiting staff like: 'jaze, that's some craic, that' as she takes their plate away - nothing on it but a few gravy trails and one or two peas that got away.

But the nightclub?

Fuck me, the place is in the middle of nowhere, there's nothing but bog for miles around, but come eleven o'clock on a Friday evening? Coach-loads of them, hundreds and hundreds of young culchies all arriving at the same time, booting and shoving each other to get a table by the dancefloor, the room freezing cold, slowly warming with the heaving bodies of young culchies on the razz. Vodka and Red Bull next to pints of lager and everyone with a naggin in their back pocket. Culchies necking on the dance floor, then heading back to the mates to give an appraisal of yer wan's shifting technique. The verdict comes in: 'ohhh, well jaze she's a looker alright, that one. Tricky too. But those calves of hers? Those thighs? Lots of room in there lads, wha?''

At three in the morning the bar is supposed to close, not a hope of that though. They buy up rounds and rounds and fill their table, then make sure not to leave even a drop behind.

This joint, though I just read it's now closed down.

The club was renamed since I was last there.


Redneck territory alright.
 
Sounds like a pigsty / barn during feeding time. 😅

Trust me: I rather have been in the barn tied to a pig in heat than in that club watching their antics.

It's like a time machine - it brings you back to the old dnacehall days of Albert Reynolds before he got into politics. All the lads hugging the bar and the extremes of the walls. All the girls dancing around a pile of handbags, lurching like cattle being fed into the mincer.

'Hon, tis yourself - how's it gawn? Fancy a shift on the flaar? Noah? Ri' so..'

A salty mixture of lads in track suits and shiny new sneakers competing against lads in suit jackets and pants with the legs tucked into the wellingtons and the cotton shirt buttoned up to the neck. Pint in hand, standing staring into the middle distance of the dancefloor, trying to catch anyone's eye.

The music is some terrible house music played at top volume with CDs played on rotation until someone changes the discs.

Mostly it looks more like a silent disco, because when they're all dancing and the floor is full, it's hard to spot even one bogger who's actually in time and on the beat. The lads mostly shuffle around the edges until the final hour, which by then they're swinging the tracksuit top around while 'dancing' on the floor, naked from the waist up.

Irish people.

Gas.
 
The pig would probably have better manners as well.

It's crazy to think people like this make up so much of the Civil Service / Gardai etc....they're about the only places which would have them outside of the farming community.

Would you look at the state of this mad culchie cunt?

Val's obviously pissed off with Declan using his account over on the gay bar site to spam his gobshite members with fake Val news, so Val's getting his own back by becoming a tour guide himself. In the attached and rather culchie video, watch as he revels in the memories of his childhood holidays in the splendour of Blackrock, Co Louth: the greyest, most overcast, most miserable graveyard of a place. He regales us with tales of The Holy Black Rock Of Ireland, the pennies lost on the slot machines, sharing a bed with his Grannie in the upstairs of a seafront pub that 'duz de bit of accommadayshun' of a B&B.



Val's tours.

Val's Custom Tours.

Val's 'Not Fake Tours' Tours?

Never in the infinite ignorance of the entire universe have I ever come across such a thicko gombeen child. It's un-fucking believable the lengths this clown will go to to try and get your ear. He Declan obviously had a lover's tiff, and Declan decided to ram his point home by using Val's account to mimic Val's daily thicko-isms. Two right specimens of Irish culchies doing what they do best: making arses of themselves.

Poor auld Wolf had to come dragging his arse back into the fray after a two-day flounce, and right now he's after Val as well as Jerry. Poor auld Wolfie's obviously not well in the head. He could use a bit of electro-shock therapy to see if his tiny brains have been fried by his own rage and anger, but I doubt he has a fifty pence coin for the meter. That's if he has any brain at all in the first place. And afterwards he can take a lovely trip to lovely Blackrock-On-Sea in the dreary county of Louth on a tour with Val.

Beaches of brown mucky sand and the smell of chips hanging on the air from early morn til way into the wee hours. That smell you get like slurry when the tide goes miles out and the seaweed and crabs are everywhere. The smell of the local untreated shite-pipe flowing like mead out onto the brown sand, coagulating into piles of dead crabs and dried seaweed for your entertainment. Sticks of rock in the candy shops. Then his microphone claps out and he's still banging on like a demented pensioner. Mullen's chip shop and the cocktail sausages in batter - they go great with the cuppa tay. The windows of The Clermount Hotel and the nice paint job there, wha? Then the Neptune Bar, painted in a girly pink. Then a slot arcade - he walks in and the doors open automatically - and he's back out onto the streets like a shot.

'There's the wall, the famous wall - the Louth Wall. And there you can see the sea off of it, see? Lots of little steps too that you can go down, for a walk or what have you. Yeah. That was it. That was it, as they say. And here's the grave for the young childerren, two lads who died here. Two, yeah. Dead. Both of them. In the water, d'ya see there? the water? And the sand and the little ripples on it, sure yeah - it's EXACTLY how it was. D'ya see? So that's it from Louth. That's it, on this day the eight of October - not any other month, now - but the eight of October - twenty twenty tree..

'..sure I talked me poor Mammy god be good to her into taking off her shoes and going for a walk in the sea water. And sure then I went swimming over there in the outdoor swimming pool, and jaze but I nearly had me life it was so cold, so I had three brandies afterwards to warm up the blood, but whether they worked or not. I. Don't. Know...'


And lots more classic culchie-speak from Ireland's second thickest man.

Hope Declan's pissing himself.
 
Of course Val's channeling THIS guy - who's doing it for the laughs - while Val's taking himself seriously.

Bad enough being born a culchie, but making a lifestyle out of it?

Jaze, now.

Have you been drinking?
 
That's when they have their 'drinking pants' on.

Rest of the time they wear nappies: both around their arse and around their thick skulls.
 
Wouldn't like to be the security man, some of those farmers are big feckers.

The big mad mucky hands on them too?

It's like five thumbs on either paw.

And a tongue hanging out of their gob dripping like a happy Alsatian at Christmas-time.

But if you ever feel physically threatened or wary when in the company of a genuine Irish culchie who's growing the horn for clattering an unwary jackeen the more drunk he gets, then this is a sure-fire way to plot your escape. The more he keeps staring and mumbling 'wha' , haw? Hon-now, wha''' while shuffling around in his wellies, the less time you have so try to shift him over to the jukebox and play him this attached song.

He'll be so swooning with culchie pride and raw emotion and his by now down to his belly-button tongue that you won't even need to run. You can just walk casually away, he'll not notice a fucking thing for three (horribly painful) minutes while he's dribbling all over his suit pants and smiling wistfully off into the middle distance as his hips sway side to side.



I think Cavan would be the perfect filming location for The Hills Have Eyes 3...between the hills themselves and the scary-looking local yokels.

Apparently Ireland's best banjo players are grown out on the bogs of Cavan West.

They dig them up every year around early January, when the sewage pipes are at their limit after 'da bit of de Christmas hollyers'.

* Foster & Allen are not and will not be forgiven at any time while I'm still alive.

Or maybe throw him a raw turnip to munch on? 😅
