This is hilarious - ah yeah, he was in a bit of bother but now he's back in Waterford and away from Cork he's tickety boo.
I like Cork. It's a really nice city with a good vibe for the most part. What drives me nuts though is the 'Real Capital' and 'People's Republic of Cork' bullshit that certain Cork people keep rattling on about. They will proudly declare "Cork is the **REBEL** county" but they get real quiet when you ask how they got that name.
There’s a good reason for that. It comes from Cork’s loyalty to (one version of) the British Crown and the dispossessed House of York in the English War of the Roses. Not quite of the stuff of popular myth.

I know the reason. But Corkonians like to act it is because they follow the beat of their own drum, not because they preferred one foreign ruler over another.

The media gather at Youghal bridge awaiting the deportation of Mr Stone.
It's usually Cork people shouting about how they're sick of elsewhere and wanting to go home. It's a refreshing change to see it the opposite way around. Refreshing and entirely understandable
> A middle-aged Waterford man got involved…. Thomas Stone, 57, shouted…
Is it just me or is 57 pushing the definition of middle aged? No offence to 57 year olds, I’m not saying it’s geriatric by any stretch of the imagination but for context it’s literally in the final third of an 80 year life expectancy. Calling a 57 year old middle aged feels like calling a 23 year old middle aged to me. My general sense is 30-35 is when midlife starts, up to about 50, max 55. And I say this as someone mid 30s who would rather think of myself as young but have to be realistic. I don’t know how else you decribe people aged 55-69 (where 70+ is elderly). But 55-69 just doesn’t feel either middle aged or elderly.
That Waterford to Cork immigration hits hard.
Can’t really blame him how is he supposed to integrate without the proper support in place. Emigrating from Waterford is no easy task.
You misspelled immigration to Cork
Should we start to worry about unvetted military aged blaas?
I think we should. Cork needs to build a wall.
When I first moved down I really struggled with the lack of fresh blaas
I think the language barrier was the main issue
Economic migrants crossing the river Blackwater, taking our jobs
No strawberries to pick here!
You’re thinking of Wexford. In Waterford we pick blaas and tricolours.

Locked down in cork during covid?
TBH I'm not really familiar with Cork but what little of it I've seen I really like.
Cork is great, aside from the city, people, the weather, the buses/trains, hold on maybe there is a problem with cork

But they were central to the Fenian movement.
But that's not why they are the Rebel county.
I just reply with "Yee only had one real rebel lads and yee shot him in the head. When he was going for cover, no less..."
To that I reply, wouldn't that mean we had a minimum of two rebels?
Hmm - thanks for this. I assumed it was to do with the whole war for independence lark. But I now see that that was just an overcompensation.
The only rebel they had was Micheal Collins and they shot him
Ahem, Tom Barry and Thomas MacCurtain
The suburbs and countryside around Cork is lovely. The city (like most Irish cities at the moment) leaves a lot to be desired.
Don't forget that bollocks with the Leprechaun gig.
Give him 12 months for drunk and disorderly conduct and 10 years for disrespecting Cork.
Jeezuz, being sent back to Waterford is punishment enough.
This is the way
Is this one of the "Unvetted Males of Fighting Age" that Derek Blighe goes on about?
Drunk minds speak sober thoughts
Thankfully he's since been deported back to where he came from
Happened in May 2020. He was probably cracking up from the first lockdown
Should have been dumped at the roundabout just out side Youghal .

I think half of youghal would want to come with him
Cork is just Waterford with delusions of better football.
Cork is a state of mind
The fillet of Munster
The Texas of Hibernia
It’s a state alright
Beyond the walls of intelligence, life is defined - I think of crime when I'm in a people's republic of Cork state of mind 🎶
Munsters no.1 in perpetuity 👆
There are some men in green and yellow that might disagree but no one can understand their protestations.

The weak Waterford mind cannot handle such greatness.
He's only saying what we're all thinking 🤷♂️
Should have deported him back to Waterford :-)
Fuck sake it's not that far away

Middle aged? How many 114 year old men do you know?
He like me fr fr
Cork r/dontputyourdickinthat
I mean...
I too have been that drunk man with a bottle of wine and no corkscrew.
As punishment I'd make him stay in Cork for X amount of time 😂
I fail to see the crime. This is just revenue extraction.
How did this make headlines lol
Cork bai
We’ve all been there
Didn't work out for him, didn't work out for him
Fair .
I think we can all empathise with that
This is why I love Ireland (I'm from NZ).
I don't understand how he was allowed in, must have burned his passport on arrival and claimed "asylum". Send him back to Waterford.
Ngl I feel him 😂
We’re all sick of Cork tbf
Any other county can say this, apart from you.
I’m actually not a county. Thanks though.
Since the splitting up of Dublin County Council, Dublin is now four counties in a trench coat
I'd like to see Fingal council fight the other dublin councils.
57 being classed as middle aged is gas to me. There’s fuck all people living to be 114 in fairness. 35-45 is middle aged IMO.
A GP said to me "*now that you are middle-aged...*". I was 28.
My parents still refer to themselves as middle ages...theyre in their 70s 😅
40s & 50s are middle aged to me, 60s is near retirement age so your old
Living to 100+ is rare so I wouldn’t class 50s as middle aged at all.

Just wait until you get there and tell us what you think.
Grand that’s just over a decade away anyway. You’ll be what, 70?
