    90% of the people in Galway are doing a film course. Mayo is full of random sprawling houses in the middle of nowhere and unexpectedly Castlebar. The man speaks the truth.

    Castlebar is getting very cosmopolitan it has an Italian spot run by Czechs ( I can't spell Czechoslavak ) It also produced P Flynn , granted there was some unfortunate accidents with the bio engineering but his ego was grand . On the other hand Ballina is uncomfortably close to Sligo . I'll conclude by finishing here.

    Mayo comes from Irish -- Mayo and Mayonnaise have no etymological link, and personally i feel like making the mayo joke is the same as mocking an Aussie place name because it sounds silly in English. It isn't, of course, *supposed* to be in English; colonialism caused it's anglicisation.

    Mayo, serial losers and seekers of sympathy when they do lose. The mantra of "all the neutrals support us" is annoying and hasn't helped them win. How about just counting on your own massive fanatical support without trying to claim everyone else's as well. Playing the sympathy card only reinforces the "poor us" stereotype which, I think, adds to your inability to cross the finish line. Only 3 All Irelands in 140 years for a big county with a fairly large population. Your neighbours Roscommon have one of the lowest populations in the country yet they've managed two All Irelands.
