Are people from Ireland generally like Marc?

[Basically]

Generally speaking, do guys and or girls around Marc's age from Ireland behave as Marc does, as in, with the 'banter' and such? I find Marc absolutely hilarious by the way from the minute he told Chloe big brother probably wanted to check her for std's :hehe: :joker: :joker:

[Niamh.]

No absolutely not, he'd get a punch in the face if he spoke to me like he does with some of the girls in there

[Josy]

No absolutely not, he'd get a punch in the face if he spoke to me like he does with some of the girls in there

:joker:

[Iceman]

Nope. But he has a group of friends that are similar to him but not as cocky.

[Pete.]

[Calderyon]

I would say no, even though i don´t know any Irish people. Apart from Niamh here.

We can but hope :love:

[just thinkin]

absolutely not - Ireland is getting a bad name with these two 'tic' Dubs in there. Everytime I see them I thank my lucky stars I live in the real capital of Ireland. :dance:

Oh are you from Cork?

[Rob4]

Yes they are, all idiots and/or terrorists, love potatoes and their mammies, plus they all ride horses everywhere, all drink guiness and say "whats the craic" every five minutes.

:hehe::hehe::hehe:

the man in red on my post should give you the answer niamh.

[crazycolaist]

Its the Irish 'Jackthelad' sterotype, It's a silly minority thing.

[Niamh.]

I'm from Cork too :love:

[jaxie]

Of course they aren't just like everyone in Londob n or Edinburgh aren't the same. People aren't clones, we're all individuals.

Haha I'm actually not. I love my county. I love how our national sports final is always played here regardless of if we are in the final or not. Or all the gigs. Or the beautiful parks/attractions. Or the men.

But nah seriously I like Cork.

cork is the real capital, we all know that - and our accents.....music to the ears compared to that hard sound outta the dubs . :cheer2:

[Iceman]

Lol at you even starting about accents.

[sampvt]

No absolutely not, he'd get a punch in the face if he spoke to me like he does with some of the girls in there

So what you are saying is that girls from your neck of the woods beat men up and engage in fist fights. Im glad I married a nice quiet English girl then. Hardly an endicment of the nice Irish colleen is it.

[Niamh.]

Been there loads of times, only a couple of hours from my house but their dogs are not a patch on the Dublin dogs (racing greyhounds I mean) my passion.

Oh I thought it was the North you're from?

[Rorkimaru]

Cork is grand for a visit but it's hardly a capital. Strip away the pubs and it's just 2 streets, a college and an island.

And Marc is not typical of irish or dublin people. There are people in dublin that are a watered down version of him but remember Marc is a reality tv guy. His personality is concentrated for entertainment and shock value. Irish people will entertain in the same way Marc does when he's being good without sinking into the extremes he goes to when he's crossing the line.

My mate Dr Dick Power would have to say er no

:joker::joker::joker::joker:

well, at least there's a bit of a rebel instinct in cork....

[Rorkimaru]

Yeah, but what is the rebel capital actually rebelling against ;p

[JoshBB]

Are you seriously asking whether or not one nasty individual is representative of all of Ireland? :laugh:

[just thinkin]

you'd have to ask the jackeeeens that....:cheer2:

Sure amen't I only one myself and I haven't a breeze what the eventual rebellion will entail. Also I was looking for a smiley that fit and couldn't help myself #SorryNotSorry :pat:

most daily mail readers think that Rab C Nesbit is what all scottish people are

[Daniel-X]

Wow. Can't believe how narrow minded the OP is. I like Marc but of course they're not all like him! Some of my family are actually from Talla in Dublin (Where Marc comes from) and they are nothing like him. They are actually just very down to earth and normal actually sometimes a bit quiet.

It's like asking are all women from Holland Lesbians because Adjoa was.

[joeysteele]

No, not from the family and friends I have in Ireland.

[Ramsay]

Yes everyone of us looks and acts just like him. you got a problem m8?

[Visage]

I'd struggle to believe that someone's personality is based on where they live.

[Daniel-X]

Adjoa was from Holland?

Yeah she was Dutch so she's from Holland or The Netherlands as some people call it.

I'm not asking this from thin air, I heard Jade before say something like 'oh there's that Irish banter that I love' when Marc first arrived, is why I asked

Well he's obviously a lot more Irish than the other housemates and yes a lot of what he says is typical of Irish lads but they don't go that far. Like chances are two dubs are going to have more in common.

[Angelika]

There are idiots like Marc in every country around the planet. It's not typical of any one national trait - it's unfortunately part of mankind as a species trait, that is the worst mankind has to offer kind.

[billy123]

Yes they are all like that. In ireland they dont even have money they just collect scrap metal and use it to trade withn and its compulsory to have a whippet on the end of a piece of string when out in public.

How could you find that hilarious? Marc had only just come into the house and that was the second or third sexual reference he had made to Chloe. No we irish are not like him.He is vile disgusting and horrible. Yes we have banter but he is in no way reflective of our society. I don't like him he makes me sick and I hope that other people don't this he IS REFLECTIVE of Irish people

[rionablue]

I'm from Cork too :love:

..to be fair to the OP, Marc kind of 'promotes' this himself or did in the DR with...'I'm a typical Irish eejit' tobegorra, tobegorra...so maybe has referred to his nationality other times we haven't seen as something he thinks 'adds to his charm'..?..or excuses things or whatever because of course we know that every Irish person in the land has kissed the Blarney Stone, t'is a well known fact...anyway, he's not a 'typical' anything...BB don't do typical in characters because where would be the ratings..they do or try to do more extremes of personalities or personalities they think will conflict, regardless of nationality....


EDIT:..anyway if he was typically Irish then as Niamh said, she would have wiped out a huge part of the population of her country by now and they seem to be doing ok and not decreasing too much in number...

[iToby]

absolutely not - Ireland is getting a bad name with these two 'tic' Dubs in there. Everytime I see them I thank my lucky stars I live in the real capital of Ireland. :dance:

AAAAAHHHHH, You're from LIVERPOOL then?:spin: or Rathkeale?



Up The Rebel County. Love Cork meself. Super Fenian??? Please tell me MoJos is still there on Georges Quay? Love that bar too.in fact I better stop or I'll be here all mornin. Slan abhaile

[iToby]

Yes they are, all idiots and/or terrorists, love potatoes and their mammies, plus they all ride horses everywhere, all drink guiness and say "whats the craic" every five minutes.

You sound like a knowledgable teen..Well placed I'd say to confirm if all english people are like peter sutcliffe?:sleep:

[iToby]

:joker::joker::joker::joker:

well, at least there's a bit of a rebel instinct in cork....

and none in Dubl;in....oh wait, what does that Sinn Fein Dublin GAA Jersey say on the back...errrrm....DUBLIN> The city that fought an empire...Although it failed on the weekend, the easter rising led to this half a rebublic we now enjoy...but I'll give Cork its due, it didn't get the title 'Rebel County' in a lucky bag.

I must learn to read all the posts n put my quotes n responses in one post instead of a string of them...SORRY:nono:

I was actually being sardonic with the OP, but whatever.

I believe her first words were ' Oh no, I know him, he's an ar*ehole' in fact, I'm sure of it. You can see they hate, nay, despise each other but in their own heads have recently decided to play the game...mayhap there's even a bit o that dreaded sexual tension everyone in the studio keeps talking about....again, sorry for adding to the string...maybe I shoulda went back to bed first, let a few posts pile up afore responding...ok gonna hold my index 'tongue' for a bit
:blush:

Fair 'nuff guv, point taken.

I think we out number the Dubs on here now you know :smug:

[Livia]

I imagine if our Niamh came up against Marc and he tried that "banter" of his on her I like to think he'd end up in casualty trying to explain to the doctors how Niamh's shoe got jammed up his arse.
