I think it was a bit longer! I was still reading here occasionally and happy enough to have given up, but I spotted a few ****s having a dig in my absence and, well, you know yourself.
It is still a useful diversion on days like today. Fair play to Terry for obliging.

Behave yourself PM, no need for that reply. Keep it civil.

And why are you typing like that? Is that supposed to be a slur on the way people from the south speak? Is that your attempt at a retort? I  say retort,  I don't know what has annoyed you at all, other than that I mentioned you're a Nordie. Maybe it would be easier to ignore if you didn't keep bringing it up or acting like  William Ulsterman!

P.S As previously said, it doesn't bother me what you call it; by it I mean the 26 county state. It is just a bit hypocritical(again!) to be complaining about being called a 'Nordie', or that it was brought up, while assuming you can upset me or that I "wouldn't like" a term of description for a state being used. In doing so, you are prescribing to me opinions based on where I am from. 
I'm not "annoyed" at being called a Nordie, or complaining about it, so I'm not. I mean, I've been called a lot worse, so I have.

But my original question remains unanswered, so it does, namely why you even thought to bring up the fact of my being a Nordie in the first place? I mean, would you have thought to mention the background of the poster had he/she been from some other part of Ireland, or from England, or from  further afield? 

As I say, it marks you out as maybe not being that much separated from some of the more rabid posters who the minute they see my user name, pretty much stop reading what I've written, and instead see something else entirely which conforms to their stereotyped image of me as Hun/Orange/Bigot/Prod/DUP etc and reply accordingly. So they do.


Anyhow, your above effort was hardly any better than previous ones, so I'm afraid it's another 2/10, so it is.
I have answered it. I'll do so again and simply: if a person had made abundantly clear they were from a place and used a word or phrase that immediately thought of that place, especially if I felt the post had been poorly written, then  yes, I would have brought it up. Words I would consider off the top of my head, as well as the areas whose pronunciation would have led to such a reaction (although many probably wouldn't be used as one word asides, making it more difficult to pull out)

Cork City: tambourine
West Cork: Shhhtop it, will ooo(phonetically spelt)
Wexfordian(?):Quarin'
Dublin: too many and have before
Scottish: Defanitely (spelt phonetically), bawbag(spelt phonetically), ask Tones
Cardiffian: Cardiff; toothbrush
Nordie: sheesh; sausage McMuffin
Dutch: I am sure poor Shteve has had his name derided
Geordie/NE England; why aye( Ask DM, etc)
Etc. 
I also never mentioned your background. I have never assumed your background, other than to imply that you may come here to look to be offended, which this little diversion tends to confirm. All I assumed was you have a 'Nordie' accent, that is the accent of nearly everyone north of Cavan, regardless of passports, borders and cultures.


P.S Well done on avoiding where I pulled your preconceived ideals up.

P.PS. Thanks for the diversion today.

Er, because it's Irish and a Republic? 
When I was growing up, it was routinely referred to as "The Free State" - by "both sides of the house", and (I think) on both sides of the border. But I guess you wouldn't like that, either.
Anyhow, in future I shall use "ROI" - quickest, easiest and conforming with the title of your football team. 
Unless you do give a f**k about that.
Though I'll probably still use it anyhow, so I will. LOL

Ah, now, you're being disingenuous, so you are.
You see, the term "Nordie" isn't in itself gratuitous, so it's not.
Rather my point was that as with previous instances, your use of the term in that context was, so it was.
I mean, my original point was about an article on the Premier League etc, so it was. The fact that I'm a Nordie had nothing whatsoever to do with my point, so it didn't, yet you chose to bring it into the conversation, so you did, entirely unnecessarily, so it was.

In saying that, I don't think I will ever be dying to use 'Nordie' at all, but I may want to use 'Nordie', or maybe not. Maybe I will never use 'Nordie' again. Apart from that 'Nordie'. And that 'Nordie'.

I better stop now, as I am getting 'sausage McMuffin' stuck in my head due to a conversation with a fella once in Donegal. That's another term I associate with 'Nordies'. Drat! I have used 'Nordie' again. And again!
'Sheesh'!
Overcompensating. I'd have expected something rather subtler, so I would.

2/10 again.
