Where's Tayto (Part 2) - Shannon Airport
Mr. Tayto
Last time out, I escaped Cork City Gaol and shortly afterwards I boarded a Ryanair flight to Shannon. I landed safely last night and I've been suitably informed that my suitcase (packed with Taytos of course) will be forwarded to me within the next two weeks. Thank you Ryanair!
So in this edition of "Where's Tayto?", we will explore the eRepublik region of Shannon and its capital Limerick City (the European City of Culture 2014).
Sporting Achievments:
There's only one sport in Limerick City and thats rugby. There's Shannon Rugby FC, and a small Rugby team that have won the Heineken Cup twice and they once beat some lads in black jerseys from New Zealand.
I was at a recent match in Thomand Park, can you find me:
Linguistic Facts:
The weather in Limerick comes in 3 forms; cold, wet and very wet. Sometimes you can even get a combination of the three. If its cold, the locals like to claim that its "Baltic", which just goes to prove how bad they are at Geography.
The local cuisine is second to none, with the dish of choice called "Hang Sangwiches", which is an interesting combination of bread and ham.
The Anthems:
Limerick You're a Lady...
A song which clearly outlines why Limerick is a bit girlie.
I've a horse ourside...
This song really captures what it is to be from Limerick.
Low lie the fields of Athenry
My own personal favourite song from this eRepublik region.
Landmark to See:
Lots to see in Shannon but the most remarkable thing is that it has an airport. Besides the odd Ryanair flight, most of the flights that land here are American Air Force, which goes down a treat with the locals.
See if you can find me hanging out at Shannon Airport:
Join me next week, when I get the bus to Mayo!

When do you come Dublin?
Planned route is Cork ==> Shannon ==> Mayo ==> Louth ==> Dublin ==> Wexford
You don't go Leitrim?
Good choice.
Only going to regions of eIreland... Leitrim isnt even a region of RL Ireland to be honest with you 😉
Don't skip Wicklow pls
Ask admin to get it added as a Region! All that Wicklow has is a mountain anyways! 😛
What about Donegal? you have to come to Donegal and taste the wonderful "Golden Wonder" crisps we get here..lol
😮 Horrified!!!
Actually I just found out that Tayto own "Golden Wonder"
HA! In yo face:

Voted.
If I'm not at home in County Cork, Limerick is a most lovely place to visit.
If anyone wants to know what led to Tayto ending up in the Cork City Gaol, this might help you out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u56R_qHTLVI
Said to say... I know the words to this song!

It's a mad anthem, isn't it?
Least "Rugby" song ever!
Granted, the Fields of Athenry aint much of a Rugger song either!

I was at this match v Glasgow. Cold beer and hypothermia.
More US uniformed troops in Shannon than is healthy for a civilian airport famous for rendition flights :/
Plus, they buy up all the Tayto at the airport bar, the camo-feckers.
Limerick is actually only Irish City of Culture, also known as Stab City

Is Limerick Your a Lady sung to the same tune as Dude Looks Like a Lady by Aerosmith?
If only!
