The Vikings

[MerchantOfEnnis]

Why are these lads glamorised?

They went around Europe raping and pillaging, and generally being a nuisance and wreaking havoc wherever they went.

But people think they were a great bunch of lads. Waterford bases its whole tourism industry on the fuckers.

The Vikings founded Ireland's first major cities, revolutionized international trade, and transformed seafaring technology. They played a critical role in shaping the economic and cultural landscape of the country, leaving a lasting impact on language, navigation, and urban development.
Thats just in Ireland like.

I worked with someone from Waterford and I happened to be sitting on on her mandatory onboarding of some new developers.

Pure a Waterford wan she was. Going on about the Blaa. Describing the Blaa. How they are all mad for the Blaa in Waterford.

Isn't that right Siggy. We're all mad for the Blaa down here right?

I did respond

Got an email later from the head of HR reminding me of the companies inclusivity policy.

It is not appropriate to question the mental health of any County in front of colleagues.

MM needs to raise the issue of getting the Danish Prime Minister to apologise for the Viking plunder of buildings and rape of our women.
If the apology is not forthcoming the Social Demo Rats will put it in their conditions for a coalition with FF after the next election.

There will be great craic in the pubs in Skibberen when Holly announces her position on the Viking reign of terror on the irish people. She will liken it to the Cromwell era.
A local said that Tim Looneys young fellows wan is never short of fresh ideas. We need to keep her up there lads.
