I got 69%, what are other non-natives getting?

[drinkfeckarse]

88% which is pretty poor. In my defence I've never looked at a map in the 12 years since I've been away.

[Magicme]

I was on for 100% but someone came into the office so was distracted talkin to them and clicked Carlow for Offaly. Doh!

[passinginterest]

A shameful 80%

[drinkfeckarse]

Took me about 5 attempts to get 100%. Proof that I have lost the ability to learn.

[CollegeTillIDie]

100% .... Honours Geography and travelling the country watching football teams and having to navigate and read maps on behalf of the driver never lets you down. First attempt.

[paul_oshea]

i didnt realise it was time based.

got down and antrim mixed up, i still think that down was on top ( that was a ryhme!!!! ) always thought that since school.

None of the above wolly from CTID, never did geog for leaving. Just naturally smart, in fairness for anyone living in the country or born and spent primary school should be getting very close to 100%

[paul_oshea]

ya i bet you werent even able get roscommon!!!! well maybe now since ye moved to gailimh

[dahamsta]

81%, and that's with the better-travelled gf standing beside me. Must try harder.

[Green Tribe]

ya i bet you werent even able get roscommon!!!! well maybe now since ye moved to gailimh

haven't tried game yet, will do when the chief leaves the office :D

Just done it, got 100%, but that's probably because women are always better at reading the map!
It's the wee itty-bitty counties that you struggle with e.g Laois, Carlow etc :eek:

[Bluebeard]

100% first time out in a minute (didn't realise the time thing until after). that said, I have been in all of them at this stage a few times over and hitchhiked through all but about four of them.

[biscuit]

98% cause of a misclick...:mad:

[Sheridan]

Surprisingly got 91%, considering I don't know anything (or care) about those pointless little counties in the midlands. Looking at the map just reinforces my belief that they should be evacuated and turned into a settlement/concentration camp for all the culchies in Dublin.

As opposed to now when they are a concentration camp for those jackeens with notions?

[Ceirtlis]

95%.Got some of the northern places wrong.

[Lim till i die]

100% in one minute and two seconds

It's the away travel guys :cool:

Although in fairness Roscommon and Leitrim were sheer guesswork :p

[dcfcsteve]

I got one wrong - Longford ! I clicked on Westmeath instead..... :(

[DaveyCakes]

100% in 57 seconds

[superfrank]

100% in 41.03 seconds. That's what a C1 in Higher Level does for you.

I nearly messed up on the first one though. I couldn't remember which was Laois and which was Offaly.

[ollie]

100% in 34 seconds. All those days doing the ireland map jigsaw when i was a kid finally pays off

[Dunny]

100% in 59secs

[dahamsta]

People in Laois and Offaly can't remember which is one Laois and which one is Offaly.

[sligoman]

89%:o. Dam Northern counties:mad:

[endabob1]

97% mixing up Tyrone & Fermanagh.....

Damastha, Offaly is the uniquely shapped county like a sideways L in the middle, or Gods country as us Biffo's like to call it :)

[paul_oshea]

what are you doing with a boys name ye Beautiful Intelligent Female From Offaly?!? :D

[Green Tribe]

89%:o. Dam Northern counties:mad:

that's shameful silageman, you're only down the (rather bumpy mad border) road from those beautiful northern counties :p

[Bluebeard]

Don't worry, Superfrank - the midlands are all the one.

I am currently working on a new plan to turn the midlands into one giant reservoir / water amenity. The test run we had last Summer was very popular. I just need financial backing.

Pros:
Vast lake-like area for watersports
The possibiliy at last of a good spot for our rowing teams to get good practice
Plenty of water available to the big cities which should never run out
Won't take long to fill, as it is almost halfway there already
The end of Longford Town FC
Somewhere new to go for a Sunday afternoon drive
End to flat midland accents
Brian Cowen deprived of a constituency that would vote for him

Cons:
Journey time by car or train between major costal cities is increased
The possibility of a Deliverance style occurence during the last days before the flooding of the area

You know it makes sense

[atfconline]

98%, bloody North let me down.

[stann]

100% in 38.6 though I got a good run with a few potential either/ors not appearing until the end.
Still, for shame anyone who didn't get them all right. :D

[sligoman]

bloody North let me down.The North lets the whole country down really;)

[osarusan]

80%. And proud of it!

[Burny89]

98%, bloody North let me down.

the North didn't let anybody down, you let yourself down;)

Quick question did the map at school not include the Northern Counties?

[dahamsta]

Not in the catholic schools, no. ;)

[Green Tribe]

the North didn't let anybody down, you let yourself down;)

Obviously the education system in the south ain't up to scratch if they can't place 6 famous counties! :D

[Monkfish]

[Schumi]

[paul_oshea]

Piffle...If you want to know what stalker style really is then just start chatting to me and will soon show you.

Someone told me today that the term stalking means you dont actually know there is a person stalking you and thats proper stalking, is this correct?? i didnt really follow what he was saying....

[jmurphyc]

98%. didn't notice what timeframe i did it in. Put Antrim in Armagh. And I didn't even go to secondary school here, so i guess i can be classed as a bit of a non-native.
