GAA County Nicknames:
Cork: “The Rebels”
Also known as The Leesiders (a reference to the River Lee), Cork’s GAA team nickname can be traced all the way back to the Tudor uprisings and the city’s support of Perkin Warbeck, a pretender to the English throne, in 1491.
Cork’s appetite for rebellion (and its consequent nickname, The Rebel County) was further cemented over the ensuing centuries, culminating in their intense struggle against British rule during the War of Independence.
Groaner of the Week:
A man walks into a bar and says, "Give me a beer before the problems start!" He drinks the beer and then orders another saying, "Give me a beer before the problems start!"

The man answers, "Now the problems start!"
