that rat burger we bought at 1 in the morning was cooked the day before and even in my state of inebriation, I couldn't put it in my mouth a second time and got a real shock the next day ;)

What is it about Brayjing? Are there a lot of people from Beijing in Bray? Or is there some other reason?

I think it's just a play on words and a joke about Bray being a kip.

Ciderhead

Says the man from... :P

We have known for thousands of years that Chinese people are very intelligent and wise and culturally are light years ahead of the rest of the world.

In their wisdom a disproportionate number have chosen, quite rightly and for obvious reasons, Bray as their home, who could blame them!

There are racists out there including Ross who accordingly in ignorance have named the town Brayjing.

The Chinese community have a better work ethic and family unit than any of the rest of us and their ability to speak Irish is to be commended but whats with all the green hogging throat clearing and spitting on the street, even the girls!  Jesus..

I can understand the frustration with this. Being from Limerick and having to put up with all the shite about stab City.  Reminds me of the quote "knife for show knife for pro. ". Somebody at work (from the north side) I know mentioned that Bray is also known as "Brayruit"

Dare I say the reference to "Brayruit" was an indirect reference to it being rough/dangerous rather than references to minorities.
