Ireland.

[HEIRESS]

I could survive here off of bacon and bulmer's along.

(y)

[ericlee]

man, I really have an urge to try some hagas.

[Echewta]

Thats across the pond eric, where the Scots live.

Does it stink Heiress? Like Irish?

[ericlee]

eh, I believe I spelt it wrong. I guess my urge for it isn't that strong..

[Gareth]

if bulmers = magners then yep i agree

[roosta]

Make sure you try some Tayto Cheese-n-Onion crisps.

Oh, and red lemonade.

[ms.peachy]

My favourite thing to eat in Ireland was the wheaten bread with nice butter.

I really want some now :(

[DeeJayZap]

smokey bacon's better.

[ms.peachy]

Oh yeah, that smoky bacon lemonade is AMAZING.

[paul jones]

I went to make a snadwich last night but there was no ham left so I nearly had bacon but that would have been too much hassle and I was in the middle of Naked Gun 2 and a half so I just had 2 bits of bread with HP sauce

[ScarySquirrel]

After reading Angela's Ashes I'm not sure I ever want to go to Ireland. I mean, it sounds super depressing.

You have no idea.

[Randetica]

i would move there anytime cause i love the green and bono

[ScarySquirrel]

You have no idea.
Honestly, no, I don't. Just what I read from an autobiography that takes place some 30 years ago. Things must've gotten a little bit better since then though, I imagine.

Still, if I was the Ireland tourist board I'd be pissed at ol' Frank McCourt. He makes it sound like a endless pit of despair where everybody's poor as hell, struggling to eat, and nobody can find any jobs.

[ms.peachy]

Given that Frank McCourt is 78, I think you're talking more like 60 years ago.

It has improved slightly; in some places they even have indoor plumbing now.

[TAL]

My favorite thing to eat in Ireland would be jammytastic.

did you really just go there?



roosta - debbie downer much?

[voltanapricot]

No country that is home to red lemonade, Taytos and GALTEE CHEESE could be super depressing. I've been there a fair bit and it's always a good craic. DON'T GO BY THAT BOOK!

[Freebasser]

"Dougal, have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again?"

"Yeah I have, Ted, ya big gobshite"

[roosta]

Basically it would be like saying a book written in America in the 1930s in the dust bowl during the Depression would put you off visiting the USA.....

Until a recent dip where we're actually in recession now, Ireland had one of the world's strongest economys per capita for the best part of a decade. We have come leaps and bounds since the conditions of Angela's Ashes. We are modern, vibrant country!

oh...i was being ironical....

[ScarySquirrel]

Now I just want some Lucky Charms (http://www.luckycharms.millsberry.com/).

[funk63]

Is it hard to understand people there?

[na§tee]

airesse is a girl after my own heart.

i didn't get this fat ass drinking gin and slimline tonics and eating muesli, ya know. magners and bacon with BROWN SAUCE! gimme! p.s. i make a better bacon sandwich than freebasser.. true fact. we all know this.

if i knew you were in ireland and i was in scotland i would have totally popped over to see yah like.

[rirv]

I read James Joyce's Dubliners. That was depressing.

On the other hand I went on a free trip to Galway two years ago for a rowing race (Mahe Drysdale was in my crew - a few Kiwis might have heard of him) and it was the best lash in the world.

[100% ILL]

I saw a movie starring James Caan called My Father, which was set in Ireland.
It was actually pretty good. (y)

[BangkokB]

OK~ So how many fights have you been into so far? And what over?

If not then this what you should do
Shake things up and say that you're sick of this Guinness swag beer: You want a real Beer~ You only drink the Best: An American Beer by the name of Budweiser. That should get the natives restless.

Another good one is Ireland: Isn't the UK pulling the strings on that ride? Shouldn't it be called UK Jr. or Ire-K...And what's Scotland all about?

I'm your wingman if you need any tips on how to piss people of any race, creed, color or nation off. If you're bored and want to stir the pot, I'm your Go To Guy. Keep that in mind. I'm there for you Heiress and hope you have a helluva time

[HEIRESS]

hah! nope, no fights.

I was only in Galway (odd coin. rirv!) and a very small place called lough rea for a few days for work.

I didnt even get to see much of anything since I was getting business done during the day.

me and bacon and bulmers had a few goods night out though.

oh oh! i had the wheaten bread. I was at a table with like 3 men and they watched me devour almost a whole basket of it. I think I frightened them.
is it just me or is irish butter the tastiest ever produced?

this red lemonade and I did not cross paths alas. no worries, ill probably be sent back sometime in the future.
I justed wiki'd it and it also mentioned "brown lemonade"
wtf?

If someone was talking directly to me I had no trouble understanding them. but if one of their work mates came by and they chatted between themselves then I was all "ehhh???"
same in Manchester. jesus that northern accent is a tough one to decipher at times.

"If the IRA was in on this, not a scorched stone of your fine house would be left standing."

[russhie]

I recently pashed a couple of Irish boys.

They seem to be more considerate than Aussie boys. Better kissers.

Yeah, I'd go to Ireland.

[funk63]

So do they speak mostly english there or... do they even still use that gaelic stuff?
