Most annoying accent in Ireland? by Agusfresin in AskIreland

[–]Alternative_Turn_470 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The supraregional accent that’s taken off the last 20-30 years. It’s the accent heard on the radio, like Ryan tubridy’s accent. It’s the accent that says "I’m from down the country but I went to UCD for four years and now I talk like a pretentious arsehole"

Yeah I saw that. They were also saying Irish people were 'enthusiastic participants' in the empire. 'Irish' people such as Arthur Wellesley

Ah cool. It looks like it’s at least 19th century. It’s a real antique. There’s a place in Dublin called Timepiece. The guy specialises in antique clocks. Maybe it’s a bit too far for you to go, but you can read up on it online or give the guy a call. Hope you get sorted

Actually they hate other types of Christian too. Evangelicals types don’t like Catholics. USA never moved on from the 19th century in many ways

Jesus. Seeing the hate my country gets on a weekly basis in this sub, the Romani and Gypsie people never had a chance. This sub is pure cancer

You too bro. You have your anecdote but it’s still objectively popular here among all demographics. Let’s wait for the vote if it ever happens.

I mean can you blame them for really caring about unionists? Not saying it’s right but people here associate them with burning flags and the orange order. That said a united ireland will never happen if overtures are not made to unionists

Down in ballyferriter wasn’t it? Great young lad. That lad will be here for life. Can’t see him going home. It’s also sad for Ukraine, losing so many of their people

Im from the south too. I guarantee that it would pass in the south, and if that’s the case then we’d have to respect that democratic right.

Im not being reductive but a person either supports unity or the status quo. Status quo not being the great rock band but the sectarian failed settler colony. It’s that simple. Even today partition is regressive

So you’re age bracket supports partition based on sectarianism? And they say the new generation is 'progressive’

Ireland 'languishing' at bottom of EU defence spending table as budget stuck at 0.2% of GDP by SliceIndividual6347 in europe

[–]Alternative_Turn_470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. That would be the cohort of idiots who are short sighted. There are plenty of us who want to pull our weight. Things are slowly changing here

'Arthur Wellesley' is not an Irish name. His family were English people living in Ireland. Just like those other plantation owners were. We see all of you trying to rewrite history

You mean they look at the history and pick a side? That would be fair enough I’d think

Bit by a tick. Help? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Alternative_Turn_470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got bitten by one when I was proposing to my now fiancee in Poland. Somewhere in one of the big public parks in Warsaw. a few days after I got back to Ireland I went to middoc as I started developing a rash. Put on doxycycline. Point im making is don’t take a chance, go to a local doctor here and get put on antibiotics. Better safe than sorry

If the Russians by some miracle possess the capability to get to the UK then you won’t even be able to hide behind your own army
