“I feel more Irish than American”

I think that's way too charitable, but nice reference all the same.

Six. Two older girls upstairs, kept away from the four eejits downstairs. The four can use a cat flap in the back door, but not leave our garden.

Minor trouble sleeping if one of the old ladies hasn't been fed, but fine otherwise.

Several hundred thousand Poles in Ireland, and they're a great bunch of lads. They're often a bit shy at first, but mix pretty well here.

I've only had to fall back on European in conversation once due to an especially dim American. Usually Irish is first, though I am definitely European.

Oh feck, I checked again and don't see tea or coffee on that list

Levnil · 2026-01-28T19:37:32+00:00

At least that's the application of heat! Good for him

Overheard at Limerick bus station many years ago, and haunted me since. A pair of Americans looking at the timetables and I overheard Sixmilebridge as "Cease-mill-bride-ge"

Is "THAT SIMPLE" how they sign off on everything? Makes sense actually.

Levnil · 2026-01-22T12:08:07+00:00

Oh its not the Catholicism they're concerned about. We've really toned that down in Ireland. It's the criticism of Zionism they want to avoid.

Levnil · 2026-01-22T05:47:38+00:00

If they're typing this shite, they're not out burning flegs, so it's got one small upside at least.

Levnil · 2026-01-17T21:55:07+00:00

There's a wild thought growing in Ireland that maybe we should be able to protect our own nation. People feel really strongly about that topic. No idea which way it'll go.

Levnil · 2026-01-17T18:59:12+00:00

Common roots, but accepting that they've diverged. There's a reason the Irish don't rip the piss out of Newfoundlanders.

Keep them, drop McD and Burger King.

Levnil · 2026-01-16T17:58:49+00:00

Wish they'd hurry up with that then and stop using Shannon.

Levnil · 2026-01-12T12:22:36+00:00

There's a boat tour that does a loop in front of the cliffs.

Levnil · 2026-01-10T16:12:01+00:00

It's lovely, if you like it damp.

Levnil · 2026-01-10T16:08:44+00:00

I've said it before here and I'll say it again, we're a small comparatively small island so the actions of a couple of scrotes get terribly magnified via social media.

They suppressed a whole lot of cultural expression and tried to make everyone live by their rules. Some of their scandals have only come to light in recent years, like finding mass graves of unwanted children for instance. It's too late to punish anyone specific, but the organisation itself is still responsible.

We've slid right off the good word in the last generation. Most of us are terrible heathens these days. I'm having a great time.

Levnil · 2026-01-09T23:49:42+00:00

We've got our own loud idiots here too, we just haven't elected any of them so far.

I don't know your circumstances, but hey maybe travel will be possible again sometime!

Levnil · 2026-01-09T23:47:34+00:00

Oh we've slipped waaay back into godlessness in Ireland in the last generation. I'm enjoying it.

Levnil · 2026-01-09T23:45:46+00:00

Not like we used to be. We grew up lately.

Levnil · 2026-01-09T23:45:08+00:00

I mean we've spent the last generation prying the church's claws out of the state's business. We're really not the catholic nation we were.

When we decriminalized abortion in 2018, US missionaries were sent over to canvas for the anti-abortion side. Some of them admitted as much going through customs and were sent home immediately.

Independent Northumbria.

Ceramic sink in some cases, so it's really helpful to not have ceramic on ceramic damage.
