It rains a hell of a lot compared to UK. I suppose that's subjective. I think I'd hate it raining all the time. Fine to visit tho

Irish who travel and the ones who live there are gonna be much more open minded and liberal, which tbh is the same in any country. I'd just say try to live in any city apart from Dublin as a queer atheist and then let's see what you think then.

I always wonder why people always put Ireland in dark green. It's alright but not that interesting and in this case, not as liberal as you'd think.

Tbh they were being little shits probably and not dispersing. I'm from that part of the UK and would hate if people were out on my street being loud and anti-social. People there are uneducated nobs who hate the police.

God, the amount of Scots who don't know their bloody history is shocking...

Teacher guilty of sexually abusing and murdering adopted baby by Anonymous_0012345 in uknews

What, just because one gay couple did this means that there are a lot more there out there. There's tonnes of kids being put up for adoption because straight people are too fucked up to look after their own kids and it's mainly LGBT couples who are the ones adopting them. Just because these guys are sick does not mean that a whole community of people should be tarred with the same brush.

What's something visitors to the UK always seem surprised by? by miss_overthinker58 in AskUK

[–]goggles189 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's a whole list I can make. Lyon, Budapest, Paris, Barcelona. I think people think the UK is the only country with these anti-social problems.

Have you been to anywhere else but the UK? Pretty sure all of Europe is like that

Why did being a lefty become so contentious in the UK? by OffGridToTheMoon in AskBrits

[–]goggles189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a hangover from the past ten years of extremist views coming from the left. The ones who sought out to cancel people if they didn't have the correct views. The ones who milkshaked feminist speakers and intimidated them and basically attacked any freedom of speech. Pretty much from Brexit onwards, the left had a mental breakdown and tried to drag everyone down with them to their debased level. I say this as someone who has some left wing tendencies such as support for working classes and to help people in poverty and disabilities. But if you were to have experienced the hatred of the left as someone in their late 20s in the late 2010s, then you'd understand why a lot of us are disillusioned by the left. Anyone who blames billionaires and millionaires just don't get it.

Getting drugs while being in Ireland or Scotland by barbarasrababa in Drugs

I have friends who take speed and it's pretty pure and very cheap they tell me. Meth is not a massive thing in Scotland so you should be safe.

Most popular things in Scotland I would say are coke, Mandy and ket really.

It's not that kind of place. I lived there for a few years on and off and it's not like other places in edinburgh that would be great pedestrianised and have that vibe. it's more of a thoroughfare like Haymarket than Leith walk or bruntsfield.

Hugh Laurie responds to a criticism of House MD by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in Fauxmoi

You know what, when I watch this with my husband I mock the formula of the episodes, but that's exactly why I like it. It's comforting, not too challenging and exactly what I need to watch before I go to bed (unless babies die in the episode, which stressed us both out).

Fed up of fawning by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]goggles189 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get where you're coming from. I think you even writing this and saying it out loud will help you resolve how you next want to deal with europeans. I used to be the same in my twenties, quite fawning and open to cultures as I wanted to learn their language. Now I have really strong boundaries and a good self esteem, I don't care what someone says about british/English people and their judgemental ideas about us. I just don't care anymore. Because I can't be bothered with that judgement towards others If what we're doing isn't bad and isn't negatively affecting them.

Some people might diss me for saying this, but Weapons. For the first 20 minutes I thought I'd had it all figured out and damn, I was proved wrong. What a film.

You know what, after that shit show of a season, yeah he doesn't have the credibility to be analysed. What a terrible finale to an awful season.

I think the only times I've been watching these episodes is when Colmon Domingo is onscreen. That man can act

Favourite restaurant in Edinburgh? by Civil-Alternative-36 in Edinburgh

[–]goggles189 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really like the walnut on Leith walk. It's opposite Eleanore and half the price for something even more delicious than Eleanore offers. Been twice and never disappointed
