Ireland the Same as Wales beautiful rural parts except we have hills. The industrial parts the same as any other country. The cities/town are full of hustle and bustle. Many of the hight street shops are the same as any where else

Hello i'm the dark hair one \



I'm a very Naughty Mair must stop highjacking

I always liked shopping in Belfast more than Dublin, Dublin always seemed to be dark and grey when ever I was there, I found the giants causeway a disappointment the photos always made it look huge!! Loved Bushmills :D can't beat a nice Jamesons Gold Reserve or a nice black bush, fnarr fnarr :D

Cant remember which of the 2 large outdoor museums I liked the best, I think it was the American Folk Park? is the that one with all the reconstructions? quite moving in places!!


LOVED all round Galway and the connemara, could of happily stayed in Clifden a few more days!! and Donegal is WOW as well, specially up Slieve League, second highest sea cliffs in europe! not a fun drive up the edge tho

Big hug from sunny Gozo

oooooooooh

one other thing that was kinda brill, driving round the south, you didnt pass a car every few seconds, and when you did... they where more likely than not to wave!!!! which is like huh for the first few times... and after that just lovely :)

and to U 2 (since we're talking Ireland here)



and a kiss just in case.....

Do you not know about the good friday peace agreement, that celebrated its 10th anniversary this week in Belfast....Bill Clinton US president at the time with Tony Blair was in power in London too and Bertie Aherne our taoiseach, have succeeded to get all parties to put down arms.....it took a while but peace has been achieved. By the way i am in my 40's too and Dublin did not suffer the kind of troubles our northern friends did....

Good thread vonney......its all about what a brilliant person i am after all i am Irish..... now i am only jokin folks my kids would tell you different....

Morning all from sunny Dublin (well at the moment it is, which is a rare sight)

Mmmmmmmmmm u look very much like a guitar player with a lovely Irish Lassy?????????

I wonder why that would be

Bore da Nuala my lovely Irish mate how the devil are you

When i first visited Ireland i was amazed how many
people waved at me as i drove by, especially in the
south and around the west coast.
I might add that at the time i was driving on English
no. plates.
Yes, a warm welcome is guaranteed on The Emerald
Isle.

Yeah, I like U2

Often feel I'm stuck in a moment I can't get out of when I'm on here

I am over fifty now, and yes, my country having been so closely affiliated to British life, having been a colony up to late sixties, I lived the Irish situation hands on.

It was at the time somewhat painful to experience such tragic circumstances in an otherwise civilised land so close to home.

But I am also somehow proud, even inf not Irish, that good common political sense prevailed. It is a healthy sign of maturity for any society to witness the laying down of arms and having violence being replaced by conference tables.

That is the only future we can all hope for.

So in that respect, well done to all the Irish.

Hip Hip......

Thats kinda true..... its combarible to other countries with similar reputations in the fact that the Irish are extremely sociable and chatty... cant shut us up (most of us.. not to over generalise)... so the few drinks is more a part of that..

I even notice with Irish kids.. they are so vivacious and chatty... I notice it on the bus.. if you see other nationality's children (again just a generalisation).. they are always very calm and well behaved, sitting in their chair quietly.... Irish children... will chat away to the driver... and to strangers... bombard their mother with questions.. jump on the chair and wave.... its a sight to behold really Irish children tend to be so full of beans(in a nice way ).. I wonder sometimes is it just in our blood.... this vivaciousness...

top of the morning to ya......was thinkin of you and alison while bakin me scones this morning.....dont normal bake early in the day but my son is coming home from london with the new girlfriend so you know yourself, have to give a good impression of the doting mother....

Had the pleasure of catching them live at Earl's Court in London......god how long ago was that?

six or seven years ago now I guess. Twas the time Bono's dad passed away day before the concert...

Would do it again anytime.

... I agree the Irish and Welsh.. have sooo much in common... I haven't spent much time in Wales but I have been there and there seems to be that same warmth... in the rural areas in any event...

Sadley my one and only experience was on emigrating to N.Z.

Gatwick airport we had to evacuate cos IRA had planted a bomb???

But I did have a wonderfull dog Irishwolfhound was just the best .
