When I visit in three weeks I plan to spend a month driving around the coastline...hope I don't run out of road...otherwise I will just have to take refuge in a pub and enjoy the hospitality..

Can't say that I have any preconceived idea of Ireland, as I've been there 3 times, and the first time was for 9 weeks.

All I can say is that the country is just beautiful ...

the people are very friendly ...

and the ladies, well, they're just gorgeous!!

Oh, I was leaving out one of the Ireland's icons, i.e. Guinness!!

Has anyone read Tony Hawk's book?

Around Ireland with a Fridge.

Its hilarious, and gives an insight to the
humor and good nature of the Irish.

Its a great read.

Hmmm.... there are a few.. a small few granted..., but the most common colouring for Irish people.. is dark hair with blue eyes, followed by blond hair and blue eyes (like me)... there is also a strong spanish influence to our genetic pool.. so there are a lot of girls with dark skin and dark hair aswell.. all in all we a mixed and good lookin bunch if I do say so myself

He made a bet (whilst drunk) that he could
hitch hike around Ireland with a fridge.
True to his word he carried it out.
Starting from just outside Dublin, the rules
were, he should travel anticlockwise and
keep as close to the coast as possible.
Its a great read and gives an insight into
Irish humour and hospitality.

Ooops you may be a little disappointed.. by far the most popular colouring for me over here is dark hair and blue eyes... there are ALOT of cuties though.. there are a few blonde men alright but its more dark blonde.. the girls (including me) would probably be dark blonde also if they didn't help it along a little

..

You'll have to come over Gangel.. find out for urself

No!!! most Irish men (although we have a fair few alcoholics) don't drink very frequently.. but when they do go out they tend to have several alright.. doesn't appear to be such a thing as have a couple and go home... they love to party!!

Down to 7min and 28 sec at the moment as in training for China, we seriously expect to take gold this year but have to watch out for the Czech Republic as they have been beating us in recent years.
