irishlass45: you should be ashamed of yourself too representing your country like that, they really do need upgrading.


Considering that Jim is a war veteran for his country, that is a very low thing to say to him.

JohnnyT: Without getting involved in a b**chfight, I will point out that Losty wasn't warning Dusty not to come here - he was just informing her of facts which need to be considered. Such as the visa situation. One of my friends is going out with an American girl and at the moment they basically have to work a long distance relationship because she can't get an Irish visa, he can't get an American visa. Both college graduates, both upstanding citizens (well....) but the reality of the situation is that visa's aren't all that easy to come by. Crazy really when you think about it. The 2 of them met in Vietnam and lived together in Asia for years without any problems. Then they come back to the west and neither can get visa's for the other's country....

Madness.


Johnny, thank you for being good enough to read the lines.

But I'll say it again. Ireland is crap. I should probably start a new thread on the subject but I'm too lazy.

irishlass45: I have not offered her assistance because it is not my place to nor is it my place to tell her not to move here or there, I understand what you are saying trust that the ramifications of the move on all parties involved and both countries involved that was not my point though, my point was that you sounded like you had underlying warnings or ill bodings and it does not matter any longer anyway I am sure she does not feel welcome there by now because of what all has been said so your job is done, and you got your way more than likely so to keep being rude to me would be useless you have proven what you are made of and how you are.


Oh for crying out loud.... frustrated

I asked if she has thought out basics; where to live, work, kids in school and indeed, had she the right to move here?

Any other hyperbole, exaggeration or comment jumping, including "underlying warnings" or so called "ill bodings" can be and are from you, as were some rather rude and snide comments. If anybody scared her off, look closer to home as it was from you that most of the bad vibes have come.

I think the Irish men will be very welcoming to you Zarah! You wont have any worries....

With regard to what went before from the Texas Irish roots department! You are a doctor.... doesn't take too much reading between the lines to work that one out! Its not an Irish bitterness (coz we are lovely!!) it is a general bitterness judging from other posts and we should back off and let her deal with it in peace. You will love it here.

Don't u just love the internet? Oh and the weather is still freezing... sorry!grin

Fallingman: Never saw a country summed up better!


Well I don't know but finding out in three weeks...

Yeah I heard the scottish and Irish like to drink....


Sandy was drinking at a pub all night. When he got up to leave, he fell flat on his face. He tried to stand again, but to no avail, falling flat on his face. He decided to crawl outside and get some fresh air to see whether that would sober him up. Once outside, he stood up and, sure enough, fell flat on his face. So, being a practical Scot, he crawled all the way home.
When he got to the door, he stood up yet again, but fell flat on his face. He crawled through the door into his bedroom. When he reached his bed, he tried once more to stand upright. This time he managed to pull himself to his feet but fell into bed. He was sound asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
He woke the next morning to his wife shaking him and shouting, "So, ye've been oot drinkin' as usual!" "Why would ye say that?" he complained innocently.
"Because the pub called an' ye left yer wheelchair there again!"

Sorry...could not help my wee self ...X ...Z
