I wouldnt even consider it as NZ is so away from the rest of the world,i may consider dating an Austailian as it is only 2hrs flight away but no one any further.
But Guinness is made in Dublin at the Guinness Storehouse,i was there August and if you want to try the Rolls Royce of Whiskey,try Midletons Very Rare,they only brew 50 barrels a year and can only buy it in Ireland.
Im very sorry to hear of your loss and sorry about my insensitive post,i was bullied at High School and one he pushed me too far one day and i turned around and smacked him in the head and broke his nose...violence isnt that answer...that is why i ignore bullies knowing how i might react.
Thanks for the compliament Glengirl,even though my tour was structured,in our free time we had,i visited the small local pubs and just chatted with the locals and the stories the old guys would tell,you could sit there for hours,my da was from County Down,so i can relate to anything Irish...and i loved my tour through the Guinness Storehouse...Slainte
Having been the work force for 30 yrs,the best way to deal with those kind of people is to ignore them...that really bugs them...a bully is just a person that seeks attention...but the more we talk about it,the more attention this person is getting.
Even though i was born in Chch NZ,im still Irish by blood and can move there whenever i want to and im bi-lingual,i speak gaelic aswell.The history over there is amazing.
truth to be honest,there isnt much diffence,just different words for different things and after 22 days with 39 aussie coach mates...we had a heck of a good time.
