    Love waterparks. Or I used to. I have steadily got more scared of the more steep slides in the last few years. Sign of growing old :(. That said, there has never been a slide that has beaten me.

    Porto Del Carmen. Just off the beach. Never been, so looking forward to it. Anything is better than being here I guess.

    Went for a couple of weeks last summer, kicks ass. Beaches aren't the best but the heat is fantastic, I never felt as good physically as I did during the time I was there.

    Fúcking sickening. The wimminz in the office today are wearing their Nunster garb hoping "we" win tmr. They do not know whether the ball is pumped or stuffed yet thats all they talk about for the week.

    Christ I despise rugby fans. At least soccer/GAA fans know what they are talking about (most of the time).

    I'd say if you walked around UCC today, the amount of grey trackies and munster jerserys on display would break your heart

    To be fair, a lot of that is down to the UK education system! You've no idea how UK's history of Ireland and Ireland's history of Ireland tend to differ! And i could go on a six page rant on exactly how.

    But hey, i'll stay on topic instead. :)

    Itd probably equate to Shelbyvilles version of how the lemon tree wound up back in Springfield:D

    Why on Earth would the U.K. care about Ireland. Small country complex

    Had me scratching my head as well, but hey, you know what they did to get their hands on the Falkland Islands too!

    And with that in mind, i'm moving this to OTB. :)

    The British haven't a clue about Ireland. The amount of times someone has heard my big thick Dublin accent and said "Ayyy, our kid here"! while pointing at me. They'll take the piss and put on a Northern Irish accent while thinking it's a Dulin accent. How the f*ck does that work? *They* don't know the difference between Ireland and Northern Ireland.

    I'm Irish, I've been living in the UK for close to two years, yet even as a kid I could look at a map of the UK and point out Wales and Scotland. Give a Brit a map of Ireland and they wouldn't have the first clue where the divide is.

    *Ok, I'm generalising with the "they" remark, but honestly, 95% of the British that I've met haven't a clue about Ireland.

    They were selling Munster scarves on the stall outside Turners Cross tonight, I know Musgrave is around the corner and all but wtf! :confused:

    A friend of mine has been drawn into the Munster buzz big time since moving to Limerick, she is heading up to Dublin tomorrow to watch the match...in the pub. Yet she won't bother coming back to Turners Cross lol.

    Over 99% of Irish people have the slightest idea about Britain either ffs. They might know where the divides are on a map but how many people in Ireland could tell the difference between most english accents, let alone actually do them. When I was in London a girl tried doing an Irish accent and did a Northern one by accident. I then did a northern accent and she could tell the difference handy enough, she just couldn't do the accent herself. To take the piss I then did a Lancashire-type accent as an impersonation of her. :)

    Actually i can differentiate between a Yorkshire, London, Sheffield, Manchester, Northampshire and Plymouth accent pretty well.

    And that's before i even begin to watch the better half's soaps. :)
    Somehow I don't think i count as 99% ;)

    Exactly what I thought :pac:. When she told me she was going I thought she had a ticket. Most pubs around Munster would probably have a good atmosphere without having to travel to Dublin!

    Ya might count towards the 1% ya are. :P But no-one I know would have a clue which was which. Well one or two now that I've started telling jokes that rely on puns and accents for the punchline. :P

    Oh it's the worst thing, travelling home after a defeat, I'll never forget the bus back from Belfast after City's defeat to Linfield, had to be up for college then two hours after I got home, not pleasant lol.

    Although it would serve her right for travelling all the way :pac:, can only imagine what her workplace would be like on Tuesday (seemingly all Munster fans) if they were to lose.
