Hiking, shooting, fishing, cycling, running, photography, nature-watching, cooking, so on and so forth. If you live in the country and are bored, you've got to get outside and do something.

When you've the weather of course.

I grew up in a country-ish area - "rurban" I guess. Built-up parts with housing estates and amenities, but close to fields and woods too. I found myself spending more time in town (Cork) during the winter - really remote, faraway countryside strikes me as pretty grim in bad weather.

Nah, throw on a coat and away out and do the same things. I spent several hours one day last January numb to the waist from sitting in snow in the mountains outside Killarney National Park. Was hunting deer but spent that time watching one of the white tailed sea eagles hunting the same clearing I was on the edge of. Weather was harsh, but the experience was phenomenal. Being bored is a waste of time.

It's a long time since I've actually seen a sexy sheep in the flesh.
Used to see a few nice wooly ones over the winter and then they'd shave their wool for spring and look quite lean and hot.

Someone of keen mind is never bored, regardless of the circumstances.

Boredom is the refuge of idiots.

Having lived in a town for a few years I'm thrilled to be back living in the country.
Everyone knows everyone else but you still get privacy & peace.
I walk a good bit, even when the weather is bad all I have to do is throw on a pair of wellies & wet gear & I don't get looked at like I'm a weirdo. Try doing that in a town & you would be amazed by the amount of fat arse lazy fcukers that drive past you & think you have a want because you're out & about.
Also I plan on starting my vegetable garden this year so that will keep me busy.
I honestly think I'd have a breakdown if I had to live in a town or city again.

There's loads to do if you really want to:

bus to Dublin/Cork/Galway/Limerick
heroin
emigrate
zoophilia
incest

I completely agree with you and its the number 1 thing I dislike about living in the countryside.

That cost a fair bit to get a bus. Look at new york get the train from brooklyn to the city for 2 dollars 50 cent.

Ah yeah, well its kinda like that where I am but I don't really give a fcuk
At least I can have a blazing row with my boyfriend & the neighbours can't hear.
I can walk around the house naked without the fear of anyone looking in the window.
There's no such thing as chuggers or religious fanatics looking to convert me to whatever it is they believe in.
And there's the usual eagle eyed neighbours watching out for shifty characters so thankfully break ins tend to be a very rare occurrence.

Not if you have a house attached to your house.

If they can see across a thirty acre field, through a window & can see me in my birthday suit then they deserve to perve

You could make utensils/furniture/clothing out of various wildlife.

I'm considering moving to the country but I don't want to live somewhere that's too isolated in case I find myself in a Padraig Nally type situation.

OP
Is it the loneliness of it, all the suggestions above are fun, but better when done with other people.

I was on a caravan holiday years ago, but more a baby sitting one, for three desolate weeks in the arsehole of the empire, the unmapped regions. My uncle and auntie went to the pub at night leaving me and my cousin with no tele and a game of fukcen cluedo, we are both total world champion experts at cluedo. I couldn't wait to get back to the big smoke.

But now someday I would like to live in westcork but with-in driving distance of Cork.

Ha ha ha, I don't walk around the house naked on a regular basis.
You get what I'm saying though.
Living beside someone doesn't suit me. If we have a BBQ or a party it can get as loud as it wants without pissing anyone off. The few times we did have a party in town ended up with the neighbours giving us filthy looks for about a week after it.

It is a lonely place to live if you have no one

Well it's not really practical is it.
The dog likes a crotch sniff & without clothes on it could get awkward.





I also realise I should have stopped posting about two posts ago.

Hiking = walking outside
Shooting = kill something
Fishing = kill something
Cycling= walking outside
Running= walking outside
Photography = walking outside with a camera
Nature-watching= walking outside
Cooking=cos you can't do that in the city.
so on and so forth=run out of ideas


so walk(or bike if you're lazy, run if energetic) outside or kill something?

If you're that unimaginative, you're probably going to be boring and bored wherever you are. And see my sig regarding your absurdly simplistic conceptions of hunting and fishing, to say nothing of the other activities.

If I might be so bold, what much more is there to do in the city? Cinema sure. (Restaurants and pubs do exist in abundance in the countryside so Id block that one as exclusively city venture) Lets face it wherever we are most of us spend time with or without a partner engaged in tv, or on t'internet, or perhaps reading a book, studying, doing a crossword, cooking and eating food, exercising.
It really seems to come down less to being bored by the activities of a place, and more so being uncomfortable with the number of people living in your surrounds. I'm originally from country area and I dont particularly like living in built up areas, and I know some people from built up areas find country areas lonely/creepy. But boredom? If you find yourself saying you're bored a lot thats probably just your own handiework.

Have a blazing row and the neighbours don't hear it.
Cast a fishing rod out of your window and catch that nights dinner.
See the stars not just a smoggy sky.
Leave your curtains open at night and not worry about police helicopter lights in your room.

Salute everyone
If you're walking you must salute every driver, if you drive you must salute every walker.
It doesn't matter if you don't know them, you just have to salute, that's the rule
If you see a farmer in a field in the tractor you need to give them a big wave

If you don't we'll be talking about you outside Mass and calling ya a snob.

When driving, you must only raise one finger from the top of the steering wheel
