  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭abouttobebanned


    We dont get any crazy weather which we should be thankful for.

    If we weren't run by greedy fcukers for the last 50 years - and put up with it - we could be living in an amazing little country.

    Instead we're living in the caravan on the side of the road that is Europe.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,815 ✭✭✭imitation


    I'd accept all of that, cept for weather, its May and I still have to turn on the heating !

    Still though, I bet a majority of the worlds 7 billion people would kill to have the lifestyle of the average Irish Joe. If we could just sort out the whole negative equilty, lack of jobs and get a weather machine we would be oxo !

    You were going well until you gave keane a 3. You obviously dont have a grasp of his worth to the irish squad.

    points out of 10 fail.

    Oh yeah and the 5 for irish women, i forgot its the cool internet thing to deride women in ireland. Get out more..

    This thread should be deleted so that the 70 million Irish diaspora don't get to hear about how wonderful Ireland is. If they all come here we're screwed.

    Go to countries like Congo, Russia, Georgia or North Korea and you will never complain about this country again.

    Actually:

    You need to read the entire thread before you cast asparagus.

    I had already accepted someones else's opinion and adjusted my own in accordance ... see below.

    Keane? I was too decent to him. Barely a 3! The Irish squad never performs when they rely on him.

    So Irish women are now a 4 Imo. see above! (I agreed!!)

    I will actually will and do argue that to their face ... nothing anything to do with the internet. But then ... I'm not as terrified of Irish 'wimmen' as Irish 'wimmen' would like to think I should be!

    However .... maybe I WAS too optimistic about Irish weather!

    Ireland is a great country. Even though its broke its one of the best countries to be broke and unemployed in, because of social welfare...


    Now the weather is horrible... Grey, rainy,depressing...:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    There's no way I'd agree Ireland's great. But it's not bad at all - pretty great (generally speaking) in terms of life quality.

    Children born in the 90s who go on about it being terrible - yawn, not worth acknowledging.

    I feckin LOVE ireland, and i love being a dub!

    Such a beautiful country where we can leave the city and be in the arse end of nowhere (like the west) and literally be sitting on the edge of the world in a few hours.

    The beaches are lovely, the weather is predictable (RAIN) but i love most the people. Nowhere do you get such bleedin craic!

    I'm ashamed to say that I did look at it a while back for an hour one night. :(

    I still feel ashamed.
    I would have given it a 1 .... or a 0 .... but then I'd have to look at it a little longer to find an even lower-lite!!

    Social culture is awful. Anyone that argues that it isn't all bloody drinking all the time is deluded and the weather is so consistently miserable most outdoor activities need a coat and wellies half the time.
    The best I can get out and do where I am is going for a run on the side of the road getting soaked with nosy neighbors faces pressed against their front windows.

    The weather is crap. Grey, mild, damp, rain, bit of a chill wind, more rain. Dull and depressing.

    Social Welfare is good, not great. The price of things is ****ing shocking. 188 a week? After any rent/bills/food that's nothing. And if you have a car forget it! Welfare is high because the cost of things is obscene. That's without needing to cloth yourself or look after any medical bills or replacing anything that might break or need repair.

    Pedo priests and corrupt politicians. The economy in a train wreck. No jobs. Austerity and more austerity to come.

    I don't need to be in Ireland to go on Boards...

    Breakfast Rolls are greasy poison.

    Saying things are worse elsewhere doesn't mean they are good here. It's a spineless argument. The only way things change or get better is if people see a need for change. "It'll be grand", If you don't like it go somewhere else and the like are why we're a mess and don't deserve better as a nation.

    Also, ARGH. I didn't mean to rail off but hey why not it's AH.
