I really bloody love Ireland more than anywhere on earth though 
Me too!This thread is making me a bit homesick
Yes! I went to see a love show of the wanderly wagon in the 80s.. weird as fuck
I remember splash world and celt world in tramore
I love the chocolate kimberley...heaven. I cant buy them though or the whole box will be gone in one go. Happened manys a timethese are still a Christmas staple!!
if they don’t taste stale you got a bad box
Fabulous memoriesI grew up in the North near the border.
We used to go over the border on sunny days to the beach and come home with the "good butter", the "proper white bread", the "free state tayto" and Irish Cadbury.
My grandad used to always come with us and go to his favourite pub while we were at the beach
When the army border checkpoints were still a thing if they stopped us my grandad (who was the biggest joker and messer) uSd to shout really loud "ah shite they're gona find the guns in the boot now". I was only about 7 or 8 and used to cry my eyes out thinking the soldiers would take him away and he would be laughing his head off
but scary times.
We cannot talk in my nanas house when the angelas are on, and secondly when winning streak is on. My nana judges all the outfit choices 'well I hope she gets something now sure isnt her cardigan faaaaaaaablas'I remember every time my Granny won a few quid at the bingo she’s say “Bundoran here I come”
I hope someone is on my wavelength with this one- why do all the contestants on winning streak always look so miserable? They’re on a show where everyone wins big money but they always look like someone’s just pissed in their coddle
I was 14 the time of the good Friday agreement so most of it was when I was too young. My dad said he found me about 7 or 8 watching some news report about anotjer bomb, legs and arms crossed like an old fishwife tutting and saying "poor ireland daddy, poor ireland"...such a granny
bogger.Cavan - behave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are you going for the messagesMy husband is Irish. When we first met I found so many things confusing. Why was he doing his 'messages' when was he was shopping? Why was his dressing gown a 'house coat'? And his welly boots are water boots? Why is the airing cupboard a hot press? Most confusingly why does he have a slice of bread and butter with every. single. meal?
Is so Irish.
Poor Julian was standing there the mouth wide open, then laugh and smiled as we drove on.. swear my dad only meant it in Jest
I was born in England but raised in Ireland so im English in a lot of ways but know the sayings and they crack me up-my husband is Irish Irish and he's always about doing the delph, and the glass of milk with the meal too, no matter what. And a glass of 'mineral' tooMy husband is Irish. When we first met I found so many things confusing. Why was he doing his 'messages' when was he was shopping?

Ya I guess it was a bit hypocritical. the church of England vicars can marry have families and carry out their duties just fine, if the Vatican had followed suit there wouldn't be half the scandals I'm betting.
knock knock
