The UK will thrive after Brexit, might take a few years but the indomitable bulldog spirit will prevail. Ireland would do well to go cap in hand to Washington and apply for full US membership. They are effectively the 51st state already given how much they take it up the ass from US multinationals. Itās astonishing driving around the outskirts of Limerick, every building is occupied by a US company. The place would be desolate if they left.

I noticed that myself, there is a large multi national presence in the mid west
The country should reunite and become the state of Ireland. I could see the unionists going for it.
the paddies need to be ruled, it is just a fact of life, look at the hames they have made of the place since the British left
Itās embarrassing how hard it is to get a anything done here, itās like stepping back into the early 20th century. I had a small bit of business to take care of this past week that involved visits to a bank, a phone shop and a Garda station. I was literally driven to the edge of sanity dealing with the hoors, my feet are sore from all the hoops Iāve had to jump though. Iād say I easily invested 8 or 10 hours in what would take 30 minutes at home.

I find it increasingly common now to just give up and go to the pub. The worst part is how helpful they pretend to be. They have a lovely way about them as they send you off on another wild goose chase. Itās a great place for delegation though, nobody actually does anything, they just pass the work on to the next clown.

you can see why it can never be a proper country, you can also why there is a serious problem with alcoholism

This is the only wild goose you experienced in Ireland. Youāre drinking every day since you came back.
It would drive anyone to drink sure. I barely touch the stuff at home but I find myself increasingly dealing with the frustration here by hitting the bottle. I need to get out of here soon for the good of my internal organs.

Nonsense. Ireland has no problem whatsoever with alcoholism.
How do you find not being able to drink drive over here? Pain in the arse and a culture shock id say
I wouldnāt dream of drink driving anywhere mate. Itās also far more rare and the penalties far more severe where I live than here. Rightly so.
When do you go back to where you live?
Hopefully the day you arrive.
Thatās nice, hoping to meet him in the airport for a pint?

Iām not a blaa mate.
Good to see the staples of Irish society sending the yank on a wild goose chase. Good enough for the cunt.
