    It does. Shall I take my tea on the verandah, or in the observatory?

    Well if you have both then it doesn't matter if it rains or not;)

    It's more the chill breeze, friend. I can't take it with my city ways. :)

    Weird but "The Pale" still exists, doesn't it?

    :cool:

    Actually, it does, it is a man made mound stretching all the way from Dublin and ends at Clongowes, Clane. There are parts of it still visible, so yes, it did, and in parts, does exsist. This is where the phrase "beyond the Pale comes from" It was used to keep us boggers out of Dublin

    Anyway, the benefits of living in the Country far far outweigh living in a City, and the Dublin based lobby groups and media sometimes completely forget that there is another 3 million or so people living in the land of ours.

    The countrys nice for a day or two but I couldn't live there permanently,there's nothing to feckin do besides sit in a field or in a pub or talk about feckin GAA,no decent public transport and no internet besides those unreliable,expensive 3g mobile phone dongle things.

    Peace and quite, beautiful scenery, every day, safe communities, safe to raise children, educational for kids, and it seems adults, loads of Internet options...I myself am with Westnet (no you would not have heard of it), Friendly people, Takes 20 minutes to travel 20 miles to work as opposed to 2.5 hours to travel 20 minutes to work, better quality of life, better social scene, great things to do at the Weekends, epic winter storms!!, oh, and by the way, most of us have been paying for our water for years, so it beggars belief why the Dubs are bitching that they might have to pay for their water supply....grow a pair!:cool:

    The media is the problem in this country, I don't have a particular problem with Newstalk being dublin-centric given that was their original base and they aren't a state owned company. Similarly the Examiner is Cork based even though its distributed nationally. Its fine.

    RTE is the problem here as the state owned national broadcaster, they should not be biased or catering for any one crowd but appear to overwhelmingly do so.
