    well?

    for me?

    not ireland

    I think Amsterdam - tho I've never been there - but apparently it has a reputation as a fun town.

    And Miami - I've also never been there, but is looks super fun on tv.

    Not London.
    Not Rome.
    Not Chicago.

    That I know.

    Really...!? I wonder why.

    Knots Landing. Never been there, not even sure it exists, but it looked lovely on tv in the 90s...

    Carmel or Monterey... Love love love California. Short spin up the coast to SanFran. Quick 45 min flight to Vegas the odd weekend. Or head down the coast to LA/Malibu/Santa Monica.

    A small log cabin in the Rocky mountains, Grizzly Adams style, where I could be self sufficient and enjoy just fishing all day. Completely off the grid, not even so much as a landline telephone.

    Anywhere else - Hundred Islands, Philippines

    So, where would we NOT like to live? Hard to judge two places you have never even been to.


    For me, I couldn't and wouldn't want anywhere but Ireland. Having visited every continent in my time, if I had to choose somewhere else, it would be rural New Zealand.

    Happy enough where I am
    But would love a holiday home on the beach somewhere sunny and quiet one of those fancy Pacific island gaffs with a private beach
    That'd do me nicely. Must buy lotto tickets!!!

    Byrd Station at Marie Byrd Land in Western Antarctica just East of the Ross Ice Shelf. Stunning.

    A curse to drive around the area or in nearby Naples though.

    A tropical island, but still within reach of civilisation when need be. Somewhere like the Maldives, Tahiti or Bora Bora.

    It does exist. Aka Crystalaire Pl Granada Hills, CA 91344 USA.

    Apparently still looks much the same. Unlike in the TV show it's not close to the beach at all. That was just an illusion.

    Would be great to have Abby Cunningham Ewing Summer as a next door neighbour. Never a dull moment.

    Spent an unforgettable 2 weeks on the Caribbean island of St Marteen. While not over developed it has plenty of fine bars and restaurants and hotels, stunning beaches, extremely laid back lifestyle and the coolest airport on a beach in the world. Nearly cried going home, still miss it 10 years later.

    I've lived in a few countries. New Zealand is lovely, but quite boring, and the people aren't as friendly and are no craic compared to us lot in Ireland. Australia was great with the lifestyle etc but too far away really. Canada was just f*cking freezing and dull so no thanks.
    Dublin for me is perfect as my folks live nearby and all my friends are here. That's what's important. Plus if I want the sun it's 2 hours on a Ryanair flight.

    Tristan Da Cunha. The most remote inhabited island in the world. I could do with getting away from people.
    Closer to home, Kerry would do me nicely.

    A nice house near a beach on Majorca, lovely warm climate all year round and only a 2 hour flight home a few times a year to see the clan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,073 ✭✭✭Rubberlegs


    An apartment overlooking New York.
    The Algarve.
    Gotham City.

    I wouldn't mind living in New York as a sports fan there would be buckets loads to watch there and if I had an apartment high up in a building I could spend a large part of the day looking down at the streets at the people moving by.

    ive been to new york

    was terribly disappointed

    I was expecting the replica of some 80's flick with robert deniro - if you know what I'm saying

    apparently it's undergone some changes since then

    that and it's a nightmare to negotiate, the commutes killed me
    plus - super pricey.
    I remember some ugly dude buying his model girlfriend a 37 dollar breakfast, whilst I was spending 2.50 on a cream cheese bagel, thinking I was splashing out.

    no

    I was not impressed with new york.

    Far away hills are green.

    Where I live is great right now, thanks be, but that might not always be the case. I realise this and have running away money.

    I thought text speak was a no-no. Seriously op, 5 letters more and you wouldn't come across as you do. 5 letters. Tough on the fingertips.

    The sentence structure isn't great either. Text speak is turning people into illiterate fools.

    Ireland is a great place to live. Rural Donegal in winter can feel special. Abroad, Patagonia would be hard to beat. Oregon is lovely also.

    I've travelled a fair bit and loved a lot of places but never went anywhere I could see myself living until I got to San Francisco. It's an excellent city I would happily live in.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,950 ✭✭✭ChikiChiki


    Probably somewhere like Italy or South of Spain. Both not too far from home and your guaranteed a good summer. Pity both are economic basket cases. I wouldn't find much work. But maybe for retirement.

    Currently in Sydney which is very nice but way to far from home.

    So the old Lord summoned his son, Alveric, and said to him, “Go from here eastwards and pass the fields we know, till you see the lands that clearly pertain to Faery; and cross their boundary, which is made of twilight, and come to that place that is only told of in song.”


    “It is far from here,” said the young man, Alveric.


    “Yes,” answered he, “it is far.”


    “What do you bid me do,” said the son, “when I come to that place?”


    And his father said.


    " If ye can get a signal? Call me. And tell me that Leitrim really exists! I could definitely use living in a place like that. "






    True! ;)

    Having lived abroad for most of the past 10 years, it would have to be home in Dublin for me. With a couple of holiday homes ideally - one in a small village in the south of Spain and maybe another in California somewhere, perfect!
