    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.

    Ballyferriter. Or on a 50 foot steel yacht.

    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.

    An apartment overlooking New York.
    The Algarve.

    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.

    Somewhere with punctuation.

    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.

    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!

    Small island. Period. Was where I was trying to get when I came here . Small island! No tourists I mean. Sad that many of our Irish ones have gone over to deep tourism... Even Great Blasket will not be peaceful soon.... Small island please! Soon.... no emoticon for weeping, Should not have opened this thread.. I am a hermit and need an island hermitage...

    Not without a huge salary it isn't. Nice to visit though.

    I wouldnt live anywhere except Dublin if I could help it. Home is where the heart is.

    However, if I had to and if I had any choice in the matter it would be

    a) Birmingham - People will trash that but I dont care. It's my second home.

    b) Bordeaux - I love Bordeaux. If my lotto numbers ever come up I'm buying a gaff here

    It's hard to find an island hermitage with a Lidl nearby though.
