Spanish!

They have been coming to host families for years, we had 1 was I was 12, so 14 years ago.

Kind of on topic, someone once told me that it is offensive to call them spaniard's is this true?

Em, they're on holiday, leave em be, they're harmless. Try spending 4 hours a day with them!

Moderating AH wasn't enough of a cross to bear in this life?

They usually keep to themselves though and are not much bothar to the local community.

Really? My local shop is entirely out of coke because of them.

Damn them all.

clogging up the entire width of a footpath and not having the courtesy to move out of the way in the middle of Dublin City centre at rush hour is fucking annoying...

This is what really annoys me. I've never had this problem with Irish or any other nationality, but the past few weeks have been unbelievable. Just the other day I was walking out near Dundrum when 3 young-ish girl students were walking slowly towards me. There was no way I was going to step on the road as cars were zooming by, so I kept my walking stride at the edge of the path.... the girl who was coming toward me refused to move in, and then took the full force of my shoulder (I didnt hit her, she bloody walked into me). I just stood and looked at her questioning why the flying fook she didnt give me room to walk. I HATE THEM!!! AAARGGHHH

A little annoying sitting in a bus full of them but it's certainly tolerable.

I was walking home with my girlfriend yesterday evening from a walk. We pass through a Tesco carpark on our way home. 10 or so drunk Irish skangers all parked in their little shít-heaps start whistling and making lewd comments at my woman as we walk by. 100 metres down the road in the park we see some teenagers and what looks like a fire in the distance and think 'Oh no, here we go again'. As it turns out, it was only Spanish students who were cooking some sausages, telling stories and having some good natured fun.

Two groups of people, poles apart.

It's not just in Dublin either. Limerick is chock full of them as well. They stay in the on campus accommodation in UL. I had a few friends who worked last summer cleaning up after then and they had some horror stories to tell.

Yes, I was one of those poor souls -_-

They're mostly Italian - some French. The Italians were noisy, roudy, messy, and didn't seem to be actually learning any English. They were very special people:

- They put dirty dishes in the recycling bin, or back in the cupboards
- I remember one house where the kitchen floor was plastered in spaghetti bolognese
- A large proportion of them put MILK in the kettle (we eventually just took all the kettles away)
Oh God, I don't want to remember half the stuff they did. Luckily some of the bushes by the houses started to smell really bad (soon after a rather sickly cat "disappeared"), by the end of the summer the place was infested by wasps, and we stole their food (we never once paid for milk or bread for lunch ), so sucks to them! Mwoahahahahahahhaahaha!!!1111

The French however were the best residents there - they hoovered their bedrooms regularly, and did their own dishes (some even attempted writing notes asking us not to do the dishes). So cleaning their houses gave us ample time to catch up with Ricki Lake and Dr. Phil ^_^

which is more annoying the 16yr students who come over here and are loud on the bus. Or the Irish who holiday in Spain, drink, fight and puke all over the resorts. watch costa street crime on the bravo channel some time and imagine what they think of us.

Ah sure, everybody loves us Irish. Sure we get drunk, but we're always happy.
If we start acting rowdy or start fights, they just think we're english
