Renaming the country

    Ireland....

    I wonder sometimes where that name actually came from, and if it's really appropriate for our rain-lashed rock?

    I mean, I think the Roman name for our this spot of green and grey was the best. Hibernia, the 'wintry place'. I mean, it's pissing rain outside in mid-summer. It's pissing rain outside in winter, the only difference is, the rain is warmer or colder.

    Any other worthwhile names for this toilet of a country?

    you'ld think with it raining all the time people would get sick of whining about the poxy rain and get used to it. if it's that much of an issue for you, take some of the energy you're using complaining about the weather and the name of the country and re-direct it into learning spanish or french or something.

    When my family moved to this state we had a choice where to live, Springfield or Stenchburg. Do you know why we chose Springfield? Because everyone knows that Jebediah Springfield was a true American hero. End of story!

    Springfield is a part of us all! A part of us all! A part of us all!

    Sorry to repeat myself but it'll help you remember it.
