    Why don't Irish people have a table in the living room area? She said its commonplace back home.I told her some do but she has yet to see one.
    So do you have a table on front of your sofa?

    Yeah, I do.

    Tell her to drop over some time so she can see it.

    Yes I do, I thought that would be very common place in Irish homes no?

    We'd have to move it every time we vacuumed... More trouble than they are worth.

    C'mon, lets be honest now... You only asked this question so you can brag that you have a Scandinavian girlfriend. Fair play, I'd have done the same

    OP, is this thread just an excuse to point out that you have a Norwegian girlfriend? :pac:

    "Right, must think up some cultural differences topic as a cover for thread". :p

    I had two plastic legged things from Argos, both broke due to drunk people falling on them. I now use a stool to eat my dinner on.

    Sure you don't need one, just bend one of them over and eat your dinner off their back.

    When I was having a foursome with my czech, slovak and colombian girlfriends, they commented that Irish don't usually remove their shoes when entering a house.

    That was a weird foursome.
