    Its already the forgotten county, so we wont miss it.

    Wait, what?

    Also, about the driving licences. Aspects of the design and look of passports have been harmonised, why can't the same be done for drivers licences?

    OP, you achieved a first class degree and an MA from the University of Oxford and then proceeded to sell drugs in nightclubs for the next 20 years before retiring in your thirties to engage in petty arguments on an internet message board?

    Do you not feel you could have done more with your life considering the fantastic academic qualifications you attained?

    He says he sold the drugs to fund going to University.

    You are mistaken.
    I was a drug dealer, importer, and supplier from 1992 to 2010.
    The first 8 years of the business were focussed on raves not nightclubs.
    I then moved from dealing to importation, and supplying. I wanted to reduce the risk, and maximise profits at that stage.
    For the first 10 years of the business all net profits were reinvested back into the business. It was only in the later 8 years that it began to yield enough net profit to make a exit plan, at which point I could wind down the business and retire.
    I used some of the proceeds from the business to fund my degrees at Oxford.
    I worked first, then attained my degrees; not the other way round.
    One doesn't need a Masters to deal E.
    I try not to engage in petty arguments, but regrettably when the Trolls on this forum insult me I feel compelled to defend myself. In my former life I used to pay Crown Court Barristers to defend me, now I just do it myself.

    Is it ok if I continue under the assumption that the above is a work of fiction?

    Back to topic:
    Please discuss -
    The erosion of what makes Ireland unique and the evaporation of our culture into a predominant Anglo-American celeb reality TV blandness with undertones of Euro trash excess and waste, hastened by a political apathy and lack of leadership that is more interested in what the EU thinks of Ireland than what the Irish people think of Ireland.

    ...I'd get the barristers back, were I you.
