    Makes you restless and when you return to Ireland you feel let down.:mad:

    We'll agree so, the act of travelling doesn't broaden the mind.

    Travelling can and does. Seeing how other people live and interacting with people from different cultures and backgrounds to you can be a real learning curve. It depends on how you approach the idea of travelling. Not everybody is going to get the best out of it, but a lot of people do.

    That said, people who constantly go on about how much they've travelled are annoying.

    The act of "Working" does instill a sense of pride, well-being and place within a person. I am in favour of anybody doing good.


    I dont understand whythe do-gooders always have to go abroad to do thier "charitable work" and never seem to want to help out with deprivation in thier own country.

    I suppose its all about a free holiday and a sense of moral superiority.

    All of these opinions suck, nothing controversial!

    is it because we might get banned for speaking our mind?

    Posters on Message-Boards that use 'us' and 'we' when they are writing only about themself.

    Nah, just for being a dick about people with absolutely no back-up. I sense that's the kind of stuff you'd like to post.

    Not really Dublin and Belfast are way more depressing than Waterford excluding the job market. Look at how nice Waterford is compared to Belfast.

    'banter' is the single most annoying word in the known universe.

    Hardly an unpopular opinion there NC, but I figure I have an even more annoying one- "punters"!

    Also I prefer to call my customers just that as "clients" to me just always had an awfully pretentious ring to it.

    No its not, population is too small. Although if you say this to an actual Kilkenny person, they'll start harping on about cathedrals and tradition and high kings as the reason why

    Yeah but I think there is something about a royal charter back in the time of King James or something. So legally it is.

    Once a major town has a cathedral it gets city status. And yes I'm from Kilkenny.

    What if the Chuggers are also Junkies? Do we call them ... Juggers? Chunkies?

    For the last three years, I've watched the Super Bowl game live. I've found American Football at that level to be rather interesting, a cross between Chess and a strategy board game. I'm no fan of big men in tight clothes, but the camera rarely gets close enough to bother me. :o
