Ireland, I love you

Itwasntme. · 20-08-2013 01:07PM #1

Maybe it's because I am leaving soon but I woke up this morning feeling a whole lot of love for Ireland. So instead of trying to beat yet another deadline, I watched a few Rose of Tralee video clips and my love cup overflowed even more (shut up haters).

I love the accents, all of them but especially Tipperary, Donegal and the midlands; I love that there are so. many. hot men; I love the almost naked girls in the winter; I love the way people are just so friendly; I love the cold, crisp air; I love the rain; I love the green; I love the orange - off the flag and onto an astonishing amount of people; I love the gingers; I love it all.

What do you love about Ireland? What would you miss if you left? What do you miss for those of you who are not here?

This is NOT a thread about what you don't like. Start your own thread haters and don't bloody ruin my buzz.

Family, coolness, and moisture.

At the same time the rose of traleee was on tg4 were showing a documentary about irish men who emigrated to the UK in the 50-60s and wound up living in isolation and squalor for most of their lives

A grand little country to be sure, to be sure.

I'm going home tomoz for a few days and I was there last week too, the tranquility of the place was nice and the fact that it's nowhere near as busy or built up as London innit.

The Irish sense of humour.

gg2 · 20-08-2013 01:14PM

Sense of humour without a doubt!

wp_rathead · 20-08-2013 01:15PM

why you leaving if you love it so much.. eh? Eh? EH?!

TeddyTedson · 20-08-2013 01:16PM

I don't think you should leave, you'll get homesick.

The niceness/friendliness inherent in most Irish people. They still outnumber the cynics, and I hope they always will.

1.I love the way you can drink yourself into oblivion a few times a weeks, every week for your whole life and nobody will ever even think you have a drink problem.

2. Drunk Irish women.

3. The weather is nice and mild.

Corvo Attano · 20-08-2013 01:20PM

Our friendliness to strangers. For the most part we always seem ready to go out of our way to help others. Its admirable.

I love when you're out walking your dogs in the rain, it's quite heavy, lashing at your raincoat and some old fella is walking boy. He gives you a wink and a smile 'tis mighty weather aint it?' and on he strolls.

All good things must come to an end and my time here is done. There's a big world out there waiting for me.

Corvo Attano · 20-08-2013 01:26PM

Ah you'll return someday for a while.

The beauty of nice autumn and winter days, the overall easygoing vibe, the way things are easy to get to.

Hah!

Some time ago I got into a taxi mid summer (i.e. pouring rain, cats, dogs, hippopotami) while utterly drenched to the skin, and said "soft day, thank God".

Without batting an eyelid, the taxi driver replied with "Yeah, I hear it's supposed to turn bad at the weekend".

Love it.

I think the three things you've mentioned are in my top ten reasons why I love Ireland. Why oh why don't we have autumn in Africa?! That actually really sucks. I feel the need to write a very long letter to the weather gods expressing my dissatisfaction with how they short changed Africa on the seasons.

Ireland, I love you
