    That seemingly every other country on Earth is vastly superior to Ireland in every conceivable sense and measure.

    If 2 people's experiences of a foreign country are different, the one which praises the country is obviously the right one.

    Similarly if 2 people say different things about Ireland, the one which is more negative and slates Ireland is the truth and gets more support.

    That the fact that I lurk for the most part is because I can't be dealing with arguments for arguments sake

    That much more people then I thought are fairly far right wing economically. (always thought I was 'centre left' but according to here I am far left)

    That all protesters are stupid smelly crusties who should be locked up.

    That thinking some drug laws are good makes you 'out of touch'.

    That you're either an IRA supporter or you're a west Brit.

    That if you're religious (I'm not) then you are a crackpot that should be put in a loony bin.

    That if you oppose abortion (I don't) you are a crackpot religious person that should be put in the loony bin.

    That Irish football fans of the EPL (I am one) are quite mentally ill in general. :p

    I think I've just insulted myself many times just now...:confused:

    Although "used barrys" is a great euphemism. :D

    Boards has taught me that for every cynical negative person there's always an intelligent and enlightened person who will post on the same thread.

    Also, it's impossible to even debate the merits or otherwise on immigration without the racism label being thrown around.

    I can't check if someone has replied to me when I check on my profile page because my name is 'too long' for it to work for some reason. It hurts me more than anyone else if that's any consolation to you.

    I have fixed arrows in my cupboard that aren't broken, ha! :pac:

    After 14 years of school, most irish people still cant ****ing spell and have non-existent grammar. But most importantly every Irish person is an expert on everything from the economy to education.

    Easy there!

    It has taught me to back up what I say with sources because someone will call me up on it if I just spout ****e.
    And vice versa.

    I wish people would provide sources in real life too. One day..

    That there's nothing quite like the Irish sense of humour.

    That there isn't a "fast lane" and it's not road tax, mainly.



    I usually only remember these when i'm in the fast lane with no tax disc in the window.

    One of the funniest things I've read on here was on something about the edge wearing his hat to a funeral and someone posted that he would love to stick a knife in him.

    This wasn't a serious post obviously but for some reason I absolutely pissed myself laughing. It didn't help that I read it late at night and I had to put my face in the pillow as my girlfriend kept asking me what I was laughing at. Even now thinking about this has me in tears of laughter.

    I love the ones like that! My favourite one was the guy going in to buy a cool cycling helmet, and after 10 minutes of struggling to put one on his head the shop assistant came over and told him it was a saddle cover!! :D

    My two favourite ever posts are recent ones, Jesus they still make me piddle my pants when I read them. Proper belly laughs :D

    El Guapo!'s fcuking spoon.
    And Auntie Psychotics respect for animals.

    Lol. If laughter is good for you then I'm in rude health at the minute. Thanks for that one. I was already at a 9 on the giggle stakes after the fictional knifing of the edge. Now I'm at a spinal tap style 11.
