New in Ireland? anyone wanna go to the pub?

dylanphelan

So - I am heading over to Ireland for the first time in early September. I am a 34 year old guy from Cape Town, got an Irish passport a few years ago. I have a few cousins there and will be meeting up with them too.

I'm keen on meeting locals that'd like to have a few beers, maybe show me some of the local spots. I'm not that interested in overly commercial tourist spots.

I'm considering coming to live in Ireland next year, so I want to get to know the people, experience the culture etc...

I will have a car and will be travelling all over... I have 2, max 3 months to do this.

I enjoy a good pub crawl, scenic walks, food markets, wine.. maybe buy a bike and do some cycling.

Cheers :-)

Do forget to bring your vuvuzela, you'd be very popular in the local
if you could play the world cup song.

Yeah no problem, I can meet up with you for a good pub crawl in Dublin airport while getting you drunk enough to put you on the aircraft to your home in comfort. Don't worry about the travel expenses as that will be taken care of on the night.

Come fly, Come fly, Come fly away.

What part of Ireland are you coming to?

By the way, hardly anyone in Ireland drinks alcohol these days.

all over, going to take the ferry to Rosslare, then go to Cork, do some sailing at RCYC, then dublin, limerick and some of the smaller villages in between. I have plenty time, so will be there a while

Damn, was going to ask for a bottle of Richelieu, im almost out.

You've never stepped foot in Ireland before yet you have an Irish passport. Am I the only one who thinks that is absurd?

Good lad. A great Irish welcome. :rolleyes:

Just imagine meeting this feller and giving him 100,000 welcomes ? talk about repeating yourself 100,000 times. Not one Irish person in this country or the world could possibly say welcome 100,000 times. The guy would more than likely knock you out to shut a person up repeating themselves so many times.

It's not in Ireland

It's in South Africa.

Do you have a beard? Beards are a thing here now I'm told.
