    That is very good indeed! Although perhaps now you'll decide you might want to kill me around exam times, you seem to have a violent streak.

    Where did ye get the house? :)

    Well I'm not exactly prepared to give the address out. But the house is in the Mervue area. The main reason for the location being that two of the lads are going to GMIT. Bit of a walk I know, but I am 18 not 80.

    The thing about living with lads from school is that some people tend to just stick to that group and don't attempt to make new friends because it's easier just to stay with the friends you've already made.

    Fair point. Won't be allowing myself to let it happen though. :)

    Again Anywhere really. Any accommodation like Gort, Corrib etc you should find plenty of people similar to yourself.
    If you're not the "going out person" join plenty of societies and clubs and if you find plenty of people in any club/society you join then who you live with will not matter so much

    Where is there not torrential rain all year round here bar that one week of desertous sun we get. I'm fairly sure we could be classified as an aquatic species.

    well......cant really argue with that too much haha! just always hear about how much more it rains over there, and i vaguely remember something about the west getting something like 1 and a half times more rain then the east from lc geography

    The summers I spent there in the Gaeltacht I came home with bad sunburn. People got sun stroke.
    I came home to find out Dublin had been flooded.

    You cant win in this country. It throws everything at you.

    once again true. its great though that the biggest complaint irish people seem to be able to find about the place is that it may rain a bit more than other places

    I'm from the East, and I can honestly say that Galway is waaaaay wetter than the East Coast. Invest in rain gear. And hats and scarves. The winter cold in Galway is much more cutting than the cold in the east--it's damper and "gets inside your bones", to use the mammy cliché.

    At least its warmer than the north slightly. But srz. You need a rain jacket everywhere in this country.
