Couple years ago went on a date with an OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGSOHOT redhead Irish lass named Rhianna. She was quite a few years older than me and I made a complete fool out of myself on the date, but hey, I had a good time.

Of course you made a fool out of yourself, you are an Irish Lad and you were only doing what comes natural.

English, Scottish and Irish with a little German thrown in for aggresiveness

I always thought you were half Irish and half Scottish. You know the type that likes to drink but hates paying for it!

I wouldn't say 'widely' but i have seen it at a few stores in Arizona and back when i lived in Minnesota.

I think I have a new favorite beer. This stuff is AMAZING. So incredibly smooth!

You're a long way from Tipparary . . .

I lived in Dublin, Ireland at age 18-21, and it is not "all that" - alcoholism is so severe it is considered "normal". The social life is built around the pub; food is basic meat and potatoes. If you like that it is awesome; if not, not so ideal.

I did love Ireland since I was a drinker then . . . and it is a beautiful - if cold and rainy - country.

I'm not Irish but I have been inside one, hahahahahahhahahah

I can't say i don't agree with your last statement.

I was there for only two weeks, and i loved every second of it.

Wow! 2 whole weeks - you ARE an expert. I was only there for 3 years and integrated completely into their society (I was a chess reporter and newspaper/magazine journalist).

Summer is SHORT . . . the locals joke it only LASTS 2 weeks . . . that's why the only tans come from a salon.

I wasn't claiming to be an expert...sheesh. I was just saying.

EDIT: I've studied a LOT of Irish history and I wasn't disagreeing with any of your statements.

Then your last statement confused me.

Don't ANYbody get me wrong . . . I loved my experience in Ireland and i do have a very special love for Eire. However, reading some of the BLARNEY waxing nostalgic about the "old sod" (they never visited) gets me a bit nauseous . . .

Double negative. I too drank while in Ireland and thought the country was beautiful (along with cold and rainy, which i loved).

Give them a break about the 'waxing nostalgic'. They just haven't been as fortunate as us to have been there before. I know you lived there and that is a little different, but those that have visited hold a special place as well (even those that desire to visit, but haven't been able to yet).

I meant no disrespect or ill will.

 

[vi edit]

I spent two weeks in Ireland, mostly in Dublin. You can keep that city. No thanks. Couldn't afford to drink there! $5 for a pint? Pffffffffffft!

Now get me out to the west cost and now we're talking. In fact, I was so enamored with it, that I would almost consider living there six months out of the year later on in my life. Cold? Pfffffffffft!...-20F is COLD. The 30 degrees they see there is a welcome temp. Also, they rarely see above 80 degrees with little to no humidity. Sign me up!

vi, we pay 4.50 for a GOOD pint here in AZ.
