Bez from Happy Mondays should apply.Could be just some sort of good vibes shaman that they need, to help keep the Brexit dream alive through the inevitable choppy waters
My wife is English and has no ties here! We moved over back in 2014. She's devastated by the Brexit vote - as are all her family and friends.It’s going horribly. I’m out of here as soon as the shit starts hitting the fan. Trying to convince my English gf it’s a good idea to move to Ireland. Thankfully her dad’s Irish, and lives here so she has ties here and could get the passport, but most of her family are based in the UK. Worried for them and my Brits friends who didn’t vote leave.
More different in a good way?My wife is English and has no ties here! We moved over back in 2014. She's devastated by the Brexit vote - as are all her family and friends.
I'm not sure about all your circumstances but the two big downsides to being here (we've found) are the housing situation and no NHS.
But otherwise it's grand - I've found Ireland to be a lot more different to the UK than I thought it would be!
I'm not sure... I'm a bit of a politics nerd and I'll definitely say Ireland is a lot, lot more democratic than the UK.More different in a good way?
Hopefully we'll have our own version of the NHS in the next decade or so.
Nah... you have to pay to see a GP here. In England it's always free. It's a big difference.They didnt have their collective sporto battered and bruised by the church
Isn't the HSE supposed to be our version of the NHS?
Well put! I'd agree with the majority of this. Wales and Scotland very different to England as well, though.I'm not sure... I'm a bit of a politics nerd and I'll definitely say Ireland is a lot, lot more democratic than the UK.
Okay... I'm generalising here... so obviously there are lots of exceptions!
We lived in the south of England and that's one of the most densely populated parts of Europe. You can tell... it really affects the character of the people there. Ireland has so much more space... like I mean the motorways are pretty much empty once you start going west. In England there are always people around, no matter where you go.
The NHS is a big difference too. I mean, English people can seem to be uncaring. However the NHS kind of sums up what's really good about English people... it's like when you need them, they'll be there for you. I think Ireland cares less about those in real need... but that'll change as Ireland, as a nation, gets wealthier. Hopefully we'll have our own version of the NHS in the next decade or so.
Irish radio has far too much talking!
I think Irish people are a lot more confident than English people... that's a good and bad thing!
Oh yeah... and the religion thing. I came to realise I grew up in a theocracy - 1980's Ireland was no weirder than any other fundamentalist religious county.
I don't know... I mean London is a different country to the rest of England. The north of England is very different to the south... likewise, the south west is different to the south east. There's a whole working class English culture which basically gets overlooked.
I'm really pissed off about Brexit. I can understand why there was a vote for it, but it's screwing up a country that means a lot to me.
Yeah... I think Ireland has a lot more in common with the north of England, Scotland and Wales. The south of England is a different place altogether... so many absolute pricks live there. But then... lots of the best people live there too.Well put! I'd agree with the majority of this. Wales and Scotland very different to England as well, though.
Yeah, it’s really tricky. London is full some of the worst pricks you’ll ever meet but I’ve also made really good friends here, and it’s properly multicultural.Yeah...

Oh yeah...Irish people more confident than English???
I spent years on the phones in customer service and you'd be delighted when an Irish person came on because they'd be so timid. Irish people and people from the north of England were the nicest, Londoners were mostly horrible and anyone from Devon and Cornwall were the fucking worst.
Mind you, this is just phone manner, I got the impression Irish people kind of expected incompetence from whoever they called.
My problem with the NHS for GP visits* is that you need to book a slot and wait a few days to be seen. I’d rather pay the money and be seen today when an intervention like an antibiotic might make a big difference to me, I don’t want to be sitting miserable waiting for a 5 minute consultation and a prescription. It’s different for a check up or routine bloods but not for when you really need it.Nah... you have to pay to see a GP here. In England it's always free. It's a big difference.
Boris Johnson's cunt dad. Hanging would be too good for anyone in the Johnson clan.
