Moving back to Ireland (1 Viewer)

[billygannon]

I'm thinking about it. Any opinions? I'm living in the UK at the moment.

 

[Lili Marlene]

How is the UK?

 

[billygannon]

It's alright. We had rat for dinner last night - it was done with a curry sauce I managed to extract from some bins outside a local Indian. Catching the rat was surprisingly easy - although I'd prefer to do it with pants on. I've no idea what we'll eat tonight. Maybe rat again? Maybe some seaweed? There's always seaweed.

No quitters allowed. We only have enough rats to feed ourselves

Are you looking to have an abortion? The flood gates are a bit jammed in that department right now. I think someone might have built a dam on top of it or something.

I've been reading Morrissey's autobiography and apparently 'irish' is an all encompassing adjective so all in all i'd say the atmosphere is feeling pretty Irish right now.

Jane left though. Ask her what she thinks of Ireland actually.

Jane left Ireland?

All the reasons you left are probably still here. And could even be worse.

It is depressing, corrupt, expensive shithole with godawful weather that is intermittently very violent.

The arts can be quite good, if you have the money. In fact it's a bloody great place to live if you have loads of money, otherwise it can be a real slog.

Most people drink to deal with this.

Jane left Ireland?

@jane

although she seems to be jumping back and forth based on twitter.

Yeah, I know you meant Ruffino. I saw she was in Stockholm or somewhere. I didn't know it was permanent. Good for her.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Oh I thought you were just trying to rile me up for not using a small J.

Feel free to ask her, i'm only going by twitter here. It seems to be permanent.



Anyway to get most of the jobs in Ireland you have to be willing to work in a call center or similar, do something hyper-specialized that there just happens to be a job for or be multi-lingual. If you have a few languages you'd probably be better off working in Brussels or some other mainland european city imho

We don't have that kind of relationship.

The job isn't a problem. The Queen needs a viceroy and I'm her man.

Wait, Ireland or the north?

 

[billygannon]

Eire

That kind of attitude won't win you any friends over here.

Just make sure you're running to something and not running from something, would be my pseudo-philosophical advice.

 

[Space]

Do you want to move back?

 

[rettucs]

I would say no. England and America are the only place where you can score chicks cos you have an Irish accent. Doesn't work in Ireland at all.

So either stay in England or go to America

 

[Lili Marlene]

Why did you leave? As 7 says, things haven't changed much here.

dublinstreets.blogspot hasn't come back, that's about it.
