the obvious thing to do is make them sleep in the chicken shed. if it's good enough for irish kids, it's good enough for foreigners. the gen-yoo-ine irish experience!

When the lamp glowed
a yolk of light
In their back window,
The child in the henhouse
put his eye to the chink.
Little henhouse boy,

Sharp faced as new moons
Remembered your photo still
Glimpsed like a rodent
On the floor of my mind.

That almost sounds like a way better version of something Danzig would come up with. Except the Danzig version would have at least 1 line dedicated to the idea of someone getting raped, and it would make absolutely no sense anyway.

To come over to Ireland to travel around and then say you've no money is a load of bollocks. Anyone who's done any research beforehand should know that it's one of the most expensive countries in the world. If you're gonna come over here (or travel anywhere) you should plan for it even in some basic way.
I've met shit loads of people travelling around Ireland who say they've no money, but when it comes to getting booze for the night they always seem to be able to come up with it. Amazing.
I think everyone should be able to travel about if they want, sure I put up loads of people and have a laugh with them generally, but to do it and then say you've "no money" is a total load of shit, cause if you truly had "no money" you wouldn't be fuckin travelling around.

The littlest hobo had no money, and that dog travelled all over the gaff:

Here is an archive photo to prove it.

All yankee crusts have credit cards in spite of being brainwashed by CrimeThinc.
Point it out to them and you've got hours of entertainment.

Ah, oul Anarcostacey, the hottest crust vixen there ever was.
Bernard fell victim of her charms.
As did Ian Moore.
Funniest thing ever.

I don't remember the punksex girl's name, I just remember how everyone's eyes
popped out of their heads when they found her website.
Nothing can turn a mildly attractive and slightly dull girl into an incredible heart throb
like a full set of splayed vulva photos.
Sex is hilarious.

I lived with her for a few months when she first came over, then she met a friend of a friend of mine from Carlow and moved down there for a while. What a crazy, self-involved and annoying bitch. Kirstie was her name, if I remember right... she came from Cleveland and was very mid-western.

And Oly, you definitely are remembering her through boner-tinted glasses... like when people remember the act of remembering a dream rather then the actual dream... you are remembering thinking she was hot because of the porn, rather then remembering how she was in real life.... because as far as I remember she wasn't even up to 'mildly attractive'. Far far from it.

Someone please 'show her this thread'. I want a Canadian Tara style episode...

She was a girl who was into punk and had no obvious deformities.
That makes her mildly attractive.

Maybe i was blinded by her obvious personality deformities.

I've never met a nude model that I thought was interesting or sound.
Exhibitionists, nymphomaniacs, total slags - all of them are great craic.
But never, ever nude models.
Very sad, but very true.

I'm not just talking about men, I'm talking about women too.

Respect

Often, in smaller towns and villages and especially on a country road, if you walk past somebody it is customary to say hello. They may also ask you "how are you?", or another similar variation. It is polite to respond to this greeting but it is not expected that you would give any detail on how you really are, if the person is a stranger - a simple hello or "how are you?" or a simple comment on the weather will suffice! In this regard, try something like "Grand day!" - if it isn't raining, of course. To which the response will generally be "It is indeed, thank God".


When driving on rural roads, particularly where a driver has to pull in to allow you to pass, it is customary to wave a thanks to the other driver, by raising your hand from the steering wheel. This is particularly prevalant in rural areas of the West of Ireland where many drivers will automatically wave at everyone who drives past them. A polite hand wave (or even with just the index finger raised from the steering wheel) is customary and will be appreciated.


When accepting gifts, a polite refusal (such as, "no really you shouldn't") is common after the first offer of the item. Usually, this is followed with an insistence that the gift or offer is accepted, at which point your answer is likely to become more recognized. However, some people can be very persuasive - this isn't meant to be over-bearing, just courteous.
One thing which some visitors may find disconcerting is the response an Irish person may give to a "thank you". Most Irish people will respond with something along the lines of "It was nothing" or "not at all". This does not mean that they didn't try hard to please, but rather it is meant to suggest "I was happy to do it for you, so it was not any great difficulty" (even though it may have been!).

Joking on almost any topic will be welcomed, although even mild racism is not appreciated by the majority. Most Irish people are quite happy for friendly jibes regarding the Irish love of potatoes and drinking alcohol, however any jokes regarding the potato famine of the 19th Century could in some instances cause a similar amount of offence as joking about the September 11th attacks would in the United States. This can be quite a surprise considering the time scales involved but it is a subject most Irish people still feel strongly about.

shot with desire not ugly enough for you?? 'shot in the face', i believe you once called it.

Ah no, did I say that? I must have been drunk. I'm trying to be kinder in general these days, even when it's really funny to be mean. Plenty of them there are daycent, for real.

"A polite hand wave (or even with just the index finger raised from the steering wheel) is customary and will be appreciated."

They did they're homework here at least.

 

[Corm]

Jesus, that passage quoted there is amazing. Nearly all true as well (apart from the racism and famine bit).

did that guy Matt who "might have killed someone duude" live with you as well?

 

[Cormcolash]

Yeah what the fuck, sure everyone loves a bit of the old mild racism, and don't start me with those famine jokes, they're gas they are! Jokes about "The Troubles" though, you can't beat that, they can really set a conversation alight!!!

 

[Carlow Punks!]

Yep...that was an interesting couple of months alright, with the two of them.
whats the 'might of killed someone' reference?
