why you should move to leitrim (2 Viewers)

i'm living in a field six hours from dublin now. it's... interesting. they have no broadband here. and everyone knows your business.
we also steal the plums from your tree and throw dirty looks. the priest didn't give you a hamper and your kids can look all they like at the trampoline, they're never going on it. as soon as you apply for that well needed extension, we will object. don't even think about burning leaves. if your cat comes up here, its ours. we will use your land at all times for our fox hunts, knocking down fences, ditches and wrecking the land, you may or may not get invited to the hunt ball. we won't take down license plate numbers of people dumping on your land and sure we've been meaning to get rid of our mattress too. we will talk obsessively about the what colour you painted your gate. We can ride our horses in the middle of the road and all over your land without asking. We will park our SUVs in your driveway. We will offer a pittance for an acre and freeze you out socially even more when you refuse. But as soon as tragedy happens we'll be knocking on your door with a tin of USA biscuits. welcome to the neighbourhood...

it's like if fight club was set in ballyhaunis.
 
Leitrim the land of John McGahern's novels is quickly becoming a patchwork of ridiculous incongruous housing developments which look like a giant lego-man shit all over the landscape. Seriously, all the border counties have haywire planning laws or something. people seem able to build anything they want. Has anyone had the misfortune of driving through Cavan lately. It's like a pack of chimps were shown some episodes of Dallas, given some crack and told to try and recreate Southfork ranch on every hillside. Me eyes bled the last time I passed through.
