Sure everytime a doctor asks her how she's feeling afterwards...that's all she'll say

"Ah Here " to show surprise or when someone is giving out about something and it doesn't bother you as much but you say "ah here ,that's not on at all"

Or using the word "pure" as a universal unit of measurement. "Hes pure stupid". " that tea is pure strong ". " that fella is pure fast"

"Middling" as an open/ radically sharing statement in response to "How are you?", "How's things?" Or "Hi...?"

The wondrous magical experience that is the crisp sandwich. The traditional Tayto cheese and onion, or the heretical but yummy Tayto salt and vinegar!

Obsession with the weather as an essential greeting and bonding experience.

A special relationship with bacon products(as a breakfast or dinner or indeed tea based meal!).

A deep seated irreverence for social mobility "who does she think she is....?" "It's far from triple glaze and a Prius he was raised!" etc.

A desire to travel the globe and yet be magneticly pulled to a bar which hosts the type of people you left home because of, listening to music you can't stand; as you high and kiss said people, whilst dancing with enthusiasm to said music!

No doubt there's more.....oh, so many more!

Yes, we are not suitable for psychoanalysis, yes we all do probably know "yer man from...." and yes there probably is a sharp witted poet and ridiculously,innocent Father Dougal, a must pay my share Ms Doyle and a "oh God, what will the neighbours think?" side to us.

We love to come home for Christmas, see speed limits as challenges, but want to be the best boys/girls and "do the right thing".

We are a hodge lodge of terrible and wonderful contradictions.

I for one am pleased to be a product of and contributing member of the mad society that is Irishdom!

Nice post op, its a 'good one'.

Grand = satisfactory but satisfactory is not grand. Maybe means no but no does not mean maybe. Cuttings from plants are slips but when you fall on a slippery surface that's a slip too. Gravel is chips but in a culinary sense chips are also chips. Logs are blocks, blocks are also blocks, there are no bricks here and all other building materials are slabs, except for that ubiquitous yet allusive timber called deal, although I've yet to be shown a deal tree. Overtaking another car while driving and fainting are both passing out and when people say 9o'clock they dont mean 9o'clock. Loving every day of it, its way better than grand! Ireland rocks!
