Haha I can't help myself from saying that. Winter and dark days last about 6 months in Ireland.... Feels that way anyway. There was a grand stretch today I have to say

"Predict a great summer every year - a triumph of optimism over experience"

Summer will be good this year, a farmer from Kerry just got confirmation from his prized goat who climbed to the top of Carruantoohil and saw the summer approaching. This isn't any ordinary goat, he's tipped to be crowned King Puck this year.

I remember eating in a Chinese restaurant in Spain with friends years ago and a Scottish group were eating across the way. It wasnt the finest cuisine but it was ok, the Scottish group sent their first round of food back and were given more food and after five minutes they stood up and ran out the door. We sat and finished the food and tipped extra haha

Giving artful back handed compliments like...

Describing your best mate as...

"Sure he's only a bollocks"

(as a term of endearment and respect...)

Also giving compliments like:

"Ah sure she/he could do worse!"

or...

"She's a thundering bitch

...ahhh but she's not the worst!"

Trying to end a phone conversation might as well be an artform in this country.

"OK...mind yourself now...yeah...OK...g'luck g'luck g'luck...yeah...talk to you soon... OK......"

I don't do that personally cause I don't drink but it's true haha the Polish at work said they can't understand why the Irish go to the same holiday places year after year where there's tonnes of more Irish people and all they do is go to Irish bars and eat Irish breakfasts
