Things I have learnt since living in Ireland…
- That just because you want to get somewhere on time doesn’t mean everyone else on the road does.
- Respecting the locals because “they know the roads” doesn’t necessarily mean they will drive quicker or be any less of an idiot than a tourist.
- ‘Next Day Delivery’ actually means whenever they get around to it.
- There is no post on a Saturday.
- There are chavs everywhere (even in sleeply little fishing villages).
- No one can drive in Ireland – thus cementing my belief that I am the best driver in the world.
- Lasercards aren’t worth the plastic they’re printed on.
- The way of life might be relaxed but unfortunately there are a few people here that do need things doing quickly and don’t appreciate the slacking attitute.
- The Garda are far better at “keeping the peace” than the Police in the UK are at “policing the population”.
See!? I don’t always complain.

This is a blog about what I experience every day but not about personal matters. For that you just have to know me in real life and listen to me rant.
