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.
