Shaza! Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 so what's everyone's plan for the bank holiday? Hey Stephanie! how're you? oh not much really, just gonna relax, take it eaaassyyy you? im guessing thats something in ireland???????? lol haha yeah it's like a day where everyone takes a holiday, we have a few of them during the year and it's always on a Monday, there's no school or work or anything hello everyone I decided I would join in with the chat on this thread (being part irish myself) I was born in Hull but have an irish mother. I would love to visit Ireland one day (I hope later this year) Is there anywhere that you guys would recommend I visit? & places I should avoid (I know even in the lovliest of countries there's places you should avoid) Hello! welcome to the thread It's lovely to see someone so proud of their Irish heritage! Well I would recommend Killarney, Co. Kerry - it's one of the biggest tourist spots in Ireland and has really nice scenery, and the cliffs of Moher in Co. Clare is a great place to visit too! Places to avoid? hmm.. well don't bother coming to Limerick cos there's nothing to see here plus there's a bit of a bad reputation in the city that it can be dangerous but it's not that bad other than that most places are fine!

neeve272 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hey!!!!!!!!!!! Wow it's been forever!! How's everyone here!! Welcome to the newbies! DarkLight (sorry, I don't know your real name), I can imagine that must've been annoying to hear that all your life, but I think it comes from the whole history between Ireland and England...sometimes some Irish people need to feel that they're not inferior (cos that's what the English wanted Irish people to believe) so it comes out as The Irish are the best, or I'm proud to be Irish or whatever.....I think it's unavoidable. But in my opinion (and this is coming from one of the least patriotic people ever, lol) there are so many more things to be proud of than your nationality. Things you have to work for and achieve by your own talents and efforts are much more significant than where you were born. Sorry, is this a bit heavy fora Sunday afternoon? lol. It's great to be back! Stephanie, I added you on facebook Sheree, how were the exams? Debbie, aaaaaaaaaaaaah I'm too excited!!! xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
