Curious how we’re viewed across the water these days. Obviously our lot did a wee bit of terrorism over there a while back, but sure it’s all Semtex under the bridge now 👀
I like the English. Nicest people I’ve ever met, in fact. Obviously excluding Stephen Yaxley-Lennon and similar moonfruits, but we’ve plenty of similar dick-knuckles over here, can’t be helped. But yeah, great people and a gorgeous country. Ireland gets a lot of press for its scenery, but I don’t think it compares to some parts of England. For one, we don’t have any giant drawings of fellas with massive willies on our hillsides! Certainly none that are protected by World Heritage Sites. We have the Giant’s Causeway, a place so fascinating and amazing that I’ve never bothered my arse to go there in 40-odd years of life even though it’s only a 30-minute drive from where I live 😴
If you hate us and want rid of us, I couldn’t agree more. I hate us too. So don’t worry about hurting my feelings, have at it!
We visited the Titanic Museum last year and took a bus tour of the Peace Walls. I could feel the weight of history in the city (and not always in a good way) but I still adore Belfast, although the new flats going up in the Titanic Quarter are a disgrace, IMO.
The people were great, as they’ve always been. Loved the food and the Guinness! The missus had never been and would love to visit again.
