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 ๐Ÿ‘€

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 ๐Ÿ˜ด

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!

Nice place, nice people in my admittedly limited experience of visits over there. Roads are a disaster in Belfast however haha.

It was really bad with the new train/bus station being worked on
