Impressions of the Emerald Isle



I collected some thoughts while touring around Ireland. Here they are in no particular order:

  • I do like the Celtic type of girl and Irish girls are a lot prettier than the ones I was used to seeing in the UK. Fancy that just on the next island.

  • Guinness is good for you. It's true. I believe it.

  • Never trust or worry about the weather when you get up, it will change before noon.

  • Slopes are always longer than they look. After that promising ridge it will just go on.

  • After the bend it will become steeper.

  • Roads always lead across the steepest bit of the hill.

  • Contrary to many other places in Europe fireplaces are not just decoration.

  • Pies are hot inside - fucking hot! Cures you of gluttony really fast.

  • Traffic lights don't have to make sense. Showing red to all directions is part of the fun.

  • Twelve-bed dorms are really not a good idea.
