So some woman came to the door from the Southern Peace Partnership.

[Sean]

They were doing a survey of local residents. First question, "what religion are you?"

At the answer, "atheist" I thought she was going to faint. It went downhill from there.

 

[islandman]

Which backwards country are you living in nowadays?

 

[Sean]

Which backwards country are you living in nowadays?

Northern Ireland. You wouldn't believe the extent to which religion informs everyday life over here.

 

[islandman]

Northern Ireland. You wouldn't believe the extent to which religion informs everyday life over here.

I would.

Cause it's Northern fuckin' Ireland and not France.

 

[blobfish]

Northern Ireland.

That's like bin Laden living in Israel.

 

[Sean]

I would.

Cause it's Northern fuckin' Ireland and not France.

Oh, I understood it intellectually, but the actual everyday bearing it has on people's lives has to be experienced to be believed.

 

[butters]

beware, you'll be labeled the anti-christ before you know it once the hardy few have given up trying to convert you one way or the other.

Religious pamphlets I can deal with, Semtex is a different matter all together.

[Sean]

I bought a house. And YOU don't get to call anyone mental!

 

[JohnnySavage]

Maybe I'll pop over for some Corned Beef and Cabbage.

 

[Sean]

The Irish don't eat corned beef, ffs!

 

[JohnnySavage]

The Irish don't eat corned beef, ffs!

Yes they do. Every St. Patrick's day. I'm thinking you know nothing of the Irish.

 

[dolf]

you bought a house in northern ireland.
even drivel gets to call you mental now.

there's a reason the rest of the world is full of irish people.
it's because even the irish don't want to live in ireland.

if you get blown up or your kneecaps are shot off then you'll have nobody to blame but yourself.

Question......
I thought Ireland was supposed to be peaceful these days? That's the last thing we heard down here (and bear in mind, we don't hear much on this side of the planet.)

 

[CandiCame]

Huh... Northern Ireland sounds nice...

Property prices are insanely cheap atm over here. I don't plan on being here long. I'm about 50% done with the refurb then it goes back on the market at a profit.

Until you meet a nice girl, start thinking about settling down, pop the question, have a few kids.

Before you know it, you're Irish.

God no, the NI accent drives me mad.

Funnily enough, though, I did get into a long, friendly conversation with the English girl in the charity shop...

That's why I never answer the door if it looks like they have pamphlets in their hands, or they're two dues with white shirts & bikes. Jehovah's Witless, Mormons on a mission, ahhhh stop it my head's gonna explode from the nonsense.
