Noel's angel Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 lol! But really, it's just the same as everywhere else really, except cold and rainy all the time. It's not some quaint medievil island where everyone speaks Irish, eats potatoes, farms and lives in castles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's still a gorgeous language. And I adore rain. And compared to Maine, Ireland is [i]warm[/i]. Which is funny considering we're farther south, but anywho...
