665.1#*@@** the BegrudgersBHUNA::KCASEYBury Me in Milltown MalbayThu Oct 19 1989 20:1013
    
    I miss the free state of West Cork wher the sun always shines except
    when it rains and the pubs never shut and the music and crack (not a
    cocaine derivative for all you americans out there) and the people. 
    
    I think that you don't realise how important it is to an Irish person
    to be able to criticise until you are in someone elses country and you
    can't criticise without be told that if its all that bad go home. Its
    not that we are a negative people but we need to be able to begrudge.
    Its a national sport isn't it.

665.2It's a long, long way from Clare to hereRUTILE::AUNGIEREvery day is a new experienceThu Oct 19 1989 21:3210
    Micha,
    
    I met the wife down in O'Connors in Doolin. She is Spanish and
    everybody asks me did I meet her in Spain, I say no, I met her in
    Doolin and they ask me where is that.
    
    Nice to be there if the tax man was a little easier and the work
    was there.

Maith a fear Renee

(Excuse any misspellings, it's late here in the U. S. of A.)


I mean we all complain about the life at home in Ireland.  I, for one,
would drop everything at a moments notice and be back there tomorrow if
I thought I could make a go of it.

I'd kill for a chance to attend a Feshtival in Clare anytime in the
Summer, the stuff that dreams are made of.

665.4If only I had a pint of Murphys to cry into!!!!BHUNA::KCASEYBury Me in Milltown MalbaySat Oct 21 1989 00:2712
    Thats all we ever seem to think about.....over there.....
    
    Well as far as I'm concerned I could take anything the TAXMAN throws at
    me if the job was there.
    Maybe next year.
    Maybe Intel.
    Maybe Samsung.
    Maybe Never.

665.9Is it yourself that's innit?GAOV08::BMULQUEENThu Nov 23 1989 10:5811
    Speaking of O'Connors in Doolin, I was only there myself last night.
    Fancied a change from McSwiggans's so I hit off for Doolin with
    a couple of lads and lassies for the crack. 
    
    There was a set dancing session on last night and strangely enough
    for late November, there were plenty of foreigners soaking in the
    atmosphere.
    
    Ya can't beat it!
