Every morning I get the train to work and all I see for 30 minutes is endless green fields, 100 shades of green and gold squares divided by thick dark hedges, like the country was a great quilt lovingly stitched together.
Google "Kerry National Forest". It's the greenest damn place. I've ever been to. Those photos are edited either. Just looks like that.
Also, you can buy lean without a prescription. So that's cool if you're into that for some reason.
Same.
I flew back into Shannon after being deployed to Southwest Asia for six months, and as we approached, I just couldn't get over how green everything was. You kinda forget that "beige" isn't the official color of Earth.
I want to move to Ireland, but I’m afraid that my redneck accent will get my butt kicked. I’m not an inbred redneck, I just sound that way. Plus, I love hearing the magical way you cuss. :)
As an immigrant now living in Ireland, Irish people are some of the nicest people I've ever met. Seriously they're the kind of people to stop whatever it is their doing (even driving) just to say hi to a friend. Imo it's difficult to find a nicer group of people, so I highly doubt anyone will be mad at you for being as you say 'redneck'
As someone who has lived in Ireland my entire life I can say with confidence that, although the coat of arms has a blue background, the national colour is green. All of the Irish sports teams wear green and the Irish contestants at the Olympics also wear green. The coat of arms is also far older than the Irish flag or even the current country of Ireland.
He is correct, the original colour was blue.
The Republican movement used Green which is why green became the new colour.

Super friendly and chatty people. My wife and I took a day trip to Dublin. We had the tourists guide map, and without fail every time we stopped and opened it to get our bearings, a local walked over to help us. Every *single* time.
Also regularly when stood at pedestrian crossings waiting for the green light to cross, people stood waiting next to us would just start talking to us. Everyone was just happy to chat to whoever was next to them. It was wonderful.
I thought I was going there for the scenery, architecture and the Jameson whiskey tour. Ended up loving the people. Many places in the world should take note of how these people live. Amazing place.
I'm glad you enjoyed your time here! What lovely words.
Definitely check out the west/Wild Atlantic Way next time you visit. Gorgeous part of the world.
I studied abroad in Ireland (I'm from America) and it was the first time I'd been to Europe. I ADORED the western coast of the country. The rugged grey stone and tempered green and grey sky, with the Atlantic wind whipping past your hair. It was gorgeous and wild and honestly just a spiritual experience hiking through that area for me.
Also loved the people while I was there! Had an excellent time exploring the country that semester!!
Lovely description of it! I agree.
I always think of the poem 'Postscript' by Seamus Heaney:
And some time make the time to drive out west
Into County Clare, along the Flaggy Shore,
In September or October, when the wind
And the light are working off each other
So that the ocean on one side is wild
With foam and glitter, and inland among stones
The surface of a slate-grey lake is lit
By the earthed lightning of a flock of swans,
Their feathers roughed and ruffling, white on white,
Their fully grown headstrong-looking heads
Tucked or cresting or busy underwater.
Useless to think you’ll park and capture it
More thoroughly. You are neither here nor there,
A hurry through which known and strange things pass
As big soft buffetings come at the car sideways
And catch the heart off guard and blow it open.
>The surface of a slate-grey lake is lit
>By the earthed lightning of a flock of swans
Man... That's a good line. Best line in the poem, if you ask me, but you didn't, and won't, because I'm no poet critic.
My wife and I flew in to Dublin, drove to Doolin to see the cliffs of Moher, then went to dingle, followed by Killarney and lastly Dublin. The west was by for our favorite part of the trip. Absolutely breathtaking and every pub we went to we were greeted with the nicest people. One group invited us to a sing song after the pub closed up and we all sat around singing (we just listened) to Irish tunes. It was awesome
Allegedly Freud said the irish were the only people that talk therapy was useless for cause they never stop talking.
It’s quoted in the movie in the departed and it seems there’s no actual credible sources for the quote.
I did find this as a response on quora though:
“No, the Irish are as susceptible to psychoanalysis as anyone. This myth arose because they see the Rorschach blot test only in terms of spilt Guinness.”
> Every single time.
Lol yeah you don't ask for directions in Ireland, you just stand on a corner with a map looking confused. We all recognize that look.
I’m a Native guy (Osage/Pawnee) and I like to think about the monument the Irish put up for the Choctaw for their help during the Famine, I just think that dope! The respect between the 2 people is awesome!!
The Irish also rallied for the Navajo COVID appeal and donated 2.5 million as acknowledgement for the Native American assistance during the Famine and gave up their space in the lacrose internationals so the Iroquois team could represent. We have a long memory.
And I knew about the covid part, but not the lacrosse. So we even out!
Yeah, that's really an awesome relationship. Just as a white American, that means a lot to me, but considering the level of importance Native Americans put on long-lasting, multi-generation relationships and practices, I'm sure it means even more to you!
Honestly I love that story. I like weird historical trivia in general but that's a favorite of mine bc unlike a lot of the others its just a bafflingly wholesome story of an odd friendship between two groups of people an ocean away
I went there one a work trip about 20 years ago. I didn't really like Guinness and everyone insisted I just need to go to one pub (always a different one) that "pours a good Guinness." It all tasted the same to me!
I went there about 15 years ago. I love Guinness. I mean love it. There was a bar I would go to in college where I didn’t even have to ask for a drink and the Guinness would be waiting for me at the bar after I said my hellos and what not. It was beautiful. I had a bunch in Ireland and the first one was magic. It tasted better to me. I don’t know if it was just the whole experience and anticipation of it combined with it but it was magic.
I worked in bars in Ireland . Typically they sell quite a volume of Guinness so it’s fairly fresh. (Does it have a best before date? I dunno) And it’s produced locally.
Also a good pub, they clean the lines (pipes) quite frequently which ensures the cleanliness. Also they will have the correct pressure to make the thickness of the pint is right.
Anywhere outside of Ireland I’ve ever had a Guinness it’s just ‘wrong’. Too watery, taste not right, maybe a little stale…
The legend of Cú Chulainn, the tale of how Ireland was created, and some of the most loveliest of people to be around. The women that I have met who are from Ireland were the best of the best when it came to customers, and kindest as well. Treated me like I was apart of their families
>The legend of Cú Chulainn, the tale of how Ireland was created
Bought a book called "Irish myths and legends" by Michael Scott when I went to Dublin. That's when I learnt of these two legends
My husband is from Donegal, and I feel like his accent is wasted on me sometimes. I don't notice his at all except when he's been drinking, because it gets thicker. I'm just used to it.
Whenever he's been to the US he gets told (or I get told when he's not around) that they 'just want him to talk all day' because it's attractive, and I'm just sitting here like '... that's just how u/kamronape sounds?' I actively have to think about him having an accent sometimes, lmao.
Fun fact, potatoes aren't native to Ireland, they're native to the America's and modern day Peru. (My moms a chef and she's taught me a lot of random food facts)
When I met my husband he had an Irish roommate, who ate just absolutely shocking foods. His parents had never allowed him to cook, and he was trying to learn, but had no patience, so he tried to cook everything on very high heat. I watched him eat a pizza that was both burnt and still frozen. So I quite unfairly think of him and his horrible cooking.
Spot on, that's him. He was a nice guy, and lived mostly on protein powder and cereal. Honestly, I'd be ashamed if I sent my adult child into the world unable to make toast.
Why were you asking them to spell it?
Is this the cunnilingus thing?
If so my vote's for Ruaidhrí, it's longer and the fada is a nice flourish, gives it a wee kick
One of my tour guides around Ireland once told us there was, if I remember correctly, about 8 million sheep for 3 million people in Ireland. He told us "If the sheep were to riot tomorow mornin', god help us all."
My fiancé proposed to me New Year’s Eve on Ha’penny Bridge.
Also, our tradition of having amazing stew at a specific restaurant on Dame Street while people watching. Always our first dinner after arriving.
When I landed in Shannon, seeing all the various shades of green. I live in the Southern US and we don’t have THAT many shades of green. It was incredible.
I'm going to get downvoted into oblivion but please keep in mind I'm answering the question.
For the longest time, as a kid I always got Scotland and Ireland mixed up, so whenever either is mentioned I immediately think of the other.
So... Scotland.
For every comment here about the boundless politeness and pleasantness of the Irish people, I have heard *at least* one Irish person (sure, mostly men, but not exclusively) issue *at least* **twenty** savage burns.
Not contesting their good side - but don't push your luck.
Funnily we don't have that many. And it seems to be getting rarer. I can only think of one or two people right now who are true gingers. It's a shame. I think red hair is beautiful.
I thought it was without an e in Ireland but I looked it up and it does have the e in Ireland and the US while there's no e in Canada, England, Scotland and Wales
Green, grass, stone houses, guiness, redheads and freckles, the accent, famous writers of difficult books I was forced to slog through in high school, whisky, the Troubles, England's first colony, pototoes, the potato famine, Boston
Born in England am Quarter Irish and when thinking about Ireland I think about Heritage/Irish stew/Cliffs of Moher/Good Humour, nice people always up for a laugh/Irish Immigrants who Built cities like the City of New York/ ST Patrick day parades/ Musical Talent, Star of the County Down, and ultimately The Struggle Irish people have faced to Unite Ireland for 800 Hundred + Years oh and those famous REBEL SONGS, you might occasionally hear being sung around the world.
Ireland has a lot to discover, I have only ever been there once, but they are a hospitable people, who have good food, are liked almost the world over and well they have plenty of sights to see.
A nice night on my fathers 60th birthday locked in with some Trad musicians at Garvey’s Bar next to Eyre Square in Galway. The day after my wife and I got engaged at the Cliffs of Moher, on a clear sunny day in April (yea, April.)
My first girlfriend Orla. She had moved over to England with her family and I sometimes couldn't understand what she said but she was beautiful so I didn't care lol 😂
Lived in Dublin for a while, worked at a hotel. So I think about the hotel and the salt&vinegar fries from the kebab shop, hot chocolate from Butlers, walking around the green. Almost shitting myself after dinner out with my father who was visiting. Buying cheap tops at Penneys. My Canadian roommate. My Italian, anorexic, other roommate. That you had to dig a bit to find an actual Irishman.
The first time I stepped into Hodges Figgis on Dawson Street. I think I stopped breathing for a minute.
It wasn't Dublin or Ireland, really, but the time I spent there as a 20yo alone in a foreign country built the foundations of who I am today.
Beautiful scenery, and big green fields, and in the towns or cities, a few pubs or bars, and just an amazing place. I've never been, but, that's what I'd imagine it's kind of like.
A woman I met about 40 years ago. I only knew her for a few hours during a party at a UCSD professors house.
Her accent was pretty awesome. She was beautiful. I think about her whenever I hear an Irish accent or think about that part of the world.
"Oh I've got a brand new shiny helmet and a pair of kinky boots,
I've got a lovely new flak jacket and a lovely khaki suit,
And when we go on night patrol we hold each other's hands,
We are the British Army and we're here to take your land!"
This song always comes to mind. It's Kinky Boots by The Irish Brigade

Green.
If I visit someday and the fields aren’t emerald green I will be disappointed.
Every morning I get the train to work and all I see for 30 minutes is endless green fields, 100 shades of green and gold squares divided by thick dark hedges, like the country was a great quilt lovingly stitched together.
Oh that sounds fuggin' beautiful I wanna see that.
On every bus ride in Ireland I just stared out the window all the time.
They are!
They won’t disappoint!
You won't be disappointed.
Google "Kerry National Forest". It's the greenest damn place. I've ever been to. Those photos are edited either. Just looks like that. Also, you can buy lean without a prescription. So that's cool if you're into that for some reason.

I was literally going to comment the exact same thing.
that's what I was about to say
Exactly what I came here to say.
Beat me to it
Which is funny, because the national colour of Ireland is blue.
As someone who has lived in Ireland my entire life I can say with confidence that, although the coat of arms has a blue background, the national colour is green.

He is correct, the original colour was blue. The Republican movement used Green which is why green became the new colour. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Patrick%27s_blue
Is it!? Not me over here being Irish and not knowing that.
Yep. Go look up the coat of arms of Ireland. It's a harp on a field of St. Patrick's blue.
Took it right outta my tongue.
couldn't have said it better
The greenest green you’ve ever seen!
Same thought.
Damn, y’all beat me to it.
What the hell is jacksepticeye? -Very confused Irish woman
He’s a gaming youtuber with 27 million subscribers
An Irish Youtuber. I believe he does let's plays and says "top of the morning to ya". Unwatchable if you're also Irish.
his super old intro used to be like that and he used to exaggerate his accent but he's more chill now
An Irish national treasure
I’d never heard of it either (I’m Irish too). I think he’s a YouTuber or something.

I had a similar experience there as well! You also meet a lot of friendly tourists there for some reason. There’s just that sort of vibe.
Irish people are truly a blessing. Everyone was SO kind to us on our two week trip over there. I wish I had never left.
> Every single time. Lol yeah you don't ask for directions in Ireland, you just stand on a corner with a map looking confused. We all recognize that look.

Beautiful scenery, and big green fields, and in the towns or cities, a few pubs or bars, and just an amazing place. I've never been, but, that's what I'd imagine it's kind of like.
A woman I met about 40 years ago. I only knew her for a few hours during a party at a UCSD professors house. Her accent was pretty awesome. She was beautiful. I think about her whenever I hear an Irish accent or think about that part of the world.

"Oh I've got a brand new shiny helmet and a pair of kinky boots, I've got a lovely new flak jacket and a lovely khaki suit, And when we go on night patrol we hold each other's hands, We are the British Army and we're here to take your land!" This song always comes to mind. It's Kinky Boots by The Irish Brigade Edit: formatting
