Ireland: The Only Place Where...

Hello romance fans! Being an historical romance fan and a lover of all things Irish, a friend of mine (and native Irishman) gave these hilarious one-liners to me. I posted them on my blog for St. Patrick's Day, but was unable to really promote the post as I was celebrating my youngest daughter's birthday and gone all weekend. So, I thought I'd share them here. Trust me, these are all worth reading and I bet some of you will be saying "so true!"

I know St. Patrick's Day is long gone for this year, but I think these are very entertaining no matter what day it is. I hope you enjoy!

IRELAND - HOME SWEET HOME

The only place where........ 

• If you die from alcohol poisoning, you're considered a lightweight
• "Fu*k off" means "Are you serious?"
• The person that you insult most is probably your best friend
• Saying "I will, yeah" means that you definitely won't
• "Fu*k it, it's grand" means that you couldn't be bothered to finish it properly
• "He's fond of a drink" means he suffers from severe life-threatening alcoholism
• Saying you're going for a drink means you might not be seen again for 3 days
• Crisps are called 'Taytos' and fizzy drinks are called 'minerals'
• "For the craic" is the best reason for doing anything
• The best cure for a hangover is more drink
• Nobody can go a day without saying "Jaysus"
• "Meeting" has a double meaning

• Tea is the solution to every problem
• And water is the solution to every GAA injury
• "I got stuck behind a tractor" is a perfectly valid reason for being late
• You can insert the name of a farming or gardening tool into any sentence and it still makes sense, e.g. "I had a rake of drink last night" or "I'll be out in a minute, I'm just shoveling down the dinner"
• Saying "Now we're sucking diesel" means that you are happy with the outcome of the situation
• Drinking "tae" is everyone's favourite past time
• You're scared of the wooden spoon
• The word 'like' goes in every sentence
• You can say "Any craic?" to a garda and you won't get arrested
• 'The dogs' boll*cks' means something brilliant
