So many Irish here

[amazingtracy]

I never thought I'd be doing this!
Anyway my Irish self and child are in Spain for my holidays. I'd like to think I'm fairly typical in that I'm currently chugging sipping wine on the balcony while my sons asleep.
lol and behold I just heard my balcony neighbor on the phone to....... god knows who but , the place is lovely it seems...... and I quote "but there's more Irish here now".
I'm so tempted to ask my son to ensure he brushes his teeth when he's done with his bottle of whisky.

Racist bastard.

I don't get the thing about the whisky though. How will your son access his whisky?

Born with the ability to take shots and sing.

I'm olive skinned, European but look Mediterranean or even Asian according to some people.
I always hear comments about 'those eastern europeans' or 'them lot'.
I once went to view a house and the guy started talking to me about his favourite curry out of nowhere! imagine if I was actually south Asian! To think the only thing he thought he had in common with me was curry!
Don't worry about it, there's ignorant people everywhere op.

Could be worse, she could be a plastic paddy and try and list her family tree for you!

People will bring back the paddy jokes next .

All you can do is leave them to it and enjoy your holiday.

I guess people will say the right thing in England socially, then on holiday or in the family let their true feelings be known.

What the speaker on the other balcony British?

What an odd thing to say.

Cheeky Bastard.

The whisky thing was just my inner demon wanting to let her know that her neighbor was a feral Irish rebel. I'm less of a rebel and more of a single parent losing her sanity due to the lack of adult conversation. ( I don't have a 5th favorite fire Pokémon)

I knew I had misread your op somehow. Apologies. People are shitty. Find some nice Scottish people and befriend them.

bass she was I'm afraid. However I've enough of my family, including my sons dad British and beautiful enough to know that is wee shit to the left of me is ..... well nothing more than a wee shit!
I wouldn't mind but the place kind of shuts down at midnight. It's not like I'm in Magaluf.

How high does the volume on your phone go? Can you blast out a bit of the Pogues? Finish it off with a Clare Shout! (I'm from Newmarket-on-Fergus.)

I'm Irish and always hear "it's full or English" or similar when on holiday or when someone I know has been on a holiday (generally when there's an all inclusive option )

Find some nice Scottish people and befriend them

That's exactly what to do
😂😂😂

awrite it's grand. I lived in scotland for a year and bloody loved it! My son decided to roar out in his big Irish brogue. ' I love you mammy'. She made a swift exit cos I heard the door slam! I've never been so proud of my fog horned child. Delighted he wasn't asleep after all!

Could you download some good films to watch with headphones while the kids are asleep, or a gripping book? Just to try and help ignore the eejit nextdoor?
You should sprinkle some green shamrock glitter over their balcony once theyve gone to bed and wear your "the leprechauns made me do it" t shirts tomorrow

Just reminds me of a plane journey I took once. The pilot was Irish and Overheard someone saying that was a worry. Nowadays I would challenge it but I was too self conscious back than.

You hear this all the time.

Start of July it’s always ‘lots of Scottish’ as our school have finished then by August it’s lots of English as their schools have all finished.

I wouldn’t take it personally.

..... and what’s her prpblem? She sounds like she really needs a life.

I haven't taken it seriously as in shes's an arse and I'm Irish! I know who'd I'd rather be! Man there's 5 different religions/ nationalities/cultures in my immediate family- and that variation is normal among my peers. It's just sad to think that there are individuals that have a train of thought like that.

Awrite, I've always found the Irish/Scottish relationship more complex. Amazingtracy, Just enjoy your holiday and have fun with your son.

Not the bloody Irish!

I’m Irish and work in the NHS. I was taking arterial blood gases from a chap recently who said “so when we you fucking off home then?”
Nice guy.

Not the point of the thread but I adore Ireland and I really, really want to move their. Just so hard getting a teaching job there!

The irony is that about half of the people here are Spanish. The rest of us are Irish/ British/ polish. I may be wrong on the polish part but the language sounds like it.
I blame the Spanish myself!

Tell her to away and take her face for a shite. Cheeky cow.

Ah well Coffee - I'm one of the Scots who loves the Irish.
