Oh hello talks with bollox, how are you? You caught me on the hop there maggot, it’s normally Saturday when you turn up for your weekly kicking, has it taken slightly longer for you to get around Mummies parental lock this week?
Forget the spelling for a bit will you. Keep your eye on the dates. This nearly caught us with our trousers down.
99% all correct there jimmy…compared to mainland uk then its infinitely superior in most of the ways you say.as soon as you drive off the ferry its welcome to 1980,then cross the border into Donegal,and its straight back to 1965…simple as that.like most city centres,then the centre is ok,then you step round the wrong corner,and your into some toilet slum poxhole area.possibly a deciding factor would be,theres not much of a red light area in Belfast as theres no need for one…most of the women out in the pubs are slappers anyway,happy hunting…apart from a few token Taliban then your correct about the immigrants.just jump into the tardisand come out into uk 1980 and itl be much the same as the north today…i certainly wouldn’t go back to the uk for a pension,though if you could afford it,then living in Donegal will mean you get your heart attack 10 years after you should be getting one living here…

I would be from glesgae,see u jimmeh…then I lived in sunny Donegal,and have now ended up in the north,for the differences in the lifestyles timewarp,id be better driving the tardis than a truck…
irish lorries:
Are you not from the north
Can’t beat Donegal beautiful place and cheap diesel but the norths not bad except for Belfast
The diesel is not that cheap anymore, especially if your not getting the VAT back.
You say the north is not that bad! I would say compared to the mainland it’s good.
What’s wrong with Belfast? IMO 1 of best city’s in the UK and Ireland, no real traffic plenty of great bars and food, lovely girls, friendly people not that expensive for parking or hotels. Not overrun by illegal immigrants, no beggars.
I think he is confusing laid backness with backwardness. If my fellow countrymen back in Scotland had a quarter of the work ethic as the people of the north of Ireland they wouldn’t do to bad.
I lived in Scotland till 13 years ago,lived in Donegal,then into the north… northern Ireland now is similar to Scotland in 1980…whilst Donegal is still in the 60s for most of it…not in a bad way,its just behind the times even further than northernireland is behindthe rest of the uk.

It interests me to find out how you think it’s behind the UK.
Give me a few examples?
I kinda agree with what your say, but the way I see it is it’s in a good way. You have come across as it’s not as good or worse. Then in this statement you say that it’s “not in a bad way” just behind the times, this confuses me
What times? You are comparing what to what? A city to a other city or the whole country to a country?
I wouldn’t want to rerurn to live in mainland uk for a pension,and I did say that although I think its still in the 80s here then it wasn’t in a bad way…being carefull what I write here,then compated to most uk cities,then when your walking about the main towns over here,then your not looking like a spot on a domino. its more laid back here in a lot of ways,to the extent that if your originally from hereand go to Donegal,or anywhere rural in eire,then its like stepping back in time ,that’s the way I see it over here having come from Scotland.when I left Glasgow,all it was good for was hosting junkies and asylum seekers,belfast is 3o years behind the uk in that respect,…but,on a lighter note,as much as most main cities are similar in a lot of repects,then substitute the city of your choice instead of Belfast from the following wee story.
having spent most of my workinglife as an international truck driver,i have visited many far away foriegn lands including most of Europe down asfaar as saudi Arabia and on one memorable occaision several years ago,i worked with a charity relief organisation delivering vital medical supplies to a region of outer mongolia where the various tribes had suffered terribly due to years of living in the fallout zone of various nuclear testing sites from post war russia.many were disfigured or mutated with varying degreees of deformity,missing limbs ,hair,teeth etc,their miserable daily routine consisted of burying dead,and tending you their disfigurments or open wounds with supperating pus dripping from them and ,on numerous occasions then as well as the elderly being eaten after death,then it was not an uncommon occurence for new born babies to be killed during the winter months and used for food for the rest of the tribe to survive the desolation surrounding them.the still born ones were eaten as a matter of course and they lived in total squalor with no regard for life or human dignity whatsoever. after several trips there when i integrated with them to a certain point,i was invited to sit with the elders,and at length,through an interpreter i was told all these facts,at that point,the cheif elder asked me where i had travelled from,i told him,belfast,to which he replied,belfast■■? what a ■■■■■ ■■■■■■■■■ of a place that is!!! …remeber and substitute the city of your choice for that one now…
