There was no shite about lifestyle parishes either. Killimordaly was as good as Clarinbridge back in the 80s.
Better actually as they won the county championship one time.
People didn't tend to lose the run of themselves .

Skiing holidays?

There is nothing special about skiing for people who live near the mountains.

Wouldn't be classed as a holiday then? Also the last time I checked there wasn't a world class skiing resort in the Mourne's that had people from abroad flocking to every winter.

I don't live in the Mournes.  I live in Switzerland. if you want posh in Switz you need a yacht.

Arriving home and seeing the "Welcome Home" sign / or was it made out of hedges, at Dublin airport and believing it. A week later heading back and holding back the tears at the same sign. Home was a lot different then, not sure I was ever comfortable calling it home during the celtic tiger years.

There was always something strange about the Celtic Tiger. All you needed was a bank loan and some vision. And why not build a shopping centre in the middle of nowhere.

Jesus it seems the last recession was horrible. This isnt too bad my dad still gives me 250 a week spending money for Uni and I work part time too so take home 400-450 a week.

Seriously? How does he expect you to graduate with all that money to drink every week?
