Comments on: Ireland & USA Little Differences # 17: Going Out The In-Door http://irishkc.com/going-out-the-in-door.htm Kansas City Irish Festivals, Music, Pubs, & Events by an Artist in Ireland Thu, 24 May 2012 09:10:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: eolai http://irishkc.com/going-out-the-in-door.htm#comment-28646 eolai Tue, 09 Jan 2007 16:52:41 +0000 http://irishkc.com/index.php/going-out-the-in-door.htm#comment-28646 Primal, you needed a break from the break you needed? You know 6 SUVs is a 20% increase from 5. Throw in a spare wheel and I'm sure you'd get to 21% I know what it's like at home, really I do. Not just from the eight trips home, but there were already too many SUV's (didn't we call them People Carriers?) when I left in '99. That said, 'twill be many years, if ever that Ireland catches up with the county I live in - and as for the county next door, that's just pure science fiction; this county won't even catch up with that one. The difference for me is that here I am mostly bemused, because if it gets too odd I can always issue a disclaimer and if it gets worse run home crying, but in Ireland I am mostly angry, with no disclaimers allowed and nowhere to retreat to. Kav, will you publish it? And how did you know I got into trouble? Primal, you needed a break from the break you needed?

I know what it’s like at home, really I do. Not just from the eight trips home, but there were already too many SUV’s (didn’t we call them People Carriers?) when I left in ‘99. That said, ’twill be many years, if ever that Ireland catches up with the county I live in - and as for the county next door, that’s just pure science fiction; this county won’t even catch up with that one.

The difference for me is that here I am mostly bemused, because if it gets too odd I can always issue a disclaimer and if it gets worse run home crying, but in Ireland I am mostly angry, with no disclaimers allowed and nowhere to retreat to.

Kav, will you publish it? And how did you know I got into trouble?

You've got a ton of material for the "man transported to place where he's like a fish out of water and does loads of comical things that get him in trouble with the locals" type of novel.

SUV sales in Ireland were up 21% on the previous year in <a href="http://www.finfacts.com/irelandbusinessnews/publish/article_10006931.shtml" rel="nofollow">August</a> '06. And remember my pre-The Feathers experience (similar to your doors one) at the <a>Whitewater Shopping Centre</a>. And, and, and don't remind me that I not supposed to be reading/writing blogs this week. I needed a break. Are you sure you really want to come home, Eolaí?
