Just when we thought Ireland had reverted straight back to the doom and gloom of November weather, it seems that the weekend isn’t looking too bad at all. Like, 23 DEGREES not too bad. Met Eireann forecasts that while Friday will be humid with rain expected later in the evening, top temperatures of 15 to […]

In this era of Netflix and perfectly legal internet streaming, it takes a lot for us to look at a TV schedule and actually feel quite impressed. Tonight, however, it seems like both RTÉ and TV3 have come up with the goods. The only thing is, we can’t decide which one to watch tonight and which […]

We love Ed as much as the nest fella.  But we just couldn’t be bothered going to the admirable lengths these crowds have.  Tickets for Ed Sheeran’s seven Irish gigs went on sale at 9am this morning… and his Galway fans have proved that they’re the best in the country by beginning to queue from […]

Do you ever have something that you just can’t let go of? Something so small, so petty that other people think you’re mad to still be harping on about it. Well, the Irish people have several.  We have opinions, and we don’t tend to change them. You should never wrong an Irish person, because we […]

Mastering the art of small talk is a skill. You can’t be too enthusiastic, you can’t reveal too much and God forbid you say what you actually mean. These are the unspoken rules of small talk. Which can make it hard for an outsider to understand the inner-workings of an Irish small talk conversation. So if […]

We’re not exactly used to this.  After a few days of basking in the glorious sunshine that Ireland has been providing us, it now looks like we’re being warned to stay indoors. Well, that goes for these five counties in Leinster anyway. People in Dublin, Carlow, Kildare, Wicklow and Meath have all been advised that a […]

With the temperature popping up as high as 30 degrees yesterday and heading that way again today, Irish people are feeling the heat. There is only one place you can turn when things get this hot and that is to your (even hotter) phone to fire up Twitter.  We know it might be a bit […]
