Does anyone find Irish guys very closed with their feelings? I’ve dated a few and find that it is very difficult for them to open up with their feelings. They are usually great fun and generous but I really find them emotionally slow. I’d like to hear from any women who have dated or married Irish men and whether they experienced this. Thanks.

I have dated Scottish, English, Dutch and Irish. Guess what? They’re all the same. I live in Ireland and am Irish. The Dutch guy was the worst experience of my life but it’s not because he’s dutch it’s because he’s an arse. I’m currently dating an Irish guy and he’s perfect. The Scottish guy was who I clicked with the most and the English guy didn’t work out but we just weren’t compatible!

It’s all about how you were raised usually.

HAPPY JOURNEY

Hello, I’d like to travel through Mexico and see all the interesting places. I’d like to get an accommodation that is both cheap and safe. Would you recommend me some web-sides, where I can find it or some particular facilities? Thank you.

Maybe Quintana Roo, but I say Puerto Vallarta. It’s incredibly beautiful and safe. I went a few days ago, and will be heading back.
Hopefully this answers your questions.

Good Luck and Have Fun!

I know its not the case for the US, but what about Republic of Ireland?

No,you have a choice,you can affirm or swear on the bible,I was sworn in as a juror and didn’t know I could affirm,but I was interested in the case and the working s of the courts so I didn’t object. It was a reasonably high profile case and I didn’t want to rock the boat and risk not being picked as juror.

These two countries have a torn past. They have been at war for centuries with Britain trying to over-run and conquer and Ireland being resilient in their defiance of British rule. But the past is the past and now its the 21st century. What is the nature of the relationship between these 2 country today? Are they close partners with a good friendship and economies ties or is there still a lot of ambivalence, dislike ans mistrust?

I think that with every passing generation the relations between the two nations are becoming easier. To get a real zeitgeist of the relationship, you should look towards sporting events which for the Irish are very important when playing against the English. For example, the Ireland-England in the Six Nations is very important and probably the most eagerly awaited game for Irish fans. In 2007, the English Anthem was played in Croke’s Park, a bastion of Irish culture, for the very first time. The reaction of the Irish fans was both respectful and defiant. I think Ireland has come a very long way in their feelings towards English people. To not jeer ”God save the Queen” says a lot about how far both countries have overcome centuries of war, mistrust and hatred. However, no matter how good relations are, there will always be that sense of injustice against the English. While the vast majority of English people are friendly towards Irish people, there are a few that would love for us to be under their rule again. I don’t care what anyone else here says: some English people look down on Irish people. On the other hand, there are some Irish people who hate the English on principle without any reason or logic to it at all. All they see is 800 years and nothing else. They can’t see that times have moved on. For the vast majority, both English and Irish people are respectful, friendly and polite to each other with very close economic ties, with playful banter being common when they encounter each other.

“Monastic and ecclesiastical reform from Ireland and England created revolutionary changes in the Frankish church and made the Carolingian revolution of the eighth century possible.” Agree or Disagree. Why? This is for a history paper and I have hit a wall. I would like a few others opinions. Thanks!

Very briefly:

During the so-called Dark Ages monasticism survived on the western fringes of Europe. Tradition has it that Ireland was converted by St Patrick, who may have come from the region of the Severn Estuary; and certainly Welsh monks from the monastic schools in the south played a significant role in the spread of Christianity and monasticism in Ireland (also in Brittany). In turn, Irish missionaries began the conversion of the Picts in Scotland (St Columba, 563 CE), establishing monasteries on Iona and elsewhere. In 635 CE the Ionian monk Aidan founded a monastery at Lindisfarne, in Northumberland, but in this century Aidan’s ‘Celtic’ tradition co-existed with the Latin tradition; the issue was resolved at the Synod of Whitby, where King Oswiu of Northumberland elected to observe the customs of Rome. The period is known as The Age of Saints.

The 7th Century saw the founding of monastic schools in the north east of England, most notably at Whitby, Jarrow and York. Irish missionaries had been active on the continent and this effort was now heightened by English monks aligned with the Church of Rome. The reputation of English seats of learning increased as Europe began to emerge from the Dark Ages. During the 8th Century the Frankish king Charlemagne (ruled 768 CE - 814 CE) embarked on a massive territorial expansion that was accompanied by the conversion of conquered territories to Roman Christianity. Charlemagne’s admiration for learning led to his founding a large number of monastic schools and scriptoria and his collection and copying of manuscripts from his rapidly expanding dominions. At the same time he enlisted the help of scholars from all over Christendom, not least from Anglo-Saxon England.

The most important English scholar was Alcuin of York, who joined Charlemagne’s Palace School in 782 CE. Among Alcuin’s pupils were Charlemagne himself and his sons Pepin and Louis. Alcuin and the assistants he brought with him from York greatly improved the educational standards at Charlemagne’s court, creating an atmosphere of scholarship and introducing the king to the liberal arts. Now regarded as one of the first universities, the Palace School became known as the School of Master Albinus, a cognomen of Alcuin. Amongst his many achievements, Alcuin is credited with the development of the uncial script known as Carolingian minuscule.

The Carolingian Renaissance saw a flowering of scholarship, literature, art, and architecture. Alcuin is regarded as is its most prominent figure.

I plan to stay with my family a couple of days in Las Vegas, and did a reservation in the Luxor Hotel.
I liked Luxor because of the good promotions they have, such as the "all you can eat" package and the Criss Angel shows they offer.
However, due to the bad reviews I have read about this hotel, I might cancel the reservation and might consider other Hotel.

Is Luxor a good option…?
What other hotels can you suggest me with similar or better promotions?

Thanks in advance.

Luxor is an Ok hotel but not the best deal you can get on the strip. Here are the problems with the Luxor.

1) There is a resort fee of $14.50 they will tag on per day. So whatever they are quoting you is plus the resort fee per day.
2) Criss Angels show sucks and is actually one of the worst shows in Vegas.

Here are comparable hotels that will give you a better deal for the money.. Flamingo, Aria, Bally’s, Imperial Palace, Planet Hollywood & MGM Grand. Here are some discount codes. http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/harrahs-discount-codes.php

How many people in Ireland can speak fluent Irish (or celtic or gaelic or whatever it is called)? All, almost all, most, not many..?
Also, how commonly is it used as a first langauge over there? Is it just in certain counties or something? Or does everybody speak English as their first language?

I speak fluent Irish. We have to learn it in School so basically everyone under 17/18 speaks Irish. Everyone I know speaks at least some Irish. Not many people are fluent. There are Gaeltachts where people speak Irish as their first language. Our road signs are in Irish and English, all leaflets from the Government around election time etc., are in Irish and English, so Irish is quite present in every day life. It’s jus called Irish BTW.
