There’s no place like home

By Rua MacTírean

Not much older than myself, she’s one of the 60 odd per cent of my family who currently reside abroad for one reason or another. 

Herself: “ay, London’s fine, but its not like home. It’s not a very friendly place.”

Myself:  ”you mean Belfast?”

Herself again: “eh, well, certain parts of Belfast”

    If we Irish could only get our act together and invade England. Then London would literally home. We could rename it ‘Little Leitrim’.

    Ye but then we’d have to start caring about the Lions and Andy Murray, it’d be such a hassle

    And then we’d just complain when they follow us home

    Good God I can see it now, an entire chunk of Dublin completely over run by beer bellied bald men with gold bracelets and England tattoos-horrible-it’ll be like Temple Bar
