WE’RE A NOTICEABLE bunch when we head off on holidays.
1. It’s compulsory to go to the airport pub for a pint before the flight, no matter what the hour
Seven am Guinness and a fry up? Get on it.
2. Don’t give us weird looks when our suitcases are essentially Barry’s tea and King crisps
3. Yes, getting burned on the first day is not ideal, but it WILL go brown with a bit of aftersun
We swear!
4. Penneys is the only acceptable way to fill up a summer suitcase
Sure they get put into the summer box after the holiday, never to resurface until next year.
5. GAA jerseys are just like a comfort blanket to us
No, there’s no match on.
6. We turn up to the Irish pub expecting you to be impressed
* Uses accent extra loud*
The pints are muck but the craic is mighty.
7. It’s essential to take photos of cocktails by the pool for social media
We are doing what you’re doing, but IN THE SUN.
8. The quality of milk and butter will constantly be compared to the wonder of our own
Understand that ours is SO MUCH BETTER.
9. The weather must be checked every day just to be SURE there is no rain coming
We’re just an uneasy bunch. There’s also the need to call home and ask what the weather is like there.
10. Some sort of henna tattoo or hair braid is necessary to take home as a souvenir
How else will people know we were abroad? Our TAN?
11. Stop grabbing the sunloungers so early
We don’t like to surface until about 12pm, and we’re sick of throwing you dirties over the taken loungers.
12. An Ireland flag on balcony is definitely necessary
13. Finally, if we’re talking in Irish, we’re talking about you
No public space is safe.
