Real friendship takes years to establish. I wouldn't expect someone to become a really close friend in a short period of time.

A lot of Irish people support Premiership teams for historical reasons. Ireland's history of emigration has meant that lots of Irish people have played in English League teams. Good Irish footballers if they wanted to be successful had to go to England to become professional players. There are a million Irish born people living in the UK so naturally they followed teams that had Irish players as part of their team e.g. Liam Brady played for Arsenal and Sampdoria in the 1970s and 1980s. Roy Keane was captain of Man Utd for several years during the 1990s/2000s. There are countless other examples. Harry Kane, the England captain is first generation Irish. The connections are long and deep. Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow etc. all have had large Irish immigrant communities and those associations continue. Gaelic football and hurling are both native sports in Ireland. They have the biggest national and local support. Every community in the country has it's local and county teams. The supporters are more passionate because the players are from the community. They see them every day, they work with them etc. Gaelic players are not professional so they all have day jobs. However they train just as hard as professionals. They literally do it for the love of the game and pride in their county (condado).

I know a few foreign people who have said the same about Irish people, we smile and are friendly, but that doesn't mean we want to be friends. Friendship means a deep obligation in Ireland, a good friend is like family, it's very important and most Irish people will maintain a distance because of this.

The thing about making friends in Ireland is that we have a parish mindset. So friendships are created younger in schools and in housing estates and not so much outside those locations they keep it local. so If you're new to Ireland kids will become friends faster and longer but adults tend to socialise with who they grew up with. Nothing to do with race.

Do u have any friends u made in adulthood

Hi Marc, let me firstly say that your English is excellent and I understood you perfectly. On your last point, I think it is the same in a lot of places (not just Ireland) - until you start 'putting down roots', people don't want to invest in deep friendships because they are not sure if you are staying. I know it's a bit of a Catch-22 but I'm Irish living in Germany and I got this sense here also. You've got to remember also that if you live in Dublin, a lot of people have moved there from the rest of Ireland and they have their network of friends already in place from their home town. If you are active, when I lived in Dublin, I was in a hiking club - we met every two weeks and hiked mostly in Wicklow. It was a great way to meet new friends.

1 thing I noticed when watching English/UK TV was that people seem to make friends really quickly. They meet a few times and consider each other friends. Irish people are far more cagey. We take a long time to consider someone a real friend. We usually have work friends and home friends. Home friends are usually built up over many many years generally through school whereas work friends, if we change jobs, usually the friendship phases out. Same with neighbours. We are quite careful who we allow be close but once your in, you're a friend for life.

Unfortunately for in comers, we never do get "in" . Larger Irish families satisfy a lot of need for company. Social do's and don'ts are v distinct in Ireland. That can make it harder to mesh in as you don't know the rules. There is also an understandable resistance/ dislike for English accents. Collective guilt is thing. In spite of having made Ireland my family's home for 40 years, by choice, people are very quick to assume that I'm some kind of acolyte of Cromwell. It can be dispiriting but heck, I still dont want to be anywhere else.

You are 100% right about the Irish being difficult to form friendships with which is strange because we are also genuinely one of the most welcoming people you would ever meet. This contradiction is not just with outsiders but also among the Irish themselves. It also is not a two faced characteristic however in other ways we also suffer from that too. I have long pondered this and my view is his. People who become friends will open up to each other and the Irish do not like the vulnerability that this brings. We as a nation suffer from an ongoing theme of begrudgery and petty jealously amongst ourselves and if you open up yourself then you expose yourself to potential negativity. We are not a tight a nation as I believe we think we are. If we were a nation who as individuals formed a closer bond with each other then our people would have United together easily and cast out our British oppressors hundreds of years ago. That’s my view

Yeah the no plugs in bathrooms is a safety thing, it’s to do with the high wattage that Irish sockets operate at

Many lrish meet their friends in school and have lifelong friendships. It is difficult to gain that sort of in depth trust and understanding quickly. It takes time. The onion analogy is a good one.

It's funny when someone from another country points it out to us as we are often told how friendly we are with tourists, but now that you have, yes, we are probably not the easiest nation to become friends with. I'm in my 60's and all those I consider friends are people I've known for decades. I've often thought this was just me, but it's interesting to hear it may be a national characteristic. There have been several attempts to introduce Water bills both North and South but (perhaps because it rains so much,) the Irish have fiercely and successfully resisted these attempts politically for the time being anyway.

As an Irish man, I agree with your last point. Yes we are friendly but it is actually hard to get close to an Irish person. We don't have plugs in the bathroom mainly for safety reasons, we use the same three pin system they use use in the UK which is supposed to be safer in a room with running water. By the way I support St. Patrick's Athletic football team. Many Irish people support English teams because most Irish international players play for English or other UK teams. We don't have the money in our own domestic league. But Gaelic football and hurling are incredibly popular in the country. So many people support UK team along with a domestic soccer club and their own county GAA team, Gaelic football and hurling as well as their own local club GAA team. Remember, GAA is an amateur sport so players do not earn a living from the game.

About the sunlight, Ireland is in the same timezone as the UK but is further west, so that means we really 'should' be half an hour behind the UK. What that means is that the sun rises and sets around half an hour later than it 'should'. So for example the sun starts setting at around 9:30 in Bath in the summer, but at 10:00 in Dublin, even though Dublin is only a tiny bit further north. OF course, Spain takes this to the extreme, being in +1 GMT despite being 1000+ km further west than the centre of that time zone. The sun starts setting at around 10:20 during the longest days of the year in A Coruña, even though it's far further south than Ireland/UK! On the other hand, the sun starts rising at about 7:00 on those days, while in Ireland it starts rising around 5:00.

different heating systems, in ireland hot water has to be heated up in a tank before use while spain you just heat as you use

No, electricity sockets in bathrooms is very much for safety reasons! Electricity and water/moisture really don’t mix!! 😳

You are correct about Irish people and the Premier league. It's a little bit like in Spain if you live in Valecia a lot of people still support real Madrid or barca. Even though valencia have a pretty strong set up. Yes there are a lot of valencia fans in valencia, but I've met people who support barca or Madrid and have never lived there. Even more so when you go to places in spain with no big team. Basque country being an exception most people there seem to support bilbao. I am a bohemians fan in dublin and the team is growing but a lot of people still just want the easy option of the premiership

Interesting observation…..you explained yourself well…i wish you good luck on your irish adventure! :-)

If the water is heated by an immersion heater, then we turn it off once the water has been heated to avoid having an enormous electricity bill. With regard to water taxes, the Government tried to introduce them a few years ago and there was almost a national uprising as we think that this is more than covered in our income tax. There are no electricity sockets in bathrooms (apart sometimes for a shaver) for safety reasons. Water and electricity are not a good mix!

Hola Marc. Soy de Dublín pero vivo en Guadalajara, México desde hace tres años y medio. Un consejo, para enchufes eléctricos decimos "sockets", no "plug-ins". 👍🏼

We pay water bills in recent years. In the old days there was water bills, then it was moved to the Car Tax bills, then they brought back the Water bills.

going back a lot of the successful premier teams had a lot of irish players who had gone over for work, so you would get a lot of people supporting the team that they either knew the person or they came from their area.

Point 1 can be difficult for me sometimes too. I'm not sure if it'd because I've lived abroad or just how I am but it can be annoying even as an Irish person not knowing if someone like you or not.

Elec outlets in toilets/bathrooms are not allowed under electrical wiring regulations in the UK and Ireland followed suit. The reg dates back to the days of fuses when water and electricity were an even worse mixture than they are today. You must have noticed the same thing when you lived in Bath. There are exceptions for shavers and double insulated heaters. Many bathrooms have shaver sockets that are speccially protected, they're usually in the same unit as the light neatr the mirror.

Funny video, your spot on about us, ps, can you make a Spanish omelette video please!

2:56 THE * PRICE* OF. Hot Water is turned off at peak times to save money, It's 30-50% cheaper to heat your Immersion tank at off peak times and with good insulation that will stay hot until the next off peak time. Yes no plugs in bathrooms because we use 240V electricity, you use 110V. There are some bathrooms fitted with individual outlets connected to transformers so you can use your 110-115V Spanish accessories. But all the Irish (and British) electrical goods work to a 240V standard which is way too dangerous for a bathroom. 6:02 TO " ESTABLISH" A... I Love this analysis. Well done, keep it up. 🙂

Our lovely politicians saw an opportunity to include a sell off of our water infrastructure, including the headaches, at the same time as the rest of the family silver was for sale after the big crash of 2010.

I feel embassesed that we do not pay for our water. Advanced societies just pay those bills

Point 3: aw mate, you've no idea. The bollocking you'd get off your parents if you forgot to turn off the immersion back in the day 😂

I'm irish foreigners don't and can't take the humour at all!! But alot have made friends with irish and tbh most foreigners tend to stick with their own kind instead of mixing and getting into the culture of ireland. Show some respect and interest to ireland and it's history, way of life etc.You reap what you sow.

We already pay through council tax . Plus it falls 364 days a year . Great english . Not a issue

Irish people tend to talk a lot but say very little. When you first meet Irish people you are getting a front. It's very common to meet new people and behave very friendly but it takes a long time before we divulge anything of personal significance about ourselves, family, and or our close friends who we grew up with. Perhaps this behaviour is a remnant of Gaelic Clan Culture as we do tend to be suspicious of outsiders including other Irish people that we aren't too familiar with. We'll have the craic with a stranger but that is very different to the authentic person under the charm. It often unsettles foreigners when we finally reveal ourselves. You might find that your Irish friend who's never stopped laughing and joking for the past 6 months is actually an introvert with chronic social anxiety who visits his grandmother every Sunday that no longer recognises her family due to dementia.... you may need to meet an Irishman Twice before you know him.

Football was very stigmatised here ,up until the 90s.Up until 1971 the GAA had a series of rules against sports that originated in england which included Football ,rugby cricket and hockey ,if any member even attended a fund raiser for these supports let alone play or go to a match they were kicked out of the GAA.Thats 50 years ago but the legacy persists abit,in that football is considered an english game therefore the top level of competition there which is the premier league is superior to what we have here and also though its not really the case now ,but as i said the legacy is still there,that you might aswell be hung for asheep aswell as a lamb and support english teams because you were going to be considered a traitor either way. This is coming from a GAA fan btw,the ban was necessary at won time but it should have been abolished straight after independence not in 1971 it fuelled far too much resentment between the codes.

I am Irish and I f*****g hate GAA. I am seventy years of age and grew up with all the tyranny. In my home town Ballyfermot. the local Parish priest and his cronies chopped down soccer goalposts and barred grown men from church for starting up soccer teams. How are ye!!!

Irish people are a breed of their own, and it is taking some getting used. Too when we now have soo, soo many foreigners over here! And. We don't understand their language, which tends to make us keep our distance a bit and let them get on with there holiday or job or whatever else they are doing, ! No disrespect, we are only starting to get used to foreigners over here these past few years!! Oh and my sons support Manchester ⚽ football, why?? 🤔I do not understand this myself as a mother!! . Maybe. It has something to do with DAVID BECKHAM ?? 😨😱😵 😀😁😂
